[See NewsBusters for more.] In the first full weeknight since The National Enquirer tabloid published its unsubstantiated piece alleging that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz has been engaging in extramarital affairs, late-night comedy hosts Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel spent portions of their Monday monologues promoting the smear as legitimate and wondering how any woman could be interested in Cruz. On TBS, O'Brien proclaimed that the story marked a "big possible scandal for Ted Cruz" as "it's been reported that a contributor to CNN has been having an affair with Ted Cruz" so "all I can say is, way to go, Wolf Blitzer."
