ONLY HIS HAIR DRESSER KNOWS FOR SURE!
August 6, 2008
The mainstream media's reaction to the National Enquirer's reports on John Edwards' "love child" scandal has been reminiscent of the Soviet press. Edwards' name has simply been completely whitewashed out of the news. Say, why isn't anyone talking about John Edwards for vice president anymore? No, seriously –- hey! Why are we going to a commercial break?
I suspect that if I tried to look up coverage of the Democratic primaries in Nexis news archives, Edwards' name will have disappeared from the debates. By next week, Edwards won't have been John Kerry's running mate in 2004.
Do you know what this means? At this precise moment in time, I could call Edwards a name that would send me to rehab, and the media wouldn't be able to report it!
A Washington Post reporter defended the total blackout on the National Enquirer's John Edwards' love child story, telling the Times of London: "Edwards is no longer an elected official and he is not running for office now. Don't expect wall-to-wall coverage." This was the perfect guy to talk to because if there's one thing they're careful about in London, it's tabloid excess.
Isn't there some level of coverage between "wall-to-wall" and "double-secret probation, delta-force level total news blackout" when it comes to a sex scandal involving a current Democratic vice presidential and Cabinet prospect?
Hey, what sort of "elected official" was Ted Haggard again? He was the Christian minister no one outside of his own parish had ever heard of until he was caught in a gay sex scandal last year. Then he suddenly became the Pope of the Protestants. And yet, despite the fact that Haggard was not an "elected official," the Post gave that story wall-to-wall coverage. And what sort of "elected officials" were Mel Gibson, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Bennett?

Moreover, the National Enquirer reports that Edwards is paying Rielle Hunter -- the former "Lisa Druck" -- $15,000 a month in "hush money." Shouldn't the IRS be investigating whether Edwards is deducting those payments as a "business expense"?Someone recently mentioned, "How much hush money is Edwards paying to the Media"

Rules...
Did Edwards withhold fica/futa? Did he verify her I9 immigration status?
LOL. Go ahead, Ann -- call him all the names you want to, the MSM will totally ignore it now. Edwards is a non-person in the MSM. Can't mention him anymore b/c that would just remind the sheeple of his existence, and then someone might wonder why his VP prospects suddenly vaporized, why his "love child" and mistress are a non-story, etc. etc.
The Breck Girl does not exist, he never existed, he never was Jon Carry's VP running mate, and he never did extort so many millions of dollars via bogus medical lawsuits channelling talking fetuses, etc. He is officially a non-person.
Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Hilarious
So here's another:
She’s getting better with age ... just like wine.
horrible, insensitive....yet I can’t look away.....
If its wednesday night it must be time for an Ann Coulter column. BTW, she was great on Hannity & Colmes last night.
Did someone say Double-Secret Probation???
When it comes to conservatives and even just a hint or rumor of scandal, they're gonna nail us no matter what we do. Or don't do. The New York Times ran with the mere rumors about a female lobbyist flying around with McCain. Now, Prettyboy Edwards is caught virtually with his pants down coming out of a hotel room at 3:00am with a woman not his wife. Probably blew his chances for VP, quite literally. Obama could put him in charge of internships at the White House...
Better yet, they should make him a college president. The educational field needs men with drive who can work late hours. He could direct the "No Child Left Behind" program....
...Leno made another joke about it last night, according to Byron York:...something to the effect of:
"The National Enquirer reports that John Edwards’ mistress is receiving $15,000 a month in hush money.
No word on how much the mainstream media is getting."
The audience reportedly got the joke.
It must suck for the big-time news guys to keep getting scooped by their own networks’ late-night clowns.
That’s funny.
