Matt Drudge Gets Foot In Mouth Disease With Bogus "Interngate" Story

(2/17/04) Matt Drudge, in a blatant, transparant, and pathetic attempt to discredit John Kerry, repeat his Monica Lewinsky sucess, and solidify his position as the Internet arm of the GOPERNAZI propaganda machine, has instead pulled a boner on the international stage.

Last Friday Drudge floated a totally unfounded and fictitious story that John Kerry had an extramarital affair with a campaign staffer. The exact nature of this alleged relationship mutated a couple of times over the weekend, as did her age and her job description. Matt even personalized the story by "quoting" her father as calling Kerry a "sleezeball" and claiming that she had run (or been sent by Kerry) to Africa to escape reporters' questioning and save his bid for the Democrat nomination.

None of the legitimate media touched the story, but it was picked up and echoed back and forth between the tabloids, who love this kind of crap because they can just make it up as they go along. At one point the story actually changed into a story about what major media would break the story and when they would go on record. I heard one comment that RUSH LIMBAUGH was going with it... like THATwould add credibility!

Drudge finally was exposed as the vicious liar he is when the woman and her parents released the following statement... and he has the chutzpah to put this up on his trash website!

A statement released Monday by Alexandra Polier, who has been the subject of rumors linking her to Sen. John Kerry:

"For the last several days I have seen Internet and tabloid rumors relating to me and Senator John Kerry. Because these stories were false, I assumed the media would ignore them. It seems that efforts to peddle these lies continue, so I feel compelled to address them. I have never had a relationship with Senator Kerry, and the rumors in the press are completely false. Whoever is spreading these rumors and allegations does not know me, but should know the pain they have caused me and my family. I am in Kenya with my fiance visiting his family, and we ask that the press respect our privacy and leave all of us alone."

A statement by Terry and Donna Polier, the parents of Alexandra Polier:

"We have spoken to our daughter and the allegations that have been made regarding her are completely false and unsubstantiated. We love and support her 100 percent and these unfounded rumors are hurtful to our entire family. We appreciate the way Senator Kerry has handled the situation, and intend on voting for him for president of the United States."
