It's not surprising that this "news" is being ignored. I realize that you, Danny, are supporting McCain for election this fall, but please, try to take that out of the equation.

This story inspires a great deal of doubt about its veracity. First, look at the source. It's a Wordpress blog. All of the articles I looked at were posted by "africanpress", but clicking on the link takes you to an invalid page. The front page shows a series of pictures that look like they've been scanned from passports or drivers licenses. No names are given, and none of the links work except for the one pointing to Scott Morgan. Mr. Morgan has a blog called "Confused Eagle" that he hosts on a tripod site.

Disregarding that, the story itself sounds doubtful. Michelle Obama, in a fit of rage, calls an editor of a web page in Norway known by a tiny, tiny fraction of the United States. In an attempt to get that editor to stop posting bad stories on his web site, says something so damaging to her husband's campaign that he's willing to try to bribe the editor to not publish it? Now, that same editor, instead of just posting the WAV file on his website, is giving it to FoxNews. FoxNews, being a business above all else, forgoes all the advertising they could be making huge amounts of money from, and decides to keep it a secret that they're going to broadcast this tape? FoxNews will be interrupting their regular shows to broadcast 39 minutes of a phone conversation? What could Michelle Obama have said for 39 minutes that would warrant playing? She could curse the United States to Hell and call for the downfall of the white race and it wouldn't warrant playing all 39 minutes. They'd play snippets of the conversation that were the most news worthy, and then provide the full "tape" for download on their web site, but they'd never play 39 minutes of a phone conversation on TV.
