What I find fascinating is to look at the quotes attributed to Ms Polier's
father as time has passed:
********************
Mr. Polier 2/14
"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."

Mr. Polier 2/16
"We have spoken to our daughter and the allegations that have been made
regarding her are completely false and unsubstantiated...We appreciate the
way Senator Kerry has handled the situation, and intend on voting for him
for president of the United States."
***************************


What happened between Saturday and Monday??

What happened was a gross public distortion of the parents' remarks, to the
detriment of their daughter and to Kerry, which the parents presumably
regretted. But there's no inconsistency between the two statements. Lots
of voters consider all mainstream politicians to be sleazeballs, but will
still vote for the best of the lot.

The parents in fact denied any affair from the outset. They did say that
Kerry invited Ms. Polier *to join his campaign*, and the sleazier tabloids
quoted snippets out of context to make it sound like the parents had
knowledge of some sexual proposition. The trickery was obvious upon careful
reading, but the tabloids are (to put it charitably) not aimed at careful
readers.
