If the Enquirer was right about John Edwards, chances are they're right about Sarah Palin, f*cking around with her husband's business partner.

Now it's moved from the Enquirer to the Washington Post.

Is this family hot or what? If the lose the election, they should get a reality series.

Media Notes
McCain Aide Rips Tabloid Report
By Howard Kurtz

ST. PAUL -- John McCain's top strategist today denounced a report in the National Enquirer, hours after it was published, as "disgraceful."

"The smearing of the Palin family must end," spokesman Steve Schmidt said in an e-mail distributed to journalists.

The Enquirer, which exposed John Edwards's extramarital affair, cited unnamed sources in alleging that the Alaska governor had an affair with a business associate of her "fisherman husband," Todd Palin -- the story doesn't say when -- and that he found out and severed relations with the man.

"The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false," Schmidt said. "It is a vicious lie. Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country. She is a proven leader, an accomplished executive, a champion for ethics reform, and a fighter against corruption. The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it."

The mainstream media might well have ignored the unsubstantiated allegation, as they did for eight months in the Edwards saga. But the McCain's team quick response in defending the Arizona senator's running mate had the effect, intentionally or otherwise, of giving the story more prominence.

Schmidt, who told The Washington Post Tuesday that the news media are "on a mission to destroy" Palin, lumped the media and tabloids together in his blast against the Enquirer.

The supermarket tabloid also deals with the pregnancy of Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, which the governor acknowledged Monday. The tabloid quotes an insider as saying that the governor wanted to announce that Bristol was expecting and had set a wedding date before McCain went public with his vice-presidential choice. But, the story says, the baby's father, high school student Levi Johnston, balked at the plan.

I bet the guy is hot too. All of the men in this story are hot.

They don't say that she never had an affair with the guy. They say that the allegations are false. Not at all the same thing.

Like mother, like daughter, I guess.

Anyone ready with some stones to carry out some Old Testament justice?

Roscoe, does that mean that the hubby was okay with it and wanted a piece of the guy too? It's sort of like the McGreeveys!

Doodle, I doubt that they're that open-minded. We're talking Christians here, they don't play that.

Please. She could be filmed fellating a moose and all would be forgiven if she "repented."

They play that, but because they have Jesus, they're forgiven.

Look at Sandi Patti, Twila Paris, Michael English, Ted Haggard et al..all prominent within their own Christian entertainment or theological circles. Only Haggard really seems to be paying a price for it and even with him, they said he was "cured" after intense counseling.

I can't wait to see the Lifetime movie of her life...Megan Mullaly can play her...Wilfred Brimley can play John McCain...

"You know, Sarah, I have diabeetus..."

[broadwayjim42]

Posted: 9/4/08 at 10:55am

We need someone really stiff to reflect McCain's body language...maybe a clean-shaven, latexed up Chuck Norris.

Brimley's too old and bulky for the part now.

Lesley Ann Warren would be a perfect Palin if this all went on 10 or 15 years ago.

Nawwww! Kelly Ripa in a role (and a wig) that will surprise you...

Guest starring Mary Louise Wilson as Roberta McCain?

Posted: 9/4/08 at 11:00am

It's all a liberal media plot to destroy her because we can't stand virtue and conservative values.

Who would you cast as Plastic Cindy?

Barbie's grandma

Barbie...They're about the same age.

"The National Enquirer's coverage of a vicious war within Sarah Palin's extended family includes several newsworthy revelations, including the resulting incredible charge of an affair plus details of family strife when the Governor's daughter revealed her pregnancy. Following our John Edwards' exclusives, our political reporting has obviously proven to be more detail-oriented than the McCain campaign's vetting process."



BURN!

Todd Palin looks an awful lot like Peter Reckell (Bo Brady on Days of Our Lives).

do you remember on Cheers Woody's girlfriend Kelly? Cindy kinda reminds me of her...pretty, waspish, and a glazed over look in her eyes...and Mary Louise Wilson as his mom is perfect casting

I'd bet the farm that Trak Palin didn't enlist in the Army because he was patriotic. Family is nuts!

Roger Simon apologizes to Sarah on behalf of the media:

"We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked.

We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is her record? Where does she stand on the issues? And is she is qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

We have asked mean questions like: How well did John McCain know her before he selected her? How well did his campaign vet her? And was she his first choice?

Bad questions. Bad media. Bad.

....We should stop making with all the questions already. She gave a really good speech. And why go beyond that? As we all know, speeches cannot be written by others and rehearsed for days. They are true windows to the soul.

Unless they are delivered by Barack Obama, that is. In which case, as Palin said Wednesday, speeches are just a “cloud of rhetoric.”

Fifth, we should stop reporting on the families of the candidates. Unless the candidates want us to.

Sarah Palin wanted the media to report on her teenage son, Track, who enlisted in the Army on Sept. 11, 2007, and soon will deploy to Iraq.

Sarah Palin did not want the media to report on her teenage daughter, Bristol, who is pregnant and unmarried.

Sarah Palin thinks that one is good for her campaign and one is not, and that the media should report only on what is good for her campaign. That is our job, and that is our duty. If that is not actually in the Constitution, it should be. (And someday may be.)


Bad Media. Bad!

For Cindy, I'd cast Tilda Swinton, in her full make-up and wardrobe from the Narnia movie, only with less interesting hair.

Heather Thomas is in her early fifties now. She kind of looks like Cindy.

Posted: 9/4/08 at 12:16pm

don't forget about the other Heather, Locklear that is.
