A Dark Unseen Scandal Star? (http://www.slate.com/id/2176954/nav/fix/#darkstar)
Rosenbaum's Political Physics: Do you ever sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation (http://www.nationalenquirer.com/john_edwards_cheating_scandal/celebrity/64271). But Rosenbaum says (http://ronrosenbaum.pajamasmedia.com/2007/10/29/shocking_inside_dc_scandal_rum.php) "everyone in the elite Mainstream media" knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I'm not in the elite, because I don't know what he's talking about. ... My vestigial Limbaugh gland tells me it must involve a Democrat, or else the Times would have found a reason to print it. ... P.S.: If it's just Richardson, that will be very disappointing. ... 3:16 P.M.
Given the LATimes inability to stop themselves from giddyly printing a scandal involving a Republican, at the slightest provocation, this either involves a Democrat or it's a big fat lie.
