The only time I'd ever heard the name Chris Lehane before was after the Iowa caucuses when I was watching Chris Matthews grill Lehane on whether he'd been fired from the Kerry campaign and whether that was his real motive for saying [whatever negative thing he was talking about, not an affair].
Not that this makes it any more or less likely that this stuff is true, it just was funny to see the guy squirm. He reminded me of that total weirdo Sam guy from the Apprentice.
