The Kerry-Edwards campaign won't release its videotape of Whoopi Goldberg's X-rated attack on President Bush during Thursday night's Democratic fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall.
But the press has decided to deep-six another, perhaps even more damaging tape - a recording of would-be second lady Elizabeth Edwards enthusiastically endorsing Whoopi's ugly rant.

Friday morning, Metro Network News reporter Glenn Schuck caught up with Mrs. Edwards on Manhattan's West Side. And when he asked about Goldberg's raunchy routine, she wasn't fazed a bit.
"A lot of people are going to be angry [at President Bush] - there's a lot to be angry about," she told Schuck. "It's a free country and people are going to express that anger."
Unfortunately [for Democrats], Schuck was rolling tape - and Mrs. Edwards' Whoopi blooper was broadcast at least once that day on New York's WABC Radio. [Schuck later confirmed to NewsMax that he did indeed interview Mrs. Edwards and recorded her remarks].
Hours after Mrs. Edwards put her foot in her mouth, the Kerry-Edwards team was furiously backpedaling on the Whoopster's outburst, with campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill insisting to reporters that Sen. Kerry, "does not approve of some of the remarks that were made last night and he has made that clear."
But what about Mrs. Edwards? Does Whoopi's filthy attack on President Bush still meet with her approval?
We don't know because the press won't confront her with her own taped comments, let alone play them in any of their news coverage of the still-swirling controversy.
But Metro News and WABC has the tape. [And so does NewsMax.] The mainstream press won't be able to keep this one bottled up much longer.
