Thank you, National Enquirer!

I never would have imagined that the National Enquirer would break and follow an important political story that was basically ignored for months by the major media, but they did in regard to the John Edward's affair.

Here is some Enquirer coverage.

Here is Kausfiles on why the story is worth paying attention to.

Here is the Seattle Times story (today) covering Edward's admission of the affair.

Old lesson: people who are particularly good at lying through their teeth sort into politics

Other old lesson: what matters is whether something is true, not who said it

Addendum: the Economist is perfect, as always.
