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

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”.

I will bet that the Hillary camp knows what it is and she will give the word when to divulge.

Might not be a (R) but if it is (and if it is a leading candidate) its probably Romney:

Rudy already has lost the family values plank, not allot to lose.

Thompson is already known as having been something of a play boy when divorced, not allot to lose.

The only think Mitt has going is that picture perfect family life, it helps to distract from center left positions in MA for more than a decade..

Then again it could be Hillary, Obama or Edwards...

I think it’s a Republican, or they wouldn’t have mentioned it at all...it’d be shredded without a second thought..

That's what I'm afraid of. If it's Mr. X, we nominate Mr. X, and then the Witch explodes the scandal, she could walk into the WH virtually unopposed. Especially if it's a Republican, I want to see it out now so we can see how bad it is. Right now, IMHO, we have three adequate candidates, any one of whom I would be happy to support in the general election. If the scandal involves one of them and breaks now, we'll have plenty of time to work things out and get rid of the bad apple if the scandal's really serious.

Unless they have finally dug up the photo of Hillary in a close embrace with Janet Reno!

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!

Thompson gave up thespianism to run for President.

John Edwards? Oh, now there's a shocker.../sarc So what's the boyfriend's name?

Edwards + Obama (/sarc)

Now THAT would give the MSM some big 'ethical' dilemmas (i.e., liberal Democrat tactical concerns) about whether it would be wise to knock out BOTH of Shrillery's main competitors in one fell swoop.

I didn't say she was straight about anything.

I'm betting that the news story SAYS she is straight.

If it’s a democrat they will hold it until after the election. If it’s a republican they will release it in October 2008.
and the media wonder why we hate them!

Whoever it is, I hope it doesn’t involve Ted Kennedy.

I think that is a leading democrat, probably Hillary. At this point all the GOP frontrunner's have got to know that any indiscretion in their past will be dug up and exploited for political purposes. If they’re dumb enough to believe that they can hide their skeletons from the liberal media, they’re out of their minds.

Well, that rules in McCain and Paul.

That is why I think it is Edwards, anyone else and it would be out in the open.

If it were Hussein, then the Clinton Machine would have that plastered on the front page of every newspaper and website.

McCain? Possible, his wife had health issues a few years back, but my goodness...72!

Thompson?

I doubt it, would take too much energy...lol

Huma is too pretty to be linked with the Rodham-rodent, regardless of her sexual proclivities.

Mexicans don’t like queers. This should keep quite a few home on election day.

My money is on Rudy. He has a history of this kind of thing, remember?

Yeah, but maybe it’s just the MSM trying to spook some R. into ‘outing’ his own affair when they don’t have any hard evidence!!

[of course, if any of the R. candidates does have such dirty laundry I want them out of the race now anyway - but I’m just sayin’ that it would be an interesting approach by the MSM, to start up the rumor mill and get some R. candidate(s) to run for the hills (good riddance, then)]

I don’t think she is Mexican. Some sort of Muslim?

Ha! True, but I believe in the case of McCain he’s already addressed his past affairs.
