National Enquirer has sent "Edwards team" to Alaska

Enquirer's Perel: "We triggered Palin announcement"

Radar reported last night that the National Enquirer, fresh off breaking the John Edwards scandal, was hot in pursuit of the Bristol Palin pregnancy story.

“I definitely think we triggered the announcement,” Editor David Perel told Politico this morning.

Perel said that the Enquirer has three reporters — from “the Edwards team” — up in Alaska. He said reporters were putting out calls all weekend to members of Palin’s family and those around her, as well as the family of the father, Levi Johnston. Perel said there was enough to go on for this week’s print edition, even before Monday’s statement.

So what about the media’s aggressive coverage of Palin’s child’s pregnancy versus not pursuing Edwards?

Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to quietly have her daughter Bristol get married before news of her pregnancy leaked out, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its new issue.


Palin planned for the wedding to take place right after the Republican National Convention and then she was going to announce the pregnancy.

But Bristol, 17, refused to go along with the plan and that sparked a mother-daughter showdown over the failed coverup.

The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news.

I feel for the daughter, but IMHO McCain and Palin brought this on themselves.
