Garbage or not, it clearly got this story right, which all of you went on for pages about, claiming it was not.

No...I was merely saying the Enquirer was a shit source...and until a second source confirmed this story, I wasn't going to call it gospel. Matter of fact, I am pretty sure I said "true or not, the Enquirer is a shit source."

I said -

Whether or not Edwards had an affair is not even the point - I don't care either way - its trying to pass the enquirer as if it has credibility just because you (and whoever else who talk's and publishes this nonsense) have a personal grudge against him, very petty.

The enquirer was and still is garbage

No, we claimed the Enquirer is a shit source, and it's true. Like Lou said, even a broken clock is right twice a day. They're simply not credible as journalists. Why would we waste time believing such a shoddy outlet?

Now there's an admission and real journalists covering it.

Makes me glad Edwards wasn't the nominee. It's funny because I think a few people were banned on Daily Kos for posting diaries about it, and now there's a ton of outrage from the 'big wigs' on the site.

I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. Although I was honest in every painful detail with my family, I did not tell the public. When a supermarket tabloid told a version of the story, I used the fact that the story contained many falsities to deny it. But being 99% honest is no longer enough.

I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public.

You posted that later.


First you posted

"First of all you guys are acting like it is proven he did something..umm the "source" is the National Fucking Enquirer! That proves nothing, not even the possibility that he may of cheated..are you conservatives so desperate to make liberals look bad that you stoop to this level??

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 went off about conservatives not being able to discuss issues so they have to lie about stuff like this.

Well, you were wrong.

All I can say it's to bad his family has to go through this crap.

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.

AAHHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA.....OMG BREATH MIKE, BREATH.....AAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAA A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: bowrofl::bowro fl:

You were right, but your source still sucked and there was no rational reason to buy into it. Giving people the benefit of the doubt when there's no one but a tabloid reporting it was the correct course of action, IMO.

You're like one of those donkeys at the poker table who makes a blindingly stupid move, gets lucky on the river and then claims to have known what they were doing all along. Go ahead and laugh it up. If you make the move you made, 99.99% of the time you will be wrong. And I will call the source garbage every time, and be right 99.99% of the time.
You're embarresing yourself.

This is what you are doing.
You are coming to me and saying " hey I am going to flip a coin 5 times, and I think that It's very very likely that I will get 5 heads in a row"

Then I laugh at you and I tell you that you are probably wrong, because I know that your chances of success are about 3%.

You then flip the coin 5 times and, low and behold, you get 5 heads in a row. You start laughing at ME now because you think that based upon this isolated outcome that your assertion that 5 consequtive heads in a series of 5 coinflips is now a likely event.

I continue to call your initial assertion foolish, and walk away in disgust at your complete and utter lack of understanding of statistics as you continue to believe that you were the smart one all along trusting in an unlikely outcome.

No, what's happening is THIRTY YEARS AGO the enquirer was trash, it was a joke, our parents made fun of it. But THIRTY YEARS AGO they changed and started researching stories and publishing TRUE things corroborated by FACTS they'd paid for. You don't like the topics of their stories so you continue to hold onto your ignorant opinion of them. Fact is for the last THIRTY YEARS the enquirer has been NOTHING like what you've been making them out to be. They didn't publish batboy, they didn't write about cheney/robot, they do have lots of gossip-like articles but they are backed by investigated reporting. So stick with your programing/believability thing, but as long as you're using what was true THIRTY YEARS AGO to form your opinion, your opinion is going to be crap.
