From People Magazine:
A tabloid report that Sarah and Todd Palin were on the verge of a $20-million divorce settlement had her steaming – and him chuckling – the former vice-presidential candidate tells PEOPLE in its new issue.
"I call Todd on the cell phone [from the grocery checkout] and I say, 'Todd, you won't believe this cover!' And he says, 'Twenty million? Write me a check,' " Palin recounts. "He's good about laughing some of that stuff off."
You know it has been a year and almost four months since the day I first reported that the Palins were having marital trouble. From what I was hearing at the time if you would have told me that Sarah could have convinced Todd to stay in that frigid excuse for a marriage this long I would told you that you were crazy.
Just goes to show that money may not buy happiness, but it does buy obedience.
Even after all of these months Todd is still playing his part, still acting as her guard dog, and still toting her hideous purse.
And they say romance is dead.
toad doesnt look well....
ReplyDeleteTodd looks very unhappy! I almost feel sorry for the guy...almost.
ReplyDeleteWhere there's smoke, there's usually fire.
ReplyDelete$P turned him into FASHION MAN. FASHION MAN for $20 million.
ReplyDeleteThe People magazine interviewer was on The Today Show this morning and mentioned a few other items along with the divorce issue, which are to be included in the article.
ReplyDeleteOne I remember is that she reluctantly asked Sarah about the rumours that she had earned (I believe) $12 million last year. Sarah responded that she hasn't earned that even up til now. (We know that's an outright BS lie). When asked how much she has earned, Palin would not answer as she said she was a private citizen now and didn't have to answer it.
Please remember that the Palins have People on speed dial. Articles would appear on the People online site almost instantly after Levi had made an appearance or comment. I don't know if this is the same interviewer, but a previous one spoke out about how much she liked and respected Palin. She was putty in Palin's hands.
Hah! The comments over at People on this thread are hilarious! Also, there was this teaser from the magazine:
ReplyDelete"For much more from the Palins – including the first look inside Todd's role in Palin's political work and how they are spending their new earnings – pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday"
Bless her heart.

Here's my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Sarah and Todd have shared a "marital bed" for a number of years. There doesn't seem to be a connection between the two. They are business partners, with a mutual desire for power and money. LOVE does not motivate either of them to do what they do. It seems to be a marriage of convenience, and has been since their wedding day, which occurred when Sarah was already pregnant with Track by Curtis Menard, Jr.
The fact that I've given so much thought to this marriage of two people I particularly dislike, means there is something either wrong with them, or with me! Let's just say, neither one of them exudes love, kindness, or respect.
She saw the cover when she was in the supermarket?....puhleeze!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's carrying her purse because it's holding his balls.
ReplyDeleteThe people mag spread is endearing. I've heard that story about Trig and his hand before and its adorable.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Sarah pulls up a past grievance to air - to what purpose?
ReplyDeleteI guess she's trying to show how she can rise above things, but really, by bringing this up after all this time, it just proves the opposite.
Perhaps in a few years, such an anecdote would make sense to discuss, but now? Not so much.
I do not for one minute believe she was standing in a grocery store check out line. So I don't believe anything she says after she said that (or almost anything she says, ever.)
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time believing that sister Sarah does the grocery shopping...seems like something she'd pass off on willow or Bristol (or piper once she can drive)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, Sarah and Todd are just like Spngebob and Patrick---together forever in cartoonland. And of course they're also stupid.
ReplyDeleteAs $cary said on Today, Todd's her "everything!"
ReplyDeleteThat one made me crack up out loud!
Why does she always have to exaggerate everything? It doesn't make it any more true.
I don't think Sarah ever loved Todd. She married him because the real love of her life - Curtis Menard, Jr. - would not have her and she was pregnant with his child. And for some sad, pathetic reason, Todd chose to be with her. Now years later, instead of respecting him and loving him for who he is, she is more disgusted with him precisely because he will bend to her will. In her male dominates/female submits crazy ass world, how embarassing for her that her man is not really a man unless you consider him a WO-man. So what to do, dump him and find a real man? But what about her image of a hockey mom from a close loving family. Sh*t, now she is stuck with him. Too bad. So sad. Ha. Ha. I guess God closed that door for you.
ReplyDeleteListen, Todd, I know you are trying to be a loving husband and protect and care for Sarah. But the truth is she is just not really that into you. You have time. Leave her ass and find yourself someone who will treat you better than she ever has. Trust me, you will get spousal support and the kids will all definitely choose to live with you!
And if she ever dares to bad mouth you or harm you in any way, remind her that Harpers Collins is waiting.
The 20 mil deal is a tad bit of a stretch considering she's made nowhere near that as far as gross wages go.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell their duds are from expensive lines. Reminds me of when they went bananas with the Republican campaign funds to buy clothes for them. No matter how many millions the Palins have, to me they are still very poor. If they weren't hurting so many people, I would feel sorry for them.
ReplyDeleteWHat is the bitch trying to cover up this time?
ReplyDeleteYep, yep, yep ... we've seen Toad's humor in action, Sarah darling. He was such a riot regarding the WGE sign. Never meet a stranger he didn't like to belly bump. Oh, his slap stick routine at the Airport, dancing around the citizen filming in a public place. Har-har-har. His true sense of humor came thru in the TLC 'Mama Grizzly' clip. Just cracks me up with his rill-dill Alaskan whine. Sooooo neighborly. And of course his infamous fence takes the cake ..keeps us all in stitches for a lifetime to come. Love how Toad uses humor to deal with life's little surprises! BWAhahahahaha...
ReplyDeletePoor Toad. He really needs to man up and stop acting like every enemy she perceives out there. You know, the limp and impotent ones who don't have more cojones (sp?) than Arizona's manly woman Gov?
ReplyDeleteGryph,
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic but I just heard a guy on the Ed Show saying that Sarah's cookie speech in PA should not be the story but how the Palin protesters were dispersed. Any info on that?
If this People magazine is due to be released FRIDAY (two days from now), how did she see it in the supermarket today?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. Wait, maybe I'm not.
I agree: that purse is fucking hideous.
ReplyDeleteAnon 3:43
ReplyDelete:)
Nice!
For imnofred from ks sunflower: here's an article about the protesters in PA. I love that she was speaking at a restaurant called The Cock 'n Bull!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the length of the url, but I Binged the following to find this: protesters against Palin in PA.
http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/local/the_intelligencer/the_intelligencer_news_details/article/27/2010/november/10/palin-protesters-told-to-move-at-restaurant.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IntelligencerNews+%28Intelligencer+News%29
Whoa Sarah!!!
ReplyDeleteYou were in the checkout line at the grocery store, the grocery store in Pennsylvania? or enroute to Texas? reading a magazine cover that is not on the stands until Friday????
This whopper parallels the RV trip from Anchorage to Los Angeles.
The lies and outrageous behavior continue to escalate.
Except of course the things people are right on the money about so she doesn't want anyone talking about them......you know like her son and daughter the vandals, her affair with BH, the real reason she fired her security detail....etc etc ad nauseum

Anon. 4:12 said "No matter how many millions the Palins have, to me they are still very poor."
ReplyDeleteGuess it was about 10 years ago now, I got divorced and went through some very tough times. Even though I lived in a tiny place and downsized nearly everything (rabbit ears for me, no cable -which I still do! By choice!), I barely had money to pay bills, and was sometimes even late with rent.
Even then, I had to admit, I was not 'poor'. So I resisted the urge to feel sorry for myself by thinking about all the things I had that couldn't be taken away from me. My training, my education, my curiosity, the memories of the years I spent abroad and the wonderful experiences I had, the fascinating people I met and interacted with, throughout all my life. My families' steadfastness through goofy things I did. And more recently, the wonderful person I married about five years ago.
I laugh when people write on the blog replies that we're all just jealous. I can without reservation say that if someone actually offered me twelve million dollars to swap my life with Sarah Palin's, I would laugh and say "no way".
My important words for a good marriage (besides love, of course), are respect, humor, adoration, and partnership.
S and T have the partnership thing down (probably in writing signed by Van Flein) but as for the others? Sarah demonstrates little respect for anyone (a trait I find disgusting). Her humor is always at the expense of someone else, not truly funny. She can't adore anyone (including Todd) because, in her mind, to adore someone else means she is not the 'top anointed' and she must be the only adored. She sees adoring as a position of weakness, and she will not be the weak one.
So, yeah, no way am I jealous of that.
MarvinM
Oh yah and don't forget her connection to the Menards, the Morlocks and the money losing Dairy.
ReplyDeleteRick
Were her bodyguards with her at the checkout?
ReplyDeleteImma thinking that purse is way too big for Todd's "stuff"
ReplyDelete4:11, that figure could be a long-term estimate of half her potential earnings resulting from a Palin brand that Todd can claim to have co-created.
ReplyDeleteI bet what really irritates both of them is having to stay together to prove the rumors wrong. It's pretty easy to do a Jedi mind fuck on Sarah to get her to do something she doesn't want to do. There are some people she just wants to prove wrong and nothing will stop her.
ReplyDeleteheh heh, Thanks Gryphen!
Rick
Go here, vote if as to whether you agree with the thrust of Palin's speech in PA, and have a look at eight photos of Sarah -- there are some doozies.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.philly.com/dailynews/local20101110_Palin_hails_role_of_faith_in_speech_at_Bucks_school.html
Why is she still wearing the mini's on stage? Guess that is how she gets the old geezers to donate, huh?
Looking at Sarah in this street photo - seriously, she looks like an aging plastic barbie doll.
ReplyDeleteIf you pull the string on her back, it would say, "Math is hard."
These people don't seem to spend any time at home together. With her long stays away from home, their house must feel like a building they check into every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why Sarah Palin chooses this way of life. Her family and marriage obviously are not her priority. Not too many women out there who can fly day after day, stay put for 2-3 days, then fly for weeks all over again, living in suitcases? Most women at 40 want to put down roots and stay home with their family.
Her disconnect with real americans is that she doesn't relate with most american women who would love to retire at 46 and stay home in place of working another day/another dollar kind of pay til 62 years of age.
People Magazine is the Palins go to rag of choice....which is why I cancelled it over a year ago after all that Levi bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAgain, this is nothing but a staged story planted to drum up interest in their faux Alaskana reality show. They did the photo shoot over two weeks ago...saw on Facebook that the Beehive salon owner did their hair for it. It's all so phony I could vomit. I'm sure there was another big payday involved
OOH, forgot to post this. This has got to be the most unflattering picture of Bristol (and her friend, April Morlock) to date.
ReplyDeleteFitCeleb.com asks why is Bristol gaining so much weight?
http://fitceleb.com/node/8655
You can see the spanx underneath her leggings
Much of the Palin Publicity Machine is out there creating publicity for the coming TV program (and that ghost written book). From what we've seen of the coming attractions of the TV show, it is based on the happy family out on holiday in beautiful Alaska. Todd has to be part of the happy family scene, at least for the next few weeks. Todd is the fisherman (Can't have a fish picker born in Texas). When we saw that cold staged family promotion photo where the Palins were defined by their things, Todd was holding the fishing pole (even though he catches fish in nets).
ReplyDeleteSo, we have a couple of possibilities here. People created the story so Sarah could answer with her staged reply, saying she saw the magazine in a supermarket while she was shopping. We know that Sarah doesn't shop for groceries in the supermarket, and the magazine isn't due out until Friday. So, People created a straw dog to produce a reply from Sarah.
Or, there is really some there there. What is interesting is that until now, People Magazine was in Sarah's hip pocket, so I have to wonder why they would write something unflattering about her. But, the Wall Street Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch called out Sarah for her misstatements. Maybe the worm is starting to turn?
Poor Todd. He looks so sad. If he's not getting paid, what is he getting out of staying?
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note, my mother and Sarah Palin are both about the same age. And my mother looks 10 years younger than Sarah--without all the plastic surgery and expensive clothes.
Looks like SP has her death panels. Now will she complain about the cat food commission? People will surely die if Pelosi and Reed don't fight for the poor and middle class. Fuck the Republicans and their war on the middle class.
ReplyDeletehmmmm, my security said that is a vicious attack site facebook blogger.
ReplyDeleteRick
Todd doesn't look like he has any better hygiene than Sarah does. The word SHAMPOO must not translate into Palin-speak.
ReplyDeleteToad looks angry. It appears he doesn't like being photographed carrying The Queen's purse. But that's what happens when you're Sarah's "kept" man.
Anon 5:49 - agree she is WAY too old for the mini-skirt. It just looks desperate/trashy. Also, don't get the "Todd is so HOT" meme. Todd looks like an aging 70's porn star - certainly not the look I'd want my husband to embrace.
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher in PA and completely support the effort to make school lunches/snacks more nutritious and less sugary/fatty. Most public schools in the state have already been working on this. (The PRIVATE CHRISTIAN school that Sarah visited, of course, is EXCEPTIONAL- ie. doesn't have do what public schools do, and doesn't have to follow these rules anyway...so what was she flapping her gums about?)
Re: Grocery spotting of People article...since the magazine is not in grocery stores until Friday, and since Sarah was busy baking cookies to bulk up the Christian students who - fortunately - didn't have to be healthy...I'm thinking she is fibbing again.
If you want to see Todd Palin's "cajones", just shave Joe Miller's chin!!...........lol
ReplyDeletePalin spoke tonight in Dallas at the Majestic theatre. She only drew about 800 people. Seating capacity for the theatre is approx 1700. So she couldn't even fill 1/2. Also, the population of the Dallas-Ft Worth area is 4.8+ mil. If people wanted to see her, they would go. 800 isn't really good. Besides, Dallas County is blue/Dem. Bet she thought she'd have a big crowd.
ReplyDeleteFrom the 11/09/10 speech at the Buck school in @Philly:
ReplyDeleteAt one point, the 2008 vice-presidential candidate and icon of conservative feminism said of bedrock beliefs in the Constitution and in the values of freedom that "something
seems to be missing, and especially in the last year or two." or two."
It is this sort of ugly, slanderous hate speech that makes people dislike Palin. This is exactly what has been wrong with her from the beginning. Who the hell does she think she is? What makes her think she is the "better" patriot or understands freedom better than people who disagree with her? Everything Palin accuses others of doing is exactly what she herself does. She is a cancer on America.
5:22, I think I remember reading that she spoke at a place called Peddlers Village.... (lol) maybe that's where the Cock'n Bull is located!
ReplyDeleteThose pics from the Daily News are already gone; she must have a flock of bots getting that stuff yanked for her. Sweetie, she is.
ReplyDeleteFrom Google:
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Peddler's Village event on November 9 with featured speaker Sarah Palin. … of the Cock 'n Bull Restaurant in Peddler's Village … www.peddlersvillage.com
Palin in Bucks County today... Nov 9, 2010 … … at the Cock'n'Bull restaurant at Peddler's Village...
How appropriate!

ReplyDeleteTahhhd looks kinda sweet there walking with his diva glasses and purse. Maybe Sarah is lookin for a real Alaskan man?
ReplyDeleteWith all that money that he earns why did he stop going to the tanning salon?
ReplyDeleteHe isn't looking well and he is aging fast.
Brad Hanson is the man who could replace Menard in her heart. He knows how to dominate.
ReplyDeleteLet's see. 4,000 showed up for Bush's book signing but only 800 showed up for a combination of Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, and Tom Leppart? True Dallas Co. is blue, but it's an island surrounded by red. Guess all the red dudes were in Plano for Bush so couldn't make Dallas for Palin.

ReplyDelete--
I'm a little shocked you call yourself a democrat, considering democrats are stereotypically the ones who accept everybody and look past the surface. hmm judgmental?
Just read People mag. The article is actually quite nice. Remember, if you chose to believe (cough) Mr Gross' Vanity Fair article, you'd know Sarah goes to target just before closing. Just because she's "a star" doesn't mean she's not down to earth.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 8:39: That poster never said they're a democrat. Where did you get that from?
ReplyDelete"I'm a little shocked you call yourself a democrat, considering democrats are stereotypically the ones who accept everybody and look past the surface. hmm judgmental?"
Anon at 8:41 must be the same person as Anon at 8:39. Both seem to have reading comprehension problems.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting People magazine article showing as dated Nov 9th -- Palin paying for all the friends to fly to DWTS to support Bristle.
ReplyDeleteThe article mentions:
"....she did say she has been able to splurge on a few items for her family. Those include an airport hangar and workshop for Todd, apartments for Bristol and her older brother Track, a home studio for Palin's FOX News appearances – and those plane tickets to Los Angeles."
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20440613,00.html
So it says she bought the Condo for Bristle and one for Track too.
Not trying to defend her, but I saw a headline on one of those paper tabloids a while back that said something about a 20 million dollar deal between she and Todd. That's probably what she is referencing.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, Sarah and Todd are just like Spngebob and Patrick---together forever in cartoonland. And of course they're also stupid.
ReplyDelete***********
Yeah but SpongeBob & Patrick are good natured and not hate filled and spiteful.
What I don't understand is this.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people admire Sarah Palin for having a DS child(remember, us liberals would just abort if we knew we were having a DS child)?
All she did is birth that baby, and even that is debatable.
She is never home to raise Trig, and not near him on a day to day basis.
So what is admirable?
They can't have it both ways. The hard part of having a DS child is raising a child, not birthing him.
Did she really say she saw this article at the newstand and that is how she knew about it? OR is this a past event?
ReplyDeleteIf she means the current People article, then she is lying. She is lying anyway, but we know she posed for this two weeks ago so she must be referring to a past article, which she still didn't see at the checkout.
She can't be talking about the new People magazine, because not onlh is it not out yet, but she's talking TO People about seeing a tabloid in a grocery store at some point last year about the divorce. Only, she couldn't have seen it in a tabloid because the first place it was broken was here, on IM, then wound its way through the blogisphere.
ReplyDeleteNo tabloid wrote about it. They just wrote about a past affair she had many moons ago, which she denies. (although I've read there is a tape out there...I hope that comes to light...)
Remember, Sarah brought it up again publicly when the story ended up in the NE, not too long ago. and yes people mag is out in NY and probably CALI
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what tabloid had this divorce rumor on a cover again after a year after the first rumors came out. If it wasn't recent that she saw the cover, then why would she bring it up again now? It's the main focus of the People article, right? She's trying to do smoke and mirrors. Something is coming out and she's trying to soften the blow.
ReplyDeleteFBL
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, is that camel toe under the leggings/spanx??? Ewwwww....she is just getting nasty looking.
I also notice that she was trying to sit rather close to Todd at the DWTS rehearsal with Bristol last week. Normally, they are never seen close. Maybe someone has news coming out about them.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the Sexy Sarah vibe that others
ReplyDeleteget. She is totally asexual to me. She has that
shrill, crazy way of talking, and she is very
rough in her actions. She wears clothes well,
sometimes, and can look pretty, if the sound
is off, but she doesn't seem like someone
who is passionate or sexy in the least.
I think she fancies herself as a Repube
Julia Sugarbaker----a ball-busting,
emasculating harpie who looks good in
tight skirts & heels. She is not a cozy
person, she is a mean, hard woman. I
guess some men like hard women--you
know, women who remind them of their
dad, Cotton Hill.
sjk - no he doesn't, he looks like a
ReplyDeletepasty pudding face.
OT- Todd & his racing partner split up. His partner will be teaming with his own son, & Todd has some other guy. It's kind of odd Todd never brought Track into that scene, in fact there's seems to be no connection between those 2 at all.
Most sons would love to be part of
something like that with their dad.
That 'family' is off kilter on many
levels.

Her comment about 'the past 2 years' is sick!
ReplyDeleteThe POTUS has not changed the consitition -has he? So, what's missing?whatever it is, it only appeared (4 her) 2B missing within past two yrs....
I'm glad she's missing from the WH, now if she would go totally missing
You know, a friend of ours was always telling us how gay guys were coming on to him constantly and his response always was to take a picture of his wife out and tell them how hot she was.
ReplyDeleteAfter almost 20 years of marriage, he finally came out of the closet.
Hmmmm... just saying.
Isn't it the People Magazine issue that comes out on Friday? That is, in an issue of People Magazine coming out Friday, there is a story about her reading a tabloid some time in the past. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it won't matter to her supporters whether the marriage is a sham or not. They will not care. Nothing will shake there support.
Scott Davis is running with his wife, Regina. Finally. It's about time. They're gonna rip. I smell a Pro Class win with a woman! Ha!
ReplyDeleteTodd's running with Eric Quam. Eric ran last year with Brad Helwig and won the year before with Marc McKenna.
Team 11 | Todd Palin and Eric Quam
Sarah is only trying to paint the picture of a perfect marriage and a great family life. No coincidence that this is coming out at the same time her stage reality show starts.
ReplyDeleteHer followers will buy into it hook, line, and sinker while those of us with at least some intelligence know that it is all total bullshit.
Anyone who looks at her travel itinerary can easily see that she is hardly ever home to care for her "special needs" child.
