1. I'm wondering ....
and if true, this would be a sad commentary on the state of the press. Is it possible that the Enquirer and such rags are the only refuge available to those who, in their souls, desire to be investigative reporters? Has the spirit of Murrow and Mencken, the spirit that quided Bernstein and Woodward, taken them there? They got the Edwards story right ... a bizarre twist of fate. If they are right about this ...

We may be seeing the transformation of the Enquirer into the last bastion of investigative reporting. How pathetic is that?

7. They are vile and mud-slinging but they back up their stories 100%
They have more evidence than most criminal cases before they move on a story -- probably due to how many times they've had their asses sued.
