'Kerry scandal woman reveals all to TV station'(Division of "ABC" was investigating)

Evening Standard, ^ | 02/16/04 | James Langton,

The young woman at the centre of the sex scandal allegations against presidential hopeful John Kerry has recorded a tell-all interview for an American TV station.

Reporter Alexandra Polier is said to have given the interview with a major US network before Christmas - but the channel has held back from showing it until it can verify that her claims are true.

It was reported last week that the TV news division of ABC was investigating the 27-year-old's alleged relationship with Senator Kerry, who is said to have pestered her to join his campaign team.

The channel has refused to say if it is working on the story.

I can't tell if this is news or if they're just repeating Drudge's allegations (re ABC)

Probably Diane Sawyer has done the interview..who else//

No wonder Peter Jennings covered the rumor on nightky news.

Peter Jennings covered the rumor? Please elaborate, I've been out of the loop for most of the weekend. Thanks.

I'm waiting for the press to start asking questions and ask F'n Kerry to prove that this not true.

Perhaps he could release all his campaign and senate documents and MAYBE put this all to rest. After said documents are released, maybe he could then release additional evidence to back up those documents. Then maybe he could go on Meet The Press and answer a few more questions and provide more documents.

Something is up, Ms Ketchup face shows it.

Something less than a categorical denial, made ABC News' "World News Tonight."

"The senator was asked if rumors about him and a young woman had any substance. The senator denied it categorically," anchorman Peter Jennings said.

I wonder why similar restraint wasn't exercised with the Bush/"AWOL" allegations?

[Broadside Joe]

Yeah but then she sounds like she's a liberal. If that is the case, that would explain that sour look. :)

see post #9

If the interview will be aired at all, it will be shortly after the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday. This would give John Edwards enough time to possibly cut into Kerry's lead for the Super Tuesday primaries.

I never seen her face that gloom.....

[KQQL]

makes sense...no wonder deanie wants to hang on....

[AntiGuv]

What's to stop Alex Polier from giving an interview to another network?? (I nominate FOX)

[KQQL]

"This is not going to go away," one American friend of Ms Polier said yesterday. "What actually happened is much nastier than is being reported."

[Broadside Joe]

"I never seen her face that gloom....."

Yeah I see what you mean, but did you ever see her standing next to him before? After all, he's holding her hand. :)

[KQQL]

I doubt fox will ever get her interview.


BRIT..Already called the rumor a "HAGWASH" !

[WOSG]

It is absolutely imperative that ABC News tell us all they know truthfully about this...

The people have a right to know!

... isnt that what they would say if some politician was holding out on us?
