Edwards, Busted (Media Blackout continues)
Slate ^ | 7/23/08 | Mickey Kaus

Posted on 07/23/2008 6:18:52 AM PDT by teddyballgame

Edwards, Rielle Hunter, Busted: HuffPo 's Sam Stein, who got the story rolling, appears to be vindicated. ... P.S.: Always trust content from kausfiles! Never trust content from Jerome Armstrong. ... P.P.S.: Will this be the first presidential-contender level scandal to occur completely in the undernews, without ever being reported in the cautious, respectable MSM? That's always seemed an interesting theoretical possibility--a prominent politician just disappears from the scene, after blogs and tabloids dig up dirt on him, but nobody who relies on the Times, Post, network news or Mark Halperin has the faintest idea why. If this is that case, it will have come along sooner than I would have thought. ... P.P.P.S.: But it's hard to believe the MSM can ignore the story now. Don't think Obama will! ...

Update: Nothing yet. You'd think MSM reporters would resent being played for chumps by Mudcat Sanders, et. al. ... 8:09 P.M. link

First of all you are correct that Rendell would help with the Jewish vote though I'm of the belief that a VP can't help you as much as they can hurt you.

I'm from southwest Missouri and this next thing deals with the northeast, an area of the country that I don't really understand politically. I know an elderly man from New Jersey, first generation Italian, life long Democrat. I know him but don't like him. Regardless this is what he said to me, “Well Kevin, I'll tell you what. I'm going to vote for McCain, because there is no way I'm voting for a colored man”. Now in my mind that is the WORST reason for supporting McCain over Obama. Still you have to wonder how many senior citizens in the northeast think along those same lines.

Finally! Rush Limbaugh is reporting the story now. Maybe it’ll get a bit more notice, although surely not with any msm outlet.

Rush said he could just see the Breck Girl hiding in the bathroom combing his hair calling hotel security begging for a way out of there.

You would think that McCain would wise up and start to take on this Barry jerk. By the way, I cannot watch Bill O. anymore due to the nightly Obamamercial. Sometimes there are three stories in a row!

I’ve heard for years that he is a womanizer so most Tar Heels aren’t surprised.

Now Drudge has even dropped its reference. What’s going on? TV stations in Portland, LA and Miami have picked it up, tho.But no matter, Edwards is toast. And oh, what a welcome home he must have gotten yesterday from Mrs. Edwards.

It’s back up on Frudge. NE was promising some pictures. Once those are up, the story will offically have legs.
