National Enquirer stands by Bush booze story

As previously discussed, the National Enquirer says that Bush is hitting the bottle again.

From this (completely unverified and consider the source) post:

Ed Schultz just interviewed an editor with the National Enquirer. The editor said the paper stands by its story "150%" and would go to court over it if they had to. He said that they have 2 different sources for the story, and that the sources had been informing the National Enquirer about this story for about the last month or so. Notably, the editor said that a "highly respected" newspaper has also been working on the story and could well publish something on it in the next week or two.

Of course, as can be expected, there are other DUmmie posts speculating that this could all be a Rovian plot:

Ok. So why the hell are liberals believing the National Enquirer?

So AAR shows like Randi spent their time on the Enquirer/Booze story

Did another poster guess that Rove might have planted the Enquirer story?

The last one posits that the story might be true, but that it's been presented in the most sympathetic-to-Bush light. Alternatively, that Rove planted the story in the Enquirer in order to debunk it.
