National Enquirer

Regarding the news that John Edwards has confirmed the National Enquirer story about an affair with Rielle Hunter, some observations...

• The Leftosphere will studiously ignore their previous ridicule of the people who covered that story.
• Ultimately, the story isn't really a political point.  It's disappointing, it's sad, it's tragic.  And after John Edwards acknowledges lying about the National Enquirer claims, it should be private.
• Nevertheless, there will be a great deal of noise in the blogosphere about this for a few days.  The story is not about Edwards having an affair, but about the fact that, despite the outraged protestations from critics, the National Enquirer and Mickey Kaus were right all along.
• Mickey Kaus is going to be insufferable.
