Either no one cares or it hasn't got legs.

This is a surgical strike, knocking Edwards off the VP short list. With that done, there’s no news value to the msm.

The Drive-Bys cannot interrupt coverage of Little Barry's trip to summer camp. He's meeting important leaders, playing basketball and even going up in helicopters with Army guys. Perhaps after Little Barry gets home they can report on the Breck Girl.

Apparantly, this posting won't tell me either. Is there a blackout here also?

What was Edwards busted for?

I hear it’s due to the sudden pregnancy of a subordinate that may be due to his well-groomed manhood.

Sen. John Edwards Caught
With Mistress and Love Child!
National Enquirer, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:FlyRight, 7/22/2008 5:02:41 PM

Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The married ex-senator from North Carolina - whose wife Elizabeth continues to battle cancer — met with his mistress, blonde divorcee Rielle Hunter, at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night July 21 - and the NATIONAL ENQUIRER was there!

There was some discussion yesterday that Edwards could lose half of his hair and body wash kit.

I just found out about this late last night. According to the Politics1.com website, this is what they have to say:

“Strike former US Senator John Edwards from the VP hopefuls list. The National Enquirer secretly stalked Edwards with investigative reporters — much like the famous Miami Herald/Gary Hart encounter in 1987 — until they apparently caught him sneaking out of his purported girlfriend’s room in a Los Angeles hotel at 2:40 am on Tuesday morning.

The newspaper again reported Edwards is the father of the woman’s infant child. Edwards’ wife Elizabeth is terminally ill with cancer. According to the newspaper, Edwards snuck in through a side entrance, then went downstairs to avoid the lobby and grab an elevator up, and then reversed the move when leaving.

When the reporters ambushed Edwards upon leaving the room, he ran into a basement bathroom and remained holed up there for 15 minutes until hotel security was summoned to escort out the reporters. In any instance, Edwards will now be eliminated from any serious VP consideration.

80% of people could care less and the rest think he is that TV mind reader.

How about this: I hear that Mr. Edwards has had mistresses for years - in North Carolina, and this is, apparently, common knowledge there.

The other explanantion might be this: No one cares about Mr. Edwards, because what you see is what you get, and that isn’t much.

If a relatively obsure Christian minister is mixed up in hanky panky, the coverage is 24/7.

If a unknown Republican congressman taps toes in a public bathroom, that, too, is worthy of a week's worth of national news coverage.

If I didn't know better, I'd think the accomplice media had an agenda. snicker

"Edwards snuck in through a side entrance."
Sounds kinky.

Hillary’s surrogate David Kendall helps remind Barry that Hillary is available for VP.

He got caught visiting his mistress. He then ran and hid in the restroom like a real man, until security guards came and escorted him out and made the reporters quit picking on him.

National Enquirer is supposedly going to release pics this evening of their reporters chasing Edwards around the hotel. Apparently, there were a lot of witnesses in the hotel so the NE story is verifiable.
