Another Day, Another Smear: National Enquirer Cover Will Claim "Affair"

National Enquirer claiming Sarah Palin had an affair.

Here's the response from Team McCain:

“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie. Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country. She is a proven leader, an accomplished executive, a champion for ethics reform, and a fighter against corruption. The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it.

“Senator McCain and Governor Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americans care about, fixing broken government, creating jobs, making our country energy independent and securing the peace for the next generation by bringing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a victorious end. Legal action will be considered with regard to this disgraceful smear.” --Senior Adviser Steve Schmidt

Would this story, perchance, have originated with the same Alaskan partisans who spread the rumor that Trig was actually Bristol's baby?

McCain Enraged: Speaking about the coordinated DNC/DKM (Daily Kos Media) assault generally (and not about this particular smear), McCain promises to fight back, and that "we're gonna get 'em."

More Coming: I'm standing by, waiting for details, hopefully, about the sourcing of this newest smear.

Just Curious: How do we know it was Sarah having the affair? Maybe it was someone else wearing a Pregnant Governor fat-suit?

Hang On... Waiting for a crucial clarification.
