Hmm. In local supermarkets everywhere.

I wonder why they ran this. I think the clintons still control the supermarket tabloids.

Somehow, no matter how this goes down, I get the sneaking suspicion that the Clintons (almost rhymes with "Clantons" from the Wyatt Earp days) come out way ahead.

They seem to have Obama hopping to and from Hawaii and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, just to keep from spending $10 to produce the 'real thing'....if he has one.

I can't help but think that they have a tremendous amount of leverage on him right now. Hillary's appointment to Sec. State could easily be a part of it.

As long as they can keep this whole thing "hanging", he has to dance (like a puppet) to their music.

If the whole thing comes out too soon, they lose their leverage.....timing is everything.

"I think the clintons still control the supermarket tabloids."

Roger Altman, United States Deputy Treasury Secretary in bill clinton’s administration, bought a controlling stake in American Media, which publishes the National Enquirer, the Star, and the Weekly World News in 1999. He later bought the Globe, the Sun, and the National Examiner.

It was a pretty shrewd move. Any possible clinton scandal about to come out could be put in the tabloids first with a few key facts intentionally wrong. The lib talking heads could then claim any scandal as simply "supermarket tabloid trash!" "Look at all the lies and falsehoods in this story!"

Brilliant move. The clinton tabloids can also be used to float rumors about clinton political opponents or go after sleazy things that the MSM won't go after like the Edwards affair.

Probably reverse psychology. To make us look like lunatics to the sheeple standing in the checkout lines
