Gawker has a hilarious post about the National Enquirer's scandal digging article on Sarah Palin's alleged tryst with her husband's former business associate. The Money Quote:

The Enquirer says Sarah Palin told friends the relationship was never "consummated" but you know how they get around that in Islam.

HAWT!

Even hotter : The picture they of Sarah the National Enquirer put up with the post about the paper's article and Gawker's observation that Sarah likes her men to look alike.

Both made me laugh out loud.

After the John Edwards' baby mamma scandal, I think it is best to take seriously any National Enquirer dirt digging of politicians. And grock knows I should have known they were saying the truth about Edwards.

I met National Enquirer head honcho Bonnie Fuller about 2 years ago at a "will blogs will be end of big media" event put together by Reuters. She owned up to the fact that TNE polygraphs and background checks people BEFORE they pay them for information and publish it.

The source of Palin's story? A disgruntled former brother-in-law who allegedly passed the polygraph tests with flying colors.

Sexay!
