The Poliers should give 10% of their payoff to the British papers which ran the story...without their publicity they wouldn't have been able to shake any money loose from the Heinz fortune.

Ah, so you think Theresa Heinz's money is paying off the father?

IF there is a payoff it wouldn't come from Mrs. Heinz. Probably Soros. Some place where it can't be traced.

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...

There was some confusion because some folks were posting a picture from one of Alex's articles. The picture was of the subject of the article, not the author.

The picture of the real Alex, which has been all over the net does compare with the Kerry staffer. No doubt.

As for being the "right gal", one Freeper claimed that the "right gal" was a staffer on the Senate Finance Committee - not Alex. The staffer was supposedly more recent.

A British newspaper on Tuesday defended the accuracy of its story quoting the father of Alexandra Polier, ...

Defended against who???

The father claims the Sun misquoted him. They are defending their reporting against the claims of the father.

The sound of the color of "green" soothes the nerves of many people.
