P.S. Actually Byron York has quoted the story in the National Review, in a 'Probably nothing to it but what the hell' kind of a way.

True, but the McCain camp sure reacted to it fast.  Methinks they may be scared.

...adding:

If the NE says you've done something, and you threaten legal action against them, you'd better be damned sure you're right, because, if they think they've got it, they'll laugh the lawsuit away and come at you even harder.

And actually going ahead and suing them is one of the dumbest things someone can do.  As one of the Kossacks put it, suing the NE is like fighting a land war in Asia.

They hit back at this quick, because they know the public will believe it at this point.

So the Edwards story could turn out to benefit the Dems.

LOL

The Enquirer fires back.  Pwnage ensues:

ENQUIRER RESPONDS TO MCCAIN/PALIN
Wed Sep 03 2008 18:19:21 ET

"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. Despite the McCain camp's attempts to control press coverage they find unfavorable, The Enquirer will continue to pursue news on both sides of the political spectrum."

I'd like to point out: The McCain campaign has now gotten into fights with (in order) the NYT, CNN and now the National Enquirer.

By Friday they'll be debating DC Comics.

I didn't know rabbits could speak.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
