It’s crucifying time
It’s that tangled web, weaving and deceiving thing again.
The New England Republican’s astute social reporter, M. Hotspur, noticed the foibles of former Prez candidate Hairspray, first.
A murder of crows from the fourth estate descended upon Sen. Craig for his playing footsie with a flatfoot resulting in a misdemeanor plea. The hypocrisy of the episode outraged the MSM. Late night talk shows worked the incident for weeks. A grand crucifixion festooned the front pages of all the papers.
Here trots Elliott Spitzer, Super AG, promoter of righteous behavior and thigh magnets, who chased moneychangers and ill-reputed women. Not much ink wasted here. Talk shows did a perfunctory one-night monologue and moved back to Bush.
[snip] Edwards categorically denied the relationship, stating: “The story is false. It’s completely untrue, ridiculous.” As he rejected the Enquirer’s charges, Edwards was making his wife and their marriage a central component of his campaign. If Edwards had had no affair, he wasn’t a hypocrite, not then and not now.
But if Edwards had an affair and lied about it, shouldn’t he suffer scrutiny akin to that of Craig? At least three-dozen daily newspapers in the United States published the Craig news the day after the Roll Call scoop, according to Nexis, but this morning not a single U.S. daily mentioned the Enquirer piece.

Well ole Chuckie looked at his calendar and found there is room for another Easter! I can cobble some cruciform shape outa cast off rough boards and I have some rusted bent hails ‘round here, no need to worry ‘bout tetanus.
Get Hairspray out front; let him tell us if he channeled Elizabeth while channeling Rielle Hunter. He convinced a jury he could do that very thing with a fetus.
He denied and the cock crowed.
Forget not, this is probably the Chosen One’s Anointed AG Selectee. We cannot have the MSM mucking around in this slop, can we?
Not much chance of that!

As an old newspaper photographer, art is necessary for the story. See the next post.
Our now-deleted troll wet himself over the National Enquirer connection - last Spring he’d dropped a link to Slate and claimed its authority on the matter at hand - but seems to have had nothing to say about the Slate article before he was metaphorically euthanized. The LA Times has also reported on it, but the NYT, so far, is n doubt looking for a way to Handi-Wipe this issue.
Edwards is an oily sleeze, so none of this would surprise me, assuming it’s true. Would the NE risk a libel suit if it didn’t have a game plan? Probably not. That would require a test of paternity. A few commenters at Roger Simon’s blog think there’s a Clinton connection to the revelations.
