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

Unlike the front page news of John McCain and that lobbyist. What was the story? There is this attractive lobbyist, and someone on John McCain’s staff thinks he shouldn’t hang around her too much. To say there was nothing substantive would be an understatement. As I recall, the story was something like, “Someone thought once that maybe a rumor might start if John McCain was seen with this person....” That got more coverage than this story has garnered so far!

“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.”

That must be one of those NoTell Motels.

When the reporters ambushed Edwards upon leaving the room, he ran into a basement bathroom and remained holed up there...

HAhahahaha...I can just see that little wuss hiding in a stall.

In Edwards’ two Americas, each location has a built in family.

The reason why not many FR folks saw this is that it went to Chat after a short stint in Breaking News. This thread may have the same fate. Use keywords to check for updates; they will pull up related threads from all forums.

These guys (like Edwards, Clintoon, Spitzer, etc. etc.) never cease to amaze me.


Is there any politician out here who is patriotic to a fault, and doesn't think with their little head, or is overwhelmed to nurture us with their mammary's?

Keep pushing it here. The more we see of it here, the more the MSM lurkers will see. Then it will work its way onto RWR and at least one host, Bortz, Rush, Hannity, Savage, others, will take it “public.”

Bottom line is, MSM or not, the Breck Girl is out as VP candidate.

So he IS interested in girls! Who knew?

I thought the same thing, like he was "smooth down there" like a Ken doll.

My wife said long ago that there would be a huge sex scandal involving him, because a buy with his high profile and supposed “good looks” (she doesn’t think so, but the media does) simply wasn’t going to, shall we say, be attracted to his sick wife.

“So he IS interested in girls! Who knew?”

Since my first thought on seeing her photo was how mannish looking she was, let’s not jump to conclusions. My second thought was the hair styling video and that he probably thinks he’s found his soul mate with this person.

I call “miserable human being” because of his wife’s situation.

I bet his kept slut didn’t have their baby in North Carolina where, thanks to Edwards, he drove out the best gyns.

To paraphrase Craig Ferguson...”I KNOOOOOOOW” 8-)

But it is lower than low, isn’t it? A man cruising for sex with his employees while the mother of his children is battling cancer..

There really aren’t any taboos for dims anymore..other than criticizing Obama..are there?

I agree 100%.

Media is attempting a coverup because he is a liberal Democrat.

What happened to the thread yesterday. One minute it was in breaking news when I got home, went to walk the dog and it disappeared. I didn’t search the site for it but I didn’t think it would quiet down so quickly here. I thought maybe it was pulled.
