Yes, you are right. Anyway, I think that brand-new poster is pulling our collective leg. Dumb of me to bite. I wish with all the bells and whistles here, they would have put in an option for us to delete our own posts. Then I wouldn't have to sit here with egg on my face.

Don't feel TOO eggy -- at least not 'til tomorrow. I haven't ruled out the possibility that the poster may have seen such an article, but that of course would have no bearing on whether there's any truth to it or not. Despite it's remarkable forays into real journalism last year, the National Enquirer remains the National Enquirer, and still needs to sell papers to its core readership, which is eager for racy scandals and doesn't much care whether they're real or fabricated as long as they're fun to read and gossip about. However, this is the type of story where IF some information like what the poster described came to light, the Enquirer would likely be the first to publish it, as all the "legitimate" news outlets would be busy checking with their lawyers, and concocting lame excuses about why it was really legitimate news and thus okay for them to print.
