Drudge is reporting that Kerry had an affair with an intern.
So what? What does this have to do with his ability to govern? Absolutely nothing, that's what!
As I said all along, it wasn't the affair; it was lying under oath that made the Lewinski scandal relevant. I couldn't care less what the President does with his cigars, or who he does it with. What's important to me is that I can trust him not to lie to my face. In this case, if the accusations are true, Kerry has three choices. He can lie, tell the truth, or answer with a loud "None of your damn business!" and then never address the issue again. I prefer the third alternative, but if he feels the need to confess, the second works as well. Only if he chooses the first course will I have a problem with it.
Here's hoping that Kerry's primary opponents will take the high ground, and ignore this story completely.
But I wouldn't bet on it.
Yeah, well, it's Matt Drudge. Matt Drudge Is Not News.
