The Double-Secret Probation, Delta-Force Level Total News Blackout On John Edwards

From Ann Coulter:

A Washington Post reporter defended the total blackout on the National Enquirer's John Edwards' love child story, telling the Times of London: "Edwards is no longer an elected official and he is not running for office now. Don't expect wall-to-wall coverage." This was the perfect guy to talk to because if there's one thing they're careful about in London, it's tabloid excess.

Isn't there some level of coverage between "wall-to-wall" and "double-secret probation, delta-force level total news blackout" when it comes to a sex scandal involving a current Democratic vice presidential and Cabinet prospect?

Hey, what sort of "elected official" was Ted Haggard again? He was the Christian minister no one outside of his own parish had ever heard of until he was caught in a gay sex scandal last year. Then he suddenly became the Pope of the Protestants. And yet, despite the fact that Haggard was not an "elected official," the Post gave that story wall-to-wall coverage. And what sort of "elected officials" were Mel Gibson, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Bennett?

What's the bigger story: Haggard announcing he's not gay (again), or if Haggard someday announces he's gay or bisexual? Did Rush ever do a press conference on his blue-pill trip to warmer climes? Where's the inquiry into what form of protection was or wasn't used by Young or Edwards? Was this a contraceptive failure?

Rush Limbaugh had an affair? Or is he a Democratic vice presidential prospect? Which would be the bigger scandal?

sarge here, I think the rush blue pill trip is a nod to a flight to a certain country known for the availability of young boy toys... that would be the main point...pedophelia...and oxycontin fired impotence all at the same time. btw whats with this man colter lady? she looks like a gawky teenage boy to this old sarge. what is it about conservatives and basking in the dim light of the closet?

Sarge makes the case, albeit inadvertently, for much stricter drug laws.
