Please explain to me how somebody can have presidential aspirations for the future, yet they think they can live any kind of immoral life they'd like in 2001. Apparently this "story" has been common knowledge in some circles for a while. Also, why would Wesley Clark tell 15 reporters about this "off the record" and then some 12 hours later endorse the very guy he's telling a horrid tale about? I don't get it.
It appears, as usual, that morals play so very little, if any, part in todays political arena. :?
I'm sorry, but if I read the same thing about my favorite republican, I'd be wanting more facts and I'd NOT pull the lever in the next election. Character matters!
DITTO! BTW, it has been 6 days since this story broke and not one major media source in the United States has run the "story" yet.
To the vast majority of conservatives, character matters. To the vast majority of liberals, character is unimportant.
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
In the great tradition of FOX News' excellent "Fair and Balanced" reporting , here is the latest denial ( let's hope this is true) that took 4 days. Straight off of FOX NEWS.
Woman Denies Affair With Kerry
Monday, February 16, 2004
NAIROBI, Kenya — A woman who has been the subject of rumors linking her to Sen. John Kerry (search) denied Monday that she ever had an affair with the Democratic presidential candidate.
Breaking her silence four days after the allegations surfaced on the Internet, Alexandra Polier issued a statement to The Associated Press, saying, "I have never had a relationship with Senator Kerry, and the rumors in the press are completely false."

Kerry already has denied reports that he had an extramarital affair. On Monday, his campaign said he would have no further comment.
Polier's statement was released to the AP in Nairobi, where the 27-year-old freelance journalist is visiting the parents of her fiance, Yaron Schwartzman, an Israeli who was raised in Kenya. She previously worked as an editorial assistant for the AP in New York.
"Whoever is spreading these rumors and allegations does not know me," Polier said, appealing to the media to respect her privacy and the privacy of her fiance and his family.
Polier also took issue with reports that referred to her as a former Kerry intern.
"I never interned or worked for John Kerry," she told AP over the phone.
In a separate statement, Polier's parents, Terry and Donna Polier of Malvern, Pa., dismissed the "completely false and unsubstantiated" allegations about their daughter.
"We love and support her 100 percent and these unfounded rumors are hurtful to our entire family," the statement said. "We appreciate the way Senator Kerry has handled the situation, and intend on voting for him for president of the United States."
The statement did not address purported quotes by Polier's parents in the British tabloid The Sun that were harshly critical of Kerry.
Kerry has won 14 of 16 Democratic primaries and caucuses, and is expected to be the Democratic challenger to President Bush in November.
Rumors of a relationship between Kerry and Polier first appeared Thursday on the Internet and were picked up by newspapers in several countries outside the United States. Few U.S. publications printed her name, however.
Asked Friday about the reports, Kerry told reporters: "I just deny it categorically. It's rumor. It's untrue. And that's the last time I intend" to respond to questions about it.
Regarding her silence until now, Polier said, "Because these stories were false, I assumed the media would ignore them. It seems that efforts to peddle these lies continue, so I feel compelled to address them."
By Monday, reporters and photographers were camped outside the Schwartzmans' Nairobi home, and at one point pursued the car of Yaron's mother, Hannah Schwartzman, as she left the walled compound.
Polier and Yaron Schwartzman met at Columbia University. They arrived in Kenya last October.
Polier graduated from Clark University in Worcester, Mass., in 1999. She received her master's in journalism from Columbia in 2003.

From a very reliable source...this is NOT the end of this tale.
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
I would bet it is a few more days , if ever, before CNN hits the press with any of this story. I could be wrong of course.
Damn! Now you tell me - after I've told everyone I know that if you said it, it has to be true. Please move this admission to the restricted forum, so nobody else can read it!!!Originally Posted by TYLERTECHSAS
