1. holy chit? really?

I thought it would float around the INTERNET and disappear.

2. yep...

...taking calls on two lines:

Is it News? Yes or No...

3. The Roll Call guy

had the Kerry "affair" as his LEAD story this morning and now they are spending the first 30-45 minutes of Washington Journal taking phone calls about it. The story has erupted in major newspapers and no doubt will hit the cable news. Oh boy....here we go.

9. Here we go again......

Another sex story. This just distracts from the real issues. Kerry needs to just come clean as fast as he can. We finally have Democratic Party momentum ........This is a waste of valuable time and energy.


I'm not going to defend this crap because there is precedence for Kerry to of followed. Taking such a risk is just an ego trip that I won't run interference for this time.

10. Kerry's coming clean won't help; he's checkmated.

If he admits to an affair and comes clean, he'll trigger the "Oh no,
another Clinton wannabee who'll bring us scandal after scandal"
reaction and Democrats will run screaming from his candidacy. They
understand now just how inefective and emasculated a Democratic
President would be under constant pressure from the Republican
Smear Machine.

If he denies the affair, the Vast Republican Smear Machine will simply
keep bringing THIS ONE up again and again, aiming towards a grand climax
somewhere around Monday, Novermber 1st, 2004.

Kerry is toast, either now or on Election Day (and the Democrats still
get to choose which of those two options they'd prefer).

11. Is that a prediction or is this what you are hoping for? n/t

[Atlant]

12. It is my honest analysis of the situation. (NT)

4. you can tell which of the callers go to drudge on a regular basis n/t

[w13rd0]

5. Lot of callers...

...calling in saying that issues should be the news, not this crap. Of course, there are just as many calling in to mouth spastic GOP talking points, and some more reasonable arguments.

[maddezmom]

6. CSPAN is going to tape Kerry on Imus

and play it later in the day.

[w13rd0]

7. "I don't care if the police caught Kerry in the bedroom with a girl"...

...haha, and the follow up caller is a moron "Bush has integrity"...

pffft...

now they are gonna talk about Bush and National Guard...

funny stuff this morning. oh boy, a guy who "served with Bush" that had his letter published in the Washington Times, that pinnacle of journalism...

[maddezmom]

8. that lady is still pissed about all the money Starr wasted

investigating bedroom antics of Clinton.
