Matt Drudge is proven by the NY Daily news to be a liar.
The NY Daily news has now confirmed that Kerry DID NOT have an affair with an intern. In fact according to the Daily news, this woman never even worked for Kerry. The reason she moved to Africa in because he fiancee lives in Kenya. Once again Matt Drudge has proven himself to be a moronic, goofy looking, GOP "butt kisser", who couldn't get a story right to save his life. This was obviously a lame attempt by Drudge to save George Bush, who has been getting stomped on in the polls by John Kerry. Unfortunately for Drudge, no matter what he and his RNC friends puul out of thier butts against Kerry won't matter. In November Kerry will be in the White House and Bush will be in the unemployment line...which is where he has sent so many other Americans.

1. Welcome, and you're right--Drudge gets his marching orders from
the RNC--wonder if he'll be pissed that they gave him something wihtout a shred of evidence this time.

7. I guarantee you that Drudge couldn't care less that this story was fake
the entire intent was revealed by Rush yesterday when he complained that the story got virtually no mainstream press until the story was debunked. Apparently they had planned on sliming Kerry regardless of the truth because, if it was later debunked, they know people would not remember that it was debunked, but only that he had an affair. THat would have provided the fuel to keep the affair thing going until November regardless of the truth.

They're very good at this type thing.

10. Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them - Page 3
Yes, now Rush can complain of the "liberal bias" of the media.

I've posted this several times, but it is just perfect analysis of what is going on w this story. . .

Franken re Fox News Washington Times, New York Post, Editorial pages of WSJ,Talk Radio:

"The members of the right-wing media . . .employ a tried-and-true methodology. First, they concoct an inflammatory story that serves their political goals. . .They repeat it. . .They embellish it. . .They try to push it into the mainstream media. All too often they suceed. . .Occasionally, they fail. . .But even thier failures serve their agenda, as evidence of liberal bias. Win-win. You got to admit. It's a good racket."

9. Alleged.
I'll believe it when I see it.

I could easily say, "Oh, hey, I have a tape of Bush having sex with my sister."

First off, I don't have a sister. Secondly, if I did I know she would have MUCH better taste than to sleep with Bush (unless, naturally, she's a lesbian...)

16. Ah, hope springs eternal.
There are people on this board who are willing to believe ANYTHING about a candidate other than their own; no matter which mud-slinging, non-credible, goofy-hat-wearing, right-wing asswipe throws it out there.

8. Look, I've explained this a number of times already
I'm not so much a liar, as a lazy incompetent jerk off. Sure, sure, Unkie Dick and Big Cousin Karl pay my salary and I'll print whatever they tell me to, but it's not like I like to lie. I'm just too damned lazy to spend my very important time doing things like checking facts.

So, please, friends, don't give me so much credit. I'm just a shill, and a poor one at that.

God Bless,
Matt

15. Ah, Ann...
Have you ever had one of those dreams where everything you want is right before you, yet just out of reach? Such is my fate with Ann.

She enjoys berating me and beating me senseless. I'm not smart enough to realize that she's abusive, so I keep coming back for more. I know she just does it because she loves me though. I've just got to try harder to be better to her. That'll make her love me.

Sincerely,
Matt
