THE beauty said to have had a fling with presidential hopeful John Kerry has recorded a bombshell tell-all interview.

Journalist Alex Polier taped a talk with a US TV network at Christmas.

He needs to challenge whichever network this is (probably FAUX) to air it now or get it the hell outta here.

And before anyone screams 'tabloid,' this is the same tabloid that carried all the Pilger stories that told the truth while Bush & his boytoy Tony Blair were lying their asses off.

2. How do you challenge

that which does not exist?

3. Someone's been sitting on this since Christmas?

I don't believe it.

4. The odd part of their story

She wants to tell.
She taped a talk with a US network.
She fled to Kenya on Kerry's suggestion.

One of those 3 doesn't really jibe with the other 2.

22. She fled to Kenya way before the tape. n/t

5. that photo of the 'beauty' is real sad....and that looks like the

very best photo-shopped professional photo they could come up with....

sad, sad...looks like a soaper....

6. If she DOES make an accusation ...

The Kerry needs to press her to produce dates and times. Surely a journalism student would keep a planner or a diary. She should produce written notes by Kerry to demonstrate her veracity.

Otherwise, she is just another Jennifer Flowers.

7. I swear to god, if this turns out to be true, and they break it after...

his nomination, I will spend my entire life spitting at the very thought of John Kerry/

But, I still don't think it is. Sounds to me like British tabloids desperate for a story.

9. Same here...

He better be even more forceful in denying this now. Otherwise (if this is true), he should get out of the race and let John Edwards take over! (granted he should do that anyways ;-) ).

8. If this is true I hope it comes out now

I think the media whores won't escalate the story until Dean and Edwards are gone. But the fact is that we don't know if this is true. And if a network had this tape for a few months, why didn't they play it then?

10. All the "IFs"

IF it's true, holding onto it until after the nomination is settled plays straight into Bush's hands.

IF it's false, Kerry gains more in airing it now because after the convention, he'll need to devote all his resources into going offensive on Bush, not defending himself against sleaze.

12. I think Polier will end up like Juanita Broderick and Wiley

some crazy women trying to capitalize on media whoredom, or someone who's being manipulated by Rove and Drudge.

15. It had BETTER NOT be true

NO ONE has the right to be fucking around with these sort of games, not in this most important election of our lifetimes.

[GodHelpUsAll2]

16. Because if they wait

until everyone else is gone and the nomination is all wrapped up then it is a bomb shell that will distract from GWB's problems and will focus solely on the dem opponent. The RNC may be mean and nasty but they are no fools. They are masters of the art of tearing down.

11. No, Pilger was carried in the Guardian. I believe the "Sun" is Murdoch

Pilger is an Austrailian journalist. I don't think he was carried in the Sun at all. :shrug: It was the Guardian and some US Magazines that picked up his Iraq stories.

[NashVegas]

17. Hmmm

Who am I thinking of then?

Ah. The CNN guy who got canned from MSNBC (?) for telling Iraqis they were gonna kick our asses.

[charlie]

18. Peter Arnett?

He went to The Mirror.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. Pilger's stuff was in The Mirror. The Mirror is left wing, The Sun RW

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. Why is a British tabloid running this? Of what interest is this to Brits?

They can't vote for John Kerry. He's not running for office in the UK. I think this has a lot to do with the UK libel laws with regards to foreign persons. Also, it may be that when it comes out in the US, the excuse can be 'we didn't bring it up, the Brits did'.
Very, very suspicious.

[mmonk]

14. .....well.......

TABLOID! oops, sorry.;-)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

19. Can I scream 'tabloid'? The Sun is a shitrag and always will be.

[corporatewhore]

21. I feel sorry that teresa is being publically humiliated and one of the

most private details of her life are being picked apart by the media and by strangers on the internet
