The Kerry / Intern news search is growing...

It's coming to life...

[Robb]

1. Try to contain your enthusiasm...

...but you're right. Rush is going nuts with the story, which means "normal" media are going to get hammered by the wingnuts to give it time. :eyes:

Interestingly, Rupert Cornwell over at the Independent is giving it virtual ink, as well.

[OutlawCorporatePolls]

2. the longer it takes to get on tv...

... the more proof that this is true:

Media chiefs back Kerry campaign
http://media.guardian.co.uk/city/story/0,7497,1144464,00.html

[janx]

11. Kerry is supposed to appear on Imus tomorrow.

But we have no way of knowing whether or not Imus will raise horndog allegations.

[LostInTheMaise]

23. Imus is now rooting for Kerry

I doubt he will bring it up.

[Skwmom]

3. Drudge is saying there is a tape.

He was on some show (O'Reilly I think but not sure since I don't listen very often).

[AbbeyRoad]

22. Really?

There might be a tape? That could be interesting.

[neoteric lefty]

32. tape?

of what? The questioned infedelity? A new John "paris hilton" Kerry Tape? I'm just playing but I want to know what proof they have on tape? Could be interesting. I am sure Rush and Hannity are having wet dreams tonight after hearing about this accusation.

[Mobius]

35. i so dont want to see kerry doing the nasty

:puke:

[tobius]

4. mainstream media like to wait for drudge

they don't want to be first with this type of story- see Newsweek re: Isikoffs story on clintons intern. They usually know what's up, see- clark quotes on kerrys intern from days ago; but want to wait and report on the "fallout".

[ant]

7. except...

...in this case Drudge's "news" was not so much the alleged affair but the fact that the major outlets were investigating it. Again, Time is supposed to have something about it in the next issue.

By the way, Drudge didn't really break this story - this guy did. He first posted on it on Feb. 6:
http://www.watchblog.com/thirdparty/archives/000780.html

[lancdem]

9. Someone from Time is quoted in the British press

as saying they're not investigating it.

[ant]

10. awesome

Thanks for the info. I've been wondering why, if this isn't true, Time hasn't said something. I'd love to see Drudge fall flat on his face.

Do you have a link by any chance?

[interceptor]

Can't fall on his face

if all he does is post links to other people's work. Hard to be "wrong" if you're just quoting other people all the time with very little analysis...

Still, proof is in the pudding. If all of these networks are confirmed as "looking," then why aren't they stating it? I haven't seen anything yet. This sort of reminds of me of that wild-ass stupid rumor about Clinton and the girl from "Highlander" (the TV series) that never went anywhere...(purported) girl flees the country, (purportedly) unavailable for comment...

[Mobius]

36. Elizabeth gracen

she did flee the country and did have an affair with Clinton but refused to testify in anyway by staying in France, taping the show highlander and subsequently Highlander : the raven. I believe she still lives in Paris with no plans to return. Clinton was gov of AK at the time of the one time incident and it was completely consensual.

[The Magistrate]

12. It Might Be Useful, Ma'am

To have a connection to that statement put up here.

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[Cheswick2.0]

37. I think what they said is that they would not confirm

what they were or were not investigating.

[progressivebydesign]

18. I do believe Drudge has been scooped! N/T

[tobius]

34. didn't the guy who writes that blog work for clark? n/t

[KoKo]

8. Yep, that's the way they do it. Leak to Drudge, sit back and then declare

the public wants to hear more about this story.....and most Americans still don't know about the Drudge connection to Clinton Impeachment.

They just exchange photos of kids with Grandparents and e-mail each other on AOL...Sad, but true.

[bearfartinthewoods]

26. there are at least three people on DU who have known this was

coming for three days. it's like standing on the traintracks and watching the train coming at you.

[oasis]

5. That wad of chewing gum underneath my desk has more legs than this story.

[progressivebydesign]

14. That must be one big old wad of gum..

because the sensationalist media is going to town with this one already. These are the same idiots that made Janet Jackson's breast a big story. They need ratings, and Whitewater and Monica were good for business. Don't think for one moment that the media will ask if they're being fair in all this... I'm having flashbacks to Dean's scream speech, and how it was manipulated. The media isn't in this to change the world, they're in it to make money. Never forget.

[LostInTheMaise]

17. Wishful thinking

I smell a fire down below.

[stickdog]

25. Like Kerry, this story appears to have at least

three hyperactive legs. ;-)

Just a joke, folks. It's Repuke bs, whether or not it's true, AFAIAC.

[janx]

6. What a difference a number of hours makes... n/t

[progressivebydesign]

13. Was her friend, peddling the story, named Linda by any chance?

A tape? OMG. This sounds like the Linda Tripp "friend" thing redoux. The girl supposedly fled to Africa in a hurry after being contacted by a news producer. This wierd story gets wierder by the moment.

[rocktivity]

15. Well, as long we're unearthing candidates' sexual pasts

Maybe it's time to give Bush's sex life a second look, too! Do they honestly think that all they have do is make Kerry look "dirtier" than Bush? Doesn't he realize he can't win this game this time around?


rocknation

[progressivebydesign]

19. Please.. don't make me think of Bush's sex life. I beg you!

:puke:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

24. *

[Robb]

16. This sucks.

There's a guy on freakin' CNN talking about *'s records getting trashcanned, but noooo..... tomorrow we're going to hear about this Drudge nonsense.

Goodbye AWOL, hello Drudge.

:grr:

[HawkerHurricane]

20. Got it in one.

The whole point of this is to bump off the front runner and cover up the lack of WMD's, AWOL, war in Iraq fiasco, etc.

[bigtree]

21. Here's another one!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=323001 :eyes:

[seaglass]

28. lol - first bright spot in my day...n/t

[LostInTheMaise]

29. I've got that recursive feeling again

Let's hope my stack does not overflow!

[peacetalksforall]

27. So Drudge is alive again....and it's sex again....I imagine a film clip

where Drudge stands between a statue of a nude and an animated wax casting of Janet J and Timberlake. He alternately pulls the curtain to the side and Ashcroft covers his eyes in horror but with a little peephole between the fingers to look at the breast on the statue, then when the curtain is pulled away from Janet, Michael Powell covers his eyes, also with a little peephole. Sitting at a table nearby, Falwell, Robertson, Bennett, Rove, and Scaife sit in front of bank of phones and video machines tracking down the Kerry affair, if there is one. Of course, Scaife is also planning a new magazine and checking to see how many people can be purchased to swear the truth.

33. 'Bring it on', get it out there
