The Kerry scandal? February 13, 2004 BY MICHAEL SNEED SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Here we go again. It's called the sex thing. Dem presidential contender John Kerry's campaign may have been hit broadside. Please, pardon the pun. It's no secret Kerry dated alotta women after his divorce from first wife Julia Thorne in 1988 and before he married Teresa Heinz in 1995. But the first salvo in an alleged sexual drama came via Internet columnist Matt Drudge, author of the "Drudge Report," (which broke the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky mess) who claimed Thursday a Kerry scandal may be erupting. It allegedly involves Kerry's marital infidelity with a woman who once worked for the Associated Press -- and has reportedly fled the country at the prodding of Kerry. True? Well, Sneed is told the real reason former Dem presidential nominee Al Gore did NOT select Kerry as his veepmate was because of allegations of women problems, or marital infidelity involving Kerry's marriage to Heinz, heiress to the Heinz Ketchup fortune, whom he met in 1990. A top source tells Sneed Gore was talking about Kerry's sexual baggage "with a young woman" as recently as late last week! "Kerry was the favorite to be Gore's veep, but they worried a female problem could erupt, so U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman was selected instead," said the source. "In addition to Gore backing Howard Dean for president, because he wanted access to the cadre of Dean youth called the "Deanie babies" when he runs for president again and goes up against Hillary Clinton, Gore chose Dean because he feared the Kerry female mess would rear its ugly head," the source added. Introduced to Kerry by her late husband, Pennsylvania Republican Sen. John Heinz -- who was killed in a plane crash in 1991 -- Teresa Heinz married Kerry after he signed a pre-nup. (Heinz owns five homes in the United States.) The big question: Did Dean opt not to pull out of the race after the Wisconsin primary because he was waiting for the Kerry scandal to erupt? And didn't Kerry linger longer at P.J. Clarke's pub than he should have while chatting it up with a member of the opposite sex during a visit to Chicago a few years back? By the way, Thorne, Kerry's ex-wife, who has since married an architect, has written a book about depression called: You Are Not Alone. Stay tuned. Hmmmm . . . Talk about a no-luck politician. suntimes.com

LOLOL--Newsweek running it Kerry cannot deny it, yet you ignore it...I see you HAVE thrown your panties on Kerry's stage!!! Now the latest edition of Newsweek has revealed that in 2002 the conversion and sale of up to a million dollars of stock in Ingersoll-Rand made between $100,000 and $200,000 after stock rose in price following the company's move to Bermuda. In an article in this week's edition headlined “The Wedge War”, Newsweek looks into the general election campaign and with it how the Kerry camp is faring. It said of his bid: “And oppo (opposition) types will undoubtedly focus on family financial transactions. One such deal involves the conversion and sale in 2002 of up to a million dollars of stock in Ingersoll-Rand. It was a profitable sale - netting from $100,000 to $200,000 - of a company whose balance sheet was boosted by its decision to move its headquarters offshore to Bermuda. “So what? Well, one of Kerry's best applause lines is his pledge to end tax breaks for what he calls ‘Benedict Arnold' firms that move offshore - to places such as Bermuda. theroyalgazette.com
