How are the FReepers and ditto-heads taking the Kerry affair refutation?

[FlashHarry]

I haven't the stomach to wade in those cesspools. Anyone taken the pulse of the rabid right on this (now-dead) issue?

2. A mere refutation will not be enough

3. They've donned the tinfoil helmets, talking weirdest conspira-scenarios

But here's the one they dare not speak -- it's mine. I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Drudge, RNC Chair Ed Gillespie, Karl "Röverer" Rove and all the credulous FReepers got PUNK'D by some people in the Kerry and Clark campaigns and the family of an AP reporter -- perhaps even to shake a few fascist "elves" out of the "shrub." After all, the best way to fight a smear is for it not to be true -- so you can smear it all over the messengers.

By the way: congratulations to Matt "Egg Boy" Drudge on hitting the Trifecta:

1) Sidney Blumenthal Beats His Wife... er.. Never Should've Listened to John Fund
2) Clinton Love Child Exposed.. uh... Never Mind
3) John Kerry's Affair With an Intern... um... Hold It... Developing Soft... Make That an AP Reporter.. er... uh... aw sh!t...

5. I just got a email from my freeper brother

He is certain thatHillary is behind it all in order to 'save' the party. the fact that both principals deny it is 'par for the course.
