It Doesn't Add Up
I don't know what Wesley Clark said but Drudge claims that "[i]n 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.]" As I write this, Sean Hannity is treating this allegation as an established fact.
If Clark believed that the frontrunner would implode and said this, why did he drop out of the race? Also, why would Clark be planning to endorse Kerry if he thought Kerry was dead meat?
UPDATE: According to Drudge, Clark denied mentioning an intern. He just said it on Hannity's radio show. Hannity suspects that the Clintons are behind the alleged leak. Drudge just claimed that there is a tape of an interview the alleged woman had with a reporter before she allegedly left the country.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: I was right; TNR's Ryan Lizza debunks Drudge's claim about Clark.
