LONDON (AP) — A British newspaper on Tuesday defended the accuracy of its story quoting the father of Alexandra Polier, the woman who has been the subject of rumors linking her to Sen. John Kerry.
The unsubstantiated rumors arose on the Internet last week, saying that Polier, a 27-year-old freelance journalist, had an affair with the front-running Democratic presidential candidate. Both she and Kerry have denied the allegation.
On Friday, The Sun tabloid quoted Polier's father, Terry, as being harshly critical of Kerry.
In statements released to The Associated Press on Monday, Terry Polier, of Malvern, Pa., said that he had been misquoted by the Sun and, in fact, would be voting for Kerry for president.
A spokeswoman for the Sun, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Tuesday that the paper stood by its story.
Alexandra Polier once worked for the AP as an editorial assistant in New York. She currently is in Kenya.

Yes, but he's a sleazeball who has avoided Arkanicide; or in this case Kennedycide.

The girl in front left is the one who now claims she did't have an affair with Kerry.

Where did you find that photo of Ms. Polier? Is that photo a group picture from a "support Kerry" group or Kerry staff meeting?
Polier's flip flop is classic right out of the Clinton Bimbo paradigm. But Pelicano is in prison right now.

A British newspaper on Tuesday defended the accuracy of its story quoting the father of Alexandra Polier, ...Defended against who???
To: jackbill
Depending on the media source, there is one name (Alex Polier) but there are two ages (24 and 27) and two pictures. One of them remarkably similar to the girl you pointed out, in the lower left of the "women in fundraising" pic from the Kerry website. The UK papers are using a picture of a different girl.
Makes one wonder whether this might be a case of mistaken identity. The Alex Polier in Africa may not be the right gal...

I hope the Sun stays on the story. If there is one bimbo then there are more.
