Paraguay Has Its Very Own Bill Clinton-Style Sex Scandal

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:53:00 GMT

This post marks the first time we've ever linked to Al Jazeera, at least that I can recall. Not that we're afraid of what Sean Hannity and his McCarthyite followers might say.

Rather, the famed Arabic news service is rarely one to break major sex scandals... until now. And we're glad we didn't miss this one like Fox News already has, because it has three classic scandal plot points...

1) Fernando Lugo, the President of Paraguay, has admitted to fathering a child out of wedlock with Viviana Carrillo, who was not even his girlfriend at the time.

2) The boy is almost two, making the woman 24 and and Lugo 55 at the time of conception.

3) Lugo was technically still a Roman Catholic bishop at the time he knocked up the young woman. He was staying with her at her godmother's house when their sexual relationship began, culminating in the birth of the boy almost a year before he won the Presidency. So, he didn't knock anybody up while in office (that we know of), but don't forget that the Pope had actually turned down his request be relieved of the vows of celibacy-- even after the boy's birth. (Pope Benedict eventually gave in.)

This all only came to light when the woman was forced to file a paternity suit against the Paraguayan President-- he thought he could pull a John Edwards up until the last minute. More via Al Jazeera.

Elizabeth Edwards: "I Stayed For The Kids"

Hey, we know everyone's innocent until proven guilty. Except when they secretly visit the hotel room of a mistress they probably haven't been seeing for a long time and are admittedly not sleeping with and claim that "some other cheating husband" made that baby that she brought with her to take pictures of you playing with. Yeah, okay, we'll be objective. (In the interest of full confession: I, Scanner Brian was an Edwards supporter from Dean's scream in 2004 until last week.)

This Week In Gayness: Doctors Shocked To Learn They Can't Reject Gay Patients

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:51:00 GMT

Is anyone surprised to learn that a conservative "family values" champion has completely misconstrued the truth in print? Johnathan Trapp suggests on the Concerned Women For America website (although, of course, not being of the womanly persuasion is no "strike one" on an anti-feminist site for women) that the rights of priests and others are being violated because gay marriages are being "forced" upon them. Never mind that even those who haven't even read about California's new law can probably guess that no one in the United States is forced to wed any couple if they don't want to...

This whole anti-gay = anti-McDonald's movement has grown more insane than we thought it ever could be...

Guess why Westboro Baptist Church, our top pick for the site of the next nuclear missile tests, is calling John Edwards a "fag enabler":

Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), the anti-gay Christian organisation, has voiced the opinion that John Edwards is "cursed" by God.

Edwards... has been part of the campaign to end the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy...

The WBC claimed on Saturday 16th that Edwards is a "fag enabler", who attacked the WBC for "preaching God's holy truth about fags."

Ah, history lessons: some Germans vandalized an ode to homosexual victims of the Holocaust.

McCain danced around gay marriage, while Obama ~~hopefully lied~~ reiterated his opposition to it.

Wait, someone would dedicate their life and career to giving medical help and advice, thus saving lives and contributing to the greater humanity... but would actually refuse to treat a person who happens to be gay? Normally, we're very worried about how few Americans are going into the medical profession, but we'd totally advocate stripping these people of their licenses...

California doctors who have religious objections to gays and lesbians must nevertheless treat them the same as any other patient or find a colleague in the office who will do so, the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday. [San Francisco Chronicle]

Elizabeth Edwards: "I Stayed For The Kids"

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:39:00 GMT

John Edwards, who is a no-good chauvinist who tried to shrug off (clearly) fathering his girlfriend's child as being okay because he "did not love her," at least told his wife about the affair before the press heard about it and her cancer had returned.

In a detailed story by People:

Elizabeth Edwards was furious and distraught about her husband's betrayal, but she decided to keep her marriage in tact, in large part, because of her terminal cancer and the prospect that her children will one day be motherless, those closest to her said. In 2007, doctors diagnosed Elizabeth with incurable cancer.

A friend of Elizabeth's is quoted as saying that the almost immediate reemergence of Mrs. Edwards's cancer kicked her feelings into high gear, and she was forced to confront her future and make a decision ASAP:

"She couldn't say, 'Well, maybe we'll work through this for years, or maybe we should separate for two years,' " said Hargrave McElroy, Elizabeth's friend. "(The cancer) forced her to choose whether to move forward."
"She was struggling with being out there," McElroy said. "She did strikingly less campaigning than she did" when Edwards was the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee.
"Part of the burden for Elizabeth had been the lie," McElroy said. "She anticipated the great relief the truth brings."
But John Edwards' public confession did not bring the relief that Elizabeth anticipated, the magazine reports.
The confession has been crushing to Elizabeth because of how badly her husband's image has been tarnished.

No wonder Elizabeth privately wanted Edwards to endorse Hillary Clinton: the two are practically on the exact same wavelength about their husbands...

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 21:44:00 GMT

Scanner was inundated with bad craziness, sexism, hedonism, and Sweden-ism this week... and you enjoyed every minute of it, sweetness...

HIGHS:

We learned that Swedish girls like to have sex with each other. See also above.

We applauded a boy in Sweden who got revenge on perverts by ripping them off and getting busted for it.

We found a great handjob. Unfortunately, it does not involve Swedes.

We talked about hot Olympians, then we stared at one of them naked. (For the last time, no, she is not from Sweden.)

We found an excuse to use our favorite photo of Amanda Peet. Although it can't top this one of Eva Mendes.

Robert Downey, Jr., we learned, is a very patient mofo.

Meet us in St. Louis next year.

LOWS:

A sex blogger got busted for sex writing on her sex site. We cringed, then we shivered, and finally we changed our names and went underground.

Jim Beam's ad featuring ogled Swedish girls was banned in Australia. Good riddance.

We found this list of 10 Songs To Strip To sorely lacking. (There's an STD joke here, but we're out of time...)

John Edwards admitted he has no chance of being Vice President now.

We never found out who looks best in a bikini, but that's okay, we have friends outside of here.

And mutiny and chaos descended on Scanner over this post.

The John Edwards Affair And Love Child Scandal: The Sequel

The John Edwards Affair And Love Child Scandal: The Sequel

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:50:00 GMT

John Edwards, two-time Presidential candidate and John Kerry's Vice-Presidential pick in 2004, has been dogging a sex scandal for months, since December 2007, in fact. Now, as polls continue to show the former Senator as the most effective running mate for Obama (in terms of which states he helps pick up), his chances at a second nomination for VP is in serious jeopardy following these latest allegations...

According to the National Enquirer-- wait, stop. This is a serious story, being picked up by mainstream media, that comes from the National Enquirer? Well, it's not exactly trustworthy until you find out they're claiming they did their own reporting on this, following Edwards around and even attempting to corner him in a bathroom for a photo.

A team of ENQUIRER reporters caught the married ex-senator visiting his mistress and secret love child late Monday night at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles hotel.

...Edwards got out of the passenger side, walked around the front of the car and went in a side entrance near the swimming pool. [A friend of both Edwards and his alleged mistress rented two rooms and, the Enquirer claims, stayed in one of the rooms alone so the couple could spend time alone.]
Edwards' advisers are "spitting mad and furious" that his late-night escapades have made international headlines because it could derail his chances of becoming Barack Obama's running mate. Edwards has not explained his whereabouts to any members of other news media outlets who have been trying to follow up on the story.

His mistress, blonde divorcee Rielle, meanwhile... is "in despair" that Edwards might cut off contact with her because their latest rendezvous has been exposed in the media.

You may recall that this story came and went during the run-up to the Iowa caucuses. First, the love child allegations surfaced; soon after, they were "buried" when a close (married) friend of Edwards' came forward to say, "Hey, wait a minute. It was actually me." The story quickly vanished from even the conservative blogosphere, although no one seemed to believe it. We all acted like the detective does when a death row inmate takes a rap for somebody else-- he may have his suspicions but he's happy just to close the case and move on.

Word on the blogs is that, by the time you're reading this, most major media will cover it-- at least with reservations similar to the ones we voiced in the second paragraph of this post. We'll have more later on...

Top 5 Things Obama Should Do Now

Obama Turns Hillary Down

Obama VP List Down To Top 20

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:43:00 GMT

Rogue Iraqi Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama has whittled his list down to a whopping twenty infidels, just to throw us off the track.

Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota told CNN that some of those on the list are “top officials now,” others are “former lawmakers” and others are “former top military leaders.”

Let's see... Wesley Clark? Kathleen Sebelius? John Edwards? Those are our guesses. Speaking of Edwards, he is polling strong as a VP choice... and more importantly, helping the Obama brand:

Obama/Edwards [have] double-digit leads in states like New York, Missouri, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and California. That could mean a landslide for Democrats in November, especially considering the competitive nature of national contests in Pennsylvania and Ohio in recent years. But what's more interesting is that it also predicts considerable victories elsewhere, like [Republican Gov. Tim] Pawlenty's home state of Minnesota, where Obama/Edwards leads by 7 points. And typically red states like Nebraska would also go to the Democrats in a squeaker. [Eyes on Obama]

Meanwhile, Obama's team will meet with the top female politician in the country. Wrong-- it's Nancy Pelosi. Sorry, Hillary, but don't fret-- you must be on that list, somewhere around #18 and #19...

Via CNN.

Obama Turns Hillary Down

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 23 May 2008 16:16:00 GMT

The blogosphere is abuzz with unconfirmed reports that Senator Clinton called Senator Obama and personally asked for Vice Presidential shot. Obama, for undisclosed reasons, gave her a definitive "no."

If this turns out to be true, then a controversial Air America e-mail (which we read with a grumble yesterday) encouraging Obama to "Ask Hillary First" came a day late. And would've been ignored anyway.

Meanwhile, Obama is forming a selection committee headed by the man who chose John Edwards and, ironically, Geraldine Ferraro as the nominees of, respectively, John Kerry and Walter Mondale.

Obama seems to be leaning toward a pick along the lines of Jim Web... or maybe Webb himself? [Fox News]

Republican To Steal Election For Obama By Running Against Him

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 13 May 2008 15:06:00 GMT

In 2000, spoiler Ralph Nader, pretending to be a free-thinking ex-Democrat, helped throw the election to The Worst President in American History (™Doris Kearns Goodwin.) In 2004, John Kerry pretended to run for President, thus ensuring an easy re-election for The Worst President, who would've had no chance in hell otherwise.

Now, it's to the Republicans go the spoilers, with Jonathan McCain's shot at world domination threatened by none other than a Republican ex-Congressman and homo-hater...

Bob Barr, from the great ~~hate~~ state of Gawjya, will run as a Libertarian over the objections of the Republican Party, which has used spoilers against the Democrats for decades, much to the chagrin of clued-in liberals everywhere.

Most Republicans who asked him not to run "also said they understand why I'd run and why John McCain is not conservative and will not seriously tackle the growth in government power and spending," he said. "Some said they would vote for me if I ran, but for the sake of the Republican Party, they would prefer I didn't." [The Washington Times]

This is why the Republicans win and the good guys lose-- they know that all that matters is to win, at any cost, with the strongest general election candidate possible. Which is why they nominated John McCain, friend of the Independents and foe of the Commies, and why the Democrats finally figured this out, too, and nominated ~~Al Gore The Improved~~. No, wait, ~~John Edwards~~. Never mind.

Some fun facts about Bob Barr:

1) Has 36% name recognition with voters. By way of comparison, 84% of voters corrrectly identified Barack Obama as the guy from the Taliban.

2) May detract from McCain's vote total. The Washington Times notes the recent Zogby poll that found "45 percent of likely voters favoring Mr. Obama, 42 percent for Mr. McCain, 3 percent for Mr. Barr and 1 percent for Ralph Nader, with 8 percent undecided." Barr defeats Nader! We can see the Chicago Tribune headline now...

3) Led the impeachment against Bill Clinton. Of course, has made no move to apprehend the real criminal, George W. Bush. Partisan bastard.

4) Ironically, it was the Libertarian Party's ads attacking Barr for preferring continued government attacks on marijuana and an escalation in the wasteful War on Drugs that some say led to his defeat in 2002.

5) "Authored and co-sponsored the Defense of Marriage Act," "proposed that the Pentagon ban the practice of Wicca in the military," while nonetheless working with the dreaded ACLU to make sure the government leaves Americans to their private practices of possessing thermo-nuclear detonators and land mines. [Wikipedia]

In other words, he makes John McCain look like Ho Chi Min.

Sloppy Seconds: Special Pregnancy Edition

Emily Farris — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 18:12:00 GMT

We were trying really hard to not think too much about Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy. Really hard. But we can't get away from it. It's everywhere. Kind of like global warming: we can't really see it yet but everyone is talking about it and we know it's out there and that it's real and that someday it will affect us. Someday we will be filling the pages of Scanner with tales of Jamie Lynn and her baby and her baby daddy like we once did (and will probably continue to do) with Britney. But does the world really need or deserve this right now? No. Either way, it's happening, and there's nothing we can do to stop it. In fact, we're pretty sure that everything stopped happening everywhere so there would be no news to interfere with this the most breaking and important of all news, except you know, all the other pregnancies. So, we have to sit back and take it all in. Thus we bring you a special Pregnancy Edition of Sloppy Seconds:

Britney didn't know about Jamie Lynn's pregnancy until the rest of us did. (When we get knocked up, our sister will be the first person we tell, after our baby daddy).

Poor Lynne Spears. Her parenting book (say what?) is on hold "indefinitely."

Nickelodeon respects Lil Spears' decision to follow in her sister's footsteps.

Britney went shopping after she found out about Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. And no one noticed her new dark hair.

Lilly Allen! Everyone is so caught up with Jamie Lynn's pregnancy that they all forgot about yours. Well, we didn't Lilly!

The Enquirer is reporting that Rielle Hunter, a woman who was linked to Democratic hopeful John Edwards in a cheating scandal earlier this year, is six months preggers with his love child.

Edwards has denied an affair with Hunter and now a political operative close to Edwards' campaign is claiming to be the father. But this guy is also married with children of his own. Is he protecting Edwards? Was she sleeping with them both? Enquiring minds want to know!

Now, we know this is the Enquirer we're talking about here, but they've scooped scandals and been right in the past, so we're keeping an open mind.
