Imagine if the media covered a high speed car chase like this:
Eyewitness News: "We take you now to News Chopper 4, who is following a high speed chase in Beverly Hills."
News Chopper 4: "Bob, this chase has been going on now for about 20 minutes. It started at the Beverly Hilton, and at this point, the suspect car is going about 100 miles per hour down Wilshire Blvd. There are about 7 cars in hot pursuit. The suspect has run through several red lights. So far, an attempted pit maneuver has failed to stop the suspect."
Eyewitness News: "Joe, can you tell how many people are in the car?"
News Chopper 4: "There appear to be 2 people, Bob. A man is driving and there is a woman in the passenger seat. I can't tell if they are armed or not."
Eyewitness News: "Joe, this is Michelle. Do you think he'll run out of gas anytime soon?"
News Chopper 4: "Hard to say, Michelle. From this vantage point, I can't tell if his tires are properly inflated."
Eyewitness News: "Does this appear to be gang-related?"
News Chopper 4: "Can't tell, Bob-Oh, the suspect just crashed into a Wendy's. The man and the woman are getting out and are being surrounded by the cops. Hey, Bob. If those are cops, they aren't in uniform, and they don't have any guns. They have cameras and microphones. I'm going down for a closer look."
Eyewitness News: "What the hell is going on, Joe?"
News Chopper 4: "Hey Bob, I don't believe it. The driver is Senator John Edwards. And that woman, I think that's uh, Rielle what's her name. You remember the story last year..."
Eyewitness News: "News Chopper 4, News Chopper 4, break off, do you copy? Break off".
"Well, here's Fritz with the sports."

It is now 14 days and counting. Still no photos from the National Enquirer.
Must've gotten lost at the 1-hour photo developer!
Bryan,
What kind of photos do you want to see? Obviously, there won't be any X-rated ones, but how about a panicked Edwards running from the press?
The Enquirer editor told John and Ken (KFI) that were were photos. I think they are waiting for the right time to drop them.
Anyway, I want to make this point. This is not about Edwards nearly as much as it is about the msm choosing which scandals to report and which to bury. That is the real story.
Note to Bryan,
You might want to check out the National Enquirer web site.
