New Drudge per Craig Crawford: Kerry story pre-2000?

[DeepModem Mom]

FROM CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD: 'Drudge item on Kerry intern issue is something Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time -- it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice -- their conclusion that it wasn't bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn't risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton's personal failings (note: Lehane worked for Gore at the time -- and briefly advised kerry during this campaign). The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it''...

1. do you have a link?

I think I'm going to be ill, if Lehane gave this to drudge.

7. Here's A Barf Bag (nurses are always helpful!) He sure as heck did!

Take it to the bank sweetheart. Lehane's last bitter desperate act when the General's Campaign didn't get traction. Get a hand grenade and toss it into the Kerry Tent.

Someone should spank that child,no,better yet..send him a Drunk Rabbi with his circumcision tools!

Here's your barf bag, look out!:puke:

2. Good... As some DUers are already "eating their own" thanks for

bringing a little sanity to the issue (even if it is from Craig Crawford, who doesn't appear to be any friend of Democrats)

4. General Clark & Chris Lehane= Perfect Together!

Way to go- Generalissimo!

Smells like Little Chrissy Lehane's handiwork from a thousand yards away.
Someone take that young man on a one way ride to be neutered.

Thank you,Christopher.

10. Lehane worked for Kerry too

I think we can all agree that Chris Lehane is an ass...but if he worked for Clark and Clark refused to run with this hideious story, then kudos to Clark.

[OKNancy]

19. Now hold on

I'm am sure Clark had nothing to do with it. And he's out anyway. If it is true Lehane did it, it's his doing only, not Clark's.
And btw, why smear Clark now?

5. Chris Lehane is the source???

"The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it..."

God, I hope so.

[NightNurse]

11. Didn't He Used to Work for Gore?

Talk about your political party treason!?

8. "have assured party leaders they can handle it''

The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it''...

What the heck is this? How about telling what the truth is? Deny the story or admit it!

12. Lincoln once remarked:

"A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, "Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!"

9. I'm shocked, shocked that there is no substance to this story.

:eyes:

15. Here Will, Some Smelling Salts!

Hi Will! Here's a barf bag for you,too!
Look-out!:puke:

13. I just thought of something completely off the wall

Lehane used to work for Kerry, and now the guy he currently works for has dropped out. What would he to gain by leaking this? Unless ... he's doing this to help Kerry by getting it out there now (before Rove has a chance to use it) so he can swat it down. A kind of pre-emptive strike.

14. This Story is CRAP and Will Be Gone in A Day

The only source is Drudge.

[charlie]

16. Kos says he's known about it for weeks

and it's from Kerry's single days between marriages. No story here, if he's right:

22. This is it?

Good grief! If this is the story, who cares? I thought that the Drudge "story" was dealing with more recent allegations.

[lancdem]

24. I hope so

[NewYorkerfromMass]

25. awol smoke screen. He agrees.

so obvious.

[librechik]

17. Haha drudge--Now back to AWOL! We will not be distracted!

he must be pretty desperate to scrape this one up out of the past -- As I recall, wasn't he single or separated at the time?

Relax, people, this will go away.

NOW BACK TO AWOL!!

[OKNancy]

18. Damn I was just going to pin this on Lehane

I read a few posts earlier and then had to leave. I was driving home in my car, and was thinking...and I said..ah ha...I bet it was Lehane, and I rushed to my computer to post it. But what do you know?

20. There is a Boston Herald story from 1998 about Kerry and Harvard student

Well, the feeding frenzy is on.

Abstract (Article Summary)
Question of the day: Who was the statuesque blonde strutting out of Sen. John Kerry's palatial Louisburg Square manse late Monday night when Kerry's wife, heiress Teresa Heinz, was on Nantucket?

We are told she is one Maria Goodman, a 22-year-old Harvard student and former model who, Kerry's people claim, was dropping off a resume.

Both Goodman and Kerry's people insist the encounter was completely innocent. They ...

21. Is Lehane a closet Republican?

He sure does act like one.

[bicentennial_baby]

27. My thoughts exactly

I think Mr. Lehane is rotten through and through

[buff2]

23. SEX,SEX,SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!

The GOPerverts and their obsession over someone else's sex life.....WHAT is it with these people? Why do the repukes always have to use SEX to bring their opponents down? I guess it's because they can't do it on the ISSUES. Good God almighty.....this is going to be one pornographic campaign on the repuke side.....I can see it now. :argh:

26. It ain't over until the fat intern sings!

[farmbo]

28. Depends on the Girl...

If she says she left the country to study Italian pre-renaissance art; that's one thing.

If Kerry paid he hush money and put her up in a "blackmail palace" to buy her silence, the media-- and Teresa Heintz-- will absolutely go nuts.
