Explain the logic?

If Edward's story had come out in a time when he was on the front page of the papers every day and the lead story on most news shows and the top category of late night TV and the Nat'l Enquirer broke a story about him, you could pretty much bet it was false. The fact was, John Edwards had sulked back into nothingness and someone came to the NE with a story to sell. So they bought and they printed it.

They've been using Sarah Palin's face to sell papers since she hit the stage. Covering everything from her daughter actually having her baby and Palin pretending its hers now, to some secret wedding to get Bristol married prior to the news about her pregnancy, to you name it.... Every week its something.

They got Edward's story right because at the time he didn't mean jack shit to anyone and they were the only ones willing to buy it.

Right now their sales are probably 10 times normal putting Palin's photo on every issue. They can just throw 100 spit wads at the wall and see which ones stick.

The Edwards story came out while he was in the thick of his presidential run not a few weeks after he dropped out..People didnt believe or pay any attention to it because it was in the national enquirer.The rest of your paragraph is invalid.

I was talking about July when people other than the ones trying to get the latest scoop on bigfoot heard about it.

Oh Noes. Imagine that, the Enquirer has reported that Obama is hiding his ties to the terrorists. I'm sure Obama is scared of the impact this could have on his campaign.

Quote:March 10, 2008
National Enquirer smears Obama

The current issue of the National Enquirer contains some ugly smears of Barack Obama.

The cover prominently features a picture of him along with the headline "Obama's secrets... His close friendship with terrorist." Out of context, this headline may reinforce the the myth that Obama is a Muslim, suggesting to casual readers that Obama is friends with a Muslim terrorist. In fact, however, the headline refers to Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, a former member of 1960s radical group the Weathermen.

In addition to scurrilous suggestions that the gay choir director of Obama's church was murdered to silence him from revealing what he knows about the presidential candidate, the article uses the Ayers connection to suggest that Obama is anti-American. It quotes Bill Hobbs (the Tennessee GOP flack who authored an infamous press release smearing Obama):

Asked about Ayers, Obama's campaign spokesman David Alexrod freely admitted: "Yes, they're friendly."

Bill Hobbs, communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party, revealed there are other links between the senator and America's enemies.

"Obama has a foreign policy advisor, Robert Maley, who blames Israel for anything bad and suggests we ought to be doing business with Hamas (the radical Palestinian militants dedicated to Israel's destruction)," Hobbs told the enquirer.

Hobbs believes Obama will be putting America's strongest ally in the Middle East right in the crosshairs of our enemies.

Just as disturbing is the alleged link between Obama and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has referred to Jews as "dogs" and "pigs"...

Even worse, the Enquirer floats rumors that Obama is an Iranian agent without directly contradicting them:

The senator's questionable associations have fired up Internet bloggers and their imaginations.

The "New York Post" recently reported that some Internet "posts" even claim that Obama is an Iranian agent sent to take over the U.S. government and wage war against Sunni Muslims."

A pull quote stating that "Some posts even claim Obama is an Iranian agent" is featured in a separate picture of Obama that appears above the famous image of him in Somali clothing. Once again, the implication to casual readers is that Obama is a Muslim and possibly disloyal to the US.

While the tendency is to ignore the Enquirer as tabloid trash, it has a circulation of more than one million copies and is seen by many more people in supermarket checkout lines. We should not ignore what Mickey Kaus calls "the undernews."

Hey, BIRD. I bet you didn't know that Barak Obama had gay sex and smoked crack with a guy named Larry Sinclair in November 1999. Then Larry Sinclair had contact with the gay choir director, Donald Young, and later the choir director was killed to cover up that he knew about the butt sex and dope use.

Yep, check out the March 17, 2008 edition of the National Enquirer. Its all in there.

Just for the record I called Obama winning by 10 while you all where hung up on that Reverend Wright bullshit.

Do you know how weird it is to get every decision on politics correct for almost 10 years straight?Who to elect,predicting terrible presidents, wars to fight, taxes or tax cuts, I've hit the nail on the head every time.It's a privilege for you all to read my posts.
