Barely has the self-proclaimed pit bull with lipstick finished a rousing speech to the Republican National Convention delegates, and already the National Enquirer claims that it has a honey of a story sure to pull the plug on Sara Palin.

National Enquirer Sarah Palin Affair

Among the "40 ways to be richer by next year," the National Enquirer promises insights in Sarah Palin's shady mysteries, including an affair! The Sarah Palin affair allegedly took place with a business partner of her husband - or so the National Enquirer would have you believe - and the UK Telegraph puts it best when it reminds readers that the article is attributed to "unnamed sources."

In its last issue, the gossip rag reported on Governor Palin's pregnant daughter and seemed to have an amazing amount of insight. Giving itself away, it mentioned Mike Wooten, the man accused of reportedly tasering an 11-year old and allegedly threatening Palin and her family after undergoing a messy divorce from Palin's sister. The National Inquirer alleges that it is this situation that has given rise to a number of sources to approach the rag with jaw-dropping allegations.

The salacious allegations will be available from the National Enquirer in a Sarah Palin affair story, and even though the numerous unnamed sources are sure to make for less than factual accounts, it will most certainly give satisfaction to those out to discredit, destroy and smear McCain's running mate while at the same time leave the NE raking in the dough.

But What about the John Edwards Affair?

It would be simplistic to state that the National Enquirer does not get its facts straight sometimes. Take for example the fact that former Democratic nomination hopeful John Edwards and his honey Rielle Hunter had some things to discuss at the Beverly Hilton. When Edwards was ready to leave, the National Enquirer was there, and the rest is a messy apology tour by the former, and lots of tabloid sales by the latter.

How About the Cameron Diaz Apology?

I'm glad that Britain has finally started to put some teeth behind their libel laws. Hopefully, the US will do the same. Journalists should be accountable for what they write.

Hey Mr. History teacher Guy.How does an investigation about a possible shady real estate deal turn into an inquisition about sex between two consenting adults? And since you're on the subject of lying,If Bubba had lied..., say about....,masturbating as a young adolescent before a grand jury could he have beeb impeached for that.I'm serious, as I think that whole impeachment thing showed how utterly ridiculous the so called "moral majority "acted!

Hey dude you seem to know more about obama than his own mama. Did you hire a detective agency or get this info through the"MEDIA"

Where is the press when the story broke about 3 gay men, who were murdered within 40 days of each other, that all attended the church that Obama attended. Where is the press digging into the story about Obama's alleged birth certificate, with the certificate number blacked out, and the embossed seal missing? Where is the press , digging into the shady deal on the Obama's purchase of their million dollar home? Where is the press, when a lawsuit against Obama went into motion, alleging he's not a legal citizen of this country? Where is the press when he was recorded, saying his daughter at 3 loves a rap son, riddled with profanity, offensive lyrics, and is degrading to women? Where is the press , digging into the story of Obama's middle east connections, and why? Where is the press, digging into his relationship with Bill Ayres? All of these stories, and not one has been told by the mainstream media, and some actually deal with our National Security if this man is

Just for clarification, the primary issue with Clinton was that he lied at a Federal Grand Jury hearing regarding a sexual harrassment and rape charge. As far as Edwards goes, I didn't care about that- that's his problem. The Clinton issue requires context though

i hate stories like these, especially if they aren't true. it makes legitimate stories about palin seem like lies too. there are plenty of real things that should be questioned. earmarks. troopergate. creationism in public schools. 6 years to get a degree in journalism. banning books. firing people. global warming isn't real. she is way out there in christian right wing land!!!

It will be interested to see if they have any factual information behind the allegations.

Interesting angle!

When it comes to rags like The National Enquirer, all bets are off. I do remember when Bill Cosby went to them first and broke a story on his own family. On the other hand, they've been sued for some gross inaccuracies. Glad to see you noting when they hit the target and when they missed completely :)

Unfortunately, papers can print virtually anything these days, and bury their retractions in the far reaches of their rags vs. putting their mea culpa on the front page. Worse, the accusation is enough to stick in people's minds and then there are those who read the first report, assume it is true, and never seem to find that retraction to the contrary. I agree that libel laws need to be tightened in this country, the press should be free, but not free to smear politicians and celebrities with innuendo without a clear financial stiff financial penalty, enough to hurt their bottom lines, when their stories prove false.
