In The Front Runner, Hugh Jackman nails the role of the idealistic presidential hopeful Gary Hart, who, in 1987, had droves of devoted youthful supporters and was predicted to win the 1988 election. Hart was outraged when reporters sniffed out a potential scandal and started digging into his private life. They found evidence of cheating with a young woman from Miami, Donna Rice. Before this, politicians had been “protected” – newspaper editors avoided scandal. But more women in the newsrooms and technology changed that old boys club.
Hart arrogantly refused to answer questions about adultery and fearing the worst, he dropped out of running. Here’s where the movie was a huge disappointment: People were a bit unsure about his guilt UNTIL The National Enquirer published the famous cover photo above. THAT ended Hart’s career, but there was NO mention in the film! The tabloid should get credit for this public service! Too bad The Enquirer is not interested in personal accountability for politicians TODAY…
About The Author
I’m an Enquirer girl; always have been since the 60’s as a young girl “perusing” my grandmother’s stack given to my mother periodically..My mother carried the torch and then so forth..Many many times I brought up stories on this forum that came to fruition published by the NE..They go where many other journals fear to go..BTW they hit DEMS and REPUBLICANS..kind of unique wouldn’t you say?
so be sure you arent an egoist who only cares for his own penis……………….
Hart was a disgusting disgrace
The Enquirer had major stories on Hillary’s lesbianism and published just a hint of it but not the bombshells.
They also had the same thing on Whitney Houston when no one believed she was a muffdiver which also turned out to be true.
But buried trump stories for big bux .
The only person who can REALLY tell us what happened is Donna Rice Hughes–and she’s not talking.
