1. And if you'll recall, the rumor about Sid stuck for a long time
It really hurt his reputation.

Now, you were saying ...?

2. lol
Yes, Drudge is all-powerful - who would have thunk it. If Drudge goes after you it is time to surrender.

Drudge - the all powerful right wing whore

He is a Limbaugh/Savage wanna-be.

6. A powerful right wing whore who hangs out in gay bars.
For me the issue's hypocrisy not homosexuality.

7. Please read The Clinton Wars. The rumor stuck.
There was nothing to laugh about, just as I'm sure Kerry isn't laughing now.

8. I agree, maybe Kerry should offer Drudge the vice-presidency?
That will make sure to get on Drudge's good side.

9. I don't think Drudge even has a good side
We should make him the public relations ambassador in Iraq. He can stroll around in Baghdad and report rumors back to the U.S.

10. Sorry straight shooter.
But even a broken clock's right twice a day.

There are several things that make me skeptical about this story.

First and foremost. John Kerry had surgery for prostate cancer recently. Maybe you're too young to know but one of the side affects of this affliction is erectile dysfunction. How does one have a sexual affair when one can't get it up?

Second, it would not be the first lie the Drudge report made about Kerry. An earlier one said he had fixed up his face with botox injections.

Third, today Wesley Clark endorsed John Kerry. I was elected a delegate for Clark at my state caucus. Why would General Clark endorse a candidate he felt was about to implode?

Fourth, last year former weapons inspector Scott Ritter questioned Bush's claim the Iraq had WMDs prior to the invasion. About the same time a rumor was circulated that Ritter had been busted soliciting sexual favors from a sixteen year old girl. Interestingly enough the rumor also said there was not enough evidence to prosecute him.

Fifth, it's SOP for the BFEE to have a third party smear the opposition while GW and his daddy supposedly stood above it all. Research what Bob Dole and John McCain had said about them respectively when they opposed George Sr and Jr. in the primaries.

Finally, given your low number of posts you're probably some Johnny come lately who favors another candidate and feels good about what Drudge has to say about Kerry. As some recommended reading I suggest you pick up the book "The Demon Haunted World" by the late Carl Sagan and read the chapter "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection."
