Ann Coulter did her best to drop a bomb on the October 10 episode of "Tucker" on MSNBC. At the conclusion of her interview, Ann Coulter announced that the National Enquirer was just reporting that John Edwards had an 18-month affair while on the campaign trail. You can read the story here.
Before going any further, this allegation must be met with a healthy degree of skepticism. First of all, the story is originating from the National Enquirer, which in and of itself, raises questions as to the story's reliability. Secondly, Coulter had a notorious run-in earlier this year with Elizabeth Edwards on an MSNBC episode of "Harball." Coulter would have every motivation to repeat a salacious tabloid sex allegation about John Edwards.

Agreed.
The Enquirer is not an illegal publication...one can not be sued for merely mentioning its contents.
Who was the lucky guy?
Yeah, and all Rush did was say a phony soldier was a phony soldier. Since when did the RATs let truth and accuracy enter into it? They got the sound bite from Ann that they wanted and we’ll see where it goes. Of course, Ann is a big girl (be still my heart!) and can take care of herself.
He was leading in Iowa. If Hillary's behind this I wonder who her real target is...John or Elizabeth?
If the National Enquirer is running this and reporting it as fact it's probably true. Ever since Carol Burnett sued them they've been very careful.
In the Senate, they trash Bush by quoting from the NY Times, and read what the DNC Morning Talking Points memo sent to the NY Times says.
What’ll really be interesting to see is what Mrs. Edwards does. And to whom...
Yes it does. So how badly does Johnnie want that position, enough to really take her on or just whine about some mean vast right wing conspiracy?
Ann is always helping out the Edwards campaign. I wonder if she gets a cut, or if she just wants to breath some life into the Rat field?
What are you talking about? She said John Edwards had an affair she just never mentioned his name.
Didn't the Enquirer or Star expose the Gennifer Flowers incident and were correct?
“I heard her say Duncan Hunter on one of the shows.”
She has said several times she is for Duncan.
Well not even the GOP contenders are interested in discussing what a "CROOK" (little Nixon language) Hillry and crew are.
Maybe this was like “The Firm” who set him up....the Rose Law Firm....carrying out the orders of the boss....got Mr.Edwards in a compromising situation....got the photo,...now he will do what Hitlery requires of him?
Why is every story from Coulter or Maltin on FR filled with these pictures? It’s getting pretty old.
I guess I should be thankful it’s not a Bob Novak or Dick Morris story. :P
As far as Hillary, why would she want to bring up something like this because her own impeached husband was getting b-jobs in the house they lived in? Oh, wait, my bad. The MSM won't even bring up that Bill Clinton was having an affair.
Yep, Hillary's investigators are behind this.
Edwards had an affair? John Kerry is going to be really angry when he learns that John Jr. has been cheating on him.
Was it a gay affair?
As if John Edwards really mattered anyway.
