Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, October 10, 2007

The National Enquirer is claiming in a report filed this evening that John Edwards had an affair with a campaign staffer, an allegation Ann Coulter repeated on this evening's Tucker Carlson show on MSNBC. Edwards' spokesman calls the claim "false, absolute nonsense."

I hope for the sake of his wife that this story is bullshit.

"The shocking allegation -- if proven true -- could devastate the Democratic hopeful's campaign, especially because John's devoted wife Elizabeth is locked in a desperate battle with breast cancer."

-National Enquirer

*Requiring minds need to know.

Also in the news, Elvis fathered a three headed Alien love child.

As a long time resident of NC I absolutely cannot stand John Edwards - but this story just has sooo many holes in it already. I mean come on, could you see John Edward's in the bar cruising for chicks? I doubt the guy has even seen the inside of a bar - at least a straight one (haha). Maybe I'm wrong - who knows - Sounds like the Clinton machine revving its engines.

Huh.

Sounds like the Kerry trail balloon they had up four years ago - and just as quickly ran up the white flag when it was bullshit.

Not that Edwards didn't expect it. The Swiftboaters have cut their mooring lines and are putting out to see for a long voyage.

Regards,
etc.

I like Edwards and so do a lot of people. Guess that's why the smear machine is in gear. I hope he didn't have an affair on his wife. They've been together since law school and been thru a lot. Why bring this crap up when his wife is probably dying? How low can it get in these campaigns?

This smacks of the Clinton smear machine to me. I mean come on, he and his wife celebrate their anniversary every year by going to the same Wendy's they went to on their first date. Would a guy who is sleeping out of watch do that? Nope, don't think so, he would buy the little wife something expensive then go out and screw the mistress. Much as I dislike Edwards (sleazy hypocrite that he is) even I don't believe this BS.

Leave it Coulter to believe that if it's printed in the National Enquirer, that's enough to move the the rumor forward.

Didn't a tabloid print that Dubya had an affair with a woman in west Texas in the 1990s? That's probably as true as this story.

There is no way John Edwards would do ANYTHING that might mess up his hair. Including sex.

This is even stooping low for RCADE!

Throw that moderation policy right out the door, or was it really just absent of malice?

Is Clinton spelled R O V I A N ?

What's wrong with a little hoochie coochie?

Ok, so it might derail his campaign for President. That might be an expensive bit of coochie! Americans are such puritans.

Then again, maybe he had to do something to repair his image after AnnCoulter dissed him.

This is even stooping low for RCADE!

Political scandal stories in the Enquirer get significant media attention. This one's already in play on TV, thanks to MSNBC giving airtime to Ann Coulter.

I like Edwards, but pretending the allegation isn't out there doesn't do Dems any favors.

Edwards has NO chance of winning the Democratic nomination. Arcade, this is a new low for you. Happily, I have completely lost my capacity to be amazed.

And he has an illigitimate black baby.

Sincerely,

Karl

and just looky at the people here who are upset because this story is out there....
and yet they have never read a bash bush and the right story that they didnt like regardless of its credibility...

but mess with one of 'them' and oh noooooooooo its bring out all of the journalism standards baloney they can MUSTERD...........(get it,.......get it..

baloney they can MUSTERD........come on ,....admit it..thats funny....)

BLT,

You are about as funnay as hip replacement.

Probably after much thought and research the Clinton machine calculated that Edwards voters would likely defect to Hillary .

Condi is still yearning to spend time with her husband George. Ann Coulter demonstrates what a lightweight, tabloid news junkie she is. Anyone who listens to her is admitting their own inability to cull facts. I have heard her speak absolute dishonest lies on more than one occasion, factcheck.org won't come up on her computer.

Danni,

mAnn Coulters biggest lie is that she claims to be a woman.

Those saying this can't be true are delusional. Edwards is just as capable as anyone else of having an affair. It's not like politiocoans are known for egos or anything...Same with rich slip and fall lawyers...

If true, so what. If false, so what.

In some countries where adults live no one really cares if their politicians have affairs, they care more about what policies they are going to enact and other such unimportant stuff. Us Americans know better, we study the sexual habits of our leaders and leave the governing to corporate CEOs.

Yeah Danni, I noticed you are above it all...Except for your fascination with Condi and W.

I'll bet Obama has some strange on the side too. I just hope Barak doesn't find out about it.

.......the National Inquirer teams up with Ann Coulter to get the facts straight...........

.........I'm just surprised they didn't come up with Edwards having a threesome with Hillary and a lesbian from Mars........

""Except for your fascination with Condi and W.""

Oh yeah, those two really fascinate me.
It's just an example of another one of these rumors about politicians. Personally I couldn't care less if Dumbya is doing Hillary, he is still the worst president in history. His sex-life neither makes him better or worse, it's irrelevant.

Hopefully the broad is hotter than Clinton's stable. If she is really hot, then I will even vote for Edwards!

I don't believe Edwards is having an affair with a campaign staffer.

I do believe he could be having an affair with his right hand.

Oh please. You are one who loves to crow about hypocricy. What about the hypocricy of pretending to be a faithful and devoted husband, but getting trim on the side?

Of course, it never bothered you that Edwards is whoring his wife's sickness to raise campaign money.

Hypocricy is a major matter when you percieve it in a Republican. 'Proof' that he can't be trusted. But when it's a sleazy ambulance chaser (and one-term senator) from the crackpot fringe, suddenly the only serious matter is 'policies'

Got that Calculator out again verm?
I see you're doin' it again....

Just remember sparky-every time you point "the finger" at someone else-you're pointing THREE at yourself-go ahead and check it out on your hand-point your index finger at something-then turn your hand over and look at how many fingers are pointing at you......

John Edwards had an affair?
With a woman?
Who wasn't a hooker?
Or a minor?
That he didn't meet in a public toilet?

That's Morally Disgusting;
The Holy Trinity
Craig, Foley and Vetter.

The bottom. That became apparent to me when they started running those "ford is gonna steal your white women" adds...

That being said I think its a valid thing to bring up if true.

Well it was hetero sexual... didn't occurr in a mens room... he didn't try to sneak viagra past customs... he didn't offer to pay money for it... he didn't stalk her... didn't post pictures of his weiner on his male escort site... she was of concentual age... the baby wasn't half black... there was no phone sex on the goverment dime...so the reputzacons must be pretty upset to want to bring attention to this.

Only his hairdresser knows.

Imagine that! The nerve of Edwards to pay 400 dollars of his own money for a haircut.

What a capitalist pig!

Is the the same mAnne Coulter that sought free legal counsel for Fatty Lewinsky and her transsexual rhinoceros friend, Linda Tripp?

Why yes, it is.

as my leftist-kennedy-
dhimmiwhittedcrat mother told me when clintoonyloons got caught with his cigar in the humidor, "ALL MEN CHEAT ON THEIR WIVES!"

okay, mom...'scuse me while i go puke...

Puhleeze

This is not rocket science.
Hill has been chosen.
Edwards was a mild threat, they took him out.

they set up the plant on edwards years ago just for this. What are the odds of a real person standing up and ruining edwards career? Nada
She is a paid plant, yes she probably did it and yes it was so they could eliminate him

same with bill and monica
planted for distraction.

the other lady in the WH was part of SPECIAL FORCES! no one even raised eyebrows, too weird,

dont fret edwards is out and hill is in.
wait and see.


Oh, hill will win.
then the boot starts kicking.

Just remember sparky-every time you point "the finger" at someone else-you're pointing THREE at ....

Yes, Frank, we have all heard this bullshit in Sunday School. You seem to be the only one who is still opening his mouth like a 9-year-old.

Now. take that finger out of your nose; if you are nice you can have some pretzels and orage drink.
