This Allred rumor reminds me of "Fitzmas"

[flowomo]

for those of you who were here for that. There are serious matters to focus on in the next few days. This is not one of them.

[randome]

1. Absolutely agree.

[IDemo]

2. Wasn't this already outed as a "ratfuck" operation by Drudge? n/t

[Quantess]

8. Those perverts need to leave the poor rodents alone. (no text)

[Tigress DEM]

3. I remember All I Want For Fitzmas is my Country Back.

Is this about Patrick Fitzgerald, the federal prosecutor in charge of the investigation of the Valerie Plame Affair, which led to the prosecution and conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby for perjury?

[flowomo]

7. that was the trivial outcome....

of what many DUers believed was going to be an indictment of Cheney and Rove. In the end, little-fish Libby took the fall, and it wasn't a very big fall. Bush commuted his 30-month prison sentence.

[mzmolly]

4. True.

I will believe it, when I see it.

[Horse with no Name]

5. What a ridiculous disappointment THAT was

[spanone]

6. know nothing about the rumor...you?

[BootinUp]

9. good call. nt

[NYC Liberal]

10. The news will be announced in 24 business hours.

[flowomo]

[littlewolf]

[Nye Bevan]

[flowomo]

15. ouch

yes, some got more... ummm... convinced than others.

[msanthrope]

17. Give it 24 business hours. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. Agreed...it's dumb

[Indpndnt]

16. YES!! We're still waiting on that, aren't we?

I really don't even think of this Allred possibility. If it happens, fine. If it doesn't, fine.

[LisaL]

19. Well I hope Fitzmas comes early this year.

[Ikonoklast]

20. Gloria needs some attention, it would seem.

Not all that interested.

[trueblue2007]

21. Romney had an affair with one of his maids?

Romney had an affair with one of his maids?

First the rumor started with Drudge freaking out over Gloria Allred and the story got reported here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2220526/Republicans-bracing-October-surprise-Gloria-Allred-prepares-Romney-revelation.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Then there was this tidbit revealed:

http://partners.mediatakeout.com/59124/explosive-breaking-news-mitt-romney-s-maid-is-dishing-dirt-and-if-what-she-s-saying-is-true-it-may-be-a-wrap-for-the-campaign.html

Media Takeout is owned and operated by a former corporate lawyer and he probably knows Allred.

Media Takeout indicates the news will break tomorrow. I suspect it will be in the morning and the scandal will be full swing before the debate.

If true, if a credible story is broken of a past made having an indiscrete affair with Mr. Romney, does that indeed end his campaign?

[glacierbay]

22. C'mon

Media Takeout? They have about as much credibility as Faux Snooze.
While I would hope for something to knock Rmoney out, I'm not holding my breath waiting for this to happen. I've got far more important things to do, like canvassing neighborhoods on behalf of the Obama campaign, making calls to GOTV, donating to the Obama campaign, and watching the Cardinals hopefully defeating the SF Giants tonight.
