Indeed, I have been quite astounded by the relative lack of zeal of the national press in pursuing this rumor. No one has been able to get an "exclusive" interview. Kerry gets off with a "categorical" denial. Not even a "Do you even know Alex Polier?" If nothing else, it would seem to be a story where these rumors came from. How did Kerry get connected with Polier in the first place? As for her statement that "she figured they would see that these rumors were false and let it go," who's she kidding. She has a degree from Columbia and she believes that? Puhleeze!

It seems to me that statement raises more questions than it answers. I'm very concerned.

Quite so. What are they trying to hide?

And if they did have an affair, how did he do?

And why didn't they go back to the mysterious friend and find out how long she has been telling her tale?

This morning, Mr. Drum concluded that Burkett's tale of scrubbed files was credible because he's been peddling the same story for several years!

(Let's apply that rationale to the inmates of a psyche ward or federal prison....)

Evidence and corroberation isn't nearly as compelling as persistance when establishing what one should accept as truth.

Oh... wait... that's been the backdrop music for Calpunditry for the past several days!

My bad.

Hey now, no fair, We all need to drop this story. As soon as Kerry and Polier account for every minute of every day of their live so that me we might be able to categorically know for CERTAIN that they were never left unsupervised together for more than say 7 minutes. That way we'll know nothing ever happened.

Notice, how what she said was all in the past tense, 'Never had' and 'Never interned or worked'. I mean, great Scott Ott!, she completely forgot to deny it in the present time! This could be going on now!!!! NOW!!!
He could be slipping off to Kenya every night.

You're right Phil. In that case we will need to see credit card records for every resident of Massachusetts as well as D.C. so we can be sure that Kerry hasn't obtained a card under an assumed name and falsified address to pay for those Kenya flights.

If those records are not released, it will only raise more questions.

Fellow conservatives, lend me your ear, I come not to praise Kerry but rather to point out the failing in pursuing this. The left is hyperventilating over Bush's ANR service, for no good reason. Let's not sink to that level.

Kerry's voting record contains all we need. And besides, Clinton got a blow job in the Oval Office and the public said "so what". Exactly what do you expect to happen with this?

Exactly what do you expect to happen with this?

Nothing but a few laughs. Why? Did it look like we were being serious? Are we too talented at imitating the Mobyists for our own good?

Speak for yourself McGehee... I'm concerned. I'm very concerned.

ah- I can't do it with a straight face.

No, No, No.

You have missed the conspiracy in all this. Kerry's camp has maintained that they could "handle these allegations" all along.

Sooo, the REAL affair wasn't with Alex, or Alex had agreed to deny it (from Kenya) to embarrass Drudge, who was "salted" with planted, false evidence the Alex/John affair.

Then when the REAL story comes to light, Drudge is the boy who cried "wolf."

Or maybe there is ANOTHER Alex who is really male....

Burkett has been consistent... except when he was not consistent, as noted in a post by (wait for it) Kevin Drum.

So Kerry screwed around. So what? It's only sex. Republicans need to get more nooky and stop being so moralistic. Fidelity is as outdated as religion.

My blogfather returns! (as Kerry trembles....)
My blogfather is back!

And he's mad as hell at John Kerry!

If John Kerry becomes president, it is the end of the Second Amendment and probably most of the rest of the Bill of Rights. Heck, he's been endorsed by the Brady Bunch and the Million Mo...
