This is big. This is something that we have been waiting for and will help us to plan how to move forward. Just ask yourself, why is she moving ahead NOW with a book deal when she still has another year of being Governor of Alaska ahead of her and supposedly is seeking the Republican nomination to run for President of the United States? What has changed? What indeed.
"There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about," Palin said in an interview today in which she announced the deal.
Damage control anyone?
Palin and HarperCollins would not say how much she was being paid. Asked why, the former Republican nominee for vice president said she didn't want to distract from the substance of the book.
"The idea is to focus on the content of the book and what's coming in terms of me being able to tell my story unrestrained and unfiltered," Palin said.
In other words without anybody asking her any questions of importance or requiring her to tell the truth.
The governor said details will be disclosed as required under Alaska law when her annual financial disclosures are due next March. Her advance from the publisher is likely to be paid in stages, though, and it's not clear if she has to disclose the full amount on that report or only the portion received in 2009, according to the state public offices commission.The strange truth is that this book will actually sell quite well, but not for the reasons that the publishers believe right now.
The book is to be published sometime in spring 2010. Palin will have a collaborator, who is expected to be chosen soon. The governor said she wants to do a lot of the writing herself, and that it will be her story and her words."It will be nice to put my journalism degree to work on this and get to tell my story, Alaska's story. There have been so many unauthorized books and publications that have spoken to somebody else's opinion of who I am, what my family represents and what Alaska is all about," she said.
Okay let me clear something up once and for all. Sarah Palin's story is NOT Alaska's story! Sarah Palin is an aberration up here, NOT the norm. The idea that she is the face of our state is one of the things that chaps the ass of true Alaskans like you cannot believe. She can go ahead and write her damn book, but do not say it represents the people of my beautiful state.
Okay now with this piece having fallen into place it is time for the truth to be revealed before Governor Palin has the chance to lie to the people of this country in book form for the bargain price of $24.99.
Come on my friends, time to crap or get off of the pot.
Well I certainly hope all her little SaraPac, TeamSarha etc. know NOW why they are wasting their money contributing to Palin's legal defense fund.
ReplyDeleteThis deal did not happen overnight and has obviously been in the planning for some time, likely prior to the defense fund being set up.
I am not too sure Palin is doing the deal now for any kind of "damage control." Until I KNOW WHO IS HOLDING ALL THIS INFO AND WHY THEY HAVE NOT COME FORWARD SOONER, I AM NOT GOING TO ASSUME THERE IS ANY INFO WAITING TO COME OUT.
Levi knowing who Trigg's mom is, is enough to make Palin act how on a book, especially with her falling popularity poll and the cold shoulder from the GOP and the growing awareness---yes, even on HER part-- that she will never be POTUS. In other words, realizing she will not make it as governor nor as POTUS is enough to make her "take the money and run." \
It is getting a book out before Levi does... it is getting the money from the deal before ANYONE drops a dime on her, BUT I AM NOT SURE ANYONE IS PLANNING ON DOING THAT.
Gryphen, if you have talked to specific people,who have told you specific things, that is one thing, but if this is just stuff you are hearing "on the grapevine" or reading comments sections, there may be a big zero coming.
Nothing would make me happer than to be wrong about the zero part,but I dont see her staying away from the Correspondence Dinner, nor her book deal signing as "evidence" that someone is about to let loose on her. I need more than gossip.
Nonetheless, the house of cards continues to fall, just now she will have enough money to not care as much.
Ethics complaint #15.
ReplyDeleteOne, no really reputable publishing house would welcome a book written in word salad, palinese ... whatever. Two, we could stop this book; if Levi speaks sooner rather than later, if whoever has the iceberg headed for SS Palin would simply release it .. this book would be a no-go. Three, my son works for Barnes and Noble. Should the book be written and released, when copies are gathering dust in the B&N warehouses, he can snag some copies for all of us should we desire them.
ReplyDeleteThis news was on Alaska News Nightly on KSKA this evening. It's true. Palin is "writing" a book....My brother first gave me the news when I met up w/him on the trail this evening. He and his wife and I laughed about it and we joked about Palin "licking her pencil" and pondering over her thoughts before she wrote on her legal pad.
ReplyDeleteI know that Gryphen read "Trailblazer" for us and I hope that he takes this "memoir" on as well and sends blog posts summarizing "the juicy parts". I would never spend a dime on a Palin book.
All of the political offices she's held were nothing more than a mistake. A mistake on the part of misguided Alaskan voters that she somehow convinced that she was "one of them". She's not one of the better examples of people in AK. In fact, she's one of the worst examples ever, and that even takes into account our "corrupt bastards club".
"HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS BEST" and Sarah will be laughing at you suckers all the way to the bank...luv it...go girl.
ReplyDeleteBest comment I read over at ADN about Palin's book (paraphased)"
ReplyDelete"Foreword by Sonja Harding."
Runner ups:
"Will it be in crayon?"
"Whose drawing the pictures?"
But seriously folks: Even if Palin makes a bundle and retires from politics, we will NOT have heard the last from her, or her family.
While money is wonderful and is a bit "win" for her over all the rest of us peons, money is NOT waht Palin craves. ATTENTION AND BEING SPECIAL IS WHAT SHE CRAVES AND WHILE GETTING THIS MONEY FOR A BOOK ABOUT HERSELF IS ATTENTION AND DOES MAKE HER SPECIAL, after spotlight dims, after the publicity stops, she is NOT going to be happy with a quiet little domestic ( tho wealthier) life and she will still have the need to fill the bottomless black hole in her soul and there will be no place for her to put this need except on her family.
Yes, she may get a tv show etc or radio, but unlike Rush, she still cannot talk coherently. Rush talks c.r.a.p. but he does talk in complete sentences.
Therefore,the only audience that will stay with her past the initial honeymoon will be the most die hard of her extremely base "base."
I doubt Palin will have a radio or tv talk show career for long, if at all.
Her loss of power, control and of the spotlight will darken this woman's soul further.
I still fear for the physical safety of those close to her. And GOD HELP TODD is he has an affair and is caught.
Bristol will be lured to stay by the glow of all the money mommie will have and Levi will have a harder fight on his hands for custody of Trip, BUT IF HE BLOWS THE WHISTLE ON PALIN, AND HE WILL HAVE TO IF SHE FIGHTS HIM ARD FOR TRIP LIKE SHE ATTACKED WOOTEN, LEVI WILL HAVE TO DROP THE HAMMER ON PALIN'S HEAD.
Dangerous times are ahead. Palin is a sick woman and a dangerous one.
@juju Palin will be laughing at the suckers who buy her book. They are the ones who are fools. Keep on believin'!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, her star has dimmed so much, and her family is such a national joke ("All My Palins!") that I think the "Christian" market is all she can appeal to. (As a mainstream Christian, I would not buy her book, but it is significant that she is being published by the Christian imprint of HarperCollins).
ReplyDeleteI never thought Palin's star would fall so far and so fast. But it did. She is a tabloid figure now--not really perceived as a serious "politician." That's one reason why she is rushing into the book. In another six months, no one will care.
Someone told her she had to do it to run for Prez, too. I wonder what personality conflicts we can look forward to with her co-writer! Will it be someone from PEOPLE?
You are right! She is one sick nucase. She thinks she is untouchable and I'm starting to agree!
ReplyDeleteGryphen are you sure there us more to babygate? She seems darn confident nothing will be released
Look at the really crazy comments her supporter made here. Why would they when tale the time to come here? Dies this person think Sarahs book deal proves anything? It just proves there are suckers out there who want to read about her. The sales are not going to be that big. She only has 18000 followers at twitter. That us nothing. Megan McCain has 3 times as many in only a few weeks
Also FYI palin just wrote today that another ethics complaint was dropped today. She called the complaints malicious. She really thinks she has not ever done anything wrong. A savvy emotionally stable polititician would never use the language she does. She is so inappropriate and not mentally fit to be in office.
Juju, you are a real class act. Are you the juju writing all over the topix site because that juju doesn't have much class either. What kind if person says Palin will be laughing at you. That is a pretty warped thing to say to fellow human beings juju. And I don't think Gov Palin is laughing at her critics. It's clear she is upset or she would not be so emotional in the state website.
ReplyDeleteGryphen- You were referring to Alaskans, right, when you said, "Come on my friends, time to crap or get off of the pot".
ReplyDeleteHarper Collins is owned by News Corp. who owns Faux News - she will likely to her book promo on faux only. It will sell to her base only.

What kind of hammers do you think Levi actually has? Whatever it is, it is the truth that will set them free. Wasilla could have a town hall meeting and ask for the FBI profile of the church fire arsonist. How much do the people know? Do they get press releases and updates? Are the investigators asking for help from the public and offering safety? Whoever did that is an extremists and needs to be locked up.
__ Dangerous times are ahead. Palin is a sick woman and a dangerous one. __
The book deal is old news and she is not looking well. I wouldn't make too much it. The higher she goes the lower she'll fall. She is a tyrant, the people will suffer until she is gone. Would her church convictions allow her to end the political ambitions?
Sarah will become a talking head and a bastion of hope to the dwindling NEOcon movement. She will get attention; she will get money, BUT she will no longer burden Alaska as a governmental figurehead NOR will she ever step foot in the Whitehouse.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't give a shit if she spews her hate on Fox News or at right to life dinners. I just want to sleep well at night knowing that she will no longer be in a position to cause the state of Alaska or the nation any harm....it looks like I'm getting my wish.
She'll just be a more feminine version of Ann Coulter, or a slightly thinner version of Rush Limbaugh. Those characters I can live with because I don't have to pay any attention to them.
I can choose what to watch on TV or whom to listen to on radio or what magazines or blogs to read.
Do you think the publisher knows that 3 generations of Heath/Palins have been pregnant before marriage? And that this abstinence thing is just a bunch of hypocrisy?
ReplyDeleteOr will they let Palin lie about elopement to save money,etc.?
She's not releasing the payment for the "book" because she's afraid that donations by hard working Americans to SarahPac and her family Trust Fund might dry up if people knew she just got millions, and could pay her own legal and other bills.
ReplyDeleteThe truly sad part of this is that she has sucked people in with her SarahPac, and her Alaska Fund Trust all the while knowing that she had this million dollar book deal in the works. Her die hard supporters will learn, I just hope and pray the truth comes out. I cannot believe that two more ethics complaints have been dismissed.
ReplyDeletePatience, patience. This is a common theme among deranged narcissists - riding high, then SPLAT. Palin WILL go splat, we just keep up the good work. Every contribution, no matter how small or large, helps push her political career to the garbage crusher. Everybody just do their part, and time will do its part as well. Forget the idiots who follow her around in pacs, blogs and twitter, concentrate on the bringing down the queen twit herself. Her sarahzombies will just cling on to someone else once she's gone - they are beyond help and hope. United we can, united we will!
ReplyDeleteI just sent an email to CREW voicing all my concerns, I encourage anyone else who will, please do.
ReplyDeleteI would like nothing better than Sarah to get a bunch of money, retire from politics, and maybe be a Faux News Talking Head. She has no business representing our country, the State of Alaska, or hold any other elected postion. Her book will be a pack of lies, but if her base wants to flush their money down the toilet so be it, more power to her. The book won't reveal anything.
ReplyDeleteLevi and those who know the truth hold all the power over her, if she is indeed hiding secrests about Trig, and other family skeletons in her overcrowded closet.
"Palin will be laughing at the suckers who buy her book. They are the ones who are fools. Keep on believin'!"
ReplyDelete----------------------------------------------------
Almost as bad as donating money to the deranged nut job who operates this website
Can you imagine the nightmare the collaborator will face when trying to make ANY suggestions to the ultimate narcissist Sarah Palin?
ReplyDeleteQuestion – which definition do you think best fits the collaborator who will assist Sarah Palin to write her “tell-all” book:
Noun
1. collaborator - someone who assists in a plot, henchman, partner in crime, confederate accessary, accessory - someone who helps another person commit a crime
2. collaborator - someone who collaborates with an enemy occupying force, collaborationist, quisling traitor, treasonist - someone who betrays his country by committing treason
3. collaborator - an associate in an activity or endeavor or sphere of common interest; "the musician and the librettist were collaborators"; "sexual partners"
I would not spend one cent for Sarah’s book, but I would be interested in the collaborator’s follow-up book describing his/her horrific experience with having to help Sarah with her book!
Good titles for her book that I stole from another blog:
ReplyDeleteExxonerated
Northern Overexposure
I find it interesting that she now has another job not related to being gov. Her Attorney says all of this has been cleared by the state before she signed and it's ok.
ReplyDeleteHow much did he charge to give legal advice on the book. How much will be paid out of the legal defense fund for his fees on this and so much more.
Sarah is not going to run for governor in 2010 it seems obvious to me. She is going to take the money and run. Tho I do feel she still has delusions about being President.
I suspect the panhandling monies have already paid those nasty legal fees. And probably contract negotiations, as well. Ol' Plain just didn't want to pay any legal fees out of her loot! Bankruptcy, indeed!!
ReplyDeleteApparently, Sarah's ability to write this book has been cleared "ethically" with the following caveat:
ReplyDeleteJudy Bockmon, an assistant attorney general, said it appears the book deal would be permissible under the act as long it is not incompatible with Palin's official responsibilities and she doesn't use state resources, like her staff or her office, for personal gain.
Does this mean that Sarah can't write this book in the Wasilla "Ice Queen" palace whenever she is on per diem there?
kygirl1915, good on you to write to CREW about SP. As ethics troubleshooters, the CREW staff are highly regarded here in D.C.--except by the wingnut faction, which has reason to fear the organization.
ReplyDeleteOne of the savviest people I know hadn't heard that Samuel J. Wurzelbacher (Joe the Unlicensed Plumber) has a "book" out. To show what a dead dog this is, there are virtually no used copies for sale at Amazon.com selling for less than the current list price. That means that few people are buying it, if they're not receiving it as a bulk-buy "premium" from far-right "news" sources such as NewsMax. Samuel J. didn't write his book any more than GINO will.
Not to diss your decision, ProChoiceGrandma (I enjoy and admire your posts), but I have a large collection of Washington-type books, mostly bought at giveaway prices. And I would pay "one cent" each for SP's and JTP's oeuvres, to shelve alongside the unthrilling "political thrillers" penned by Marilyn Quayle and her sister; the novel by I. Lewis Liebowitz--excuse me, Scooter Libby--that details child prostitution involving "satisfying many men in a night" and sexual congress with bears, set in a snowed-in rural inn in northern Japan; and "1945," by Newt Gingrich. In the latter, a hussy sits "athwart" a man and hisses, "Tell me, or I shall make you do terrible things!" I am not making up any of this, but how I wish I were!
The only thing Levi is gonna spill is that he has proof that Palin knew he and Bristol were sexually active, and didn't do much to prevent it besides sending Bristol to live with her aunt for awhile. I'm starting to believe that there really is nothing to find and that Sarah Palin did have that baby, and she is just a wreck of a mother.
ReplyDeleteIt is finally sinking in that babygate is not gonna break and bring Palin down.
I think I will stop hoping for that, and start hoping that her own shortcomings will do it.
This hope of a scandal that will stop Palin once and for all has taken up way too much of my time. I really need to realize that this part of the story is over.
Her book is just going to cement for people who may be on the fence that she had that baby. Especially since no one is going to come forward. I've about had it with this mess
I think its time you Gryphen crap or get off the pot. You yell the loudest, but still stay silent yourself. You profess to know secrets, but you will sit on it in the hopes that someone else will reveal it and you don't have to stand behind it. I think its a bit cowardice to sit on your supposed secrets all the while screaming for someone else to spill them.
ReplyDeleteYou will take money from people and not tell them how and what you found out with thier money. How is that ethical Gryphen. I don't think people are paying you to keep secrets. I am starting to regret my donation.
Well, the news about her wanting to write a book is old news - I believe the story came out sometime in either January or February - and that the price tag is a cool ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
ReplyDeleteWonder who actually will write the book, since her word salad jumble of words is unintelligible and indigestible. I guess her book will be one of those give-away books from the right winger sites - if you subscribe to their drivel, they will send it to you for free. (Just like Coultergeist's book is being bought up in bulk and then given away for free - that is the reason her books are on the best seller list at all...)
She should reveal to her loyal lemmings how much she is making. Isn't that only right? Here they are donating money for her legal fees (supposedly) but on the other hand, she gets a lot of money for a book deal?
ReplyDeleteI agree with whomever said this is old news. We all knew this was going to happen. The great news is that she probably will not run for gov in 2010. The other fantastic news is that she will run for President in 2012 and that will be highly entertaining!! If she thinks the mean ole bloggers and media have been hard on her, just wait until she sees what her Republican opponents do!! Plus it is then a guaranteed win for Obama.
Isn't it sad really that Sarah actually thinks she has the support to be president? That shows how mentally ill she is. Narcissist and delusional.
Thanks Mrs. TBB. And I do not feel dissed at all! I simply refuse to contribute even one penny that would add to the coffers of a conniving liar like SP.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, I enjoy your posts. You always have intelligent and interesting comments.
I'm afraid Sarah still thinks she was born (again) to be president, and since they say the most charismatic person always wins the election, she still scares me. I keep wishing someone ELSE would write a book about her, one that told the truth and gathered together all her little backstabbings and weird religious practices and horrible child rearing practices and unethical/illegal behaviors together in one place, garnished with her ridiculous word salad. Now that book I would buy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm wondering if someone in the Palin Echo Chamber ran a post on you; you seem to have a lot of trolls today.
Everyone that is sick of her unethical behavior should be emailing CREW, I think it will take more than one person. I brought up the fact that she's had several ethics complaints dismissed, I want to know WHY!!! I also, brought up her house, that should definitely be looked into, I don't care if it was when she way a Mayor. And I directed them to the Palin Deception Blog, because her platform and her book are going to be based on her dysfunctional family. Someone has to pay attention.
ReplyDelete@Anon 9:25. I write on here all the time and don't identify my "Christian" affiliation. In case you haven't noticed, other places are trying to brand this blog as "anti-Christian." I revealed in that reply that I was a Christian because Palin's book is being printed by the Christian imprint of Harper Collins, and I do not support Palin or her book.
ReplyDeleteGryphen knows the amount of posts I write on here which have nothing to do with my "Christianity." I only bring it up to combat issues of non-mainstream Christianity. Other progressive Christians on here do the same.
I am sorry you can't see the relevance of that comment to this specific issue, and were offended by it. (Your anger towards Christianity is evident, but not all Christians are the same. My voting profile matches Dennis Kucinich 100%, for example.)
Alaska Report:
ReplyDeleteRumor Central: Big story still heading towards the S.S. Palin
A deal-breaker is heading toward the Palins. Can it be stopped? I don't think so. Will it topple the house of cards, all signs say yes. Stay tuned...
I am seriously troubled by the operator of this site and I am regretting my donation. He talks a big game but doesn't provide anything and it is crystal clear that Trig is Sarah Palin's child, this whole thing is getting tiring and wasting people's time, not to mention the mental issues that some people have here. I have seen the light so to speak.
ReplyDeleteGryphen is just scamming people or can't you see that?
Gryphen is nothing but a scam artist who hides behind a fake name.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to smear somebody and their family, at least have the stones to put your name name out.
I wish you people would actually concentrate on Palin's political moves and decisions instead of this crap about who her "real" kid is.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't helping people like me at all ... it is embarrassing.
The Audacity of Nope....
ReplyDeleteFEDUP!!! I'd like to see someone do a write up on the bulk book sales, I don't know that enough people know how that works and how they get on the New York Times 'bestseller' list. Sarah said she wants a bestseller and she is guaranteed to have one with that scam.
ReplyDeleteBristol has hit the big time with her new abstinence gig.
http://tiny.cc/BPfairy
Has anyone heard if Tripp is awake yet?
AKPetMom expressed my feeling on the matter well at 9:59pm. Falin' will always find some way to draw attention to herself, and grift money from some faction of believers, but as long as she has no political power to drunkenly run the ship of state, I will be content.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, do not allow yourself to be "baited" by the trolls. The truth will come out eventually, but since GINO and her crew do not seem to concern themselves with laws and ethics and moreover, have a nasty and vindictive nature the SAFETY and ANONYMITY of your sources must be protected.
I regret to say this folks, but we may be waiting until GINO no longer is in office before the people who know about the dirt on her feel safe enough to come forward and speak openly.
I'm going to Idaho this time mommy.
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:46 said - "It is finally sinking in that babygate is not gonna break and bring Palin down.
ReplyDeleteI think I will stop hoping for that, and start hoping that her own shortcomings will do it.
This hope of a scandal that will stop Palin once and for all has taken up way too much of my time. I really need to realize that this part of the story is over."
That's what I am starting to think also, too :( I don't live in Alaska (I'm in MD) and Palin wasn't on my radar at all until I, like many others, became utterly fascinated by what came out of her mouth. And, as you all know, that continued to worsen during the campaign. Even though I knew from the beginning where my vote was going, it was hard not to watch the McCain/Palin trainwreck (yea, him too).
Believe it or not, it wasn't until after the election that I heard anything at all about the whole Trig mystery!! "They" squashed that story so well that the MSM I read dropped it like a hot potato. I think the only reason I did come across this story is because things about her and her family continued to be reported in the media...and of course...continues to snowball today. I may not have ever known about this, but I have a habit of following links on the internet and must have been following a political news item (like many others, I never want to see her near the national stage, ever again!)and came upon one of the Alaska blogs (prob Mudflats). And from there I began to learn about babygate. And believe me, I've been so fascinated by the question itself, I've read any and everything I can find about it.
I don't hate Sarah Palin or her family and quite frankly, I feel somewhat confident that she won't ever reach the national stage now, based on the wide dissemination of now known information about her and her history of governance, among other things. Hell the repugs don't want her either! So I have a measure of comfort there that I can be satisfied with.
Will the full extent of her corruption ever be revealed? Perhaps, but it will likely have to be done thoroughly by Alaskan MSM before the L48 really picks up on it. But that leaves babygate - an incredulous story that actually could be true. Hey, my husband works for the Pentagon and if you don't think our gov't is doing some wild stuff and gross coverups we'll never know about, trust me, you're fooling yourself!
Gryphen, obviously you know something. I've felt convinced enough to throw some support your way. I know you don't want to jeopardize what may be a delicate situation, at this point, but I can see why some are giving up hope on this. To hear from you on this would be encouraging. I appreciate all that you and the other bloggers have done with this and the others stories.
Palin “writing” a book? You mean like stringing words, thoughts and sentences together that make sense? Oh, but that is what the “collaborator” does. Good luck with to whomever works with the Meme first, last and always prima dona.
ReplyDeleteBut then maybe all that integrity, honesty, compassion, good works, altruism, personal responsibility and accountability, and a loving, caring attitude are (here you can fill in the blanks as I am sure there are more) some things that Sarah Heath Palin has been hiding from us. Perhaps she is not really self-centered and apparently narcissistic, as she operates on the assumption that she can and will do, will say anything to meet her unbridled quest for power and fame, regardless of who dares to get in her way.
Perhaps Palin did not use her children without caring or attention to their needs. When little Trig was carted around during the campaign without regard to his well-being, security, comfort, and needs, well ya know there might be a really good reason for that! And then, too, there also when Piper and Willow were not allowed to attend school as their mother dragged them around the country while she pontificated and pranced around the GOP stages.
Or when Palin sacrificed her teen-aged Bristol to the masses as she announced Bristol’s pregnancy; to the world. It just looked like nothing was sacred, and no-one was spared any discomfort or humiliation in Palin’s world. We may have missed that Palin really is a nurturing, attentive, loving and available parent.
No matter what the situation, no matter how blatantly obvious the circumstances, whatever the law states, Palin seems to get another free pass to do whatever she wants.
There are no consequences for her behaviors; so then, she continues to act out in the same self-destructive and manipulative ways--because she can.
Despite the many Palin “gates“, there still remains only suspicion, rumors and innuendoes. Unfortunately, the law requires hard evidence, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, reliable witnesses to attest to the alleged facts--clear and convincing evidence that support the allegations.
Where are those witnesses? Why are they not coming forth with their information? What are their reasons for holding on to that information? I do not know.
I do know it is very strange that one person has a long list of questionable, illegal, unethical allegations surrounding her since she was mayor of Wasilla. It is certainly frustrating to have parts of a puzzle, but also have some pieces missing. It is akin to intuitively knowing what this person is all about--you just “know”--but you just can’t prove it--yet. Hopefully, there will be some resolution and the truth will be revealed.
Maybe Teflon Sarah will reveal all in her coloring book next year. As of now, we are left with this person who makes and breaks the rules as she goes along her destructive path of life in the wake of victims along the way.
Let me say first that my comments will be, well, controversial. But, here goes. There's something wrong - deeply, darkly, absolutely - wrong in the Palin family. There's too much of all the classic signs: acting out (Track, Bristol), care-taking (Willow), enabling (Todd), cute clowning (Piper) and serious dysfunction all around: minimizing, rationalizing, switching, denying, etc. At the very least Sarah is at the center of some very powerful, unhealthy family power dynamics. But I wonder, what else is the story here? Others have mentioned Grampa Heath's refering to kids losing underwear as an odd marker. But I'm wondering about Todd. Many blogs ago, during the campaign, there was a question about Bristol being Sarah's child by another man with whom she had an affair. Who knows, who cares. But what I do wonder about is if Todd, as this oldest girl in the house sexually matured, somehow balanced Sarah's power in the really evil way this can sometimes happen. Once skeptical, I have become convinced that Trig was Bristol's child. Sarah Barracuda, we know, will not allow anyone or anything to get in her way as she drives for the goal. So, I just wonder what in that family is so desperately kept secret, that there's such a powerful and concerted effort to keep it covered up. I would not be surprised, is all I'm saying. Something's really, really wrong in that family.
ReplyDeleteActually midnightcajun, some of these comments might not be from trolls. I can see why some people are frustrated because we have been hearing something is going to come out and then she announces a book deal and in the announcement mentions about when Trig was born. The woman is getting away with this. I think Gryphen needs to tell the people who are supporting him what he knows. If people swore him to secrecy, they sure aren't keeping to their part of the bargain. I don't want to lose faith-I believe firmly that she is not the mother and it needs to come out. Palin thinks she is practically on the same level as God and that is quite frightening. She is a very evil and dangerous person and must be stopped.
ReplyDeleteIF Palin is NOT Trigg's mom, then Levi ( and Bristol) most likely know that fact.
ReplyDeleteIF either of them reveals this, then Palin is ruined. This one fact is a big "hammer." As well, I am sure both of them know a great deal of information just from being "family" that Palin would hate to have revealed. Certainly they could affirm/confirm much of the lying Palin has dished out. Example: just insider information on Troopergate.
When I state Palin is dangerous, it is because I know the height from which she will fall and I understand how narcissist psychology works. I truly believe there will be physical violence, if in fact there has not already been i.e. I suspect Palin has involvement with the Wasilla church fire, have no doubt the babies are being drugged for appearances, have good info Palin slashed tires on Todd's previous affair, and her story about the trip from Texas to Wasilla is as "violent" as you can get IF it was true and shows a "violent" turn of mind if, in fact, she made it up as part of her story about being Trigg's mom. I do not believe Palin was pregnant and feel the "attempted murder" of Trigg's birth, were it true, would be worse than covering for Bristol's first pregnancy.
Remember, that Levi can ask for visitation for ALL is sons, so if Trigg is Levi's boy as well as Tripp, then Levi can ask for DNA paternity testing !
Anything Levi puts into a book about Palin can be considered a "hammer."
Another commenter above mentioned what kind of Ghost Writer can work with Palin. EXCELLENT POINT--I doubt the publisher knows what they will be up against with a real narcissist and this may delay or even ruin this book ever being published ! PALIN WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND WHEN SHE TRIES TO SPIN I.E. LIE IN THE BOOK, THE PUBLISHERS MAY HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL !
Palin's book will be a disaster. No collaborator will be able to handle it. I agree with those who say it will be turned in late, at best.
ReplyDeleteThe "closed" cult quality of what surrounds Palin and her family is off-putting to most folks.
Anon 11:07 I think you are right on about the Palin family. Something is seriously dysfunctional there or you would not have a young girl pregnant twice before 18. Keeping the secret is talked about in every book on child abuse. To the Alaskans who know something, stop keeping secrets. I hate to say this but that includes Gryphen. Is that you real name? It's ok if it isn't, I would not blame you but you should tell us the truth about that and Trig Palen. Levi is not going tell anytthing. Clearly he's being held hostage by the Palins. I would not count on him to be revealing anything. He should though!!! Enough with all the secrets. It's hurting those children , not protecting them!
ReplyDeleteSo Gryphen quite a few are asking what you know. Are you going to answer?
These people are right Gryphen. You cannot take money promising that you will find answers for them, and then keep those answers to yourself.
ReplyDeleteMaybe an ethics complaint could be filed with the board of Immoral Minority...LOL
Um...I guess I'll add my 2 cents. IMO nothing will be told at least until after Sherry's trial which begins next Monday (May 18th). Waiting for the next event in "All my Palin's" is the most exciting part of this whole story. Relax and ignore the umm (Greta, GINO, Todd, Meg) Trolls!
ReplyDeletePS. What's with all these Anonymous posters all of sudden. Things that make you go HMMMMM.
Yeah Gina I noticed the sudden influx of comments asking me to hurry up and spill the beans too, even though currently the beans are only half baked.
ReplyDeleteI am sure most of you know that if I were to talk before ALL parties were ready I would NEVER get them to confirm in public what they have told me in private. By not breaking my promises I hope that they will keep theirs.
I especially enjoyed the comment from "Andrew Halcro". Anybody who knows him would know that he would NEVER leave a comment like that.
But to be fair if you simply cannot stand the suspense any longer then take a break. You don't have to visit here everyday if you do not want to. When the story breaks it is not like there is any chance you will miss it. It will receive TONS of coverage.
And for those who did contribute money I would like to once again say thank you and that I am trying to make your investment pay off.
Slow down everyone! Remember that we are dealing with a ruthless woman who apparently has nearly the unlimited power of the machinery of state at her disposal.
ReplyDeleteI will type this slowly: it may not be safe for the informants to publicly come forward until her term of office ends in Nov 2010.
I'll bet they're "Sarah Palin's Own Army" of "bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie" (January 13, 2009 Esquire).
ReplyDelete"I am sure most of you know that if I were to talk before ALL parties were ready I would NEVER get them to confirm in public what they have told me in private. By not breaking my promises I hope that they will keep theirs."
ReplyDeleteAnd what is "their" promise? Will they talk this year or next? How long before this is supposed to go down. What are they waiting on? Courage? Balls? Or Payment?
What is holding them back Gryphen? Who cares if you can get them to confirm in public? Once its out, if there is proof, then it can't be denied, right?
At least give us a timetable as to when we can expect a return on our investments. I'm afraid a little bone needs to be thrown here, the "I know something you don't know" song is getting kinda old, and patience is wearing thin.
If no hints then at least a time frame? Please?
Or are you scared of the big bad Palin Witch too?
@Gryphen, thank you for not taking any bait on here from "supporters" or trolls.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you totally know how to handle whatever it is you are doing. I think folks who are posting taunts to you should pause, take a breath, and count to three before hitting "Post Comment."
Or hey, they could start their own blogs! Or roll up their own sleeves and do some investigative work, too...
Yeah Gryphen I noticed that crazy comment from "Andrew Halcro". That's finally what made me comment. I'm sure it's the Cee4Pee'rs. Talk about a bunch of "whackjobs".
ReplyDelete@7:34pm Obviously you're not a regular here. The taunting sounds like a certain Gov or maybe one of her minions.
"Others have mentioned Grampa Heath's refering to kids losing underwear as an odd marker."
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a damned odd thing to say. I've had two kids and neither one of them has ever "lost" any underwear. Outgrown it, worn it out, had it discarded by Mom as preferable to washing it- yes. Lost it? Not even once. Where are these kids removing their underwear, that it doesn't get put into the laundry?
KaJo, do you suppose Sarah is taking over Joel's Army? Sarah's Army and Joel's Army seem to consist of the same demented ignorant but dangerous congregation.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, we will be patient. Thanks for all your work and dedication!
I wrote as Anon 10:18 only because I don't know how to use the signature thingy if you don't have a link? Anyway, having not posted much, I hadn't figured that out. It was not my intent to taunt Gryphen into revealing all, I was just expressing my own personal frustration (not that it's different from anyone else's). I totally understand that this whole issue needs to be handled in the best way, by those closest to it, in this case, Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteSo being quite removed from the frozen Tundra as I am, I have no choice but to wait..lol..and try to do so patiently. One thing I do have is faith that what is "right" will prevail and justice will be served. Anyone over 40 knows that what goes around, comes around!
This blog and others do help in venting frustration, so I'm happy to support and thanks for understanding :)

ps - not to be a pest - but can you post the timeframe?
G, I also, too, am a patient patient.

You know what? This book will be a gift, also too! Winkin', no-blinkin' Sarah is so full of herself, so righteous and self-referential, that she will let it rip when she gets to tell her big whoppers all tied up with a ribbon. Actually, the more I think about her and narcissistic personality disorder ways, the more I think she will use the book as a way to channel all that grandiosity and rules-don't-apply-to-me into a revisionist history that's just gonna be bodacious! Think about it. Sarah gets to have her say. Sarah recognizes no boundaries, normal societal mores, or even the law. What Sarah is not ignorant about, she willfully ignores to suit herself. She displays no empathy, demonstrates no parental responsibility regarding her children's right to privacy, and apparently is clueless (or worse, doesn't care) that her toxic combination of neglect and exploitation of her children reveals her true character. Hid and watch, as we say here in Texas. She's going to deconstruct during the "writing" process, probably churn through some number of collaborators, and ultimately accomplish her objective of telling it HER way. Delicious to think how awful this will be for her. She'll have the money, but no collaborator will stand between Sarah and her special spin, and she will succeed in telling it her way. And who, in that process, will hold up the reality mirror and point out to her what a wholly unbelievable/deceitful/dysfunctional/toxic/laughable HOT MESS her story, told HER way, will be? The collaborator will have a job to do to get the narrative down, the publisher just wants to sell units, and no one will care to do the fact checking. I can't wait. And then who's she going to blame when she gets caught out? Yum.
ReplyDeleteFYI - Phil Munger over at Progressive Alaska has a new post re: Palin's book deal and how since the announcement, the Johnston's "tone" has changed? Hmmmm...? Although, I haven't seen any response from the Johnston's since announcement?
ReplyDeleteSherry Johnston has a Lorenzo Benet article

and momlogic.com
They also have a piece on
Parents Are Drugging Kids for an Academic Edge!
I suggest all you Anon TROLLs Phuck off! Everyone else just chill, if you look at Alaska Report there has been a article about the SS Palin hitting a iceberg! It will happen when it happens!
ReplyDeleteSo CHILL out!! Gryphen can't make it happen before it time...like a cake baking, its ready when its ready. And Faux Andro Halcro, lol...
I'm going to donate $ to Gryphen thanks to you! I'm sure your raiding you piggy banks to give to the GINO slush fund, LOL!!!!!!
