Anyone care to apologize to the National Enquirer?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
I had a conversation with my local 7-11 attendant about the national Enquirer about 2 or 3 months ago. I was depressed about Hillary losing and went there to buy a pack of cigarettes (I smoke about once every 2-3 years).
The guy works probably 9pm-9am on the week ends, for the last 8 or 9 years. I told him he could learn some software skills by picking up one of those technical guides and get a better paying job, but he said he can't even afford to buy a computer. I asked him what he did at 7-11, it seemed pretty boring, and I saw that he was reading a copy of the National Enquirer. "Is the stuff in there really accurate?"
"You'd be surprised," he told me. "The National Enquirer goes and searches out for stories that other media outlets won't touch,"
I mentioned
All the President's Men and how Redford and Hoffman had to get four sources before they could publish on Watergate.
"Of course, the government's smart now, if they want to leak a story, they will give a reporter what seems to be four sources, but it will really be one source," he said.
I asked him how he judged whether the stories were accurate. He said you can usually tell by how the story is written. How outlandish is what is being said? If it's about UFO's, it's probably not accurate. If there were a lot of different people saying the same thing, it's probably true. This made sense. Although I don't read the National Enquirer, the 7-11 attendant helped me understand why people do.
Hunter is a step up from Elizabeth Edwards, no? (Yes, the more recent pictures of Hunter are much worse, but that was during / after she was pregnant.)
Isn't that picture of Edwards from during her cancer treatment?
Probably, but older women are not hot unless they go extremely artificial. That's just how it is. Elizabeth was a smoking bun when she was younger (as is her daughter now).
It is understandable that a man with power and success would feel that he should be able to get some other ass, especially if there is no emotional attachment involved and he remains loyal financially to his wife as well.
In Edwards' case though, his sin was political, not sexual. He should have known better after the Clinton Presidency. Instead, he risked his ideals, his supporters' faith, and his country in order to satisfy his lust, and that shows his priorities, unfortunately.
