While at E&P I noted that the site that the GOP often uses to float new memes, Drudgereport.com is reporting a rumor about Kerry having some manner of unverified extra-marital affair.

I refuse to read Drudge. He's not a journalist. He's more of an aggrandizing gossip columnist than anything else.

From E&P:
Leonard Downie Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post, acknowledged that his staff had begun to dig deeper into the life and career of Kerry, but said he had not heard anything about an alleged infidelity. "What we're finding, I don't know," he said. "This is the first we are looking into him this way."

This is a non-story until it can be shown otherwise. If E&P had not put up a small piece about it, I wouldn't have known about it.

Of course there could be something here. But until there is hard evidence to support such a charge, it remains an illusory bit of pablum.

Try this for a break from the constant barrage of attacks from the RWEC against Kerry.
