I dare suggest....

....that the evident and obvious failure of the mainstream media to follow up on apparently obvious signs of John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter ought to blow a permanent hole in any pretense that the mainstream media are not materially changing their reporting to support their bias. One would think that basic sympathy with Mrs. Edwards would have compelled them to blow the story open and torpedo any chances Edwards had of remaining in politics, but evidently liberal politics overcomes principles of basic decency--at least at the AP, CBS, NBC, and elsewhere.

Plan accordingly, and (I shudder to type this) thank you, National Enquirer, for keeping this man accountable when "real journalists" would not.

I hope we'll be kept waiting a long time on that one. Ewwww.....

Since it evidently exists, though, it seems that Edwards has got to be the dumbest cheating politician out there since Gary "Catch me if you can" Hart. Thankfully for the nation, both of these idiots were in fact caught.

(both with the help of the Enquirer....go figure)
