The money line is the last one:

I don’t know.

No kidding. Come back when you have something to tell us.

I was going to say Obama too, but you really can’t know. If Obama had an affair with someone, would that turn off his base? Probably not.

If Romney had an affair, then yes, that would turn off his base.

Or if Rudy turned out to be a man...

If true, it must be a Dem. The left wing media would not hesitate to expose a Repub.

It’s an outside shot. It may not be Obama at all, we don’t know what the scandal is, and we don’t know if this reporter is telling the truth about the LAT story.

I heard from my sister’s neighbor’s cousin’s nephew that Hillary is really Gore in drag.

The irony, which no one seems to notice, is that it was also the LA Times which sat on the big Clinton scandal (can’t recall if it was Monica or Gennifer or Troopergate) long enough for Drudge to finally scoop them. IIRC

Kucinich’s wife (the tall funny looking one in the picture, not the short funny looking one) is a cross dresser?

Nope, the bigger scandal is the coming revelation that John Edwards had an affair. Granted, it is the Enquirer:
Presidential candidate John Edwards is caught in a shocking mistress scandal that could wreck his campaign, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

Sources have come forward to charge that the "other woman" previously worked on Edwards' campaign and followed the 54-year-old candidate on trips across the U.S.

A source close to the woman, whose name is being withheld by The NATIONAL ENQUIRER, says that she confessed to having an affair in phone calls and emails, saying that her work with Edwards soon exploded into romance. The shocking allegation — if proven true — could devastate the Democratic hopeful's campaign, especially because John's devoted wife Elizabeth is locked in a desperate battle with breast cancer.

"The affair started about 18 months ago," a friend says the woman confessed to her. "When they met at a bar, sparks flew immediately.

"She never expected it would turn sexual since John is married and is running for President. But it soon did — and she fell for him."

In one bombshell e-mail message provided to The NATIONAL ENQUIRER, the woman confesses to a friend she's "in love with John," but it's "difficult because he is married and has kids."

In another e-mail, she writes: "Last night and this a.m., he actually has amazed me. He is a great man. My heart is loud and my head is silenced."

Disclosed her friend: "She initially confided in a few of her closest pals that she was sleeping with 'a married man named John.'

"It became clear the married man was John Edwards. They got together whenever they could, mostly at hotels where Edwards and his campaign staff stayed."

The woman later spelled it out in a phone call to her pal and talked openly about having an affair with Edwards.

The friend says the woman told her that she "had a crush on John. One thing led to another, and they soon ended up in bed together. But she knew there was no way he was going to leave Elizabeth, a wife battling cancer."

The ex-Senator's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. This past March, the couple announced her cancer had returned, but said his campaign would continue.

His spokesman said that allegations Edwards had an affair are "false, absolute nonsense."

The woman's friend told The NATIONAL ENQUIRER: "As the affair went on, she said that both she and John began to feel real guilty and they decided to end it."

The ENQUIRER made exhaustive but unsuccessful attempts to reach the woman for comment regarding this article but she would not return phone calls or emails or come to the door of the house where she is staying.

I'd guess either Rudy or Hillary would be the most logical possibilities here.

The Left considers Rudy the Pubbie they like the most. Hillery having a Lesbian affair would not necessarily sink her. The Dem voting public might even approve of her more. I'd guess its Rudy. If Rudy drops out, the Republican primary process finishes earlier, leaving the winner with more time and funds to attack Hillery

It’s Obama. The dirty secret is that he isn’t really black. He just spends more time than necessarily at the tanning salon.

His cover was blown one night when he was spotted at a Barry Manilow concert actually enjoying the music.

That only fits if you consider Dennis to be a “leading candidate”.

If it were any of the Republican candidates it would already be front page news. Since we can all assume its a democrat, my guess its Obama. Ah the truth in media, don’t you just love em!

What I’m really reporting on is the unreported persistence of a schism between the DC media elites and their inside knowledge and the public that is kept in the dark. For their own good? Maybe they’d dismiss it as irrelevant, but shouldn’t they know?

Laughable melodrama. As if he or anyone in the MSM had even one scruple.

The article says that it’s not the Edwards thing.

Hmmm... well the gossip blogs posted a blind item about a current presidential candidate coming home to find his wife in bed with a top staffer from his own campaign. I voted Rudy. :)

I'd always taken it that Bill Clinton liked to watch two women engaged in sex.

Some of those ol gals who said he was "considerate" might be good candidates for some followup interviews to see if that's what he does.

The weird part of this is just imagining Hillary being sexual with... with... with ANYTHING.
