When pressed by media outlets in recent week, the Kerry campaign confirmed the relationship, according to top sources. Alex Polier on Monday denied "Internet and tabloid rumors relating to me and Senator John Kerry." Rumors swirling around Polier ignited a behind-the-scenes campaign drama. As first reported in this space, a serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked. TIME magazine's Tim Burger and ABC NEWS have developed intriguing elements to the case, sources reveal. She would joke that she was dating 'the next president of the United States, says a source. Polier's flippant remarks and flirtatious manner, according to friends, fueled the intrigue. In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments. "This guy is going to blow up. Have you seen the NATIONAL ENQUIRER story" [on Kerry's womanizing].

The real significance in that article is that no one believes her. Kerry had prostate cancer and couldn't have sex if he wanted to since then. Meanwhile the gig is up, from AP: Breaking her silence four days after the allegations surfaced on the Internet, Alexandra Polier issued a statement to The Associated Press, saying, "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," Polier said, appealing to the media to respect her privacy and the privacy of her fiance and his family. "I never interned or worked for John Kerry," she told AP over the phone. In a separate statement, Polier's parents, Terry and Donna Polier of Malvern, Pa., dismissed the "completely false and unsubstantiated" allegations about their daughter. "We love and support her 100 percent and these unfounded rumors are hurtful to our entire family," the statement said. "We appreciate the way Senator Kerry has handled the situation, and intend on voting for him for president of the United States." Republicans spread false stories, break into computers, expose the identity of CIA operatives and amazingly claim to be the party of honor and integrity. Steve Dietrich
