NO, NO, NO! NOT THAT SCANDAL.
NOT THE ONE ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING OUR GRAND CHILDREN'S MONEY---money they don't have but are binging on anyway, like a drunk with a bottle. And not the one about Treasury's Geithner printing new dollar bills 24/7/365 all the while devaluing every one now in our shrinking pockets. And no, it's not the one about pushing through a gargantuan healthcare reform bill no one had read or understood and that purportedly gives special treatment to all Muslims by letting them opt out of enforcement for 'religious reasons'.
NO, NO.
The scandal The National Enquirer is coming out with today is not really all that important. No big deal. So don't believe one single word you read. Or hear. The Enquirer rarely gets it right anyway and video cams in hotel hallways and stairs never tell the real truth. Be forewarned, this is just another silly, attempted smear and innuendo on a man--The One--- we all know is above the laws of nature, of God and of man. He makes the laws. And we'd best not forget it!
Anyway, the Enquirer has a long track record of being wrong when it comes to exposing secret dalliances between hungry, predatory politicians looking for exotic, seductive love and most of all sex with beautiful, available women in all the wrong (right?) places.
Nothing new here. In fact this so-called scandal has been whispered about for several years now. Certainly seems like nothing to write home about. If you don't believe me, just ask John the Edwardian lover.
So turn off your computer now, back away in the grocery line, hide your eyes and put on your earplugs for the next few news cycles. It'll die down Jacklyn. Cause it's nothing but a pack of lies, propagated no doubt by Bush, Tea party propagandists and those evil, evil obstructionist Republicans.
In any and all events, I pray this story is not true. Because among many other things, it will focus the fickle American attention away from real and pressing issues that all political parties need to address.
I'm going to apologize here for something I almost did.
ReplyDeleteI nearly made a snotty comment "And Viva all those who hide behind Anonymous when making comments."
On reflection, I can imagine circumstances where someone might have something to contribute, but have very good reasons for not exposing his identity to all and sundry.
So, I will have to reconsider my abhorrence to "Anonymous" comments.
On the other hand, the snotty comment I was going to use seems entirely appropriate for those who attack others while so hiding.
In the case of the commenter at the top, I'm imagining an invisible smiley at the end of his second line ("When you call me that, Smile!"), so we're cool.

Thanks, Paul. I actually don't usually publish anon comments unless they're rarely short and wonderful like the one above. I'm sure it was meant as an insult which makes it even more delicious and fun!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of weird news, did you hear Limbaugh saying the oil spill was due to sabotage by 'environmental wackos.' Mark Levin said the oil spill is the beginning of Obama's government takeover of the US oil industry. You wonder what sort of people believe what these guys say.
ReplyDeleteI loved that BUBBA story!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the Enquirer story. However, I must point out that there have been times when the Enquirer has been right, when no one else in the media was even anywhere near the story. You mentioned John Edwards. The Enquirer did all the leg work on that story, and was way out in front of the dominant liberal media. Ditto the O.J. Simpson murder of his ex-wife. Remember when O.J. proclaimed that he would never wear those "ugly ass" Bruno Magli shoes that the murderer wore? The Enquirer immediately dug into their archives and found O.J. wearing Bruno Maglis while working the sidelines of a football game as a reporter for NBC T.V.
I also believe that the Enquirer is sometimes equally as deliberately misleading as, oh, say, the New York Times.
