Kerry: "Nothing there to report" -- Candidate dismisses allegations of scandal
2004-02-13
World Net Daily; EFL
In a television interview this morning, Sen. John Kerry dismissed allegations of infidelity published yesterday by the Drudge Report.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman..."
MSNBC host Don Imus, who has endorsed Kerry for the Democratic presidential nomination, asked the Massachusetts senator if there were anything in the Drudge allegations that should cause him to withdraw support. "There’s nothing to report, nothing to talk about 
 no," said Kerry on the "Imus in the Morning" show.
What else do they expect him to say? "Well, yes, Don, I’ve been such an alley cat, ’Kerrying’ on with my little 20-year old ’tomato,’ that I’m unfit to be president. You should drop me like a live grenade and endorse Kucinich." Real likely, that.
Earlier this week, according to Drudge, Gen. Wesley Clark told a dozen reporters in an off-the-record conversation, "Kerry will implode over an intern issue . . . ." Just two hours after the report was posted, Clark aides said the candidate, who dropped out Wednesday, would endorse Kerry.
"He sent over a coupla babez, and they... ummm... talked me into it."
Drudge said "reporters who witnessed Clark making the stunning comments marvel at the general’s reluctance to later confirm they were spoken – only to later endorse Kerry for the nomination."
"Mary" must have told him to change his story.
Clark’s press secretary Bill Buck refused to comment on the allegations. "We do not respond to right-wing Internet postings in any way, shape or form," he said.
"But we do post at Democratic Underground pretty regularly."
Meanwhile, the London Telegraph said diehard Dean supporters exulted at the news on Internet forums, where there has been considerable bitterness about what they perceive as the media’s destruction of their candidate. The Kerry campaign Internet forum, in contrast, was seething with anger over "Republican dirty tricks."

#9  Dave, I quite agree. Let's hope that Kerry keeps lying and keeps running.
He's a wonderful (terrible) candidate to run against President Bush.
An intern will be the least of his problems! Talk about baggage!
He has about 37 (used) Louis Vuitton steamer trunks full.

#7   "Republican dirty tricks." ?
I just did not know that Chris Lehane was a Republican. Lehane is Hill&Bill's plant in this campaign.

#6  Jeannie - I'm sure she and Jane discuss what's good for the little people over $400 lunches.

Dave - you know, I have to agree. Kerry's no Clinton and times have changed since 9-11. Dems are still operating on a 60's mindset. I guess I still hope Kerry gets it (if Dean can't pull it off).

#5  This is really unfortunate. For the Republicans, Kerry would have made at least as good a target in the general election as Dean, with far more ideological baggage to root around in.

#4  B, the only thing I wonder is why they just don't admit they're Commies or Marxists! ('Course they love $$$)
Ms. Heinz-Kerry has no problem with all those millions made off of the capitalistic sale of ketchup and pickles.
Kerry's so obviously a lying scumbag--about our military in Vietnam, about his Botox, about his Senate votes, about his 20 year-old concubines, too.

#3  hmm...it's not like lots of people didn't know about this already. The blogosphere is reporting that this is one reason why Al Gore didn't pick him for VP in 2000.

We know that Clark already about this before he dropped out as he alluded to it last week - it's curious that he didn't attempt to float this before he dropped out. And why did his support of Kerry come on the same day.

I think the Dems think that they can fill the airwaves 24/7 with Kerry's infidelity and keep the issues off of his anti-war leanings and the rest of his dismal history, by constantly deflecting to this slop instead.

Frontpage has a great article today on Teresa-Heinz's funding of anti-American subversive groups.

Sometimes when you look at the connections between the Democrats and the ol' communist party types, and their love of Fidel and all things Anti-American, you really have to wonder sometimes.
