If it wasn't for the Enquirer Jesse Jackson would have been able to keep his bastard a secret.  The mainstream media took several days AFTER the Enquirer published to <very grudgingly> get on board.  The country is a strange place when we have to look to tabloids for facts.

For a time the Enquirer sought recognition for journalistic research and news scoops. In 2001, the Enquirer uncovered that the Rev. Jesse Jackson had an illegitimate child. Salacious details of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair were first made public by the Enquirer. The Enquirer was regarded by some as having the best media coverage of the O.J. Simpson murder trial. For example, when a distinctive footprint from a Bruno Magli shoe was found at the crime scene, Simpson vehemently denied owning such a shoe. The Enquirer, however, dug up a photograph of him with just such a pair.

Not any more.  

If he was in play for VP and this is true, and he was keeping it from them, then it disqualifies him.  To hide something like that to get blindsided later is not a good measure of the morality and ethics we need in the #2 man.

If he had told them and they were stupid enough to think they could keep it under wraps then all of them are disqualified for stupidity to begin with.

There's enough smoke around that even if there isn't a smoking gun I would hope that Edwards was smart enough to let them know and they have checked it out.  Clearly he has been involved with some degree of subterfuge here.

I would hope that JE has told BHO and they are not publicizing and going on to somebody else.  That would be the honorable thing to do.

They might be manure, but if they got their facts wrong on juicy stories like this they would be bankrupt many times over.

I would have to say it is exactly like the story states.  Of course, the pictures are not going to be very flattering and the story will be written for 10 year old gossips.  But it will be 100% factual.

Yep...

Sam Nunn will be Obama's VP pick, IMHO. He'll bring a shit-load of experience & credibility to the ticket...kinda like Cheney did to Bush. This move will help attract some more centrist/conservative Dems & Independents to BHO.

Methinks BHO will likely be elected POTUS this November unless the Repubs can dig up some SERIOUS dirt on him...McCain's campaign is looking more & more inept every day.

I suspect you're right.  

I questioned a Democrat Party operative who was in a position to know about why Edwards wasn't raising more money during the primary.  The answer I got was less than satisfactory and led me to believe there was a problem there.  My assumption was that the problem with his wife was her cancer treatments.  It would seem that he made that tragedy even worse, kind of like some other politicians we know.  Oh well, at least he's out of office.  They'll never learn.

The National Enquirer is about the only remaining investigative newspaper that is left.

All the others just relay any information given to them by the news makers.  That is with the exception of that piece of trash NYT which only gives out information from the libtards.

The National Enquirer is a rag but don't mix them up with the rags that have alien wolfman babies on the cover.

They take their investigative journalism  seriously, (even if the topics aren't serious) to keep from getting sued.

Stories don't make it in until they have been vetted. Sure they're dumb Brittny Spears stories and such but movie stars can afford very good lawyers and they proceed cautiously.

Don't mistake me for a fan or a reader but if it's in the NE , it's been proven.

Edwards should be more concerned about his wife and her terminal cancer (iirc, she's not expected to survive two years) than mistresses, Breck girl haircuts or political office.

If Obama picks Sam Nunn for VP, his hard core liberal base will have a meltdown.  At the same time, a lot of independents will be reassured about an Obama election.  No matter how you slice it, Sam Nunn on the ticket is more bad news for McCain.
