Ok...READ THIS before saying "lol, it's just National Enquirer."

Is National Enquirer a reliable news source? No, they are not. HOWEVER, National Enquirer broke the story of John Edwards' affair a couple of years ago. They also broke the story about his love child. They were ridiculed for publishing these stories until both of them ended up being true.

I do think this is highly unlikely, but...what if?

Even a blind pig finds a truffle once in a while.

Or perhaps you'd prefer the adage, "A broken clock is right twice a day." Regardless, a rag that makes thousands of baseless claims a year is bound to report a true one by pure coincidence once in a while.

Just cause the National Enquirer has broken some stories doesn't mean they aren't crap.

Which is, of course, false. They broke the Edwards story, as I stated in my first post. With that said, this probably is bull crap.

They'd be a laughing stock if they used the National Enquirer as a journalistic source. They're biased, but they're not stupid.

I remember one article they had was about Leonardo Da Vinci's mentally handicapped brother Marcello. All they did was take a picture of Da Vinci and give him googly eyes.

Because he's human, just like the rest of us. I personally wouldn't care if he did have an affair, but I wouldn't put man's carnal urges past anyone.

Being human doesn't automatically mean you're going to cheat...

Who said I agreed with his policies? Also, there is nothing there that would make think he would cheat. Therefore if he did, it would come as a surprise.

You assume people who believe he's capable of adultery disagree with his policies, so why is it not equally reasonable for me to assume that someone who doesn't think he's capable of adultery agrees with his policies?

They broke the John Edwards affair story and it turned out to be true. I'm not saying that they're right about Obama having an affair, but the National Enquirer certainly isn't 100% bull crap.

You know this is a really dumb argument over nothing right? I assume this because I don't see a valid reason to believe he is capable of adultery. Anyways, I'm going to bed. Bye.

The National Enquirer reports that everyone is having an affair. That they were right about John Edwards is a coincidence; if I went up to everyone on the street and accused them all of having an affair, chances are that eventually I would be right, but that says nothing about my ability to actually tell when someone has an affair.

Bottom line: not credible, not worth giving it the time of day.
