The McCain campaign has threatened to sue the National Enquirer supermarket tabloid over rumors that Sarah Palin had committed adultery by cheating on her husband with his “former business partner”, presumed to refer to Scott Richter — who is currently in the midst of a rather long and drawn-out divorce.
Two observations:
– The Enquirer is often wrong, but it recently scooped the mainstream press on the John Edwards adultery story.
– Scott Richter has, after a year of letting the divorce wind its way publicly through the Alaskan courts system (and after no activity in the case since May), suddenly filed an emergency motion (which was denied) to seal his divorce papers (h/t Andrew Sullivan):

Sarah Palin touts her status as a Christian. I wonder if she or Mr. Richter are familiar with Proverbs 28:1?
UPDATE: Ah, the guy the Enquirer is allegedly tagging as Palin’s lover is Brad Hanson, not Scott Richter — at least not yet. Are we looking at the new Helen Chenoweth here?

Isn’t there also something in the Bible about sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind? The Publicans made their opponents’ personal lives “fair game”, and now they’ll have to live with the consequences.

I’m going to purchase a copy of the Inquirer each week, and urge my friends and family to do so also. Best way to encourage the paper to go ahead with their muckraking. So much muck so little time! So few honest newspapers. If the NY Times were around during the Revolution, they’d be on the Tory side.
