I read somewhere else that Flynt is about to push Mitch McConnell “out of the closet”. Actually, I believe it was a thread on FR yesterday.

I think this Flynt thing is separate from the “juicy” rumor the elites are sitting on, whatever that may be.

I think you're onto the scent.

Rosenbaum's being conflicted over *relevance*...

But I don’t know if it’s true and I can’t decide if I think it’s relevant.

...hints strongly at it being something homosexual. It also suggests the object of the rumor is a Democrat. Media people know this would hurt the Democrat, so they are loathe to report it. They justify not reporting it with the PC derived rationalization that it's not newsworthy -- i.e. that it's not relevant. The problem is that the public would certainly find it relevant and newsworthy, so that's not a very good excuse. Hence their dilemma.

A female mistress “scandal” would be the best thing that could happen to Pink Sapphire. Too bad for him that no one would believe it...

You know the REAL SHOCKING SCANDAL here?

I don’t know, don’t care, have no curiosity. I am scandaled out. It is pitiful when scandals no longer hold any interest.

I am more interested in the buildup to Iran.

The same anonymous source cited by the LA Times and NY Times and Washington Post told me that Rudi has an underage gay lover, that McCain was sodomized in the Hanoi Hilton, that Obama was a catamite to an Islamic Mullah’s pedarasty, that Hillary used rophies to date-rape young interns, and that Mitt had a standy fluffer while Governor.

...but unlike the LA Times and NY Times and Washington Post, I don’t trust “anonymous sources.” So I don’t buy any of it.

"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!"

I didn't finish the movie "Man of the Year" because I hated it so much, but I DID enjoy the Robin Williams character dumping EVERYTHING bad he ever did publicly, just to get it out of the way. If I ever ran for office I'd have a private eye check out everything out there on me. Every republican HAS to know that the media will dig up even the most obscure details on their private life. Larry Flynt brags about "getting" republicans and offers big time $ for information. If it's Romney or Fred they can't play stupid. They need to get it out NOW. BTW, I agree that the odds are it's a dem. It's way too early to spring a bombshell on a republican candidate.

The Clinton’s are ALWAYS SUSPECT, and per Occam’s Razor, the guilty party or parties.

Except that Rosenabaum says this story is one I never heard in this specific form before.

What is there that hasn't been alleged about either Clinton? Camels? Penguins? Each Other?

Huma’s a beauty. She travels everywhere with Hillary. She’s Saudi. The story about her said she just bought an apt but the apt is NOT one someone with Huma’s reported wealth would ver live in. I think it may well be Huma.
