National Enquirer Fingers John Boehner for Extramarital Affair

John Boner Boehner's last name may become even funnier than it already is. Boehner is already such a clown-car full of comedy gold: his skin is orange, he cries profusely, he's seemingly permanently drunk, he has a disturbing facial tic, he shouts, "Hell no, you can't!!!"  What else could he do to draw the attention of late night comics, liberal bloggers and political enemies? Well, possibly stick his Boehner were he shouldn't. . .

John McCain Feeding National Enquirer Stories?

I heard on the radio today that John McCain was threatening to sue The National Enquirer for a story they're set to do on VP pick, Sarah Palin. Though I listen to liberal talk radio all day, and watch MSNBC, I've heard next to nothing about the details of that lawsuit. So I think talk of some liberal media vendetta "out to get" Palin are simply untrue.

Interestingly, as the editorial excerpted below notes, it is possible that the McCain campaign is planting some of this stuff out there. Either it's a ploy to get people to feel that Sarah Palin is being treated unfairly, or maybe he thinks any publicity is good publicity. Either way, it's kinda underhanded and shady, don't you think?
