McCain Aide Rips Tabloid Report
By Howard Kurtz
ST. PAUL -- John McCain's top strategist today denounced a report in the National Enquirer, hours after it was published, as "disgraceful."
"The smearing of the Palin family must end," spokesman Steve Schmidt said in an e-mail distributed to journalists.
The Enquirer, which exposed John Edwards's extramarital affair, cited unnamed sources in alleging that the Alaska governor had an affair with a business associate of her "fisherman husband," Todd Palin -- the story doesn't say when -- and that he found out and severed relations with the man.
"The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false," Schmidt said. "It is a vicious lie. Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country. She is a proven leader, an accomplished executive, a champion for ethics reform, and a fighter against corruption. The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it."
The mainstream media might well have ignored the unsubstantiated allegation, as they did for eight months in the Edwards saga. But the McCain's team quick response in defending the Arizona senator's running mate had the effect, intentionally or otherwise, of giving the story more prominence.
Schmidt, who told The Washington Post Tuesday that the news media are "on a mission to destroy" Palin, lumped the media and tabloids together in his blast against the Enquirer.
The supermarket tabloid also deals with the pregnancy of Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, which the governor acknowledged Monday. The tabloid quotes an insider as saying that the governor wanted to announce that Bristol was expecting and had set a wedding date before McCain went public with his vice-presidential choice. But, the story says, the baby's father, high school student Levi Johnston, balked at the plan.

Sarah Palin has displaced Barack, Britney, Lindsay and other celebs on the covers of the 4 major tabloid magazines coming out tomorrow. See the covers now!
Slideshows: Tabloid Covers About Sarah Palin | Sarah Palin's Photo Scrapbook
In advance copies of the covers, obtained by Fox 29, Palin is the big story on People, the National Enquirer, Ok Magazine and US Weekly.
The Alaska Governor is appearing on the covers along with troubled actor David Duchovny and new mama Halle Berry.
The National Enquirer touts "Sarah Palin's Dark Secrets" as a "world exclusive." Us Weekly promises "new embarrassing secrets" for the mother of five.
People and OK Magazine take a softer approach, focusing on Palin's "family drama."

Be careful that post is enough to get it pulled by OT. After all you said something about his wife.
If you don't want to get poofed you have to talk about 17 yr olds who are from the conservative side- then you can say all you want.

Thing is that the Nat'l Enq has of late been the most accurate on many lead stories.
They had enough law suits over the years that now they're gonna make sure they get it right.

If the Enquirer turns up anything on Palin, legit or not, do you think the Democrat's reaction will be the same as it was with Edwards, or do you think they'll be hypocrites?
