Normally I would pay zero attention to anything that the National Enquirer prints, it being a notoroius vendor of the improbable, scandalous, and generally unbelievable — the love child (so to speak) of Weekly World News and People (though surviving the former and predating the latter).
But we, and the media, were soundly chastised a month or two ago by the GOP and the Conservative Right. The Enquirer had been touting that John Edwards had had an affair, and the mainstream media had not run with it as a fact, choosing to investigate and “sit” on the story until they could verify it. That showed a wild liberal bias by the MSM, the conservatives claimed, lending the Enquirer significant credibility and pointing out such a story of major political figure’s marital infidelity should have been fearlessly and loudly trumpeted to the four winds as soon as it came to light in that trusted journal, the National Enquirer.
Which is why the conservative and GOP response to this story is so freaking funny.
Sorry, Dave, the funny part is trying to figure out the time travel required to produce the Enquirer as a love child of WWN and People.
Wow! What a headline!
