Last night Matt Drudge asked whether the media will go after John Kerry’s sealed divorce records the way they went after Jack Ryan’s, former Republican candidate for the Illinois Senate.
It’s a mess. Ryan’s ex-wife claimed he took her to sex clubs and tried to pressure her to “perform.” Despite requests from Ryan and his ex-wife to keep the records sealed, the judge opened the documents for nosy reporters. Republicans asked him to quit the race.
Look at the distinction between the two parties. Democrats embraced an habitually lying, philandering, Oval Office-contaminating president and leader of the free world, as Jesse “Action” Jackson, whose woman on the side was pregnant with his baby at the time, “ministered” to him. Meanwhile, Republicans appropriately asked Ryan to step down. With a sexual element involved, the scandal would’ve become too salacious and distracting.
Accuracy in Media poses the question: Is John Kerry now fair game? I’m sure there’s a lot of damaging material in the Kerry divorce records, but if the media pushed for a state senate candidate’s records, why not a presidential candidate’s?
If Kerry wants to get back into the spotlight (no medals this time), the “sealed divorce records” issue would put him there. His campaign platform sure isn’t doing it. What was it again?
