National Enquirer ...

Globe ...

http://m.newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-sheffield/2008/08/15/national-enquirer-instructed-not-investigate-hillary-clinton

Surprised that the Boca-based National Enquirer went all out to nail ex-presidential wannabe John Edwards?

Don’t be.

The American Media Inc. tabloid first revealed during October’s tough Democratic primary campaign that Edwards had an affair with campaign worker Rielle Hunter. At least two characters close to the company couldn’t have been happier that the dirty laundry was being aired.

It so happens that both have ties to Hillary Clinton, who was then emerging as a front-runner, with Edwards close behind.

The first is Roger Altman. He’s a New York businessman whose investment firm, Evercore Partners, poured $767 million into AMI in 1999. Until four years earlier, he had been assistant Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton. He also was an economic adviser on Hillary’s presidential campaign.

The other: Ron Burkle, a Los Angeles grocery store mogul who’s a major fund-raiser for the Clintons. Burkle’s main gig last year: Trying to buy AMI.

Said a former Enquirer honcho who keeps in touch with the current staff: “All I know is that the troops at the Enquirer were instructed not to do any anti-Hillary Clinton stories during the campaign.”

The tab’s editor, David Perel, wouldn’t comment on internal edicts and denied that the Enquirer was manipulated.

True or not, I couldn’t care less. Millions will see it and buy it when they go to the grocery store and some people actually believe every word written in the Globe. Alinsky rule#5, read it, learn it, use it because the other side sure does.

Ah. The Globe. I guess that is at least a more reliable source for news than the NY Times.

He lies 100% of the time about every single thing,

But he’s telling the God’s Honest Truth about his birth certificate.

Mhmm....

It would be hilarious if this turned out to be his administration’s “Blue Dress” story.

This is terrible news !

I can’t believe Barry Manilow has a heart condition. I just saw him the other night on the Emmys.

Well that just tears it for me.

I have a good mind to report The Globe to Attackwatch.com.

I think each set of liberal sleaze bags should investigate each other. Bet Hillary's side wins!

Obama's 1970s Social Security application: I wish that the GLOBE and the ENQUIRER could get a copy of President Obama's 1970s original Social Security application.

My point is this: Why does President Obama's Social Security number's first three digits---042---point to Connecticut, when teenager Obama was living in Hawaii at the time he supposedly applied for his Social Security card?

President Obama obviously isn't talking, and I read that when Obama's number was run through E-verify, it was rejected.

Obama supporters claim that it was simply a Social Security clerical error that gave Hawaii teenager Obama a Connecticut number instead of a Hawaii number, because, according to Obama defenders, Social Security makes such clerical errors all the time.

Yes, if the GLOBE and the ENQUIRER could ever get a copy of President Obama's Social Security 1970s application, it could be the smoking gun that proves that President Obama is a liar and a fraud when it comes to telling us about his background and his past.

Is the loafing leftist on a suicide watch yet?

If Americans ever knew the truth about this crooked Marxist they’d encircle the White Hut and cause Obammy some real anxiety.
