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

Spending the night in a California hotel.

Somehow I think there was more involved than that...

Oh, the humanity! Now the Breck girl will have to return to the mundane life of a trial lawyer to support his two lives.

He should do very well back in the legal field. He's so crooked the ambulances chase HIM.

Fox isn’t conservative. Fox was to the right of the rest of the MSM.

That is changed or at-least changing fast, IMHO.

FOX has hired Hillary people even though they are boring. Getting ready for 2012?

This reminds me of Barbara Walter’s publishing the story of her affair with former Senator Edward Brooke. It was cruel to his family although not as cruel as what former Senator John Edwards did. Still, it was cruel.

Looks like a case where Edwards actually drilled his way into the problem.

knocking Edwards off the VP short list.

Edwards has been off the list.

Ed Rendell, the Gov. of Pennsylvania, will get the VP slot, I predict.

Rendell, who is Jewish, will sooth over the Jewish vote, and it will put a lock on Pennsylvania, which is a critical state for victory.

Then again, I used to think Hillary was a lock.. but I don't think Michell "never proud" could ever get along with Hillary or Bill. they would be fighting within a week of the DNC convention.

This has GOT to be rippling thru North Carolina underground media circles bigtime.

I don't see how this doesn't become a national story.

This is a surgical strike, knocking Edwards off the VP short list.

She looks kinda like Camille. Must be something about women who have that look.

Prince Charles scorned a good looker for her and Elizabeth isn’t bad at all if she would lose a couple hundred pounds.

Obama is going to pick either Kathleen Sebelius, Claire McCaskill or Bill Richardson.

Obama will pick Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.

Firstly to get a lock on Pennsylvania, which is critical to a Dem victory...

And secondly to sooth over the Jewish vote, which doesn't trust Obama.

Some of my neighbors are Jewish, and several have told me they will never vote for Obama... and will support McCain.

I almost didn't believe them until I saw a McCain sticker on one of their vehicles the other week.

Anyway, a Rendell VP pick will go a long way toward solving both problems for Obama. (Rendell is Jewish)

WHat an idiot! He goes to a famous hotel to have an affair - if you’re going to commit adultery do it in an out of the way spot that likely no one cares about - like, Ft Wayne, IN...won’t see reporters hanging around there will ya? He’s an adulterer and an idio! Poor Elizabeth - she should divorce him before her final days are done and make sure that her kids get his money!
