Will the Floodgates Open Now? Kerry Goes on Record About Intern
Don Imus becomes the first major media figure to ask Kerry about "this report on the internet about an intern": Kerry confirms that he knows about the report. Imus denigrates the story even as he asks about it: "There's probably nothing to it. . ." Kerry responds emphatically, "There's nothing to report, there's nothing to talk about, I'm not going to talk about it," adding, "The answer is no." (There wasn't really a question, but hey.) Later, Imus muses that Kerry is "not a fool" and would not have denied it if it was true. Because no intelligent man has ever denied rumors of an affair. Ever.
