IS THIS THE JOHN EDWARDS SCANDAL we’ve been hearing about? (Via Kaus).
UPDATE: Bill Quick: “Has Clinton minion Ron Burkle finished taking control of the National Enquirer yet?”
ANOTHER UPDATE: “It would be a bigger problem if Edwards had a prayer.” Some people can’t reach the Enquirer story, but I’m seeing it fine. Here’s an excerpt:
The woman linked to Presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal is more than six months pregnant and telling a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her unborn child, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.
Is it true? Hey, it’s the Enquirer — so it’s as reliable as the New York Times! I agree with Kaus that it makes no sense for Hillary to be spreading this story. Obama, on the other hand, would benefit from having Edwards out of the picture, giving him the undiluted anti-Hillary vote.
MORE: Denying everything. And now the story’s down from the Enquirer site. Kaus: “I don’t know why, but you can’t be too paranoid when Ron Burkle might be involved.”
