    According to the Drudge Report, the Kerry campaign did some background checks on individuals working on their campaign. The report says Equifax Marketing Services was hired to to find so-called "appendages." Does anyone know anything about this? Do consumers have a right to view whatever appendages exist on us? Where can I read more information about this?

    Here is a link to the story:

    Why are you giving credence to anonymous sources? The Drudge report specializes in rumors and hearsay based on unrevealed sources. Some people try to pass this fluff off as noteworthy and confirmed news items, when in truth, it is only the cackling of so many hens!

    Why would some people treat rumor as fact?

    Guess I'll just take your comments with a grain of salt... or should I say chicken feed?

    Yeah just look at the crap they posted at Drudge about Kerry and his shipping a mistress off to Africa, which turned out to be completely false!

    I wouldn't give much more credit to Drudge than The Onion...

    Okay that goes both ways. What about this vague report that Bush has Bin ladin and is keeping him hidden until election time. They started the story saying it came from a reliable source and ended report with the reliable source denies report. What great journalism, not!!!!!!!!

    you can't really take the Drudge report too seriously... but, the Bush Administration does read it all the time to see what is brewing...

    Drudge was the first to break the Monica Lewinsky story. (Ya know, "that woman" with whom Clinton did not have sexual relations). lol

    Any online source should be double checked of course, but Drudge didn't get where he is today by being an idiot.

    Hmmm.....

    Was it me? I've been saying that one for many months now.

    Of course, I also say it was the overzealous animal rights activist that were responsible for the recent Mad Cow outbreaks (pure outrageous speculation) and that Ralph Nader is being financed by the Republicans to take votes away from the Democrats.

    Maybe Drudge will hire me as an assistant?

    Let's not forget that the Mars Rovers are really in Utah.....

    that Bush served with Distiction at the Battle of Shiloh (ok, it was the 1983 re-enactment, but that's as close to military service as HE ever actually got....)

    that Kerry is really dead and that he was embalmed with such skill that no-one can tell the difference...

    that Vice President Cheney really HAS a brain, and it generates electricity....

    that Ashcroft's membership in the American Nazi Party is paid-up for life,,,,


    C'mon people..... how much political BS are we going to swallow? Whenever a politicial or his apologists are moving their lips you KNOW they are lying....
