Yeah, About as sure as I am that Cheney is not a robot and that bat boy never led anyone on a police chase in a stolen mini cooper.

The Enquirer wrote those stories???? Or are you channeling your skepticism to an unrelated newspaper because you so desperately want to love the Golden Boy who has really never done anything politically worthwhile?

It's funny that you and people like you hate this "golden boy" who has "really never done anything politically worthwhile" so much that you'd take this story and wait on pins and needles for the outcome...hoping Edwards is indeed a typical man and has cheated.

I am trying to figure out why this is even a story to begin with.

Weekly World News, what's the difference? Neither one are credible sources. They are supermarket rags that print stories on "celebrity celluite!" OMG! Seriously, this stuff is a joke. These sources are so utterly laughable, I can't believe anyone other than those with double digit IQ's would give it even a second glance. Please come back to reality. Stop reading supermarket tabliods. They are rotting your brain.

It's YOU that wants to believe it's true despite the fact that the only source reporting it has no credibility whatsoever.

You keep beating that same dead horse "OMG LEWINSKY"...the differences are vast. There wasn't ONE place reporting the Clinton stuff...there were several. There was also Linda Tripp and tapes.

Also, if I recall correctly, Drudge didn't really "break" the story. It was Time or Newsweek or someone who already knew the story and was sitting on it.

So if you just want to use any old source, I will quote jim in accounting who said it wasn't true. He is just as credible if not more so than the Enquirer. I will also cite myself. I said it wasn't true.
What's the difference? You found one article in a notoriously unreliable celebrity gossip supermarket rag of a newspaper and suddenly it's true.. it's true because you like what it says, regardless of the fact that it has no credibility. You can believe it if you wan't I guess, but forgive me if I laugh out loud when you cite them as your source.

Drudge has no journalistic integrity. They print stories before they can verify them. Sometimes they will get it right and sometimes they will get it wrong. In either case, thier story has no credibility untill it's corroborated by other sources who have taken the time to verify.

What? Drudge isn't a reporter. A REPORTER already had the story ready to print. He put out a rumor he heard. Nothing more.

All you're really saying is that the media has a history of covering up affairs for top Democratic officials. The media has been acting sketchy with Edwards and doesn't seem to have any desire to investigate. If it had been a top GOP official like Guilianni do you think they'd be responding the same way?

The photo the Enquirer released is garbage. But, if I recall correctly Edwards was at the hotel, he was in somebody else's room, and it was very late at night. Whether he was in her room having an affair is still open for question, but that would be enough to piss off my gf.

No, no I am not saying that at all. The fact of the matter is that the story was ready to print in the next issue. Those magazines don't print daily. Someone leaked to Drudge the story was coming...he put it out. That has nothing to do with Democrat, Republican or cover-up.

Rudy DID have affairs and frankly, I didn't hear enough about it to remember it. Could it also be possible that the media sees that this story is complete bullshit and refuses to print anything about it because it is complete bullshit? Also...just because they don't put anything out doesn't mean they haven't investigated.

So the photo is complete garbage but the story isn't? Why?

Comparison is invalid. I don't know you but I don't think you were a Senator, VP candidate and Presidential Candidate and wants to eradicate poverty....stuff like that probably means a lot of late night meetings, believe it or not people can be in hotel rooms for reasons other than sex. It could of just been a convenient and comfortable place to discuss business at night.

I don't know why he was there, but we can't forget the context.

Hey Bush just fucked his dog in the ass. If that's true, is he done?

Well of course he would be done IF it were true.

For the record, his campaign is already done : mamoru: He stands no chance.

Just because you may not like a person or really believe he is a certain way doesn't make him so. I don't like Ann Coulter but you don't see me posting stuff about her adams apple and rumors she is a tranny - as much as I would find that hilarious.

I guess you have too since so called conservatives have become so corrupt and inept that it's embarrassing for you guys to talk about them regarding issues so the only way to support your guys is to bash the other side.

You are going to have to to better than grocery store tabliod garbage. There was a picture of bat boy on thier cover too. Come on, you are smarter than this. I think you just want to believe it so badly that you will accept any source no matter how unreliable it is.
