Dad: "I think he's a sleazeball"

** By the way, he has now officially denied this on air this morning (Imus in the morning), Should any truth come out of this he is screwed. **

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful John Kerry was branded a “sleazeball” last night by the parents of a young woman he allegedly tried to woo.

Alex Polier, 24, was named as the woman at the centre of a scandal that threatens to damage Democrat Kerry’s bid for the White House.

Her mother Donna claims Kerry, 60 — dubbed the new JFK — once chased Alex to be on his campaign team and was “after her”.

There is no evidence the pair had an affair, but her father Terry, 56, said: “I think he’s a sleazeball. I did kind of wonder if my daughter didn’t get that kind of feeling herself.

“He’s not the sort of guy I would choose to be with my daughter.”

Check out this blog that spoke of the Kerry affair a week before Drudgereport.

The blog is ran by a guy named Cameron Barrett. Interestingly enough, he works for Wesley Clark.

From the slate's article on how justify "sleaze" coverage:

7) It's a story about hypocrisy. Every politician praises the institutions of marriage and the family. Ergo, every politician is a hypocrite when rumored to be having an affair. In the future, all politicians will be forced to praise promiscuity and to say that marriage should be banned not only for gays, but for heterosexuals.

I Googled the AP reporter's byline... she wrote a big thing about uninsured people. Wow. Now the British tabs say she's in Africa and won't comment. Double wow.

Man, I am totally unexcited about John Kerry. He's just a creepy-lookin' Taxachussetts pinko. I'm not impressed that he fought. So did George McGovern, and that man had NO brain.

What a ridiculous country we live in. I'm pretty damn far right, but even I don't care whether people fought in a war or what their sex lives are. What I care about it is whether they'll provide real leadership on the issues that matter to me.
