I know someone who's friend thinks they saw Todd Palin killing puppies!!

[AGreatPer]

Why didn’t they ask the obvious, SHAILEY TRIPP?

[SeekAndFind]

RE: The sources themselves probably don’t have money, and so would be judgment-proof against any libel suit.

The Enquirer is BANKRUPT.

They are desperate to print anything in order to sell papers. What better way to sell papers than to have Sarah Palin’s name on the headlines ?

It’s like Al Franken trying to sell one of his books. It would not have sold had the name “Rush Limbaugh” not been on the title.

Bat Boy thinks this smells like guano.

[blackdog]

As long as he's not wanking off in the oval office sink while some nymphomaniac intern is delivering pizza's and cigars, I really don't care what Todd Palin does with his happy endings masseusse.

The media didn't seem to care when Clinton wanked off in the oval office, why should we care what some public person in Alaska did with his DNA?

[frithguild]

Need more evidence to judge guilt or innocence.

[Allegra]

I make it a habit not to believe anything from anonymous sources.

[allmendream]

Well yes, but what makes the Enquirer not “legitimate” to most journalists is that they PAY those anonymous sources, and (supposedly) the MSM doesn't (or they just make them up “Some GOP insiders say _________” (insert what I want to be said, but want to claim has the credibility of someone who is both conservative and has inside knowledge (unlike the journalist who is obviously liberal and ignorant)).

[longfellow]

To be fair they were the ones who nailed edwards too.

[fish hawk]

This scenario would be fantastic if it were to happen: All the media spent almost %100 of their time on the Palins right up to the 2012 election, figuring that she will be the front runner (and she may). All the vitriol is spent on trying to bring her down, while secretly, some other future candidate, like Pence, Rubio etc. stays out of harms way and then close to election time slides right in as the Republican nominee. What a joke on the main scream media. Palin is strong to take the hits and actually help the Tea Party Nominee slip in there. That is just a thought I had. At any rate, I do love that woman. (and her family)

[blackdog]

Does anyone find the woman's name to be just titilating?

Tripp? Some stories just write themselves.

[Jemian]

Ping to the list.

[9YearLurker]

Okay, so the VV repeated/published the story. But they also put it in the most fair/skeptical context that I’ve seen so far among the repeaters and publishers (which would include the NE, NY Daily News, Boston Herald, and I forget what Brit paper I saw it in). The NY Daily News is the one that did the most dirty work outside of the NE, but jumping the story to the ‘legit press’.

[murdoog]

I don’t know a lot about Todd, but I think he is too smart to cheat on a woman as proficient with firearms as Sarah Palin is.

[9YearLurker]

Is that really the guy’s name, Joe Crummey?

[F.J. Mitchell]

The vipers are all over the place. Not only the Palins but everyone needs to wear hightop boots for the next couple of years. they will not only protect us from the vipers but from the Bull Sh*t they are swimming in.

[JaguarXKE]

Exactly

[madison10]

Not only that, but Sarah is beautiful. Cheating would be stupid, IMO.

(But then I’m NOT a guy, so I understand there is NO logic when it comes to cheating...)

[wbill]

When The Enquirer did this to Edwards, FReepers everywhere exulted. "Tabloids doing the jobs that 'real' journalists won't do!! Paragon of Journalism!" etc etc etc.

Now, with Palin, The Enquirer is a sneaky, underhanded democrat mouthpiece.

Fascinating to watch. Frankly, I don't care. Although I suspect that it's a quiet day in the Palin household today.

My Opinion? The Enquirer throws darts and got lucky with Edwards. Although, it really wasn't a long stretch....good looking narcissist, long times away from his wife and so on.

[Conan the Conservative]

The Enquirer has a good track record on this type of reporting but thus far they have NOT put out a story on this. The Village Voice is speculating on an unreported story.
