Rumors in the National Peeping Tom are that
several talking heads or their partners are having affairs. Rumor #1 - Cokie's husband had a few interns. I don't have any evidence but who needs that - it is rumored. Rumor #2 - Katie has slept with several women's husbands - it is rumored? Rumor #3 - lots of talking head men are sleeping with junior staff at their corporation offices while their wives don't know - so the rumor goes? Can DUers please update the list and provide some more details or some more rumors. Remember some lies have all the luck.

1. Bob Woodward is a serial adulterer
Just saying - everyone in the biz knows it, and there was even a movie made about it.

2. No rumors to add here but I do have the sense that talking heads
are thanking their lucky stars it wasn't them that was caught!

3. Seriously, whats the matter with you?
It really makes me mad when people try to excuse Edwards affair and coverup by saying oh well McCain did it too or others have done it too.

5. I believe in democracy
Let's have all the affairs out in the open. The Peeping Tom is 'fair and balanced'.

10. simple: what's good for the goose is good for the gander
the media is extremely biased towards airing out the democrats' dirty laundry, especially when it comes to sex and not the republicans.

14. Edwards was a huge public figure
And yes he covered up his affair to the extent that he could and I bet you he is covering up a whole lot more. I am not seeing anything wrong with the coverage. If this was Romney you would see the DUers bursting in joy and making thread after thread on why media does not cover the story even further. :eyes:

15. It is a story in part because Edwards was a viable choice for VP
was, that is. Had he gone the way of Gravel, it would be a minor story.

18. Do you recall how big a story it was for MSM when Edwards endorsed Obama?
Nobody really cared who Romney or Gravel endorsed in the primaries.

21. People forget that early on, Edwards was the odds-on favorite
And it was shocking that he lost the tune-ups so badly.

16. nope... not trying to cover up
just pointing out that the media is biased and you are helping... What Edwards did was wrong to his family, not you or me. Lose the feigned outrage...

22. He used PAC money to pay off this girl
He met this woman in a bar and gave her a movie production job eventhough she had no credentials. He lied to the Democrats about his affair while running for president. Next time you wish to defend JE by blaming the media or anyone else, remember that he brought this upon himself and yet LIED while the "tabloid trash" had their story right.

23. How Could I Cover for this Guy... nobody is excusing his actions
get all pissed... go ahead if it makes you feel better, but the man is paying for it regardless of how you or I feel about it. It's just another story which sensationalism seems to get the better of folks. So much feigned outrage... you play right into the media's hand. PS - I think what Edwards did was foolish and immoral but I feel no need to jump on the bandwagon to make this issue bigger than the media has already made it. And you should realize it is impossible for me to cover for the guy since it's being aired out in the mass media.

8. So you've lost patience with the 'Bush lied' thing, huh?
If we can't impeach the president for lying us into war, at least we can avenge Edwards by exposing the weather guy at KWTF in Terre Haute? Gotcha.

13. Maybe if we focus on both
they may get their fugging priorities in order and investigate the Bush lies with the same enthusiasm they investigate Democratic scandals. Vitter's prostitute is dead - did they investigate that - no Jebus forgave him - move on.

12. I heard that Bill O'Reilly secually harrassed a producer
Seems it had something to do with Falafels, which is a pretty sick food fetish if you ask me.
