Thank God for the National Enquirer

It's great to have the media on top of these issues. Even if it has to be somewhat out of the mainstream. Say what you will about the National Enquirer, they caught John Edwards dead to rights and finally got a partial confession out of the loser.

Now they've got their sights on John McCain's unvetted vice presidential pick, Sarah (No Scandal Left Behind) Palin. When you're in Alaska, romping freely on the tundra, no one cares what you do. But when your life is held up to the light of day -- especially when you're basically unknown -- suddenly we care.

The details are salacious, and for this we have John McCain to thank, or, rather, to curse under our breath. The crazy guy couldn't just pick someone actually qualified to step in as president on a moment's notice. He had to think so far outside the box the box wasn't even in the picture! I guarantee you John McCain is kicking himself, "Dumb, stupid, dumb, idiot!"

About the pregnancy of Palin's daughter, the National Enquirer says they were going to break the story and that's why Palin finally came forward:

The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news.

They also tease us that there's more, which are included in the new issue of The Enquirer, saying:

The ENQUIRER has also learned that Palin’s family is embroiled in a vicious war that is now exposing her darkest secrets, threatening to destroy her political career.

The rest of the media gets to play catch up. So we're happy we have the National Enquirer and the blogs to lead the way.
