Okay this issue with the National Enquirer - the one of bigfoot and space alien stories - and the Edwards "love" child has got me wondering is true or false?
Let's just look at the "reporting" on this.
The enquirer has not one single named source except it's own reporters and its own editor. They say they filed a criminal complaint against the Beverly Hilton (not Edwards not a named security guard) - so what? Anyone can file a criminal complaint.
Fox"news" claims to have found a security guard who was there. A couple of weird things about this: 1) the guard again is unnamed and 2) there is NO REPORTER listed for the story only placement on their webpage. Don't reporters want credit?

maybe I'm nuts but why isn't a Fox "reporter" listed as contributing this story?
In the end this is easy enough to confirm with a DNA test, but in the mean time everyone hears this story and if there ever was even a dim chance of Edwards as VP this ought to kill it.
The cynical side of me wonders whether Roger Altman a treasury secretary under Bill Clinton and longtime HillRaiser did this back in October of 2007 and now just to help out the Clintons...

To make it even weirder, another blogger says that the very same night in question was the TV Media Critics meeting at the same hotel and that the hospitality suite for their meeting was right next to the room in question...

As Daily News TV critic Ellen Gray informed us from the Television Critics Association summer press tour, what makes the Beverly Hilton choice even more bizarre is that the place was crawling with reporters Monday night for the TCA, including newspaper people from the New York Times, USA Today the New York Daily News, the Washington Post, and us. But no one but the National Enquirer seemed to spot John Edwards. Ah, it's a big hotel, you say. True, but the Enquirer says Hunter/Edwards friend Bob McGovern reserved rooms 246 and 252 at the Hilton. The TCA hospitality suite was down the hall in Room 234. Tattle's not saying it's not true - and Edwards may soon be issuing tearful mea culpas - we're just saying that if Edwards chose to have a liaison in a hotel hosting a press event, he's an idiot.
wouldn't someone else more credible than the National Enquirer have seen this?
Note: for those who are comprehension challenged this posting does not claim any involvement of the Clintons in this
