Here Alex Polier recalls a call to The Sun’s Brian Flynn, who was the first to print her name in the Kerry/intern fake scandal:
Afraid I would lose my temper, I asked my editor to call [Brian Flynn] first.“I was calling to ask you who your source was for your story which named Alex Polier as the intern in the Kerry story,” she said.
“Ah, many people have asked me; it was a fantastic source,” he said. “I broke that story to the world, you know,” he added proudly. “But your source was wrong,” she pointed out. He paused, startled. “You’ve just ambushed me,” he cried. “You’ve ambushed me!”
“I think you should speak to Alex,” she said and passed me the phone.
“Hello,” he said, sounding nervous.
“I’d like to talk to you. I’m writing a piece and have some questions.”
“It’s not a good time right now,” he said. “Let’s meet up next week.”
“Why did you quote my mother when she wasn’t even home?” I persisted.
“I really can’t talk about this right now, Alex,” he said.
She later catches up with him at work and at his home.
From Drudge pussying out with a lame, “mistakes were made” type defense, to ABC’s Chris Vlasto foaming at the mouth to smear Kerry- Alex covers it all.
