Well, we’ll all be talking about this story – really more of a rumor – for a little while. Put me down as a skeptic that the Los Angeles Times would really be able to “sit on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate.” (Allegedly it’s separate from the Enquirer’s claims about John Edwards.)

I just don’t think that the paper that ran a story on Fred Thompson’s playing a white supremacist on the television series Wiseguy is going to suddenly get squeamish when it comes to a sex scandal.

So if we suspect they would run the story if it were Republican. Which leaves a second scandal involving Edwards (two? Would the man be so reckless?), Obama, or Hillary. I don’t think Bill Richardson can accuratelyb be called “a leading Presidential candidate.”
