So I was down in DC this past weekend and happened to run into a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that “everyone knows” The LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate. “Everyone knows” meaning everyone in the DC mainstream media political reporting world. “Sitting on it” because the paper couldn’t decide the complex ethics of whether and when to run it. The way I heard it they’d had it for a while but don’t know what to do. The person who told me )not an LAT person) knows I write and didn’t say “don’t write about this”.

After Bubba Clinton’s pass by the MSM, by definition there is no such thing as a RAT politician sex .

There are only different levels of merit badges to be awarded for achivements beyond the call the present spouse.

LA Times Sitting On Major Sex Scandal Involving "Leading Presidential Candidate"

Kucinich has actually had sex with his wife. (Thus the irony quotes around "leading presidential candidate".)

What about McCain? He’s not a leading candidate, but he did cheat on his first wife (met Cindy while he was still married).

And why can’t it be about Obama? What makes him above reproach?

I hope it’s not Edwards. His wife doesn’t need this in last months of her life.

Now let’s be honest, leaving personalities aside, if you saw that couple walking down the street your first thought is “lesbian couple.”

That’s mine. Followed by, “that arab chick could do soooo much better.”

OK so we’re supposed to believe that “only” the LA Times is smart enough to dig up a story on a sex scandal and “everyone” knows about it? Fox, the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, New York Post are all too stupid to sumble across it? Expecially now that “everybody” knows the Times is sitting on it? Sorry, sounds a bit fishy to me.

There's a difference between knowing about the rumors and having something to back them up with. I, for one, would hope that no one publishes stuff like this without a reliable source. In the case, perhaps it is only the LA Times who found a source and the delay is because they are unsure if the source is credible enough to "go" with.

No. Law and Order shoots on location in NYC.

I don’t think Drudge would shill for the SHE-DEVIL even if she was a Lesbian! He didn’t do it for Craig so I don’t think he’ll do it for the VOMIT FROM HELL!

BTW, how do you know that about Rudy?

If he had his prostate removed for cancer, he is non-functional.

That’s only true for a small percentage of men who have a prostatectomy. With today’s techniques a skilled surgeon leaves everything functional.
