John F. Kerry - pundit watch

With the Drudge report regarding John F. Kerry and his alleged affair with an intern making the news (Matt Drudge was also the news source that broke the Clinton/Lewinsky story), it's fun to see the pundits come out with their views and opinions. Even more fun when very little actual fact has been released. A quick Google News search turns up lots of reading enjoyment: Mystery of Kerry and the Intern (here) Will Teresa Heinz Mimic Hillary (here) Don't Jump Too Soon on Kerry Hit, Interns Only Enhance Democrat Resumes (here) Leheinious Fingerprints on Kerry Story? (here) This last one refers to Chris Lehane (Clarks press secy) who worked for Gore and briefly advised Kerry during this campaign. It's also fun to note that the Blogosphere announced it several days before the Drudge Report. Glen notes at Instapundit that the Watch Blog had this February 6th article: bq. Rumor has it that John Kerry (D) is going to be outed by Time Magazine next week for having an affair with a 20 year old woman who remains unknown. The affair supposedly took place intermittently right up to Kerry's Fall 2002 announcement of candidacy. At present, this is nothing more than a rumor; and after such sordid tactics as the "push polling" that took place in South Carolina in the 2000 elections, can such rumors be credible during campaign cycles? Could this create a Democratic backlash against Republicans for perceived scandalmongering? More from them here Joshua Clayborn has more here Posted by DaveH at February 12, 2004 4:27 PM
