The official **KERRY IS TOAST** thread.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

OAO, 1. the affair is alleged, not confirmed. Only Matt Drudge and the UK tabloids have seriously jumped all over this.

2. Matt Drudge is a proponent of his own privacy. As am I. He should grant Senator Kerry the same bebefit of the doubt, because despite the personal flaws of President Clinton, American voters showed that they were sophisticated enough to laugh at him and still vote for him.

3. Having affairs is wrong. Sleeping with interns is wrong. Neither have been proven yet, nor are they uncommon in DC culture. Young women get hit on, seduced, and sexually harassed by men who are miles away from their families all the time. The sophisticated question you should be asking is does this have any bearing on how good a president John Kerry could be, or is this simply a smear campaign, coming from politicians who have undoubtedly either A. cheated on their own wives, or B. turned a blind eye on numerous occassions when someone else did it....?
