Why You Can't Trust The National Enquirer


Because of stories like this:


PRESIDENTIAL CHEATING SCANDAL! ALLEGED AFFAIR COULD WRECK JOHN EDWARDS' CAMPAIGN BID

Puh-leeze. What utter nonsense.

John Edwards affair didn't kill any chance he had to become president. His limited intellect and high-school-liberal ideology did that. He hasn't had a shot at winning the nomination in months. Anyone check the polls lately? The guy's barely out of single digits.

The disclosure that he's been cheating on his cancer-striken wife at the same time he's been dragging her around the country (and away from her doctors) to flog his dead horse of a campaign certainly doesn't help. But the Enquirer is one step away from "I'm Carrying Bigfoot's Love Child" when they suggest that the Edwards campaign was anything other than DOA.

UPDATE: And with a WOMAN, too! Take that, Ann Coulter!
UPDATE II: Editorial writer Brad Warthen of Edwards' home state, South Carolina, revealed the real John Edwards back in August.
