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”.

It’s Ron Paul! The secret must come out. He prefers threesomes with long-legged Las Vegas chorus girls. He says it’s perfectly constitutional.

He may not be the pitcher, but he can still play catcher!

Is that a Mexican flag he’s holding?

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

Yeah the last 240 months of her life.

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.

D.C. leaks like a sieve. If there is anything like this happening on the campaign trail, then a lot more than one person knows about it.

Indian probably. I got the picture from an dedication of a Ghandi statue in Cleveland.

You’re on! No way is Hillary straight!

[GovernmentShrinker]

I wonder if involves Chelsea. That’s something I could see that whole list of big MSM outlets sitting on.

[eastsider]

Classic : )

[Palladin]

Stop it! There may be children watching.

[Rick.Donaldson]

I think it’s Bill.... Clinton. LOL

[Rogle]

Well because it says leading it cannot be Richardson who by the way has a harem of bimbos in Santa Fe.

[MHGinTN]

Um, wrong.

[Antique Gal]

Can you say Huma Abedin!!

[ontap]

If the Breck girl is cheating. Is it with a girl?

[geezerwheezer]

I’m certain it is Fred Thompson they are talking about. I know for a fact, and can prove that Fred is a practicing thespian!

[Big Steve]

Here’s my take. If it’s a Republican, and that Republican knows it may be about him, he ought to come clean now and diffuse the whole situation now. If he waits and gets the nomination and then it comes out, he could be damaged politically and hand the White House to the Dems. He needs to think about it.

Would libs even consider a lesbian relationship between Hillary and another woman as a scandal? Wouldn’t they defend it as her “right,” as “progressive,” as “nobody’s damned business,” etc? Would the same mainstream media that slammed Kenneth Starr for the “it’s just about sex” Lewinsky investigation dare to unveil a consensual-sex affair involving a leading Democrat? I’m skeptical.
