A major sex scandal story involving one of the leading presidential candidates is believed to be soon published by the LA Times, Big Head DC has learned. Details are slowly trickling in through people who’ve heard about the story, and with Larry Flynt saying he’s set to reveal a “huge” sex scandal story involving a sitting senator in the coming days, the rumors seem to be gathering traction.
“So I was down in DC this past weekend and happened to run into a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that ‘everyone knows’ the LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading presidential candidate,” reports Pajamas Media’s Ron Rosenbaum. “‘Everyone knows’ meaning everyone in the DC mainstream media political reporting world. ‘Sitting on it’ because the paper couldn’t decide the complex ethics of whether and when to run it. The way I heard it they’d had it for a while but don’t know what to do. The person who told me is not an LAT person and knows I write and didn’t say ‘don’t write about this.’”
Several commenters on Rosenbaum’s article strongly believe that Hillary Clinton will ultimately be revealed as a lesbian, and that the recent GQ story her campaign helped kill by threatening to withhold a Bill Clinton interview may have gone into some shocking details into her sex life.Rumors of a close Hillary relationship with one of her top aides Huma Abedin, shown above, have long been swirling. Hillary has long denied being a lesbian.

Unlike women, men don't have gay "pasts" unless they are dead.
he may have become involved in something messy.
Really now?
Wouldn't be backing someone else would we? That's a pretty irresponsible statement -
I think the story has been hacked or leaked...Only a matter of time...Tuesday
Innuendo, speculation, gossip, wishful thinking.....
If I had to bet on the target, and if the LAT and Flynt subjects are in fact the same person, I would put my money on Obama. Neither Flynt nor the LAT would be likely to even pursue a story that might discredit Hillary, let alone publish one.
Certain Freepers have speculated for some time that the well-oiled Clinton attack machine would target Obama for an early and devastating knockout punch. Striking through strongly pro-Clinton media matches their MO perfectly.
We just don’t know, but I think we will find out soon enough.
There is no way the LA Times would break a major scandal involving Hillary.
Well, last checked they haven't.
Will it be about her lesbian partner?
I just looked up the name Pellicano which is the detective that Hillary hired to discredit Jennifer Flowers. This guy is a really rough character.

My guess. They have nothing. It’s a non-story.
“Your correct keep, Biden is also a sitting senator, that makes it Biden, Clinton, Dodd, McCain, and Obama.”
OMG! What if it’s all of them! A Giant orgy!
“Hillary being “outed,” which could turn off voters in “flyover” country so fast her campaign will sink faster than a heavy stone in water”
I think here campaign would only drop 5 points. Not enough to deny the primary win, but make impossible a presidential win.
Sex & Hillary don’t match.... can’t be her.
But Brownback just recently dropped out....and I don't think that Flint and LAT would go after a Dim.
Agreed. There's been nothing to indicate the two are in any way related.

It's just reality. I'm a middle-aged bachelor myself. I realize that if a rumor went around work about an engineer being arrested for soliciting a prostitute, people would wonder whether I was the guy. It's just the way life is. Any man in that kind of position of power and prestige (being in the Senate) is going to have plenty of opportunities to enjoy various sexual experiences. If the man is single, I can't necessarily blame him if he pursues some of these opportunities. If the stories are well known but not openly discussed in political circles, I can see how they could be fodder for a newspaper to publish during an election year. If we're going to engage in speculation, there are logical reasons to think that Mr. Thompson may be the target.
The fact that Mr. Thompson is about third to maybe fifth on my list of preferences is irrelevant. As I said in my first post, I can't see the liberals wanting to smear Rudy Giuliani with a sex scandal. Rudy Giuliani is more than halfway on their side anyway. John McCain might be a possibility, but I think he's losing relevance without the need for a scandal. Mitt Romney being involved in sex scandal would be equally big news, but I don't believe he would do something of that nature. I also believe that he'd have fewer opportunities. My first preference for president is Duncan Hunter. I don't believe that he'd be involved in something like that either, but even if he were, a sex scandal involving a guy who is stuck at 1% in the polls is hardly big news. I guess Mike Huckabee would be big news as well, and maybe his being a minister would make the story seem very juicy to the newspapers. For the other candidates, the situation is the same as it is for Mr. Hunter. Their troubles wouldn't be that juicy a scoop for the newspapers because they are so low in the polls. Again, the newspapers would prefer to expose a Republican this way, and there are reasons why the target could be Mr. Thompson.
In my original post, I made a couple of statements to mitigate any accusations that might arise about Mr. Thompson. Specifically, I said, "He was single for a while during his time in the Senate, and he may have become involved in something messy. When all is said and done, the facts are likely to be much less serious than the build-up would make them seem, but the wrong revelation at the wrong time could hurt his momentum enough to deny him the nomination." There's a world of difference between a single man becoming involved with someone and the relationship getting messy and a married man chasing other women. I mentioned Mr. Thompson's being single because that fact mitigates the idea that he did something really wrong if a relationship just went bad. I also said that I won't be surprised if the substance of the facts are much less serious than the spin that the newspapers are using to try to promote their story. However, when you posted, you omitted both of these things to make my post appear to be much more accusatory than it really was. There's nothing irresponsible about my post, but your post shows you to be dishonest.
Bill
McConnell from KY? from Flynt
Rudy from LA Times?
Actually, your whole post and theory about Fred is BS. It’s just wishful thinking on your part. You are so obvious with your mudslinging.
Won’t stick on Fred. Not even a good try.
Until Wednesday they were two separate rumors in print, one—about the L.A.Times rumor—from Ron Rosenbaum of Pajamas Media—and the other—about Flynt’s rumors of a possible Republican scandal—from Big Head DC. Then BHDC did another post combining the two, perhaps not trying to confuse, as though they were one scandal.
I sure hope not; I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy!..
Edwards, a lesbian?
I thought he was a homosexual and the receiver, not the pitcher.
