"No time for affair with Kerry"....
<http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,8693388%255E2703,00.html>

"SHE has the perkiness of a cheerleader and the ambition of a Hollywood starlet, but it's hard to believe Alexandra Polier ever had an affair with US Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry.

For one thing, at the time my former journalism school classmate was supposed to be sharing intimate moments with the senator, she was working up to 80 hours a week on student assignments and dating one of our classmates.

If she had time to manage an affair as well, that would have made her one hell of an overachiever."


I think this article really casts heavy doubt on the Rovian attempt to smear Kerry.

JMHO.

3. sez something about DU that this dropped so quickly
it's no fun not keeping the smear alive. It doesn't drag Kerry down so why bother?

4. There's ALWAYS time for sex, and journalism school isn't like law school.
If you're a fast writer, you have time.

5. Here's how I think this situation will unfurl
I believe there's nothing to it and the woman will come forward to say so. The impetus for her coming forward will be when bush* co uses this as a direct smear on Kerry. It will give Kerry the ability to counter with "See bush* is afraid to talk about the issues and can only speak of meaningless smears." Pow right in the kisser!

6. You folks
better hope there is no "there" there. Enough said. It's not like politicians aren't known for this sort of behavior. If there is any truth to the sotry at all, it will have legs, regardless of whether or not we think it should.
