The anti Romneys were starting to get traction with the tax return issue and the funds in the Cayman Islands issue putting the onus on Romney to release the returns before the SC primary and defend his Cayman Islands account. Why this story is harmful right now is that tonight’s sound bites coming from her mouth from her interview are going to flood the media for the next 2 days and that is all we are going to see taking the focus off Romney’s issues. Even tonight’s debates will be a non event next to this story because unfortunately salacious personal stuff is what draws media viewers.

Irrelevant.
Those media “viewers” are mostly dunder-head liberal females who would never vote for Newt anyway. I know who the National Enquirer demographic is. They’ll be more interested in slugging down a two-liter bottle of coke, eating a jumbo bag of chips and reading Madame Zooey’s latest horoscope, rather than ruminating about whether or not to vote for Newt. If anyone wants to know what these harridan slugs are interested in, read the Enquirer, and especially pay attention to the ads.
Mr. Pope knew his audience well and became a millionaire with that knowledge.
