I see Drudge teasing a National Enquirer headline about a supposed lovechild scandal involving “John Edward’s Love child”.
Ummm guys? Let’s remember, first of all, that the National Enquirer is to honest news reporting what the New York Times is to honest news reporting. And no, that’s not a compliment.
And while Kaus is running defense….
There’s no reason to conclude this story was planted by one campaign or another
…should I really have to point out to you who owns the National Enquirer? (Sigh) OK, the place is owned by Clinton supporter Roger Altman. Altman served as Deputy Treasury Sec’ty under Bill Clinton, and was a close adviser and heavy supporter in John Kerry’s campaign.
Comon’, kids, this ain’t rocket science.
Doug Ross has a great collection of points, here.
Addendum: (David L)
Gotta wonder if there is a connection between John Edwards rise in some polls and the hit piece. Tom Baxter, Southern Political Report:
John Edwards has leapfrogged over his rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and leads the Democratic field in Iowa, according to the latest InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll. In the Republican caucus race, Mike Huckabee continues to hold a narrow lead over Mitt Romney.
When politics get personal, look for the Clinton brand.
Hat Tip: Memeorandum.
