try this shiznit:

it wasn't the clintons who have been masterminding the revelation about the kerry affair.

it was THE KERRY TEAM.

eh? see, they figure it's going to come out anyway, so better to get it out now than closer to the general election. they think that kerry has enough momentum at this point that it won't make a huge difference, and perhaps the news coming out about novak/plame and the continuing bush awol story will diffuse the situation. and if they leak it themselves, they know exactly when the story will hit, and they will be completely prepared to respond to it.

....

okay, i don't know. whatever. i'm a bad conspiracy theorist.
