WHO? Speculations please!

a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that “everyone knows” The LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate. “Everyone knows” meaning everyone in the DC mainstream media political reporting world.

2. My money is on Giuliani. Who wants some of this action?

[Tektonik]

3. Hopefully it's released now or never released

Unless a crime was committed it is none of our business, but I'd rather see a potential bombshell unleashed during the primaries than taint a possible nominee.

[Frances]

4. I have no idea who this would be, but

the leading Dem candidates are Hillary, Obama, and Edwards. The Leading Repubs are Guiliani, Romney, McCain, and Thompson. I don't think it's Guiliani because his sexual past is so bad that I don't think a new allegation would mean that much.

5. If it's a "family values" Repug they ought to release the story

In cases like this I generally believe private matters are not important. But if it's someone who's been cramming "family values" and "christian morals" down our throats, they need to be shown for the hypocrite they are.

6. It's probably one of the candidates the bashers are supporting.

he has gone down the drain so fast there must be something on his mind to distract him.

[Bluebear]

7. Who are "the bashers"?

[TwilightGardener]

10. I'm guessing she's referring to Obama and his supporters.

[Blackhatjack]

8. There are so many 'Rudy in Drag' Pics To Choose From...

... I doubt people would be surprised as anything Giuliani might have done.

More telling is Rudy's close relationship with Kerik who is going to be indicted.

[Wapsie B]

9. I'm betting either Rudy or Freddy.

If everyone inside the beltway knows, why hasn't this been reported before now? And for those who say that this is only about sex I say Monica changed everything. I wanna know whether Newt's humping some staffer from Iowa,Jeff Gannon, Larry Craig, or anything else of an adult nature. If we're going to go all puritan about public officials and sex let's go all the way. Everything out in the open.

11. jesus christ it`s the pajamas-media!

why would anyone take anything these people write as creditable? the founder of "little green footballs" media empire as a legitimate source?

[Lex]

12. does this blog you linked have any credibility?

:shrug:

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. Don't know.

:think:

[regnaD kciN]

13. Let me guess...

...it involves Hillary, Vince Foster, and Janet Reno. Right? :eyes:

(To clarify: Although I'm not a fan of Hillary, this particular piece of despicable B.S. -- about a supposed bisexual triangle involving the three -- has long been a canard of the far right.)

[gateley]

15. JANET RENO??? nt

[regnaD kciN]

21. Yep...

One of the standard Puke smears (I believe originally from Michael Reagan, which is hardly surprising) was that Vince Foster killed himself in despair after Hillary broke off their affair because she had become involved with Janet Reno. (Reagan's follow-up quip was that, if anyone told him they found Janet Reno more attractive than him, he'd shoot himself, too.) :puke:

[gateley]

25. He is one weird fuck. Thanks for filling me in. nt

[frebrd]

14. Frankly, I'm bored to tears with "Sexual Scandals"

I couldn't care less!

[CK_John]

16. It could be about a candidates wife. n/t

[Basileus Basileon]

18. Bettin' it's Freddy. There have been plenty of rumors

about a "colorful and wide-ranging" sexual life. Rudy's issues are already well known.

[Cronus Protagonist]

19. Romney's in the closet

Just call it a hunch.

:P

[Senator]

26. I thought they were saving that...

...to shuttle Jeb in, post-nomination.

(Also hunch-based.)

20. It ain't a Democrat

or they wouldn't be "sitting on" the story. After all the Foley, Vitter, Craig and other repub sex scandals you know the LA Times is fuckin dying to bust one on the Dems. I'm guessing it's Thompson or Romney and there is big time pressure being put on the editors to keep this under wraps. It may be total bullshit but if there is anything to it it's got to be one of the leading pubs.

24. no shit.

even if it was only gravel, it woulda been in the gnews.

but they are holding it. could it be huckabee?

[begin_within]

22. Pat Paulsen was a transvestite?

[Richard D]

23. It's Hillary for sure . . .

. . . she probably had sex with Bill.
