Kevin: Not sure if you've already investigated, but I did a Whois on the site -- turned up a name of "Lee Whitnum" which yielded no Google hits...and neither did "alphablue llc" - although I didn't try any variations yet. Veddy interesting.

Isn't this coming out just as the challenging of Kerry's war record is picking up steam? I question the timing of this site's sudden popularity...

(Hey, someone had to say it.)

J.

Nice catch, Kevin.

interesting find. I closed the site as soon as I saw she was hocking her book... I bet most people are the same way.

She supports Kerry on her front page. Just because she's written a "tell-all" book, it doesn't mean it's bad. If she had some dirt, I'm Bush would have dug it up by now.

No need for an investigation. Lee Whitnum gave an interview that was printed in Wednesday morning's New York Daily News.

She said that Kerry was such a romantic that he whispered "sweeti nothings" in French while they were in bed - whenever she asked him to do so.

Here is the NYDaily News article...

She's apparently scammed the Boston Herald also. See her interview at:

http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTrack/view.bg?articleid=40469

Whitnum is described as a "former Harvard student said she had a steamy secret 20-month fling with Sen. John Kerry, who cooked for her, whispered to her in French and shared intimate nights with her in his Back Bay bachelor pad."

Besides giving me the heebie-jeebies, the story is packaged a little too pretty for my liking.

I for one couldn't care less about his romantic escapades, except as comic fodder -- imagine him telling her, "Bring. It. On." or, "I was in favor of your having multiple orgasms before I was against it." or, "Last night is seared -- seared into me."

But if Teresa sees this book and decides it's true, that won't be all that's seared -- seared into Kerry.

"Je t'aime... je t'aime... mais, j'ai besoin de l'argent... de beaucoup de l'argent... je t'aime... mais, je cherche une femme riche... tres riche..."

In the Boston Herald article she says their affair was secret and they never went out together. But, last night I swear I saw outside pics of them together at her site. Her site is now "temporarily disabled", so hopefully someone else grabbed a copy.

Also, the interview says she lives in Nevada, and her site gave an LV address to send away for the book. That address looked like a PMB.

The domain is registered using an Australian company and the address given is a POB in Greenwich CT.

THAT WEBSITE HAS BEEN DISABLED. I guess John Kerry/John Edwards lawyers have been quite busy.

She said she hoped [the website] might help publicise her books 'Hedge Fund Mistress' - about a woman who has a relationship with a US state senator - and 'What About the Dead?'

She said that despite 16,000 hits she had "absolutely zero book orders".

"I was so sure that I'd sell some books, buy a house, not have to spend the next 20 years in a windowless cube... living paycheck-to-paycheck. Silly me," she wrote.

I would not at all be surprised if it's an entire "scam" inorder to "scam" the perceptions about scamming...

Err, what I mean, is there's this story on the BBC and then there's the history of the site up, down, up, down, retracted, etc...

and all that just ~soon after~ Kerry's quite overtly well publicized comments about what women he likes and finds "sexy" and the like, and -presto- this thing.

It JUST MAY BE that it's a scam site to appear as a scam site (she's selling her book, after all) that Kerry can and is now using to denounce "books about Kerry" by people who "knew me when"...another very popular book comes to mind here along this theme.

No doubt about it, Kerry is not remaining seamless in his/his campaign's/DNC's use of the media. They are definitely showing their bias, showing very real maneuvers in how they use who and what for.

It's terrible.

Terrible as in, run for President but for Heaven's sake, don't try to rewrite history inorder to secure His and Her Royale With Cheese.

Kevin,
Thanks for the entry!
We've got a real investigation here :)

I think the "Scrapbook" site is back up. I would hope Harvard grads can spell better than she who claims to be an alumnus.

I had actually heard of both her and her first book (not the Kerry-esque one) prior to this...the outside photos were from earth day, which she helped with. That was how I found her in the first place; she was apparently a "concept person" for Earth Day back in '90 or so. Just thought you'd be interested.
