Hmm, that would be kind of like if Hillary Clinton made a public statement denying the tabloid story of her affair with P'lod, an alien with a foot-long tongue. Tabloids "report" ridiculous things about celebrities every day. Most celebrities wisely ignore them.

Who the heck is this anonymous "source" that the entire story hinges on? The Enquirer asked Andrew Young to take a polygraph test. Why don't they ask their "source" do take one?

Gee, maybe because The Enquirer is a joke?

The real story here is that other entities claiming to employ journalists have sunk so low as to use The Enquirer as a source. Furthermore, in the above article, the Cleveland Leader doesn't stop at just reporting the existence of the Enquirer story but is adding its own tabloid-style flourishes. The comment about Elizabeth Edwards' presence on the campaign trail is completely out of line, and an insult to all people living with cancer. It's not just bad journalism, it's not even journalism at all.
