"Gee wiz - what a commotion."

Br'er Drudge links to the site of one of Kerry's former paramours: HedgeFundMistress.com. And, no, it's not Alex Polier. Her name is Lee Roystone, and apparently she accompanied Lurch to Earth Day 1990 or some such and she's selling a fiction book or something.

Apparently the books aren't selling, because this is her latest "blog" entry:

August 18, 2004. Gee wiz - what a commotion. Perhaps
this was a bad idea. No one is even buying any books. So
what is the point? Democrats and Republicans are all
sending me hate mail. I concede defeat. I'm a wimp. This
was a bad idea.

UPDATE: I should have saved off the site, because it's down.

This post seems to think there's something fishy going on here: is she a plant or a scam?

Interviews with her (under her supposedly real name "Lee Whitnum") are here and here.

At the post, I provide the following example of John Kerry's bedside chat: "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..."

Also, as noted, her name doesn't come up in google searches, and, while she claims to live in Nevada, the WHOIS for her site lists an address in Greenwich, CT. Also, 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.

UPDATE 2: Another URL for her site is www.alphabluepublishing.com, but that's "temporarily disabled" too. Also, her business address is given as:

Alpha Blue Publishing
4535 W. Sahara Ave.,
Suite 217
Las Vegas, NV 89102

That appears to be not a PMB, but a mail forwarding service.

UPDATE 3: Her "scrapbook" is even creepier when you look at it sans pictures via google's cache.
