OUT OF AFRICA: KERRY PREPARE RESPONSE TO MEDIA PROBE OF RELATIONSHIP

**Exclusive**

Democratic presidential frontrunner John Kerry is planning a response to a DRUDGE REPORT exclusive which first revealed the frantic behind-the-scenes drama surrounding a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry!

The nature and details of a claimed two-year relationship, beginning in the Spring of 2001, between a young woman and Kerry is at the center of serious investigations at several media outlets.

After being approached by a top news producer, the woman fled to Africa, where she remains, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Unlike the Monica Lewinsky drama, which first played out publicly in this space, with audio tapes, cigar and a dress, the Kerry situation has posed a challange to reporters investigating the claims.

"There is no lawsuit testimony this time [like Clinton with Paula Jones]," a top source said Thursday night. "It is hard to prove."

A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head.

Kerry is scheduled to appear on IMUS IN THE MORNING on Friday. Later he is scheduled to join General Wesley Clark, who, in an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue."

Reporters who witnessed Clark making the stunning comments marvel at the General's reluctance to later confirm they were spoken -- only to later endorse Kerry for the nomination!

"Question: I understand so far it's an affair and the woman left the country, but what are the "shocking" stories beyond that which threaten to make Kerry "implode." So far we see reference to an "intern." Frankly, if the affair is over you need an explanation of why this is a problem that disqualifies him from office. I'm not being jaded about the affair itself, but there needs to be some additionally troubling circumstance that affects him as a public official."

Hey I just remembered that JFKerry was planning a world wide trip, I think it was in April, what I don't remember was if Africa was on the itinerary. I know that Iraq was not.

As the saying goes, if the guy can lie to his wife so he can bang interns, what makes you think he will tell YOU the truth about anything to become president.

Besides that, part of his campaign has to do with honesty and character, at one time presidents were supposed to act like role models, if he wants to say that he is a womanizer, fine, then voters can decide if they want to trust him (something his own wife can't do), and he can say honesty is not a qualification to holding office.

Today was a classic. One for weekend rebroadcast without question.

I'm sure CNN is trying to find a way to get Chris Lehane and Weasley Clark OUT of the picture as well, otherwise it will be too difficult to pin this on the VRWC.

And that's exactly what they will try to do.

oh don't you worry "states" it's all a comin'... in due time my friend, all in due time

GEORGE BUSH - A MAN WHO LOVES HIS WIFE, AND HIS COUNTRY!

How about "George Bush a man who loves his wife and country and not interns and terrorists."

[raloxk]

if all he did was have an affair, he might get away with it. but the fleeing to Africa will sink him. I am just sorry he only has 550 of the 2100 delegates needed for nomination. Edwards will be a much tougher candidate to deal with.
