The Enquirer Rules Their World
Eschaton —
Their rules, not mine.
Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to quietly have her daughter Bristol get married before news of her pregnancy leaked out, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its new issue.
Palin planned for the wedding to take place right after the Republican National Convention and then she was going to announce the pregnancy.
But Bristol, 17, refused to go along with the plan and that sparked a mother-daughter showdown over the failed coverup.

National Enquirer Has Palinmania, Too: Hyping a Fairly Minor Story Into a Scandal that Will Rock America!!! A vicious fight between Palin and Bristol! Actually, Sarah Palin wanted Bristol to get married shortly after the Republican convention, the National Enquirer claims, and Bristol didn't. Not sure what she's waiting for, but unless the Enquirer has a bit more than this, they really don't have much at all. More tabloid nonsense, as Us Weekly, which didn't have any interest in the Edwards baby scandal (a real scandal, note), suddenly seems ...

Where is Hillary? We don’t know. BUT…the National Enquirer, which if I remember rightly is published by a FOB/FOH, is going to try to pimp Troopergate into “the scandal that will rock America” .

Sign of the Times It says quite a bit about the state of modern journalism that one of the last national media outlets to post a story about the family of Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is the National Equirer and something else again that the Enquirer article is less partisan in tone and apparently more solid in their sourcing than network and cable news channels, national newspapers, and ...
The Enquirer Precipitated It?
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
That's what they're claiming:
The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news.
In a preemptive strike Palin released the news, creating political shockwaves. I note one thing. That Monday statement about the Bristol pregnancy was not issued by the McCain campaign. It came straight from the Palin family. I wonder how ...
No More Mister Nice Blog — ... and The National Enquirer. Palin and the GOP had the chance to downplay the tabloid stuff tonight, but Palin's base really wants to see the family, Levi included, in a portrait of family values, so the party's handicapping itself. ...

But John Walker Lindh, railroaded into a 20-year jail sentence and slapped with a gag order that bars him from talking about how he was tortured for the entire length of his incarceration in Afghanistan, is not the real American Taliban. That title should probably belong to our new Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. According to reporting in the latest edition of the National Enquirer , a paper routinely maligned as a grocery-store scandal ...
