OT The Guardian has this story on Magna Carta copy on auction at Sothebys fyi.

In response to Arnie @ 40

and the Carlyle Group bought it, unfreakinbelieveable

Maybe they thought the Bush family needed something else to spit on.

A sweater vest?

A red sweater vest?

Who in the world wears that except perhaps 12 year-old boys in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Not a former mayor of New York City and I find it difficult to believe that even a Republican candidate for President could be that fashion clueless.

Only one thing goes with a red sweater vest — a Lazy Boy recliner.

I’m going to cry.

Edwards should ignore this story.

I seem to recall that at some point in the past, you could do an analogy comparing the National Enquirer and truth to say the WaPo0 and NY Times, similar to the old SAT analogies.

You used ta could do that anyway.

Of course I trust ANYTHING that comes from the Enquirer as real news! Why would you even ask?

I just emailed Mickey Kaus and asked him if it was true that he blows goats. I think it is true. Atrios told me.

Kaus has never adequately denied this. Therefore, I can only conclude that he is, in fact, a goat blower.

But she is not the Edwards campaign.

These stories need to be smashed ruthlessly by the campaigns themselves.

The story has been rather conclusively debunked:

I think it’s time for Steve Clemons to apologize for helping to pimp it back in October.

just as Edwards is picking up steam this story comes out
a combo of Drudge and the tabloid press. Rudy has a relationship with the national enquirer
