That's the definition of "fidelity". Lack of fidelity is definitely not
a
trait you'd like to see in a President.
Guess who's about to crash and burn because of "fidelity issues"?
Hehehe.

'This won't go away. What happened is much nastier than is being reported'
By Adrian Blomfeld in Nairobi and Andrew Alderson
(Filed: 15/02/2004)
Alex Polier, the twenty-four year old journalist who could end Senator John
Kerry's hopes of becoming the next president of the United States is alleged
to have had a two-year affair with the front-runner for the Democratic
nomination. Last night the rumours were in danger of becoming a full-blown
scandal.
"This is not going to go away," one American friend of Miss Polier said
yesterday. "What actually happened is much nastier than is being reported."
The allegations come at a crucial time for the senator. Polls showed him
leading Mr Bush by 52 per cent to 42 per cent, and aides will be anxious to
see if the apparent scandal affects his standing among voters.
Miss Polier, a former intern who also spent some time in 1998 doing work
experience at the Houses of Parliament in London, is in Kenya staying with
Yaron Schwartzman, her fiance and a member of the country's fashionable
young set. The couple have refused to make any comment on her alleged links
with Senator Kerry, who is married to Teresa Heinz Kerry, an heiress to the
food empire.
Senator Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran dubbed the new JFK, has
vehemently denied any relationship with Miss Polier, and shrugged off
allegations that he had a two-year affair with her from 2001. "I just deny
it categorically. It's rumour. It's untrue. Period," he said.
Mr Kerry, 60, has won 12 out of the 14 Democratic primaries and has looked
all but certain to seal the nomination to take on President George W. Bush
in November's elections.
His aides have blamed a dirty tricks campaign for bringing the allegations
about Miss Polier into the public eye; they first surfaced last week on a
Right-wing internet site, the Drudge Report, which famously first broke the
news of Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Miss Polier's parents, Terry and Donna, from Malvern, Pennsylvania, added
fuel to the fire by claiming that Mr Kerry did pursue their daughter.
"I think he's a sleazeball. I did wonder if she didn't get that feeling
herself," said Mr Polier. "He's not the sort of guy I'd choose to be with my
daughter.
"John Kerry called my daughter and invited her to be on his re-election
committee. She talked to him and decided against it."
The Drudge website also quoted retired Gen Wesley Clark, one of Mr Kerry's
rivals for the nomination, as having told journalists off the record: "Kerry
will implode over an intern issue."
Mr Clark later dropped out of the race and endorsed Mr Kerry.
Miss Polier, a journalist who once worked for Associated Press, is a
graduate of Columbia University, New York. She apparently met the senator as
she was beginning her media career. Miss Polier and her fiance were believed
to be hiding yesterday at the Nairobi home of Mr Schwartzman's parents, who
moved to Kenya from Israel.
She appears to have few friends of her own in Kenya: she has never lived in
the country and makes only occasional visits. "She seemed perfectly nice,
although she was a little cool," said a Schwartzman family friend.
"She didn't seem to be very willing to open up but whether it was because
she was aloof or just shy, I couldn't work out."
