What does Teresa do if the infidelity story is true?

[ringmastery]

She's not a Hillary Clinton type that stands by her man.

I could see her holding a tv press conference speaking frankly about the infidelity and embarrassing Kerry to no end. She may even divorce him over it.

That would probably kill his campaign. I think it all depends on what Teresa does. Does she stand by her man or go for the jugular?

[meegbear]

1. I think she'll hold her ground ...

If this is true, she's probably known about it for a while; and considering she wouldn't become a pauper if she divorced him, I don't see him leaving.

[ShimokitaJer]

2. cry in her teacups? -nt-

[joshcryer]

19. ouch.

damn. heh, that was funny... almost snorted pepsi everywhere...

[Fleshdancer]

3. I wouldn't want to be on her shit list, that's for sure.

I don't know what she would do if it's true, but if I were Kerry, I wouldn't want to find out.

4. (Insert obvious "Ketchup flying" jokes here) (NT)

[StopTheMorans]

5. is there any way that we can stop spamming GD

with allegations from Drudge, even before DRUDGE himself has any details? how many times has he been wrong? this is ridiculous, people need to chill out and wait for the dust to settle a bit IMHO...

[jackstraw45]

20. AMEN to that...

Seems that Drudge has already won.

Later we'll be reading things that start "Rush said ___about Kerry" and "Hannity said ____ about the affair" and "Coulter said ____ about the intern."


Some of us come to DU to get AWAY from the repuke lies and spin. Sadly, a lot of it gets carried here, thus giving those wackos legitimacy.

6. She is Portuguese...

She will shoot his balls off.

She hasn't yet, which means that there is not substance to the Sludge story.

[Atlant]

14. How do you know she hasn't?

Some of his votes in the Senate might be suggestive...

7. Grind him up and mix him in with the Heinz 57?

That's what I'd do if my succubus cheated on me.

[ugarte]

8. Kerry's crazy if he hadn't revealed EVERYTHING to her

and getting her OK before running for President.

[Freddie Stubbs]

12. Yes, but Gary Hart seemed like a bright guy too

Until he dared the press to follow him.

[DemNoir]

9. She strikes me as

Someone who would have zero tolerance for this, she has way to much self esteem. I see divorce papers filed within a week.

[patricia92243]

10. To be the First Lady, she see no evil, speak no evil, etc,

[DuctapeFatwa]

11. Just have his things sent to his office, and change the locks

Politics being what it is, she should probably take a VERY quiet trip, confiding only in a close family member or lifelong friend as to her whereabouts.

She does not strike me as the kind of woman who has a lot of interest in discussing her personal life with the news media.

[BringEmOn]

13. Her first S&B husband's plane fell out of the sky

[JasonBerry]

15. Anybody read the TIME profile?

There was a reference to her not EVER putting up with that. Let's HOPE this story is not true.

[Brian Sweat]

16. My guess is that 30+ years ago, Kerry had an affair with an intern

while he himself was a low level staffer or something.

[Fleshdancer]

17. and when he wasn't married. n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

21. Report is "recent" - if true, what the hell was Kerry thinking?

Why can't these men control themselves once they decide to run for President? This is an upside-downside issue. Again -- if true -- was an affair worth dragging our party through another Bill Clinton nightmare, possibly losing the Presidency for us, and marginalizing one's own long and distinguished political career? If true, it's not a red-state moral issue to me, but an issue of judgment and stupidity.

[Fleshdancer]

23. actually, the allegation is recent, not neccessarily the act (if true)

eom

[formernaderite]

25. It's a men in power thing...

...every boss/owner/president, and I mean every top honcho I've ever worked has had infidelity problems. Okay, probably alot of men do, but there's something about people who want their ego stroked. Kerry has a wife who's obviously in do way indebted to him...she may not have any desire to stroke his rather large ego. An underling or intern is the perfect victim for psychological stroking.
One of the reasons I love Dean and his wife, they truly have an equal marriage.

[Snivi Yllom]

18. cut his balls off, take her money and leave

That's what.

[Atlant]

22. Too late!

> cut his balls off,

Too late! Look at his votes in the Senate!

[dawn]

24. Whatever she wants...

I really don't care.

Who knows, maybe she has some skeletons in her closet, too?

[Moderator]

26. Locking.
