Denver:
Two Days Before the 2008 Democrat Convention
The 2008 Democrat Convention kicks off Monday for four days in Denver, CO.
RidesAPaleHorse, DBKP's special convention correspondent, sends in these pictures from around the town a few days before the action gets underway at the Pepsi Center.
Hoping for change...
Guess he missed the memo about the free makeovers. [Denver Democrat Convention: How to Know Democrats are in Town]
Larimer St. state flags
Looks like one of the DNC "loaner" vehicles.
After all, it's green. Ok...black.
Pepsi Center, two days before the convention.

Edwards STILL Covering Up Affair and Money

More bombshells for John Edwards and associates to deal with: the National Enquirer's latest print issue has published even more damaging information on the John Edwards Scandal.
Included on their website, "JOHN EDWARDS BLOCKBUSTER NEW EXPOSE!", is information that will be sure to prompt new questions for the "99% man".
[Picture of the Lee Rohn's Virgin Islands' house where Rielle Hunter and Frances Quinn Hunter stayed while in the Caribbean getaway.]
In what the Enquirer labels as, "Destination: St. Croix in the Virgin Islands!"
THE ENQUIRER tracked Rielle to St. Croix where our reporters discovered Rielle and the baby stayed in a luxurious oceanfront home owned by controversial trial lawyer Lee Rohn, another close friend of Edwards.
When visited by an ENQUIRER reporter on August 15, Rohn snapped a terse “No comment!” when questioned about Hunter.
Former Virgin Island Senator Anne Golden confirmed to THE ENQUIRER that “within 24 hours of their arrival that they were here and staying with Lee Rohn.”
After the ENQUIRER discovered Rielle’s hideaway with Rohn, she was moved to a motel on the island before returning to Santa Barbara on August 17 according to another source.
An ENQUIRER reporter then saw Rielle back in her California home, which is being paid for by Edwards’ former finance chairman Fred Baron.
Rohn has a "controversial" history, according to the Enquirer--and so she does. The native Texan, who is now a resident of the Virgin Islands, is a campaign donor to both John Edwards and Barack Obama.
LBG tracked down more Lee Rohn info:
"On 2/4/2008 Rohn contributed $1300 to Obama For America. On 9/30/2007, Rohn contributed $2300 to John Edwards.
Rohn's a member of the State Bar of Texas; Virgin Islands Bar Association, The Association of Trial Lawyers of America (Member, Leaders Forum), and Virgin Islands Trial Lawyers Association (Founder and Member).
According to a 2004 article in the Virgin Island Daily News, Rohn has had several complaints about her professional conduct including coercing clients to sign false documents, ignoring judge's orders, personal attacks on judges, and profanity in the courtroom."

The money trail from John Edwards--or perhaps his campaign--continues to unravel as the Enquirer reveals that a team of six more lawyers are involved.
None of this is paid for by Rielle. The money continues to come from Edwards’s network of loyal supporters, with no explanation from Edwards why he is having his friends continue to support Rielle now that the affair has been made public.
Edwards is not only aware of the hush money payoffs but orchestrated it with his team of former campaign advisors and now The ENQUIRER has discovered that a team of six more lawyers have been involved in the coverup and are funneling payments to Hunter, who has no money and no means of support.
The ENQUIRER has also learned that Hunter's own lawyer advised her to allow Edwards to take a paternity test but she refused out of misguided belief that Edwards will marry her after the death of his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth.
The ENQUIRER’s continuing blockbuster investigation also reveals the disgraced ex-senator is still in constant communication with his mistress!
DBKP also has some financial questions for John Edwards and Fred Baron in a story to be published immediately following the publication of this story. They involve the Edwards' campaign's use of Fred Baron's aircraft and the details, which publicly don't add up.
DBKP will publish updates to this story throughout the early morning as more details become available. The Enquirer's print edition becomes available shortly after 8 am EDT.

Iranian fauxtography? You want some real Iranian fauxtography?
From Iran - Dramatic Failure:
Iran was so proud of its rocket launch. It announced it to the world and then said it would put any Muslim satellite into space. Just one little problem. They can't get their rocket off of the ground safely.
Iran's attempt to launch a dummy satellite into orbit earlier this week was a "dramatic failure" that fell far short of the country's assertions of success, Reuters quoted a US official as saying on Tuesday.
Monkey in the Middle accompanied the above info with the photo at the top of the page.

Well, do you punk?

National Enquirer: Edwards with Baby
Mainstream Press Interested Now?
Edwards Laying Low
Print Trumps Digital for some Areas of the Country
Editors all over America are scampering to the checkout line to buy the latest edition of the National Enquirer, which contains the photos they were waiting on: John Edwards scandal photos.
The National Enquirer has released its latest information in the John Edwards Scandal investigation.
The stunning “spy photo” shows the former presidential contender holding his infant daughter Frances Quinn Hunter at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles – where the ENQUIRER caught him visiting the baby’s mother, his mistress Rielle Hunter.
Edwards is holding his love child while standing in front of a distinctive striped curtain.
The same window covering hangs in each one of the hotel’s guest rooms – and is clearly visible in photos of guest rooms on the hotel’s Web site.
National Enquirer: THE PHOTOS EVERYONE'S BEEN WAITING FOR!
A source quoted by the Enquirer states, "His elaborate coverup is unraveling at the seams.”
Alerted to the existence of the photos by a reader earlier, DBKP, like those many mainstream media editors, checked the Enquirer's website--which still was silent on the matter--and left in pursuit of the latest edition of the Enquirer.
No luck. The new issue was not available yet in our area. When we returned twenty minutes ago, the Enquirer's site featured the damning photos.
Look for updates to this and an earlier DBKP story throughout today.
ALSO at DBKP:  Click on banner to access over 60 DBKP stories and videos on the John Edwards scandal. |
A new debate will begin today in MSM outlets, as the pictures are hard evidence of the scandal the traditional press refused to report. The new debate will doubtless feature those who present new reasons for not reporting.
The new Enquirer also features news of the money connection from John Edwards to Rielle Hunter, and pictures of the homes of Rielle Hunter and Andrew Young.
One interesting photo shows John Edwards in front of the hotel room window pulling the drapes closed. He appears to be sweating--or it could be where the baby, Frances Quinn Hunter, drooled on his shirt.
UPDATES to follow.

A Saturday Obama Two-fer
* Messiah of the Year
* New Reality Show
RidesAPaleHorse sent us the above image after reading "Competing optics: Cheering Germans or American military? Update: Snubbing wounded soldiers? Update: Touring Berlin instead? Update: It is/is not a campaign event?" at Hot Air.
Of course, this image is not appropriate for serious media discussions about Barack Obama, who very well could be our 44th president.
So, we looked around and found a much more appropriate RAPH image for those who crave the policially-incorrect.
Since it's mildly NSFW (Not safe for work), readers may access it by clicking on the link below.

Politically-Incorrect Candy
PC Storm Troopers Overlook Old-time Candy favorite
Back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, back before Policial Correctness had gotten its grip on the American consciousness, at most convenience or general stores, a kid could purchase a confection that was sure to produce a monster sugar rush: candy cigarettes.
"Eventually You'll Get Pretend Cancer: The Bizarre World of Candy Cigarettes", succinctly sums up the candy cigarette:
For the past 100 years, a variety of chocolate, candy, and bubble-gum confections have been manufactured that simulate the appearance of actual cigarettes. For the first 65 or so years, the major cigarette corporations either looked the other way or took an active part in ensuring that the candy package reproductions were "faithful" to their less-appealing tobacco brothers. For some reason, a lot of people believe candy cigarettes were "totally outlawed" in the United States sometime in the past, when in actuality, the major players have remained one step ahead of governmental regulation via sluggish self-policing and a strong commitment to what ESPN would call "Extreme Hiding."
Less popular, though no less PC--or tasty--are bubble gum cigarettes, a sample which is pictured below.
The forces of PC are weaker in foreign countries and candy cigarettes are a popular item, both for manufacture and for consumption. The next three pix are candy cigarettes manufactured in Mexico.
In many places in the USA, you can still purchase candy cigarettes, though they are many times stored out of sight, behind the counter with the Playboy magazines and the condoms.
And that's our trip down Memory Lane to when you could munch on a candy cigarette without fear of offending anyone--but the dentist.
[NOTE: The last three pix come from Cardhouse.com. For a fascinating tour through the world of foreign, and especially Mexican, candy cigarettes, check out "The Cardhouse Non-American Candy Cigarette Exhibition".]
