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."



Next unsubstantiated rumor please?

 

from Chump:
Was Rick Perry caught in bed with another man?

I heard this rumor Wednesday, which is before the rag you cited. I wasn't going to post anything about it because that's all it is... a rumor. But you never know. If there's anything to it, then I think it will come out.

What I heard was this- Anita was told what was going on and she didn't believe it, of course. So the person who told her (and I have no idea who) said where she could catch them and she did just that. She caught them.

But is it all true?? Maybe, maybe no.

 

sounds like a Shakespeare play.
that Sec of State guy isn't very attractive. Perry could do better.
i wonder who was on top when they got caught?

 

Man, I do not want to know.

(not that there's anything wrong with it!)

 

well, there's this one.

 

Nice comparison. Bush's National Guard roomie (from the relevant thread) has told news reporters that something was definitely up, but that's just as flimsy as this "affair" (sic) thing which has been shot down by all parties directly involved. I guess we all see what we want to see.

 

i guess you're right, this settles it, doesn't it?

 

So is the official position, now that Bush didn't have to report to the Alabama Air National Guard at all, as the article here states?

 

i was commenting on the AWOL story in general, as an "unsubstantiated rumor"

 

Funny how this "story" breaks at about the point when Kerry becomes the frontrunner.

But it'll hit home with those who get their news from FOX and the pulpit. Part of the reason that Bush "won" last time was Clinton's problem with his zipper.

 

Ok but the AWOL unsubstantiated rumor has multiple sources contradictions etc. So with the Bush team coming up with contradictory evidence in their defense against the rumors I was just curious if they now say that he wasn't required to perform any service in Alabama. That is what the article says, and I hadn't heard that before.

 

Woman Denies Affair With Kerry
Feb 16, 2004 2:48 pm US/Eastern


(AP)--A woman who has been the subject of rumors linking her to Sen. John Kerry denied Monday that she ever had an affair with the Democratic presidential candidate.

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."

Kerry already has denied reports that he had an extramarital affair. On Monday, his campaign said he would have no further comment.

Polier's statement was released to the AP in Nairobi, where the 27-year-old freelance journalist is visiting the parents of her fiance, Yaron Schwartzman, an Israeli who was raised in Kenya. She previously worked as an editorial assistant for the AP in New York.

"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.

Polier also took issue with reports that referred to her as a former Kerry intern.

"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."

The statement did not address purported quotes by Polier's parents in the British tabloid The Sun that were harshly critical of Kerry.

Kerry has won 14 of 16 Democratic primaries and caucuses, and is expected to be the Democratic challenger to President Bush in November.

Rumors of a relationship between Kerry and Polier first appeared Thursday on the Internet and were picked up by newspapers in several countries outside the United States. Few U.S. publications printed her name, however.

Asked Friday about the reports, Kerry told reporters: "I just deny it categorically. It's rumor. It's untrue. And that's the last time I intend" to respond to questions about it.

Regarding her silence until now, Polier said, "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."

By Monday, reporters and photographers were camped outside the Schwartzmans' Nairobi home, and at one point pursued the car of Yaron's mother, Hannah Schwartzman, as she left the walled compound.

Polier and Yaron Schwartzman met at Columbia University. They arrived in Kenya last October.

Polier graduated from Clark University in Worcester, Mass., in 1999. She received her master's in journalism from Columbia in 2003.

Man, that Drudge really knows what he's talking about, doesn't he?

 

Drudge's most recent report on this:


XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRI FEB 16, 2004 14:05:38 ET XXXXX

KERRY MYSTERY WOMAN DATED CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHIEF

**Exclusive**

A woman at the center of John Kerry intrigue dated longtime Kerry Finance Director Peter Maroney, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

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 Kerry commotion is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, campaign sources said.

Developing

 

The woman is engaged to be married. Do you really think at this point in her life with a marriage pending, she would be willing to fess up to a relationship with John Forbes Kerry? Let's let the investigations play out on this one. Both sides, John Forbes Kerry and Polier, have many reasons to conceal information.

You liberals would make terrible detectives.

 

What does being engaged have to do with. Do you think you're going to marry a virgin? You won't meet them at Treasures.

 

Yawn.....

1) It puts the woman's lack of character on display -- to knowingly have a relationship with a married man.
2) She will be the focus of media scrutiny the rest of her life
3) If true, then she probably lied about it to her fiancee
4) The groom-to-be would be taking John Forbes Kerry's sloppy seconds -- disgusting.

 

This is so silly. So you can just accuse any married or engaged woman who has worked closely with Kerry and when she denies apply this same reasoning. Unless you provide some real evidence, instead of your school yard psycho analysis of someone you never met, I'm going with her story for now.

 

1.Two people who are both getting married will have pasts. I'm sure they've both dated other people in their past. It wouldn't be a big deal for her to say, 'yes there was something but it's been over for a long time.' It wouldn't be a big deal at least as far as her current fiance is concerned.

2. Thanks to the unsubstantiated rumors that would be true regardless.

3. Why did she 'probably' lie to her fiance about it? Neither I nor my friends lied to our current wives about our dating past.

4. There aren't that many people who date only virgins. It is irrelevant.

 

pgabriel -- once again you prove your inability to follow arguments. It is quite obvious that having a marriage called off is incentive enough to keep quiet and/or deny allegations, if in fact she is guilty of having an affair with John Forbes Kerry. Where you come up with some of your reasoning and 'rebuttals' is a mystery to the educated among us.
