Good Point!

From Say Uncle:

Another reason for Sarah Palin to complain that the media is subjecting her to special scrutiny because she's a woman: the fact that the media did not publish allegations about John Edwards's girlfriend for months, and still aren't pursuing the very real possibility that Edwards is the father of Rielle Hunter's child.

But the media is hammer and tongs after Palin's daughter's pregnancy. There's a double standard there. Granted, Edwards is no longer a candidate and Palin is a candidate, but that doesn't explain the difference, only the current lack of interest in Edwards.

And Instapundit has a great idea: to dampen the media's interest in Bristol Palin, leak a rumor that John Edwards is the father! Ohhhhh... that's devilish!
