Kerry 'ex-flame' in web backlash

BBC UK Edition

A woman who claims to be an old flame of US presidential hopeful John Kerry says she plans to take down details of their relationship she put on the web.

Lee Whitnum, an aspiring novelist writing under the surname Roystone, said she had received 500 hate e-mails from Democrats and Republicans.

She said she had hoped it might help her sell her novels, but realised it was an "experiment that did not work". ..

Ms Whitnum says she had a 20-month romance in the early 1990s, when Mr Kerry was a single man. ..

She said that despite 16,000 hits she had "absolutely zero book orders". ..

Why not send it to all media outlets?

"August 20, 2004. The site was down yesterday but then I was
horrified to learn that it's been copied so much that it doesn't even
matter at this point. People have actually offered to buy the site.
Isn't that rediculous? I don't want to be imitated so, I'm back up.
I've gotten 1,500 emails (mainly hate mail) and they are still
arriving even though I don't have a contact page. I've turned
down many interviews from major news TV shows. Thanks but I
can't. Please check back (if you are still interested in me or the
book) after November 2. I can't believe this has gotten this crazy.
I'm not sure what to do. I guess lay low until the election."

edit: But the John Kerry Scrapbook is empty.

Goddam profiteers.
