The British Sun is running a story with the photo of the former intern who allegedly claims she had an affair with John Kerry. Her name is Alex Polier and the paper says she is not keeping it a secret and that she says it occurred in 2001.

Now that Kerry has categorically denied the affair, it better turn out to be a tall tale--otherwise, we think he's in trouble. On the other hand, Kerry knows far more about this than we do--and we think he's smart enough not to lie and think he wouldn't be found out--so we're believing Kerry at this juncture that it didn't happen.

Update: Alex Polier's former classmate writes this article saying it is most improbable that Alex and Kerry had an affair. [link via Unfair Witness]

Update: Wait a minute. Wasn't John Kerry battling prostate cancer in 2001? How was he having this hot 2 year affair?

Kerry's father died of prostate cancer. From an August 1, 2002 AP article (available on lexis.com):

Richard J. Kerry, the father of Sen. John Kerry and a former Foreign Service officer, died Saturday of complications from prostate cancer. He was 85.
Kerry began his law career in 1945 after graduating from Harvard Law School, and became an assistant district attorney. In 1949 he moved to Washington to work in the office of the General Counsel for the Navy Department. He joined the State Department two years later, where he served in the Bureau of United Nations Affairs and the Office of Legal Advisor.

He joined the Foreign Service in 1956 and was assigned as executive assistant to Sen. Walter F. George, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Kerry taught at the NATO Defense College in Paris in 1958 before being named Chief of the Political Section of the American Embassy there.

It certainly seems like public service is in Kerry's blood.
