The Alaska Ear hesitantly addresses the Todd Palin/Shailey Tripp prostitution story. However there are others NOT so hesitant!

From The Ear:

Q AND A . . . The question is: Why isn't The Omniscient Orifice waxing smarmy over the National Enquirer stories claiming Todd had an affair with a prostitute?

The answer is, "Yuck." Did you see the "story"? Basically, an Anchorage woman got arrested for running a place of prostitution. Someone in her building allegedly told someone they saw Todd. That's it, darlings.

In the latest "news," the Enquirer shouts that Anchorage police had issued a statement. Well, they did. They said everything in the story was a lie, except there was a woman arrested. No Rolodex, no anonymous tipster, no call to APD from the Enquirer to check facts, no connection to "Wasilla resident Todd Palin."

Of course, Ear may revisit the matter if the "facts" change.

So as you can see Sheila Toomey felt she had to address the story because there was so much interest, but treated it like it was radioactive acting as if the story is too "yucky" for her to waste her valuable time on, and essentially dismissing it out of hand.

That did not sit well with our friend Frozen Vogler who responded thusly:

I'm pretty sure that the "facts" have changed, or were never properly reported in the first place.

According to page 3 of the document, "Agreement by Defendant" in the court file of the alleged Madam, it says that, "APD got complaint of possible prostitution ring at an office".

That document directly contradicts the "press release" which Lt. Parker gave to the National Enquirer, which isn't listed on the official APD website.

Take a tripp to the courthouse and look at the files of the Madam and her employee, you'd learn also that the boyfriend of the alleged Madam works for the Public Defender agency, "GLG", Gorton Logue and Graper.

According to the court documents, APD seized evidence from an employee who was working on the premises at the time, and was arrested along with the alleged Madam.

What did they seize from her ?

Who complained ?

In the plea agreement with the court, the alleged Madam is directed to stay away from three people; the employee, Ms. Thomas, and two other people. What are their first names and why is she to stay away from them ?

Why did the alleged Madam change her plea recently from nolo contendere to not guilty ?

Let me just say, nicely done Frozen!  Now THAT is how to embarrass both the Alaska media, and the APD, with just one simple comment. And by the way let me also thank you for going down to the courthouse and looking up the records to set the record straight.

Since I have been getting my information elsewhere I had not thought to go down the courthouse on my own, and Frozen Vogler's decision to take the initiative turned out to be quite valuable, and definitely reinforces the Enquirer's version of events.

While we are on the subject of the National Enquirer I figure the latest copy has been out long enough so that anybody who is going to buy it for this story already has already made that purchase, so I thought it would be fine to share it with you here. (Just click the JPEG's to enlarge them.)

Speaking of getting my information elsewhere, I am still in contact with my sources, and continue to learn more about this story every day.

I have picked through some of the information I have received, and chosen a few tidbits to share with you that are very interesting but do not reveal anything that might put my source in jeopardy.  Believe me, there is MUCH more.

Fact is Sarah has known about this story since the week before Christmas. She had more than 2 weeks to prepare. She may not have known names but she knows them now. If the Enquirer or any other news source will publish what they have, they need another internet person to start basically making some connections and out right make the accusations and then no holds bar, they and others can print. The question is will they?

Another hole in the Enquirer is the location of the arrest. The arrest took place at the Decor Lighting Building, at Cybertron- Shailey Tripp's business. Her massage lic. had expired Dec. 2009 and she didn't renew it. Up until that point she had stayed on top of renewing her lic. perhaps some changes were taking place in her life.

Also Shailey Tripp had tried to break her ties with Todd Palin and within 2 weeks of that she got arrested. There may have been a real prostitution thing going on and maybe other women worked for her or with her. But she was not in any big giant prostitution ring. She did not hardly have any money to her name. She could barely even pay her bills. She literally was scraping by.

To answer the first questions I am sure you must have:

Yes I have verified who this person is.

Yes they are in a position to know this and much more.

No there is no real way of knowing that they are telling me the absolute truth about everything, however the parts I have been able to cross check so far have turned out to be accurate.

Like I have said the National Enquirer is taking the lead at this time but there is quite a lot of information that they may not be interested in dealing with, so the really damaging portions may require a different media outlet altogether.
