Yep...blood's flowing in the streets over here. You'd better stay home.
Kerry's got his own intern problem!

I'll stop posting that picture until I get some sort of comfirmation that it's real. I believe it is or they wouldn't have go to the trouble with the headline or the AP title.
MicroBalrog,
I don't think this makes him a horrible person or even ineligible for the Presidency. However, he has been (through his minions) attacking Bush for intensly personal decisions (re Vietnam) and for being untrustworthy in general. It simply shows that Kerry should tread lightly on the character issue.
Also, a lot of people like to think that their President is basically a decent fellow. The last thing they want is another President who can't even manage his own affairs honorably.

Shooter, I notice that the caption seems to be a bit more interested in Kerry than in Jane Fonda. Given the time it is supposed to come from, I would expect the focus to be on Miss Fonda, rather than the relatively unknown John Kerry. Which, to me, tends to suggest that it's bogus. But, you never know--the writer could have been a Kerry fan back then.

That photo came from a poster at freerepublic.com who calls himself Registered and made it's way to Newsmax and then to Vietnam Veterans against Kerry.
It isn't real...and we don't need BS pictures to make our case. This isn't DU.
disclaimer: I thought it was real too, at first.

Just to help out, here's where it was photoshopped from:

Veracity aside, you have to admit, that’s an impressive photo shop job.
I think, that unless Heinz divorces him (and pulls the purse strings) this probably won’t knock him off the path to the general election. I might be wrong, but the ABB crowd (Anyone But Bush) want the strongest candidate possible on the Democratic ticket.
Like it or not, this will be old news in September. Now only if the press would apply the same standards to the National Guard issue.

Multiple sex scandals didn't even slow down Clinton. Even his impeachment was just a speed bump. Why would only one sex scandal have a practical effect on Kerry's campaign prospects? Clinton's affairs didn't save the Republicans in 1992 or 1996, why would they be assumed to break a Democratic candidate now?
First off, Kerry doesn't have near the Teflon that Clinton had. Second, Dubya, for all his faults, is a better campaigner than either his father or Dole.
I would also hazard a guess that rank and file Democrats have too much fatigue from defending BC's zipper antics to go through it again for someone as non-exciting as Kerry when they still have time to nominate someone without that particular foible.

Do you have proof of Nixon and Washington?
All the accusations of Jefferson supposedly sleeping with Sally Hamings were during the 44 years he lived after his wife died.

Thanks. Usually Registered labels his pictures or they're humerous. I won't post that picture again.
Affairs are indicative of a lack of control , morality , and judgement.
As stated, Mr Gingrich stepped down...as did his original successor whose name escapes me.
Mr Clinton did not...lied like a rug until cornered, and didn't act terribly remorseful either.
Anyone that doesn't see the difference and double standard is blinded by their party allegiance.
I heard another rumor that if Dean doesn't get the Dem Nomination he may run on another ticket.......
That would be outstanding...split the liberals!

You have no idea - I'm a Democrat, and I'm telling you in my area Democrats are mobilized in a way I've never seen them before. I'm hearing the same thing across the country. The anger at Bush (which I do not share) has gotten a lot of people fired up.
At the same time Bush is antagonizing his base with the immigrant amnesty proposal, runaway spending, and AWB renewal. I've heard local Republican party leaders say they're staying home in the General Election. They're just fed up.
Bush has mobilized the opposition and demobilized his political base.
I'm telling you Republicans: your man is in trouble. Big trouble. And it's his own fault, not the media's.

John Kerry is a BONESMAN
Joihn Kerry is a Yale grad, and belongs to the SAME secret society as the Bushes: Skull and Bones.
There isn't much talk about this, but there should be:
Kerry looks to me like a continuation of the Clinton/Bush series - just another front man for the same old show.

A quote (paraphrased) from J.C. Watts during the impeachment scandal
"Character is measured by what you do when no one is looking"
Character is a huge prerequisite for holding the most powerful office in the world. It can be subjective. However, if this is true, it will cause massive damage. Americans tend to be socially conservative and attempt to be moral. Infidelity is over and above the aggregate theshold.
Now, if he comes clean and has an understanding wife, it may blunt the impact.
Carter was a horrible Executive, but no one can question his morals or character. Reagan also had upstanding morals and character. As did GWHB. Americans do value morality in their leading man.
Remember, Kerry is not the President (ala Klinton), but the man who would be President. The system has time to wash him out.

Mark--
So are you telling me that Democrats, who may be fired up, are actually all fired up for Kerry? I thought the prevailing sentiment on your end of the spectrum was "Anybody But Bush," correct? That anger at Bush doesn't necessarily materialize into happy supporters of another Captain Happypants carrying the Jackass banner.
Between Kerry's corporate honoraria, his votes for many of Bush's policies, and other non-progressive "sins," I'd expect 50/50 odds of a third party candidacy from the left as I would an outright Republican landslide if the hottest topic this summer is how many notches are in Kerry's bedpost of late. Clinton fatigue was real, and the enthusiam for Kerry in the Democratic base is pretty obviously shallow.
Me on the other hand, won't have another viable choice but Bush. I will never vote for anyone with a 100% score from the Bradys, (let alone ANYONE from Massachusetts).

Can't Find The Story
i checked the most heavily pro-Bush news outlet (FOX news) and could not find the story about Kerry and an intern. ABC news does not have it. Anybody have a link to a reputable news service that has run the story?
