Latest Drudge per Craig Crawford adds Lehane denial:

[DeepModem Mom]

CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD SENDS TO ASSOCIATES IN E-MAIL: '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.' Crawford reports that Lehane strenuously denies involvement.

1. My question remains...

Why the fuck should I care?

[ShimokitaJer]

4. Why should you care?

Do you even remember what these fucks did to Clinton? You can be unconcerned about Kerry's fidelity or lack thereof, but you better damn well pay attention to damage control if you want to stop this kind of shit.

This story goes nowhere. He had an affair? So did Ronnie.

Lehane's denial.

What the heck is going on?

[Adelante]

3. Could be

Lehane was guilty of it when he worked for Gore and not guilty of it when he worked for Clark. Like they say, developing...

5. Oh please

7. why would Lehane have to shop it around again

seems like it(what that is we still do not know) was a known commodity in 2000.

8. Clark

is said to endorse Kerry soon (according to AP)

6. Can't stand Crawford

It sounds as if he wants to make sure that he was "aware of" the story in case something (anything) rings true...
