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”.

He was told it was not the Edwards rumor.

Well, when he was asked, he couldn't say anything but "no" because that would have broke the story right then. I guess we'll just have to wait to see who they say did it.

[Verginius Rufus]

It could be Mexico’s flag...or else Kuwait’s, or Equatorial Guinea’s...or the flag of Kucinich’s native planet.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

Maybe someone at Free Republic could break the story ahead of the LA Times and Drudge. That would be pretty cool.

[dforest]

In the article it was said that it is not Edwards. It has to be someone who if outed, could really effect the outcome for a long time.

I figure it’s Dennis Kucinich. I believe his species has eleven sexes.

It must be the rumors about John Edwards and the woman who worked on his campaign! IF it were a Republican, it would be splattered in every media source in America!

Thats just nonsense. The only woman John Edwards is infatuated with, is the one he sees in the mirror.

[liberty or death]

Good point.

[Phantom Lord]

It must be the rumors about John Edwards and the woman who worked on his campaign!

Can't be. Its about a LEADING candidate.

[casino66]

Has anyone suggested Hirrary and Barbara Mikulski?

[libstripper]

If it's one of the three leading Republicans, he has a profound obligation to the country and the party to get it out and deal with it NOW. Since the rumor's out of the bag, if it's a Republican, he's got to know that getting it out now and cleaning it up is his only option since, if the gets the nomination, the MSM will blast it all over, letting the Witch walk into the WH unopposed.

[Politicalmom]

My first thought was “Which one’s the ‘man’”?

[Phantom Lord]

I’m not sure there is such a thing as a “major” sex scandal anymore. Perhaps not even a sex scandal, period.

With democrats.

With Republicans even a minor sexual item can become a massive scandal.

And we have a sex scandal with Jack Ryan to thank for Obama being elected to the Senate and launched toward the Presidency. Which thankfully he will fall short of.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

Agreed. I think, from listening to Romney, he fully understands have malicious the media is, so it’s probably not him Thompson’s wife is playing a strong role in his campaign, and is smart. Probably, a close friend and ally, so I doubt it’s Fred. As for Rudy I think we all know his stuff, so I’m still of the opinion that it’s Mrs. Clinton.

[airborne]

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

Rosie and Ellen both have good looking babes with them.

I think it's more about power than looks.

[NRA2BFree]

Thats just nonsense. The only woman John Edwards is infatuated with, is the one he sees in the mirror.

You're right. What was I thinking? LOL

[johnny7]

O B A M A

[saganite]

Not necessarily. They could be holding it until after someone starts to stand out among the Republicans. If it’s the person in question then they would play their scandal card to destroy him.

[Politicalmom]

Interesting nobody has suggested the Huckster.

That would actually be very fun to watch all the “values voters” who are shilling for him have their heads explode.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

If it is why is the media sitting on it? Hillary is their choice. They’ll do all they can to protect her.

[mainerforglobalwarming]

It seems to me that the media wants to stay quiet about it, because coming out with the information would hurt their side. They’re so blatantly in the tank for Hillary, probably why nothing has leaked. If it were true about the gop frontrunner's, so gleeful idiot would have leaked it by now.
