@ all the liberals making fun of the Enquirer

HAHAHA holy carp! I never liked Edwards, I always thought he was a douche with his expensive ass haircuts and now he's cheating on his wife with cancer?!? What a piece of shit. However, I figured the Enquirer was a BS story, well I guess I was wrong.

This sounds a little fishy to me. Thats quite a bit of money and aparently she wasn't that experienced.

I will still NEVER accept the Enquirer as a legitimate source.

As far as Edwards goes...meh...I know I didn't care either way.

LULZ

Edwards denied paying any money to Hunter to keep her from going public but said it was possible some of his friends or supporters may have made payments without telling him.

at you for thinking the Enquirer is a legitimate news source. The only people who read that rag are people with double digit IQ's.

Enquirer sucks regardless of whether or not they get some stories right.

David Octavius · 08-08-2008, 04:43 PM

The Enquirer is still a BS source, anyone who uses it to cite a story deserves the neg rep

"In recent years it has sought to establish a reputation for reliable journalism and had some success, often scooping other media on the O.J. Simpson and Monica Lewinsky stories"

Well you have the early 90's covered with those TWO examples. Anything else? I would think it takes more than that to make someone legit.

More than just 'liberals' were making fun of the source, and I don't see what political orientation has to do with it anyway. I don't think anyone was bashing the Enquirer to defend Edwards, they were doing it because it's simply not credible, even though they've gotten a few stories right, most of the stuff they post is utter trash not worthy of serious discussion, see: batboy, cheney as robot, etc..

Donkey® · 08-08-2008, 06:28 PM

Well CNN is doing no favors for him...

JaJae · 08-08-2008, 06:33 PM

The source was definitely questionable, but based off what I've read of his character I'm not at all surprised. I assumed it was true, but I am a bit shocked he came out and admitted it. 7960 is gonna have a field day.

"His character"? He's a normal man just like most other men...except the gay Republicans.

I've read many interactions with him and he's pretty pompous among other things. Smoozes to the higher ups and treats everyone from the middle to the bottom like they're complete trash. He's self important, two-faced and selfish.

I don't understand how you can keep missing it. Those articles were NOT FROM THE ENQUIRER.

You can dissect pretty much ANY person in Washington and find the bad shit they've done to counteract the good shit they've done. That's nothing new.

No hes a lying asshole. And what do gay republicans have to do with it? No matter how fucked up the other side is thats still no excuse for Edwards. I never liked him anyway, but this is pretty much the last nail his his political careers coffin. I for one won't miss him.
