(What can I say, I was in college.) Not any more. Not because of the JE-adultery angle, but because The Babymama Formerly Known as Lisa Druck (which was the name I had always heard associated with the AP character) is such an annoying, new-agey bint. * * * * * For anyone actually interested in flipping that Ellis/McInerney coin, I'd say that Ellis's most recent Lunar Park was a pleasant surprise. Not only decently written but willing to make fun of his public persona. McInerney's books aren't bad either, but his social-climbing tendencies are often rather painfully on display. Right, Book Time (TM) now over, thread back on topic ... Damn, I actually owned a copy of The Story of My Life and liked it. (What can I say, I was in college.) Not any more.

I know, because I had an affair with him last year, and he'd never wear a t-shirt like that. Not in a million years. And he's only remaining dead silent about the whole story because, the only thing he hates more than free publicity is opening yet another lawsuit. So stop talking about this story and get a life.

John Edwards doesn't have muscles. I met him in January. He's skinny. Also if the picture was clearer you could see some of the permanent age spots on his face. All I'm saying is if he did this, why isn't there a better picture? Even I can take a picture that no one can dispute. It is easy to take a picture you can identify with out a doubt. Especially as close to him as they were. Any expert can verify this isn't him. Hell, I know it isn't him. Most of the people blogging on Huffington Post know it isn't him. Get glasses. The picture is vague to contine this story and to sell papers. I'm not buying an Enquier. I stopped after Dianna was run off the road. You know one of the men on RH's web site, the younger one not the old one, may have had muscles. I don't have the picture any more. This picture looks staged. Question is did the Enquirer do it or RH and Co? This picture was taken in the hotel room. Who took it. The drapes were closed. Surly a planted camera could take a better picture. Or a person standing in fornt of him could. If this is the best "Spy Camera" has, no wonder the GOV. can't find WMD's. I watched 2 lawyers on Fox (only by UTube) talk about a law suit. They gave the pros and cons but bottom line they agreed this would be a very difficult case to prove and all it would do would be to keep the story going. Neither one felt it was a win situation. The bar for public figures is very high. They thought his time would be better spent with his family considering his wife's illness. Maybe MSM doesn't go with the story because they don't want to be laughed out of town by accusing JE of an affair then show photoshopped pictures as proof. I'm not saying this proves he didn't do it. It's just that these pictures are laughable. The story on MSM ought to be proving or disproving these stupid pictures. The fact is the man in the picture has muscles.

True, the picture isn't very good, but the National Enquirer has decades of experience in being sued, and now runs everything past their lawyers. They're not the Weekly World News faking photos for yucks, and they're not Dan Rather falling naively for poor forgeries. They probably have a signed affidavit from whoever took the photo as proof, if they are ever legally challenged on it. And they probably have more proof they'll dribble out for weeks, to maximize the publicity. And if it is all a fake, isn't it rather telling that Edwards isn't suing for libel...? And to Simon Scowl: Well done and very funny. Edith Ann, I think you are grasping at straws.
