I officially toss in my vote that «a href="http://www.hedgefundmistress.com/JohnKerryScrapbook.html"»this is bullshit«/a».

«blockquote»«font size="2" face="Courier New,Courier,Monaco"»Hi! I'm Lee Roystone.

I wanted to share with you my John Kerry memorabilia. I can't
believe I still have it! It was all in a box in the attic. It's been a very
long time.

I began dating him when I was a Harvard graduate student and
he was a first term senator. I worked part-time at Earth Day and
he was the Senate sponsor. I met him at the Earth Day press
conference with the American Lung Association. I was in his
world for 20 months. We were both single. For me it was
interesting and significant. «/font»«/blockquote»

There's the nice stinky fat bait, so go ahead and click on the link and give the website a perusal.

Go ahead. I'll wait.





....

I know it's tempting to want to latch on to this. Man, a box full of Kerry Love Bits from an Old Flame. And an Earth Day activist, no less! Prime for blog skewering.

But this is a hoax. Or else this Roystone person is pathologically obsessed with John and the FBI simply hasn't caught up with her. Given that we're in a campaign year, Ockham's Razor says that it's bullshit.

No one talks about their ex this way:

«blockquote»John, gorgeous, and talking
on the phone. Best feature:
His velvet voice. Did you know
he speaks French...«/blockquote»

Get out of here with that silly shit.

Also, if you look at the pictures, you'll notice that there are only three where he appears with "her". Two of which could be a different person from the third. If they are supposed to be examples of "Hey, look how close we were" then do your own comparison:

Her and John.

«img src="http://www.hedgefundmistress.com/images/Chuck_Robb2.jpg" alt="<a href="http://www.hedgefundmistress.com/images/Chuck_Robb2.jpg"></a>" align="bottom"»
Her and Senator Chuck Robb

Who knows? Maybe she was banging them both. Looks like she had a bigger thing for Chuckie, though.

I mean, if pictures are proof of these things.

Everything else in there could have just come from any old aide or low-level campaign worker. It's just random stuff.

Although, I thought it was telling that she made up this whole thing about having pretend names "Michael" and "Katherine", to explain, of course, why this envelope says "Katherine":

But then, why does this one say "Lee"?

But the real nail in the coffin for me was this:

«blockquote»(caption) A note from my Harvard roommate
before I moved to my own place in
Boston. My response was, "Girl,
get me my glass slippers. I've got
a date with the Prince..." I hated
missing John's calls.«/blockquote»

Bullshit! Either this woman is insane (possible, of course, if she really is an Earth Day-ist and writes bad science-fiction), or this is a poorly-thought-out hoax. If it is, I'm not sure if it was politically motivated, but if it was... um... stop. Please? You're making those of us who think John's incapable for The Job look like lunatics.

Also, while I'm at it, would someone «a href="http://spiritist.tripod.com/campaign04/election.htm"»please call this lady«/a» and tell her that we thank Jesus for His thoughts, but at this time, we do not require His endorsement for GW. I'm sure He'll understand that people tend to get a little sketchy when messiahs, folk legends, prostitutes and pop singers start channeling candidate endorsements from the Other Side through fat, looney trailer-trash who post it on badly-formatted websites. Maybe a burning bush or a booming voice would be more effective.

Oh, and while you have Him on the line, would you mind passing along that I really think that Jesus is slacking if he truly doesn't know where the WMD are. I mean, come on. If He can raise the dead, transmogrify and put the whole Kingdom of God in a mustard seed, then how hard is this? If he really wanted to help our country, he'd stop this nonsense and tell us where they are.
