Many of you have wondered how long it would take before the people of Wasilla started to speak out against the Palin family. Well now you know.

From Life & Style Weekly:

Lance Nezaticky, a former classmate of Willow's, tells Life & Style that he watched as Willow took part in a drug transaction in a deserted Target parking lot in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, around 1 a.m. on a December night last year. Lance, 18, watched as a male driver pulled up, with Willow riding in the passenger seat. The driver bought $20 worth of marijuana, says Nezaticky, then handed it to Willow. "It was definitely her," Nezaticky tells Life & Style. "There's no question. I had met her before." After buying roughly 2 grams of pot, Willow and her companion drove off. "Willow had been told that the pot was really good stuff," Nezaticky recalls.

Another peer, Matt Scott, 19, shockingly reveals to Life & Style that on Oct. 25, 2009 he looked on as Willow hid herself away at a house party and took swigs straight from a bottle of liquor. Imran Chaudhry, now 19, was also at the party and confirms an underage Willow was guzzling vodka. "I saw her drinking from a bottle of Monarch," he tells Life & Style. "She was chugging it pretty hard." Worried that she'd be spotted, Willow ran to the bathroom and locked herself in with Matt, who also had a bottle of vodka. "She was like, 'I just want to drink,'" Matt tells Life & Style. "She chugged it, then walked out of the bathroom."

Some of you have questioned why I have brought coverage of Sarah Palin down to a tabloid level.

But to be completely honest I didn't.  I just followed where Sarah Palin led, and here we are!

She was the one to start communicating with her fans through People, Us Weekly, Facebook. Twitter, TMZ, and other less than reputable media outlets.  I simply found that in order to really understand, and explain, what Palin was doing, I had no choice but to call her out in a similar fashion.

It has long been my assertion that Sarah Palin, and unfortunately her family, will be undone by the very gossip magazines that she has relied on to speak to her less than literate followers.

And here we have a very "tabloid-y" story about her middle child who, from what I have been hearing, has been raging out of control for over a year now.  It was really only a matter of time before her wild behaviors found their way into the tabloids. And trust me, this is not the worst of it. Not by a long shot.

In fact, much like her older brother, I think that Willow may be developing a fairly serious problem, and if the Palin's can stop chasing money and fame for a few minutes it would be in their best interests to get the teenager some help. As embarrassing as this story will be, it could be that wake up call that salvages this young lady's future.  Locking yourself in a bathroom and saying "I just want to drink" should chill the blood of any loving parent.

Now what I would really like to see is for the adults in Wasilla to follow the lead of these young men, shift the attention OFF of Willow and the rest of the children, and start dishing the real dirt on Sarah and Todd Palin. 

I would also like them to sac up and use their real names like Lance Nezatick, Matt Scott, Imran Chaudhry just did. If they were to do that, we might be able to put this family out of our misery in a just matter of weeks.

And before anybody starts throwing Willow a pity party, remember her now famous Facebook attack on an old schoolmate (Which might have had something to do with these young people stepping forward by the way.), and that her mother has invited this kind of scrutiny by putting her family on national television and attempting to mythologize them to serve her selfish political ambitions.

If Sarah Palin had not trotted her family out onto the national stage, I might argue that they should remain off limits.  But since she continues to use them as political props, and a shield against criticism, I am afraid they are permanently in the line of fire.

Which is really too bad because Willow is still my favorite Palin. 

I still really believe that someday she might very well write the must read "behind the scenes" story about her freakish family. And I for one will pre-order my copy the minute she warms up her keyboard.

    I agree with you, Gryphen. While Sarah has brought on this intense tabloid scrutiny of her family, and her kids are developing many serious problems as a result, she can't really cry "Victim" here when her daughters have been thrust by her into the limelight, time and again. I'm recalling years ago when Ben Affleck was complaining about the intense media coverage of his relationship with Jennifer Lopez and a reporter called him out on his behavior, saying, "Well, but the two of you have been actively COURTING the media. Why wouldn't we cover you when you want coverage?"

    You can't have it both ways. You can't put yourself or your family into the world spotlight and not expect an intense amount of coverage. Given that is simply a fact of life, you'd better make damned sure that your own kids and grandkids are experiencing lots of nurturing, open communication with their parents, and the grounding of regular schooling, etc. For me, what Sarah has done with her kids as far as continually taking them out of school, forcing them to "home school" (Which consists of being dragged off to the latest shooting of her reality show, or a magazine shoot, or being in a magazine photo spread) is total child abuse. No wonder it isn't ending well for either Willow or Bristol. And poor Piper!

    If Sarah gives a shit about her family's well-being, she'll head home and spend time with her family. It's not too late to be there for them.

    Any way to get in touch with the three guys who spilled the beans on this? They may have a lot more to say, and whether they do or not, I wouldn't be surprised if the Palin camp are plotting ways to intimidate them into silence as we speak. If she does try to intimidate them, and they are not afraid to expose her methods, such "guilty" behavior could in and of itself be rather revealing to know.

  10. Why Palins?12:23 PM

    These stories are heartbreaking, true or not. A question on the first one, though. I know nothing of the drug culture. How could an observer see how much marijuana was being purchased?

    What is the difference between Palin-kid drug use and that of other politicos? I think that if you can get the word out about these people so they can help their kids, it will be great, but I'm not sure they are operating with a caring deck of cards. Would it be the blind leading the blind? How would a Ph.D. handle people who think that consequences are for the little people? Would he or she have to know how to work with narcissistic personalities? The doctor needs to know he or she will be called a quack and most likely be tossed under the bus.

    Do consider that Democrats have also had kids who were drug users if not the politicians themselves. How do we explain why Palins are people to be concerned about?

    I agree with you, this lady is clueless and shouldn't be elected because she has no grasp of policy, but so many people say that the kids have nothing to do with the politician.

    The only reason I disagree that the kids are not off limits is this premise: if Lindsay Lohan had not been bombarded by press (like other more unfortunate starlets), she may have well have recovered from her addiction. Paparazzi most definitely plays a pivotal role in feeding the behavior. Why do you think one by one stars are beginning to turn the tables on thees dumbasses with cameras? I'm the last person who's about to believe two teenagers who obviously have issues themselves. See their facebooks

    And Sarah does not use her kids and she especially has not used Willow for anything. Willow is the one who enjoys traveling with her.

    Timelines: Dec 09 - family attended HUGE gathering in Washington for thansgiving, Willow went to Hawaii just before xmas, xmas palins had many family members over for gathering, march-bristol films show/psa, family attends idol, invited to gifting suite, Family attends TIME100 and Bristol +cousin give talk at candies benefit. SPAlaska begins filming in June. The whole family hangs out together the entire summer.

    I know people in Wasilla and around Alaska who have truth to tell about Sarah and Todd may fear her litigious attitude. Seems you look at her sideways and she has Van Flein go after you.

    I bet if Sarah made moves against anyone speaking out (including Mercede and these courageous young men), readers would contribute to a legal defense fund that would make Sarah PAC look puny.

    I hoping she doesn't try because it will convince America that she is indeed a thin-skinned, vindictive harpy. If she would rise above the fray, rise above the criticism like an adult, she might improve her image.

    However, if she files against anyone or has someone make threats against anyone who is brave enough to come forward as a named source, more people will rise up against her.

    Here's hoping the adults will follow the example of their children. If everyone stands together, Sarah cannot withstand the power of truth.

    Thanks to the young people who have finally said, "Enough!" and come forward. I hope the adults in the community follow their example and show that they, too, have guts and believe in truth.

    To the person who said, "What is the difference between Palin-kid drug use and that of other politicos?"

    Simple. Sarah has based her persona on being a devout Christian and good mother. As in her current reality show, she presses this persona hard. It is the basis for her appeal (along with her looks and tiresome repetition of sound bites condemning our President and any progressive ideas).

    If she did not pretend to be such a god-fearing, right-living woman whose children follow in her righteous footsteps, perhaps no one would care.

    She herself is the one who made her children the centerpiece of who she is. Other politicos do not shove their children into the spotlight and use them as props and centerpieces. She is the one responsible for the spotlight on them.

    She and Todd's parenting skills are already rather shabby considering the vandalism of Track and Willow, the pre-martial sex and unwed motherhood of Bristol, and the rather unpleasant precociousness of little Piper. These parents do not show any indications of caring about the privacy or welfare of their children.

    One observation: Tre, Matt, and Inman hang together. According to the FB rant, Willow has no idea who Tre (a big partier and thuggish dumbass) is. Considering how Willow addressed the guys, I'm not convinced in the least that she's EVER partied/hung out with them. Willow seems to be a group date/all girl date type of teen. I've never seen her associate with a lot of these thugs. I do know there's a fraction of students who don't like the Palins (because of their parents dislike for them) so I'm gonna say this "story leak" stems from that.

    If you dissect Matt's comments in the rant, anyone could have predicted that the tmz thing wouldn't be the end. coincidental that the same people who turned the fb rant into tmz are the two who started the drinking/pot story? Though WIllow knows everyone (small town) she has a tight circle of people she hangs with.

    You don't have to be a druggie to determine how much weed is in a bag because news outlets, magazines and newspapers have run educational alerts about drugs in the past.

    If you cook, you know approximately how many ounces of an herb are in a small container or bag. Goodness, this isn't rocket science. You can eyeball an estimation rather accurately.

    Why not educate yourself if you don't know this? There are online sources that try to teach parents and children how to recognize drugs and avoid them.

    Being aware and alert does not require drug usage. It just takes a desire to learn and basic library or online research. I am not trying to insult you. I am trying to explain how easy it is to become informed.

    I enjoyed Willow's comments about abstinence in another recent interview, where "sex is bad" and she "learned not to have sex." The question remains, what does Willow do and did she really want to open that door? There are other sexual activities which are not actually the sex act, but can result in STD or AIDS. Willow does have some mouth on her.

    I hope that Mark, Bristol's dancing partner, is concerned about his own future if there is to be another season of DWTS. It might be in his best interest to pull up lame, stick his foot out so Bristol trips, or just whirl her a little bit too hard.

    If Bristol wins, it will look like a fix, and hopefully that series won't have much of a following. So, Mark, look on it like job insurance. You'll want the job next year, and Bristol, thanks to her mother, will always find some kind of audience.

    (If any of you are into Face book or twitter and know how to reach Mark, please pass along my message. Thanks).

    Hmm. A teenager drinking and smoking pot. Not a big deal where I'm from.

    But the Palin's are in the public eye, and the kids should know better than to get involved with these types of activities. It shows extremely poor judgment for them to do so. This also includes the Facebook rant.

    When Willow and 5 friends broke into the Morlock house to party and caused over $30K worth of damage, Sarah apparently "got the girls off" but the boys will face charges.

    This is what passes for parenting in the Palin household.

    Palin is a neglectful mother. Her children needed her but evidently she is no where to be found. She threw her kids to the wolves and continues to do so. She constantly drags them out in public and when they act us, she covers for them.

    When the initial story about Willow's partying and her love affair with the vodka was broken by the Nat'l Enquirer (with photos), no one said a word. There was NO lawsuit, not letter from Van Flein, zip nada.

    But apparently there was also nothing done to help Willow. So like Bristol (and Track who vandalized all those school buses), Willow doesn't need to behave or learn that breaking and entering, vandalism and underage drinking are "not good".

    The way Palin shoves these kids into the media, they don't have a chance. This is not a normal life...and the mouths on Bristol and Willow on the FB rant show that they really have no class and no boundaries.

    Like all the Palins, they are products of their lack of upbringing. Like mother, obviously like daughters.

    Willow's friends voiced disdain for the boys' actions and people seemed to agree the boys only wanted money and publicity. I don't think it's a cry for help with Willow. She has recently posted on other's accounts "you dont know politics" and other such things in support of her mother and the tea party. I think the negative media attention is what's driving the Palins kids to get the truth out about their family and end the outrageous claims. They do indeed engage in family activities. Last night Lauden, WIllow, Payton, Piper, a foreign exchange student staying with (I think) Molly were at a sporting event.

    Willow is a daddy's girl and she was the closest one to Sarah (not counting Piper who was essentially Sarah's third leg). When you constantly hear and read about insanely critical attacks on your family, of course it's going to wear on you. I know Willow was filmed taking a swig of vodka last August but she looked uncomfortable and unnatural at it. She joined the family several times leading up to the book tour.

Because THAT is what she has read through the years, any of 'em, all of 'em that have been before her at the beauty parlor when she waits to have her hair and nails done. She knows that's what "her kind" read. I suspect she doesn't even know what The Economist is.

    As for Willow, she's a nasty piece of work. I think you're being blinded by the fact that she's so pretty. By far the best looker in the family. And she knows it.

  28. Sounds like you're making the assumption that the Palin's are relatively 'normal' parents who care about their children AND that these issues cropped up after Sarah began exposing her children to media scrutiny. I don't think that tells the whole story. There seems to me to be something inherently wrong with that family, going back many years, perhaps even generations. Sure, Sarah has exacerbated those problems with her antics, but I believe they began long ago.
    Expecting Sarah and Todd to take on the responsibility of Willow's problems is like expecting them to take responsibility for their ethics violations. They will adopt the same tactics they used with the Branchflower report, repeat the same mantra as they did then, as though saying it enough times will make it so.
    Willow's only hope for help is the intervention of a non-related 3rd party, perhaps a school counselor or medical professional. (I fear that the same is true for baby Trig.) Left to their own devices, the Palins will just deny, deny, deny. If their downfall is an exposé from the very tabloids that helped them to exploit their children, then so be it. They brought it on themselves and it may be the only hope our country has to ensure that Sarah & Todd will never set foot in the White House.

    You know any parent who didn't care about their child's education would be facing the courts and loss of their kid. Yet again Sarah gets by with never sending her kids to school. Leaving piper home to watch Trig the day she went to campaign at the primaries. Piper is too young to be hone alone much less babysitting a special needs child all alone.

    To Elizabeth, please review clips of Palin during the 2008 campaign and think about Sarah's speech and book tours since.

    To say, "Sarah does not use her kids" is foolish because it does not reflect the visual, verbal and written record.

    I do not think most people would agree with your opinion because the facts do not support it.

    Sarah uses her kids all the time - that is part and parcel of her appeal (that and her looks). and she manipulates public opinion through the use of her family.

    Good grief, "hockey mom," "mother of DS baby," "DWTS star mother, a mother of a "troop" serving our country. Give it a rest. Sarah wouldn't be where she is if she didn't knowingly and aggressively market herself and her kids.

    I'm afraid Sarah isn't emotionally equipped to be a loving parent. Sadly, I doubt that even a real tragedy would wake up Sarah.

    She'll focus on the embarrassment angle. She'll focus on Willow making 'bad decisions' rather than trying to discover 'why' she's acting out. The Palins pulled Willow out of school so now she'll been around her dysfunctional family even more and have less opportunity for outside intervention and help.

    There are troubled teens and dysfunctional families all around the globe, but the majority of them don't constantly thrust themselves into the limelight. The Palin kids are definitely acting out, like many teens, but Sarah has made sure that people notice, because she has decided that the Palins ARE the First Family. Bristol could have chosen numerous ways to be productive (like maybe college?), given that she has money, and nanny, and the opportunity to live in Alaska, Arizona, or LA. She has chosen the high visibility route that doesn't actually contribute much to the world or her son's life. Pro-abstinence speechifying isn't exactly a world-shaking positive thing. Dragging her kid all over LA and the country to keep him away from his dad is selfish and immature. A little education, some thought and seeking advice (not from sarah)about what to do with her life would do Bristol a world of good. Maybe she could use those new dancing muscles to help out Habitat for Humanity.

    This kid is seething with rage. As she sees it she was abandoned at 14 (when mom left her to run for VP) and has had to endure the steady stream of attention and adulation heaped upon her sisters and younger brother, while not getting much herself. She could give a rat’s ass about her mom wanting to run for President. She just wants the attention that she feels deprived of. A kid in her state could be out tonight trying to score some pot even with this story plastered over the tabloids. She just doesn’t care.

    To 1:53, what do you mean? What I wrote about WIllow's activities I witnessed through facebook. walls willow writes on, pics family members and friends people post. I also know up until the RNC, WIllow was the one who never failed to fish with Todd in Dillingham (emails prove that). Before WIllow deleted her account, there was a nice dialogue on FB between chancie, her, his mom, and several students. Chancies a toublemaker. His prof pic used to be a pic of him wearing a shirt with Sarah's pic that said "shut the hell up" his subsequent status was "its my shirt so shut the fuck up" willow response was "its my mom so shut the f up" I think I emailed the screenshot to Gryphen.

    Then another convo between her and chancie occurred where she fought with a couple guys over the tea party.

    As i did not watch, but reading about the Scam Reality Show on last evening, it's disturbing to read that at 16 Willow is still acting out by kicking her 7 year younger sister. Even more disturbing was that it was in the bus with Sarah on her CrackBerry & Tawd driving -- did nothing about it.

    Yes - I know - siblings will be siblings - but by 16 you don't act out physically. For all to see on camera, it tells you there is much more not seen and the information provided by the young men confirms it.

    First of all, how awesome is it that I have copycat facebook lurkers? Although I am flattered that you want to be me, you need to go out and make up your own fake identity, damnit.

    There is no better Facebook Lurker. I am the one who leaked that Bristol broke up with Levi after the re-engagement this summer, that she moved back to Wasilla, who said she would be taking off from work to "travel", and I even gave a heads up on the Facebook war, when no one else did. I told you Willow would be dropping out of school, the Palins bought a house in Arizona, the list goes on. I have not been wrong yet, have I?

    I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but y'all are nothing but copycats. No one else has provided you guys with as much free inside information.

    And to Willow's friends, cousins, or whoever jump on here to defend the Palin honor, give it up. It is a hopeless cause on this blog, we are all way too smart to be taken in by the Palin mythology. Spread it over on the gossip web sites, you've got a better chance. The Palins have made millions whoring themselves to the media, and now we are supposed to lay off? That's the price of fame, baby.

    BTW, the new meme pushed by the Plain spin machine is that Bristol is getting death threats, yeah...right. Nice try. Tonight I'm gonna vote like a Tea Partier for Jennifer and Kyle, bitchez!

    I have to disagree with the comment that Bristol is deliberately keeping Tripp from Levi. I don't think she even thinks about him. Shes a family oriented person who talks about her son marrying a friends daughter (slightly younger). the friend is the girl Bristol asked to move to Arizona with her. Bristol moved on a long time ago. The July enagement was a ruse, a money scheme for the two of them. The one thing I believe Gryphen on is that Tank is a scoundrel and a money laundering whore.

    People say they're disgusted at what MUST OCCUR in the shadows of the Palin home. After seeing the first 2 episodes and seeing personal family pictures from the last 2 years, I feel comfortable concluding THAT is how they act when around each other. Bristol, Willow, and Lauden have all said their family is crazy and fun. The lower-48 visits who visited Alaska over the summer and hung out with the family loved every minute. They commented the whole family was real, fun and tight. This was the end of May, beginning of June. The cousins are tight, the sisters are each other's helper's, Chuck and Sally are amazing and loved throughout. This is the impression one gets from direct facebook quotes and pictures. To make a cliche that will make you vomit, "life is one big joyous celebration" could be this family's motto

    and please read this...My goodness..

    "In recent months, Sarah Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, has paid thousands of dollars to a mysterious company that's gone to significant lengths to mask its ownership. Addresses linked to the firm lead to mail drops. It has no website. No phone number. Not even the California lawyer who incorporated the company knew who was behind it. But a Mother Jones investigation has found that this firm is run by an unlikely foreign political operative.

    Federal Election Commission filings show that SarahPAC has paid the company, Paideia Research LLC, at least $16,000 for its services. The payments to Paideia—which takes its name from the ancient Greek word meaning "education" or "instruction"—are the only research-related expenditures listed on the PAC's latest disclosures."

    Reading the comment that Palin is finished with Katie Couric - I'm splitting my sides in laughter.

    It shows how vindictive she is against someone who exposed her stupidity!! You can see her mouth clench and I'm sure her hands too when she thinks of Katie!! Award Winning Katie!!

    It also is the fact that Katie just did the interview with Murkowski wherein Lisa said Palin is rarely or never in Alaska and she will not support her if she ran for Pres as she just don't got it!!

    Oh I'm sure Katie is sobbing! Her feelings are hurt! NOT!!!

    It just reconfirms how vindictive Palin is. How she holds a grudge forever -- which is not a characteristic becoming of a President in that if someone didn't agree with you, you shut them out. Well, government doesn't work that way. Think of all the foreign issues. Hell, get sworn it at 12 noon and by 12:03 she would then bomb Iran as 'Amadinnerjacket' would have looked at her sideways and she didn't like it!!

    Re-confirms how thin skinned she is. Re-confirms how she fights "down".

    In the past, many of these kinds of comments would have been released through Stapletongue. She can't use RAM for it as RAM is like a clone of Palin and is more vulgar than anyone.

    These people are uneducated and have no common decency, but try to portray themselves as principled and respectable. We don't buy it. You may buy into their bullshit, but we don't.

    There will probably never be any article here that you will like and/or agree with. You will not change our minds. You can't even come up with any intelligent responses as to why the Palin's are worthy of your constant defense of their behaviour.

    In a pre-taped interview set to air on Monday night on Fox News, Sarah Palin tells network host Sean Hannity that she has no intention of sitting down for a one-on-one again with CBS anchor Katie Couric after the now-infamous exchange the pair shared during the 2008 presidential campaign.

    When asked about the matter during the prime time appearance -- which comes on the eve of the release of her new book, America By Heart -- Palin responds, "Why waste my time? No."

    The former Alaska governor and rumored 2012 White House hopeful suggested there's no incentive for her to do an interview "with a reporter who already has such a bias against whatever it is that [she] would come out and say."

    Palin went on to take aim at the news coverage disseminated by the larger media industry. She cited her own credentials as grounds for assuming the role of critic in the world of journalism.

    "I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism," explains the conservative favorite. "And I have a communications degree. I studied journalism -- who, what, where, when, and why -- of reporting. I will speak to reporters who still understand that cornerstone of our democracy, that expectation that the public has for truth to be reported. And then we get to decide our own opinion based on the facts reported to us."

    She adds, "So a journalist, a reporter who is so biased and will, no doubt, spin and gin up whatever it is that I have to say to create controversy, I swear to you, I will not my waste my time with her. Or him."

I partied very heavily when I was their age. but my family wasn't running around trying to convince people that we were good, caring god-fearing christians who know better than anyone else how to raise kids and be responsible productive citizens. the palins act like they've cornered the market on that meme.

    it's not the partying that's an issue, it's a family that works to create a myth that they're some perfect christian family who cannot do wrong, and when they end up being exposed for doing wrong, they blame it on others - it's always someone else's fault!

    The Palin's have what was the Alaska Fund Trust and SarahPAC and untold private donations in the form of goods and services from all around the world.

    My memory of some of the events you mention: Todd was fixing the roof and didn't attend the 'huge family gathering in Washington (state)' last Thanksgiving.

    I don't remember that Willow was photographed in Hawaii. I remember that because I was thinking what teenager wouldn't want to go to Hawaii at Christmastime and why would the parents leave a 15 year old at home? If I remember correctly, Sarah, Todd, Piper & Trig had to cut that vacation short because that was when Willow & her friends trashed the Morlock house. I haven't seen much of Willow since her infamous house party. Gryphen, correct me if I'm wrong about the above.

    In response to other comments: Chugging a bottle of vodka not looking natural? LOL Hilarious.

    About the boys being intimidated about speaking out: If the adults in Wasilla permit that to happen, there will be a huge backlash in the country. The behavior of the Palin kids isn't the kids' fault. Granted, they are old enough to know not to go on FB & act as they did but that's not the first time Bristol has used bad language & bad attitudes on FB. She did it to Mercede, using same attitude "you're a nobody, you're nothing, we're rich, powerful, beautiful, blah, blah".

    Sarah & Todd are the worst excuses for parents I've seen. They've been on a non-stop "look at me" tour for 2 years. WTF do they expect their kids to do? Who's watching the kids? Nobody that I can see. Sarah herself says in her new book "that while Bristol CHOSE to go live with Sarah's sister, that Sarah wasn't watching Bristol and Bristol did things with Levi" (that's paraphrased). Sarah appears to blame herself but in fact blames her sister for Bristol's behavior and for her getting pregnant. That's not how it goes though is it? Bristol was banished from the Palin's house when she got pregnant the first time...right?

    Does anybody think those kids are so stupid that they don't all suffer from the treatment that Sarah dishes out? Does any parent actually think that there's one of those kids who wouldn't rather spend their days in school and with friends their age rather than hang with a bunch of stupid adults on a book tour or campaign trail?The kids all take up for mama but they're crying out for attention and help.

    Palin kids are doing what thousands / millions of kids around the country are doing: booze, drugs & sex. The problem is that mama runs around saying we're so religious and perfect. Problem with the kids is that they have to pretend to be so goody-2-shoes and then throw their weight around like on FB. It's only natural to expect other kids to speak up when that happens.

Amid the millions of other "at risk" teens in this country, Willow Palin isn't even a blip on the radar.

    If Willow's rage does lead her to explode her mother's faked pregnancy, then the country will benefit. But I think Willow will just shift to full time grifting. She is the least stupid of the Palins.

    Maybe it's the spray tan exposure? Apparently from the Fairbanks Inauguration Picnic July 2009. More photos here if you can stand the pro-palin diarrhea explosion http://www.findingmyselfinalaska.com/2009/09/and-for-love-of-child.html

    So if these boys get a threatening letter from Van Flea, I sure hope they will hold their ground and perhaps even involve law enforcement. They have leveled a charge against her and the police need to investigate. They can start by confiscating surveillance tapes from parking lot cameras and do a little research. If Willow bought once, she's likely bought more often. Bust the kid, toss her ass in jail and THEN she might get some help. Kids usually have to run against the hard end of the law or (God forbid) a terrible accident before absent parents take notice. Lets hope she gets some help. Like sister in law like daughter perhaps.

    OK looking at other photos it appears the real trig has a crossed right eye just like sarah! I think he looks like track in these photos. I think he is in the family, not just a random adoption. Can eyes go crossed as you get older or are they always there? I don't think rnc trig had crossed eyes, or some of the other ones. So did Bristol birth Trig and pass on Sarah's cross eyes and Track's looks, or is he Track's baby? Does Track look like Sarah at all or is he just Menard? If Track didn't get Sarah's looks Trig must be his (assuming Track and bristol have different fathers)!

    "The Willow basketball camp in Italy was public knowledge. Off the top of my head, she was there when Palin made her Quitter Speech by the lake. "

    Who keeps track of this kind of stuff "off the top of my head"? Would Sarah Palin be happy that strangers are this invested in keeping track of her young daughter?

    Here's an interesting gossip bit speculating if Christina Aguilera is pregnant again.
    http://bossip.com/311016/is-christina-aguilera-pregnant-again30346/
    I recall photos of her from her movie premier and I actually wondered the same thing. Notice the similar costuming to Bristol with the belt/sash high on the waste and the black outfit camouflaging the belly unless of course they are photographed from the side.

    Man, these concern trolls are getting annoying. They are trying so hard to sound like they aren't for Granny Palin then proceed to tell us how great her family is and how they are so close or that democrat kids do drugs too.

    I find it funny that they think we can't smell them out after the first sentence. Stating some BS and prefacing it with "I don't like Palin at all but..." The formula is old palinbots and we're not falling for it. Go troll some other blog with your nonsense.

  106. The way to save Willow is for the media to stop paying attention to her -- and by "her," I mean Sarah. Maybe four or five years ago she was approximately normal, but she has become addicted to media attention and like the stereotypical addict, her entire life has become focused upon obtaining it. It's not even political ambition, it's a desperate need to be recognized, adulated and loved, a need that only grows stronger because she knows she is loved only for her persona, a persona that threatens to collapse at any moment, leaving her like Cinderella watching the clock inch toward midnight.

    "Locking yourself in a bathroom and saying 'I just want to drink' should chill the blood of any loving parent." Addicts are notoriously terrible parents. If caring for a child means not scoring the drug, the child loses. Depriving Sarah of attention would cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, but it's the only way. And it won't happen if Sarah can help it.

    Chugging straight hard liquor takes some practice.
    You start with the bourbon and coke or the beer and work your way up.

    For Petes' sake Willow show some class at least chug some good sippin' whiskey or scotch. It's not like you can't afford it.

    Of course your also can start with pot and work your way up.

    You are correct. Todd and Track did not attend thankgiving. Todd only attended the book signing after. Willow did not go to hawaii with todd, sarah, piper and trig. she went with molly, piper, payton and basketball players for a game.

    There is no better Facebook Lurker. I am the one who leaked that Bristol broke up with Levi after the re-engagement this summer, that she moved back to Wasilla, who said she would be taking off from work to "travel", and I even gave a heads up on the Facebook war, when no one else did. I told you Willow would be dropping out of school, the Palins bought a house in Arizona, the list goes on. I have not been wrong yet, have I?

    --

    Not that hard when Bristol accepts everyone as her friend. I too reported this stuff. Bristol posting "SINGLE" on facebook in mid July, her asking her weight loss advice, her asking a friend to move to arizona with her, her reprimanding Andy when he mistreats Willow, he getting pissed that Lauden and WIllow deleted her from their friends lists, her posting pics of Tripp outside the compound signifying she moved home, her saying she bought a GPS and was going to "travel", willow making fun of her and ivy eating mickey ds, yet they only ate salads......

    What is this "Life & Style" publication anyway? Never heard of it. Must be a third cousin of US Weekly or something. While I abhor Palin and think she treats her kids like shit, this sounds like so much gossip and hear-say that it doesn't seem credible. And the fact that some of these guys are the ones Willow attacked in the Facebook rant, makes it seem like sour grapes. They may be dead right (I suspect they are), but the accusations come with so much baggage that their credibility is definitely questionable.

    Whatttt? Sarah what's wrong with basketball camps in America? Are you ashamed of America? When I see a soldier in their uniform it brings tears to my eyes that they fight for our freedom. You look at the soldiers and send American dollars overseas.

    And there are non-haters who just think Bristol shouldn't win because she isn't a good enough dancer.

    Anon @7:01: I completely agree that Palin has shoved her family into the spotlight and brought the scrutiny on herself. What I meant to point out was there are a handful of comments here from a person/people defending the Palins who rattle off information about her kids' whereabouts as if it's the most typical thing in the world to know what the Palin kids are doing at any given time. It seems odd and contradictory to defend the Palins and at the same time engage in the kind of voyeurism Palin accuses the "haters" of. Also, sorry can't help it, but I thought is was funny that one person just happened to have some opposition research-type info. on Jeb Bush's family that they casually interjected into the conversation.

    What's so funny about that? The remark was made that kids of a "lower social order" would naturally be jealous of people like the Palins and Bushs. Both holier than thou families have issues. Jebby was my governor. Another post reminded of his kid's problems. I posted the NYT article instead of blathering some crap like the Palinbots do with any facts to back it up. We don't all live in a vacuum.

    Shes a family oriented person who talks about her son marrying a friends daughter (slightly younger).

    2:28, you win 2nd place for the most absurd troll comment on this thread.

    Bristol may have "moved on" from Levi, but no doubt she is deliberately keeping Tripp from seeing his dad. One has nothing to do with the other. We've been watching this thing play out for nearly two years and all we've seen is Levi talking about missing his son because the Palins are stingy with visitation and Bristol bad-mouthing Levi in the rags.

    Unless she is moving mountains to make sure her child has the benefit of both parents, she's a sham of a mother.

    Re:12:43"It might be in Mark's best interest to pull up lame"-do you really think that after hauling Tons-O-Fun around the dance floor for the whole season that he has any choice but to pull up lame? His back will never be the same. However, he seemed to actually enjoy hanging out with the Wasillbillies during the phony trips back home to visit all the people she missed so much even tho they were all staying in L.A. just like she was. And he tried his best to get touchy feely with Bristle but she always made sure to grab his hand when it got too near the secret midsection. I totally agree-if she's not with child she IS with some medical malady that needs immediate attention, but attention is not something those kids get unless it benefits the MotherBeast. If they weren't such snotty little witches I'd feel sorry for them, but they are and I don't. When is Bristle going to realize that we saw more of the Beast on DWTS than we did of her? It was all part of her plan to take over the world, so she can govern from her cement slab. When when when will somebody spill the beans on this bunch? Time is a wastin. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Sorry, but your comment about Jeb Bush's family having it's own issues was funny to me in the context of people defending the Palin's by deflecting the attention to the Bushes. Again, looking at context (outside the vacuum!): Barbara Bush was just in the news for what she said about Sarah Palin and Jeb Bush has been mentioned as a possible Republican nominee. Just the way I saw it. I'm done!

    Willow is being home schooled now. Parents in Alaska need no qualifications to home school their children, and the children are not required to take any standardized tests. So yes that means she dropped out.
