I can't believe the way some people have latched on to the Kerry intern scandal from right wing smear sources like a bunch of vultures.
After going through 8 years of just this sort of creating gossip and innuendo, crisis and scandal, and out and out lies by the GOP machine and media against Clinton I would think people wouldn't be so quick to fall for this sort of thing.
If you haven't read Clinton Wars by Sidney Blumenthal, I suggest you do. This is mere childs play compared to the malicious crap Rove and his ilk are capable of doing if they think it will give them the slightest gain.
Bush is in trouble. He's sinking in the polls. He's been in defensive mode for a couple weeks now. He NEEDS a diversion. The timing was PERFECT for a smear campaign.
You want some evidence? I'll give you some real evidence of the kind of vicious disgusting smear tactics Rove is capable.
