As you can see there is no co-signer or money down, she just bought the whole thing lock, stock, and rotten barrel.
The deal went down on December 10, only about two weeks ago, but we heard rumors that she was looking for a place as long ago as a month.
Here is a link that shows pictures of the house and gives the very depressing layout of the surrounding area. If Bristol wanted to find a place to hide she could hardly have done much better.
There is a lot of information coming my way right now, but I am not sure how much of it is reliable.
I hear that Bristol is running away from her mother to start her own life.
I hear that the that the ENTIRE Palin family is heading to Arizona to start new lives.
I hear that this is nothing more than a sunny place for the family to purchase a home to get away from the harsh winter months, to become "snowbirds: if you will, and that they are simply putting it in Bristol's name for the sake of convenience.
I hear that Sarah is establishing an Arizona residence so that she can one day take McCain's Senate seat.
I hear that Bristol is establishing HER residence in Arizona to one day take McCain's Senate seat.
I have no idea if any, or some, or none of this is actually accurate.
All that I know for sure is that regardless of which one of these is in fact accurate, we can definitely assume that Arizona is going to be seeing a whole lot more of the Palins in the very near future. So they might as well get used to it.

| Come on kids! Let's see if we can do for Arizona what we did for Wasilla! |
Did you just love the part where Sister Sarah says that SHE is not one to point fingers or play "the blame game, " and that she won't participate in any of the negativity? The hypocrisy just drips off of her sometimes doesn't it?
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.
She wasn't going to get involved in the negativity and insider crap. Then operatives starting bullshitting things about her. Most was bullshit fyi. The africa question was a lie and a convo that never happened for one
ReplyDeleteSarah doesn't blame Bristol and would never blame her personally.
Yesterday the family held a pretty big holiday party at the house. facebook was aflutter with "we are so blessed to know the Palins" and "I am so happy I finally got to meet them all"
Early Nov was when I first saw that Bristol wanted to live in AZ (Scottsdale/Ph area she mentioned), she said she was gonna start looking for a house when she had time.
The only reason I think she moved for the climate is her comment when she arrived in AK this past week "I arrived last night. it's freezing" She chose to accept DWTS for the change of scenery and enjoyed herself and the weather obviously.
I wonder what the other house (in scottsdale) is listed under. Thats where they (Palin, and grandparents) had thanksgiving
When we start to hear more about the part the Paoletti's are playing in this deal we will be able to get a bigger picture. There is no way it is plausible that Bristol is independently initiating and handling this.
ReplyDeleteThe house looks like a Reality Show could use it to stage a show. The town is a perfect place to take over and do whatever you please.
The people saying she wants a baby and she is hot for her real estate broker don't jive with what the Facebook writers want you to believe. Why is a baby wanting unwed mother fixing a house to take the Wasilla gang to snowbird with her?
If you buy the story about Bristol starting her own life, that means the advocacy thing was all her idea since she has concrete plans to continue that work.
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't think this move is to shut anyone out, I do think she genuinely enjoys her teen advocacy stuff. She seems genuine and enjoys speaking with youth at town halls
Why would she not pay in full when she can? Who wouldn't do that? Nothing about that document is shocking, except maybe that she didn't make it more private as celebs do. But normal people don't snoop into other's business
ReplyDeleteLet's face it. We're losers in xmas eve
It is time to reveal the Paoletti family. John Paoletti is not in on any of this? Whether they are just the Tea Party finaglers in this business deal, whether boy Gino is an actual boy toy for Bristol. Any combination of it all. What do the Paoletti's have to say. If they are gagged like Levi already, what about others who know the situation with local realtors and close family ties to the Palins?
ReplyDeleteJust because you buy a house and there is a lot of moose-crap spewed about it, that doesn't mean Bristol will live there. John McCain has so many houses he doesn't know them all. He "lives" in Phoenix but was never home to raise his family. Cindy and her parents did that. He was in DC or elsewhere but can say he lives in Phoenix or any of the many houses he forgot.
ReplyDeleteIf you are from Wasilla, Arizona is the place to go. If you are from Phoenix, San Diego, Mission Bay, La Jolla are the places to go. Everybody has the migration gene when they live in places with awful weather or some kind of blight.
That house is nothing special, infact, she still may have overpaid considering the finishes, but who really cares. I am so glad you found that footage of scara lying about being one to point fingers. When I saw that originally aired I just about fell over having already seen her for what she really is, but most of the country was still blind. She sure has done a VERY good job making those statements false. Well, done sista sarah, you have proven to be exactly the opposite of what you claimed.
ReplyDeleteanyone who ever wished Palin would go to H-E- double hockey sticks can rest at ease. That is exactly what Maricopa feels and smells like in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI personally think this is Sarah establishing residency for a run at McCain's seat. I also think VanFleabag is laying the groundwork.
I assume the Wasillabillies will spend a few winter months there
-kellygrrrl
Ticky tacky boxes.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is split between:
A- Bristol fleeing from that screeching harpie/hiding from the press while her bun cooks
B- the screeching harpie herself test driving Arizona in hopes of one day taking McCain's seat
Any word on how she plans to spin the baby and insta-daddy?
She actually sounds like a rational person here. She wants to "come together, work together, for the betterment of the whole country" and put aside all those differences, yada yada. Boy is that strange to hear from her. Next day she was bashing everybody in sight, seems like. And there is that whole going back to work for Alaska thing. Whatever happened to her brain anyway? I know. This never was her take on things. But to hear her say all this?? If only.
ReplyDeleteIf Only Sarah Palin Paid More Attention to C.S. Lewis
ReplyDeletehttp://www.doublex.com/blog/xxfactor/if-only-sarah-palin-paid-more-attention-cs-lewis
Lewis said: "Theocracy is the worst of all governments. If we must have a tyrant, a robber baron is far better than an inquisitor." Palin believes the United States should base its law on the Bible; Lewis explicitly rejected the notion that Christianity is the basis of morality. "It is often asserted that the world must return to Christian ethics in order to preserve civilization," he said, in a pitch-perfect prediction of what current discourse would sound like on the Christian right. "Though I am myself a Christian, and even a dogmatic Christian untinged with Modernist reservations and committed to supernaturalism in its full rigour, I find myself quite unable to take my place beside the upholders of this view."
Palin's supposed favorite author disdained the grasping attention-greediness of so many politicians, for which there could be no better exemplar than the Twittering, Facebooking, reality TV-starring, self-styled presidential candidate. Lewis certainly would have hated Palin's penchant for taking cheap shots at public figures with no regard for the facts (as with her latest swipe at Michelle Obama, which was a deliberate distortion of what Obama actually said). Lewis believed in thinking seriously about issues of justice and morality, not political point-tallying.
Goodness, I didn't know you could pack so many, many lies into less than five minutes. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteHow's that non-partisan, working-for-all-Americans, not-going-to-be-petty-or-negative working, huh, Sarah. Not very well, eh?
Why wait for McCain. Kyl's seat will be up for grabs in two. If Gino, advised her on that purchase, he's screwed her again. RE prices are still falling, with no turn-a-round, till 2015. Bristol, better get used to border patrol vehicles, in the neighborhood. Of all the beautiful places to live in Arizona, she picks Maricopa. Guess it reminds her of Wasilla. that house damn near sits on the Maricopa AkChin Indian Reservation. Well at least she's a stone throw away from Indian Medical Services. Can you say Yu'pic
ReplyDeleteNothing about that document is shocking, except maybe that she didn't make it more private as celebs do.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't make it private because this document tells you what they want you to believe. No one actually knows if the money was a front or if it was from Bristol's accounts. No one knows why she did this or if she was put up to do this by others. The fact it was not made private does tell us somethings.
"Beautifully landscaped backyard?" - really? Geez, if you are a salamander maybe.
ReplyDeleteCobblestone Farms?
ReplyDelete' I just did a tour of the house on zillow. The address can easily be found from the information in the ADN article. It's pretty ugly. Houses stacked right next to each other. The yard is very small and full of rocks (no grass). Ugly ugly ugly. I got thirsty just looking at it. '
What kind of investment property could this be? Is she planning on manufacturing Meth?
Wasillazona.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter where they go, there they are.
MicMac
That house is nothing special, infact, she still may have overpaid considering the finishes, but who really cares.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell does that mean? do you know the market in
Arizona. Hell do you even know the market in your own neighborhood. Tell me where you live and what you think your house is worth and I will bet you it is worth less than you think.
Reading some of the posts on other blogs, Maricopa doesn't sound like a very appealing place to live. It was incorporated as a city in 2003. There was a building boom, following by foreclosures. That's why the smart real estate agent/boy friend Gino could find such a bargain for Bristol.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there won't be that many neighbors with kids for Bristol's kids to play with. There are a few stores, and not much else. Maricopa is out in the desert, easily 45 minutes from Phoenix with no traffic. It gets over a hundred degrees during the summer. (And by the way, who announces that they want to have a baby in 2011? That makes it sound like Bristol is going to get her wish, very soon).
Why would Bristol pick such a place? I have a bunch of ideas. Based on the post by anon 4:34:
1. I smell reality show, with a home make over, two kids, a marriage, and more "made for TV fakery."
2. It's a decoy house, and they will live somewhere else.
3. Someone posted the information that Maricopa is a meth producing place (this is just unsubstantiated gossip), but it would remind Bristol of home.
4. People suggested that Bristol wants to run for public office. Well, she can be the mayor of a really small town, just like her mother, and when she is 25, she can run for Congress. Do you think that Bristol will stay in Maricopa for 5 years?
5. Sarah's lawyer, Van Flein, recently moved to Arizona. Coincidence? Maybe Sarah will be taking up residency?
6. Bristol just wants to get as far away from Sarah and Alaska as possible? Bristol is rich because of Sarah, or that's Sarah's way of paying Bristol off. Wonder why?
7. This is a great place to hide out from the media? They already have her address.
8. Seriously, that place is in the middle of nowhere, with Bristol's closest neighbors Native Americans and Mexican Americans. I don't think that these are Bristol's "people." From all those pictures of the DWTS Star out on the town in LA, a life in the sticks doesn't sound like Bristol at all.
In the documents Bristol Palin just declared that her residence is in Arizona, not Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI hope she realizes that by doing so she is no longer eligible for a Permanent Fund Dividend (although no doubt she will apply claiming she has some other residence address).
She is hiding out to gestate.
ReplyDeleteGive Bristol a break. Considering how bundled up she was in Haiti, she obviously needs to move to a hot climate. I'm just glad she and her psycho clan aren't invading my beautiful state of Colorado.
ReplyDeleteArizona is the best place to have a company or corporation:)
ReplyDeleteWith luck, there's going to be a lot of people in whatever state the Palins infest that will give the big middle finger right back at Bristol Palin and her relatives.
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin is a wealthy young woman that relishes the attention of the media. She's an advocate solely for herself. She doesn't have the looks, intelligence, talent, ambition, or soul to be anything other than one of the performing animals in the Palin 3 ring circus. Her place of residence isn't going to improve any of her glaring deficiencies.
Bristol Palin is and will remain a mere breeder.
This confirms what I've been thinking: McCain has Alzheimers or something worse and this deal was made for her to take his seat, to squash the nutball rightwinging, teabagger primarying him, and also why so many insiders, like people in the white house, saying that she won't run: They know about this deal?
ReplyDelete$ Palin is probably washed up in Alaska. She probably couldn't get elected to anything there. She is probably mad @ Alaskans for "betraying" her as well.She may as well move on. Bill & Hillary moved from Arkansas to NY. It's Alaska's gain. I only hope the citizens of AZ don't want her either. They have a lot of crazy there already though.
ReplyDeleteSince Lisa Murkowski is voting in a more centrist fashion, I was wondering if she isn't positioning herself to run for president? If she did, that would really be a(nother) knife in the heart of $.P. (DO IT, LISA, DO IT!). $.P doesn't really go for Lisa even when Lisa has clearly dissed her. Hmmm. Why is that?
The house is too small for the lot of them, but plenty large for a couple & their 2 kids. I hope the National Enquirer stalks her like bloodhound.
Wonder when Toad and his buddies will build a 14 foot fence for privacy?? LOL
ReplyDeleteJust a hop, skip & a jump from the highway for those 'Lamestream media' types to peek into windows!!
I think you can discount the rumors that Bristol is establishing AZ residency so she can run for Congress or the Senate. Threshold requirement per the Constitution is ages 25 and 30 respectively.
ReplyDeleteI hope for Bristol's sake she is trying to break free of the thin-skinned screecher. But I don't think that is the case.
ReplyDeleteI think SP is finding it harder and harder to use her old charms and sparkle in Alaska, and she is going to see if she can spin some webs and dazzle the folks of Arizona.
That clip of SP lying at every turn in the video had me chuckling under my breath.
She totally denies there was any tension in the McCain/Palin campaign. Wow, what a whopper.
After the "diva" and "whackjob" descriptions of her conduct were leaked, she had everybody's email account hacked in an effort to find the "traitor". Everyone was suspected; it was a nightmare of suspicion and distrust.
As for her comments about "helping" the new administration, I think she believed she could put on her nicest push-up bra, lick her lips, wink, and make Obama forget all those nasty insinuations she made about him during the campaign.
Somehow she would find a way to kick old man McCain to the curb, the way she had many times before (Wally Hickle, John Bitney) and sweet talk her way on board the new ship of state.
I think part of her anger and obsession with Obama is because "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" or in her case, just ignored.
Perhaps she is going down there to make a new life. New baby, new baby daddy. Levi will certainly be off the hook if this Gino guy adopts Tripp. Works out for both parties.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama doesn't acknowledge Sarah Palin and her ego is too big not to rage at that. I think her fantasy is that McCain can't or doesn't finish his six years and Sarah Palin comes to the rescue, finishing his term and being the Arizona savior. Does she run now or 2016? Time will tell but Sarah Palin won't go quietly. She will have to be soundly rebuked before she leaves the stage.
ReplyDeleteThe most amazing thing about that video is that Mrs. Palin sounds somewhat sane and normal! She doesn't sound like that anymore. What happened?
ReplyDelete-Pogo
That *is* funny. Nope, she's not lookin' backward AT ALL. She is not gonna get involved with any negative partisan bickering, and she is gonna just hunker down and get back to business, and her children are gonna get back to school and get back into their routines, and blah blah blah blah BLAH.
ReplyDeleteDanged funny!
A four thousand square foot home in Maricopa, on a 7,400 sq ft lot for $172k? For a home built in 2005? Is that really the going rate for real estate in that part of the country?
ReplyDeleteThat seems awfully cheap......

ReplyDelete"Why would she not pay in full when she can? Who wouldn't do that? "
You must not know anything about tax law or real estate. Anyone Ms. Bristol Palin's age, who pays cash for a house, that person should have their lawyer and real estate person put in jail for chronic idiocy.
Despite the piss poor low interest rate, the tax advantages of home mortgage interest are too large ignore--how else is Ms. Bristol Palin going to itemize her taxes, without a mortgage interest deduction?
All I can say is that for ONCE, my state, Florida was spared the freaks. Because everyone comes down here, OJ, the 911 hijackers, serial killers, reality stars, wanna-be stars, everyone. So we're spared the Palins, apparently. Arizona drew the short straw.
ReplyDeleteYou want a reality show? Cover the Palin family in Arizona from June through September. See how a grizzly does in a blast furnace.
ReplyDeletePrivate Citizen Palin couldn't POSSIBLY be thinking of running for McCain's senate seat....
ReplyDeleteWhen a politician holds a seat for a period of time, any number of congress people, state legislators, and misc. big city folks start to pile up, just waiting for the old incumbent bird to fly off.
Sarah Palin can't even do a sympathetic interview with a Time Magazine flack in real time, having to be "interviewed" via e-mail. Additionally, Sarah doesn't even know diddly squat about Alaska--how is she going to convince anyone she knows something about Arizona?
No, the only "office" Sarah Palin is gunning for is head of some bullshit religious organization, like Focus on the Family, so she can pretend to be a mover & shaker or a king maker like Pat Robertson..... Anything more than that would mean more work than Private Citizen Palin is willing to do.
I don't understand..according to the link provided here for pics of the house on 44254 W. Sedona Trail, it looks very nice! Looks like a nice neighborhood as well.
ReplyDeleteAm I missing something?
-Ardiva
Whatever's going on with the house purchase, the one theory that can safely be dismissed is that it was a shrewd investment. Did you notice the prices of the neighboring properties? The Wasilla hillbillies swooped in and "shrewdly" snapped up the most expensive house in a sea of foreclosures and depressed values. Genius!
ReplyDeleteOne can just picture the improvements, too: glitzy and cheap, just the ticket for white trash. The folks who snapped it up, did a little work, and flipped it for a quick $50K profit were the shrewd ones.
I feel strongly that this is at least a possibility:
ReplyDeleteI think the last time Levi saw Tripp, he either swabbed saliva or got a snip of hair or some other DNA sample. Tripp is not Levi's son and THAT is why Bristol has been yammering about "he hasn't even ASKED to see Tripp in five months!"
I also think this is why Sadie has been so quiet. She adored that baby in a way that was visible to us all...she dearly loved Tripp wholly and completely despite knowing what a three ring nightmare it would be to stay involved with any Palin for any reason.
I know several people including Gryph and Sadie have pointed out that Tripp looks like Levi did as a child. But let's be realistic, folks. When you WANT to see similarities, it's really easy to see them in photos of two toddlers side by side.
I'm not saying this "is" what happened...only that it's a possibility. Levi was already under threat from the Palins- already scared silent by his mother's farce of a "prosecution", etc...he wouldn't speak up if this was the case...I'm sure of it.
The video is an alter ego or the most adept lie she ever told.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on?
Explanation #1: Devious plans yet to be deciphered- due to their devious nature and the complexity of the schemes. Be worried- very worried.
Explanation #2: Clusterfu*kery and a failure to plan leads to wild and nonsensical goings on. Collect money and fame each time you are on the teevee or cause an internet and twitterstorm. Be annoyed, and ignore.
Explanation#3: Some of both- hard to tell which it is until after it is all over. Does this make one sleep any better at night?
I think this post at Wickersham's Conscience is interesting and informative.
Palin, Tea Baggers and the Dunning-Kruger Effect
I saw the link in his most recent post 2010 in Review: The Palin Traveling Circus.
"Her frenetic campaigning for her Tea Party favorites, her daughter’s embarrassing over-exposure on reality television, her incessant injection of her ill-informed opinions into national issues; it would gag a maggot.
WC believes he may have been the first to link Palin, Palinstas and the Dunning-Kruger Effect. It explains a lot about the Refudiator’s thrashing around, about how often and how badly she gets it wrong. And why, despite continually humiliating herself, he followers continue to support her. The Dunning-Kruger Effect, unfortunately, describes the problem but doesn’t offer a solution; indeed, it implies there isn’t a solution. Which means more of the Palin Horror Show in 2011. WC can hardly wait."
Both of the linked posts are worth a read. Gryphen has Wickersham's Conscience linked on the left.
Concerning all the tips and information that Gryphen is getting- there must be some reason
to divert attention to the new and shiny object.
Gulf Coast- expect the Palins soon.
ReplyDeleteThat pesky oil spill needs to be refudiated to prove that Drill Baby Drill is without possible harm.
They'll be shooting shrimp and frogs, and clubbing baby gators to make shoes.
And eating the bounty of the Gulf while visiting an oil refinery.
Hannah_Bell@ 8:38 et.al. -
ReplyDeleteSadie had Tripp yesterday (or day before) for Sadie's birthday - pics on her FB page. Mercede was so happy to be with little Tripp - glad she finally got to see him.
Levi is there too (Wasilla) - he has beautiful new girlfriend.
The world goes on.

ReplyDeleteI can't totally fault her for this unfortunate circumstance. $ & Toad let (are letting) the kids grow up
without any discernable skills (prostitution is only legal in NV)! These are some neglected kids. They do what neglected kids do (drugs, vandalism, sex).They allegedly played sports, yet not one of them looks or seems particularly athletic. They don't really even seem to know how to fish, though the parents claim to be fishermen. I haven't seen ant footage of a bookshlf full of books or any instruments suggesting music lessons. They barely speak english, let alone any foreign languages (not even Russian incase of invasion). Even if $ wasn't available, where were the grandparents? My grandparents took me to Vacation Bible school, taught me how to grow a garden, make pies, can various foods, quilting...You get the picture. I only saw them in the summers. I don't get the impression that those kids can do much of anything. If they drop the ball on Piper they don't deserve any leadership position. Would anyone be surprised if Piper could barely read? Bristle can still educate herself, but they don't value it. She has to want it, but why put in the work when the cash is flowing without it? Why learn how to write when all your stuff is ghost written? $ is probably so defensive because she and Tard really SUCK as parents and are petrified that someone will point it out.
Anon 4:26 just knows it all don't you??? Who are you because you post all the time as if you know the Palins personally , do you??
ReplyDeleteSecond, you are wrong about the "Africa is a country" comment. It was during debate prep. Were you there?
I didn't think so.
Enjoy your pretend relationship with them because it's obvious it's not a real one.
Kellygirll, that's just ridiculous. McCain just was re elected for six more years! Why would she even do that.
ReplyDeleteVan Fleasel is setting it up? What would he possibly do six years ahead of time.
The Palin supporters have taken over IMs comment section with their know all intimate comments. And the ones who don't like her resort to makin things up which is why there is no credibility for the Trig story out there.
Anon 5:53 - it's the desert yahoo of course there's no grass!!!!! Having grass in Arizona is considered very un-green because it isn't native and takes a load of water. Desert landscaping (some) has a beauty of it's own. And no not everyone likes it. But here only the very very rich have a lot of grass.
ReplyDeleteEver study geopgraphy? Geez youse libs sure are smart.
Anon 4:26-- ever hear of a " rental"
ReplyDeleteAnd oh no Sarah was just never ever going to get into the negativity. You are so right about that! Is she your bff?
The local residents are not too happy about Bristol´s purchase.
ReplyDeleteGila Monster: ¨Well, there goes the neighborhood.¨
Rattlesnake: ¨Yeppers.¨
Scorpion¨ ¨Yikes! Even her fingernails are plump.¨
Sarah Palin unexpectedly popped up at a teabaggers rally in Phoenix in late October and used as her excuse, "I was comin' through town".
ReplyDeletePrior to that, nobody knew she'd left AK - but she was in AZ for a reason (not the rally) and my guess at the time was real estate.
But a house with so little privacy isn't going to be a place to gestate - or even a place for Bristol and Tripp to live a non-pregnant life. Is it instead Gino Paoletti's new house, and merely a handy decoy?
I'll guessing that once Bristol moves to Arizona, she will continue her role as a teen pregnancy advocate.
ReplyDeleteI admit that in ´08 sarah was somewhat presentable. Props go to her campaign handlers who were working 24/7, breaking their backs, and doing their best to hide sarah. Now I know why.
ReplyDeleteThey were making her STFU.
LMAO!
What can i say. I am so totally with the first poster.
ReplyDeleteI once called it the doggie axiom.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a good chance Bristol will attend college in AZ. She keeps asking Lauden if she's looked at colleges down there for one.
ReplyDeleteHey Asshole at 5:50
ReplyDeleteI have been a homeowner for over 30 years in various parts of the country including the westcoast, have built houses, and am a desinger. I know plenty about real estate and have invested well and made lots of money doing so. My current home/city has not been hit as bad as other places and we are fairing well, what about you? The only reason that house will ever resale for a profit anyday soon is because it will have the curse of the paylins and some idiot will want to claim that as some kind of gain. Otherwise, it is just some 2x4s held together with some chicken wire and stucco, tile floors, and cheap finishes just like the other 2million homes built within the 500 mile radius. Trust me, no investment.
That looks like just any another Southwest subdivision built during the recent boom in urban sprawl. Here in the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho area of New Mexico there are "ghost towns" of these new subdivisions filed with vacant houses that were purchased by investors and never occupied. Since so many vacant undeveloped lots that were cleared of all natural vegetation surround them, the subdivisions have become dust bowls for the few residents who reside there.
ReplyDeleteDoing the math from the Zillow info Bristol’s house and others were listed for around $44 per square foot. Now that is a subdivision in real trouble! My guess is that the Palins were led to believe this would be a good investment. I wouldn’t plan on flipping it for a profit anytime soon.
Anon@8:39
ReplyDeleteThank you. Your post was great and I finally have a reason and understanding of why the paylin phenom is such an obsession. I am not formally educated, but always very curious and self taught. I read the articles you suggested and now I have some answers to my questions and confusions. Makes total sense but does scare the hell out of me especially the part where that despite continually humiliating herself, she is still followed. I also love your explanation #2--perfect. For all of you who have not checked out the articles, it is worth the time.

ReplyDeleteIs that more of the truth and wisdom coming from Facebook?
She wants to get appointed to Mccains senate seat by her buddy Gov Jan Brewer if he doesnt make it through his term.
ReplyDeleteI can believe any reason for Bristol moving to Arizona, with the sole exception of Bristol wanting to be independent.
ReplyDeleteBristol certainly does not want to be independent of the clusterfuck that is her family of origin. Why should she? Why should she want to be responsible for organizing her own life meaningfully and earning her own way- when her family is more than willing to support her in her ignorance?
Those Palins do NOTHING on their own. Even when Track "enlisted"- and I believe he did so under threat of law enforcement- he joined a larger "unit." Bigger than his family, but still able to feed him and tell him where to go and what to do. Todd follows Sarah around like a neutered cockapoo. They drag Willow or Piper or both whenever they go someplace. (How odd their youngest child gets left behind! Or not.)
They hunt in packs. They may hate each other but they'll never break those ties. It's always gonna be them against the world.
Bristol and college? Never. She might run into someone who doesn't tell her how wonderful she is.

ReplyDeletetoo bad:
http://www.city-data.com/city/Maricopa-Arizona.html
From the City Data forum:
ReplyDelete"Please do not move here, it will ruin your life. I lived there, and yes, it ruined that portion of my life.
1) Houses are not any cheaper than they would be in the other "outskirt" suburbs. I don't know much about Surprise, Buckeye or Queen Creek, but if you are dead set on a really cheaply built house research those areas first.
2) Housing is dirt cheap everywhere. If you do your homework you can get a really awesome deal in Gilbert or Chandler.
3) The utilities are awful. In July I had an electric bill of $370. I thought I used a lot of energy, so when I called a friend in Chandler, with SRP, he actually used 20 kilo watt hours more and had a bill of $160. Water will be $60 at a minimum. Everywhere else is like $12.
4) The schools are awful. They will demand that your children be drugged with Ritalin before they even allow them into a classroom.
5) The cheap rentals brought graffiti and petty crime. I don't know if that will translate to violent crime or not.
6) There is one road in and out of town. If there is so much as a traffic stop, traffic will crawl to a near halt.
7) That road is in terrible condition. Change your tires every 10,000 miles or you'll blow out.
8) There is nowhere to eat or hang out. Be prepared to gain 20 lbs from eating fast food, unless you want to cook every night.
9) The people in town are miserable losers. It has a small town feel to it, and it's just awful. Your neighbors will do everything they can to get in your business.
10) Go exactly the speed limit at all times and never even slightly roll through a stop sign. If you do MPD will pull you over and harass you.
11) Say goodbye to your friends. They won't visit you out there.
12) Dust. Stink. I've never been in an area that had more dust, nor stunk worse, in my entire life.

Anon @ 11:01 am "And the ones who don't like her resort to makin things up which is why there is no credibility for the Trig story out there."
ReplyDeleteIn my view, this is what a "c aring, common-sense" woman would NEVER do:
- fly down to Texas from Alaska, while she is in a high risk pregnancy
- give a speech there, after leaking amniotic fluid
- then board two separate planes to get back to Anchorage
- ignore and bypass hospitals in Texas and Anchorage, hospitals equipped to handle deliveries in high risk preganancies
- (also by the way, this woman is Governor of the State, and cancels her security escort in Anchorage)
- then after landing, lets her husband drive her for almost an hour from Anchorage to the Matsu Hospital, unescorted, late at night, in the winter, after she first began leaking amniotic fluid in Texas very much earlier that day
- lets her husband take her to a hospital that is not equipped to handle the high risk birth of a Down Syndrom baby.
(Remember, this was a woman who prayed to God to not let anything happen to her dear, precious baby - as she engaged in such heedless behaviour.)
And all this because according to her husband "you can't have a fish picker born in Texas".
Are the decisions they made and subsequent behaviour credible to you?
In my view, this is it not only INcredible, but also reckless and irresponsible.
In my view, this "common-sense" woman and her husband are the ones who are "makin things up" regarding this lunatic charade.
And that is why the story of the "Wild Ride" and Trig will never go away.
P.S. You're right - we don't like her.

- Maricopa is out in the desert, easily 45 minutes from Phoenix with no traffic. -
ReplyDeleteI haven't driven the road for decades but what I recall was horrible traffic. The whole area was a shocking cesspool of pollutants long ago. I can't stand to think of the air quality now. Good place to move a toddler. When the heat isn't soaring and stagnating the air he can leave the nasty air conditioning duct environment and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Stop making out like Gino Paoletti is some kind of oil rig worker and real estate genius. He is only the latter b/c of family. He is much more an actor. Gino is playing a part.
I hope the National Enquirer stalks her like bloodhound.

They could definitely find a rental nearby. I don't know, they may be in on some of the faux stories. They are not doing Bristol like they went after John Edwards.
"Bristol Palin is and will remain a mere breeder."
ReplyDeleteBristol is uneducated and does not believe in education.
Bristol can't dance.
Bristol does not eat healthy food.
What does Bristol do best? Bristol is a breeder and a grifter.
That's the Palin's DNA.

ReplyDeleteSomeone said that Mercede posted on her Facebook happy Christmas pictures of Tripp with the Johnstons and Levi's new girlfriend. Mercede lost that honest, nice girl persona with her blog. She is not doing the right thing and saying she is on hiatus. I guess they have to play the game in order to get Bristol's charity in the way of a visit with Tripp. The brand Bristol was still bashing Levi while she was happy he had a girlfriend that could help him. Something like that.
Hey Bristol what do you read?
ReplyDelete"I eat anything and everything that I can get my hands on as I have since I was a little girl .... I'm eating the best burritos in Arizona right now --. I eat a lot of Carl's Junior when I want some divine milk shakes...I eat at McDonalds and In and Out Burgers. I eat at all of our local fast foods of course in Arizona because that's where my heart is."
Excuse me Bristol, I asked what do you read?
Sarah got the Worst Mother award:

Is Bristol's middle name really Sheeran ?
ReplyDeleteThat fits perfectly - B.S. Palin !!
(and we all know what the 'BS' stands for)
DECOY
ReplyDeleteAlaska finally taking out the trash and dumping it in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the anonymous comments had a point. What were Chucker and whats her name grandma doing as role models? Apparently nothing except digging brains out of animal skulls.
ReplyDeleteSarah can carpet bag but its a big world in the lower 48 and she has a lot of competition. There are a lot of pretty women down here and Arizona is full of beautiful, smart women of color.
And, I loved the comment about Bristol's face and that scene from Airplane. She does have a huge puss. But, so does her mom.
Somehow I just can't see the politicians already living in AZ standing aside for Palin.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @6:13 PM
ReplyDeleteI suppose you have links and documentation that "so many insiders, like people in the white house, saying that she won't run"?
Why would anyone in the WH care what Palin does? Palin is an undereducated, uninformed media creation, nothing more.
I don't personally know the President and Mrs. Obama, but I KNOW that Palin is not significant enough in anything for them to spend a single moment thinking or speaking about Palin.
People like the republican shills and lapdogs in what passes for media and journalism keep trying to push this woman in the Obama's face.
I also, too, doubt that the people who have lived in AZ all of their lives are going to stand by and allow this empty headed woman to fill McCain's seat.
Don't look for this to last long. That's a very boring area. There's no there there. Maricopa is typical of the instant cities that have sprung up around Phoenix. Big developers cut up the desert in little lots and put big houses on them.Lots of attention was paid to maximizing profits. Minimal attention was given to building communities. Except for visiting commercial establishments and what's left of the desert there's nothing to do there. Most of the nearby businesses are over in Casa Grande, which is another spot with nothing in particular to recommend it except its proximity to Phoenix. There you can find a small assortment of small versions of big box chain stores, a movie theater and a bowling alley.
ReplyDeleteAbout the only advantage I can see to that particular location is that the Phoenix airport is on that side of town so it will be easy to get to, except for during the morning commuter rush. Going into Phoenix in the morning is a bumper to bumper slog reminiscent of LA traffic. There are any number of pleasant places to live in AZ. The Phoenix metropolitan area, Casa Grande and Maricopa are not three of them.
McCain just won another 6 years in the Senate during the last election so, unless he's planning on dying or quitting, I don't think the move has anything to do with him, other than that he has introduced the Palins to a part of the country that isn't AK.
Looks like one of those bland soulless developments that have helped ruin the west.

If Sarah is going to establish residency to run for office, she probably needs a home in her own name. Pretending to live with her adult daughter probably won't cut it.
ReplyDeleteI can't post the link but there is an article about this house purchase in the NewYorkPost that says the ViceMayor of Maricopa took Todd--Todd, not Bristol--on a tour awhile back and he thought Todd was going to be buying a home for the whole family.
ReplyDeleteAs far as AZ as a choice for the Palin's, they like/are friends with Sheriffs Babeu(sp) & Jan Brewer--all bullies. They probably think they can be bullies there like in AK.
I bet Cindy McCain isn't too happy. Revenge from Sarah.
Also, Sarah ended her VP run at the AZ hotel for McCains concession speech. I bet she will launch her campaign from AZ as well.
3:59 PM
ReplyDeleteIt is not likely she would run for office in Arizona. She can be appointed to fill someones seat if that becomes necessary. This may just be a back up plan to keep her brand marketable. Republicans kept Ronnie going as Pres. While his Alzheimers got started. Cheney was always over medicated and he is only still around because of money and modern science, he never had a heart and now he doesn't even have a pulse. Since everyone is use to McCain carrying on as an idiot, no one is paying attention to his demise, it's just old McCain. He could be around for years or gone tomorrow. Whatever they are doing with Sarah is probably a back up plan.
That thing on McCain's face is looking serious. They may know he doesn't have long. The public is in the dark with all that.

ReplyDeleteThe airport may be the attraction. If this has to do with a Reality Show, the airport is a plus. A film crew could turn Maricopa into Mayberry within a week. I hope someone is documenting what it is like now. It can change radically if Bristol turns it into a brothel or sorority house full of Wasilla cousins.
Decoy house.
ReplyDeleteBased on the comments here about Maricopa, it make be the perfect place for Grifters, Inc. to set up shop. Since the Palin's popularity has declined in Alaska, they need a place of desperation and disconnection to re-establish themselves. Remember, fungus needs moisture and bacteria needs an open sore.
ReplyDeleteWell Friends, McCain may or may not be ill-may or may not complete his term (and that goes for all of us. None know when they are going to "buy the farm"). But if AZ's insane & evil governor attempts to appoint $ Paylin to his seat it would really cause Megan McCain to release the Crackin. Hopefully it would even make Cindy McCain cowboy up and say "hell to the no!" I just can't see it happening.
ReplyDeleteMore likley $ & Tard feel like they have a chance in AZ due to the high # of whacko elected officials. If $ wanted death panels, she'll get them in AZ. They will definitely be among like-minded people. They will probably take to shooting cactus & Tard can join one of those border militia groups. Willow (& later Piper) can extort money from the parents by threatening to get pregnant by a Mexican. I'd love to see $ try to spin that one.
I was looking @ a photo of Bristle & Tripp and wondering how both of his parents brown eyes resulted in his blue eyes. Tripp has 4 brown eyed grandparents as well. I know it's not impossibly for him to be Levi's son, but brown eyes are a dominant trait and this is defying my high school unit on genetics. The gene lottery is a trip (pun intended).
Who bankrolls John McCain? Cindy. Is Cindy going to bankroll sarah? why not megan? Why would Cindy like sarah?
ReplyDeleteif reagan's 11th commandment to the GOP was not to badmouth one another in the GOP, why does Sarah do it to other GOP members like the Bush's? Because Sarah is not GOP. After Obama won, she said, had she run with him, she would have won too. Sarah picked the wrong guy. And, Sarah is a parasite.

ReplyDeleteIf Levi is his father, Sherry Johnston is a blue eyed grandparent.
This is a decoy house. That doesn't mean that Bristol won't be there or "live" stay there and may have photo shoots. It is a place where they could have media control, if not like the TV station at the compound, something acceptable. Bristol can decorate bedrooms for cousins and the hockey team can move in, or Gino will do until his run is up. It is all part of the smoke and mirror tricks they learn from the movie industry.
ReplyDeleteThis can be considered an investment property if you want to use it to manufacture meth. It could be used as a half way house for the human slave market (and those who are migrating from other areas). Another way they might think of it as investment is if they know the house and area will be transformed to star in a TV show and the fame will increase values. I'm not buying the Paoletti scam about the kid from nowhere, part time Anchorage and Arizona real estate whiz, that is advising Bristol to buy a quality poor box house in a hell hole just to turn a profit in the RE market or to raise a kid.
ReplyDeleteThe town doesn't have a hospital. The Bristol branding folks want us to believe she is strong and independent while she clings cries to cousins to migrate to Maricopa. What kind of independent unwed mother is excited about bedrooms to put up migrating college age cousins? A real mother would be considering the neighborhood, possible playmates, the yard and back yard, schools, nearby hospitals and how child friendly the area is. Bristol is excited about making a home for a child into a dorm like atmosphere. She isn't doing this on her own at all if the cousins are being coherced to join in on this farce. She needs to find someone with a child she can pay off to migrate to Arizona so she looks like she is interested in her son Tripp.
If true that Tripp was seen in happy holiday photos with the Johnstons that means all parties are happy enough with arrangements. Or paid off. Perhaps the Johnstons know that Tripp will be spending most of his time in Alaska. Tripp has signed with a Public Relation firm. He no doubt has a lawyer. Things have been worked out with Levi to some degree. It isn't certain that Tripp has his own trust account, as they do with child actors or media personalities. Both parents could work with Tripp and his money could be paid to his accounts until he is of age. In this case, it may be arranged that only Bristol can work with Tripp and financially benefit .
Everybody has their price. The fact that Mercede didn't continue to be a sweet, honest girl and say something to her fans is significant.
Merry Christmas and FU to all the Johnston/Palin fans, from the Johnston/Palins!

I don't think you understand how bland and boring these instant cities are. Maricopa isn't much more than a collection of houses. It wasn't incorporated until 2003. In 2004 there were 5,000 people living there. Today the number is around 45,000. Just about everyone there is from somewhere else. There's no significant industry there and little in the way of businesses so just about everyone who works works somewhere else. There's so little business there that they have two supermarkets and no big box stores. It's a town of 45,000 people with one McDonalds, one Taco Bell and no Wal-marts. They have 2 lawyer's offices and 3 accountant's offices. Except for Wal-mart all of the big box stores in Neighboring Casa Grande were built in the last few years. About the only thing the residents have in common is the weather, which, for most of the year isn't all that great. Other than the desert there aren't even any significant geographic features there. Anything the Palins do will just add a tiny bit of color to a very colorless place.
Come to think of it, it could be a good fit. Unimaginative instant celebrities meet instant city designed by people with no imagination.
