Well let's see what we have here.
Police statement courtesy of NE:
The Anchorage Police Department have issued the following press release:
Shailey Tripp Investigation APD #10-1823
The Anchorage Police Department investigation and arrest of Shailey Tripp has recently been mischaracterized in internet blogs and in a National Enquirer article. Several errors regarding the investigation and arrest were reported in the Enquirer article (printed and internet versions):
None of the physical evidence examined by police showed any connection to Wasilla resident Todd Palin and his name did not appear in any of the records seized by APD.
(Well unless the APD did not bother to open Shailey Tripp's computer files or check the other items they took from her business I have a hard time believing this. But fear not, the National Enquirer has what they need to tie all of this together.)
The investigation of the prostitution operation was initiated by Anchorage Police Department’s Vice Unit responding to internet advertisements, not through information developed from any tips or other persons.
(Yeah well that does not match up with anything that I have heard.)
No rolodex was seized and taken into evidence.
(No "rolodex seized" does not mean that the kind of information that might be found in one was not seized. Words are tricky.)
The National Enquirer has not contacted Anchorage Police Department Public Affairs Unit to fact check its story so their reported “call to Anchorage Police Department” could not have been returned.
(I am in the dark about the accuracy of this one, so I can offer no further enlightenment.)
“Bloggers” have had no access to the evidence seized so their linking of evidence in police custody to any other person is incorrect.
(True, none of the bloggers I know have had access to the evidence seized by the police. But THAT certainly does not mean that we do not have access to very incriminating evidence. Here is a hint: SOME of us do.)
And speaking of bloggers I suggest that everybody be very careful as to exactly who they are trusting to provide them with information. It has come to my attention that there are some wild geese being chased all through the internet concerning this story.
It is understandable that people are anxious for information, but making things up to fill the void does nobody any good in the long run and besides when the real story comes out it will make them look a little silly. Not to mention that there are real people whose live have already been negatively impacted by the Palins that do not deserve to be violated again by others desperately digging for something to put on their blog.
BTW the fact that the National Enquirer has not taken down their initial post on this subject should give everybody a pretty good indication that they are standing by their story. The Palins are going to do everything in their power to kill this story behind the scenes without giving themselves away, which should give all of us a pretty good idea of exactly how much power they still wield in Alaska.
And exactly WHEN was the last time a law enforcement agency in Alaska broke protocol and talked about a rumor circulating around the blogs and tabloids? Wasn't that about two years ago concerning a possible Federal investigation?
Hmm isn't that a coinky-dink?
More popcorn anybody?
Update: Thomas Van Flein's favorite gossip site also has the story. Hmm I guess somebody is STILL on the payroll.
Update 2: It looks like the Enquirer has definitely NOT been scared off of the story.
It should hit the stands tomorrow. If you guys don't mind I would really like some PDF's of this since I won't get it up here until NEXT week.
I think I already know what most of it says but I would still like to read it for myself. Thanks ahead of time.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Gryphen. You're my go-to guy on all of this ;-). I trust you over every other blog, period.
ReplyDeleteThey worded the following very carefully..."The National Enquirer has not contacted Anchorage Police Department Public Affairs Unit to fact check its story so their reported “call to Anchorage Police Department” could not have been returned."
ReplyDeleteThe NE may have called the Anchorage Police, but not the "Anchorage Police Department of Public Affairs".
Just another incidence of Sarah drawing attention to a story. God damn, she is so stupid as she hasn't learned yet that shutting up is sometimes a good idea. A police department would NEVER on their own make a public statement about bloggers or the National Enquirer. If Sarah bullied someone at the police station or paid them or in any way got them to lie, that means the justice department and FBI should be brought in. Everyone notify them.
ReplyDeleteSo are you saying the police are lying for her?
I still can't get over how stupid, evil and manipulative Sarah Palin is. Sarah you will never be president or hold any office again. You only embarrass yourself by doing stupid things like this. Bring more attention to it you nutjob. Stop lying and threatening people. We have had enough!
By the way, Todd looks sick/gaunt in that photo. He certainly does not look attractive or healthy.
As much as I despise the Palins, I think that those of us without "inside information need to walk away from this story unless and until there is harder evidence, or Mooselini cries "no mas".
ReplyDeleteThey say no physical evidence links Todd to Tripp......... they don't say anything about digital evidence.
ReplyDeleteI have a real hard time buying that APD would take it upon themselves to make any statement at all unless forced to by say.....Palin or Parnell. Something is very fishy about their statement.
Aso NE added the so called police statement to their post. Would they do that if they had been wrong? Don' think so.
so Gryphen you are saying the police department denies anything about this story. Oh well I guess she wins this one again. She really does have 9 lives
ReplyDeleteThe police department most likely responded due to pressure from the Palins and their attorneys facilitated through the DOL. You know they have people placed in the DOL. They may be threatening to sue the police thinking the information is coming from them. Todd looks like he is either chemically dependent or very ill in that photo.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that 8:45. Please enlighten us. Somehow my guess is that do NOT despise the Palins one bit. Apologies if I am wrong- we are all sick of the lying.
ReplyDeleteAnd while the Palins try to figure a way out of this latest shitstorm, Michelle Bachman has taken over Palin's spot as the tea party spokesperson. Her speech tonight had the same talking points as Sarah's usual stock-in-trade. And she was all done up to look like a MILF.
ReplyDelete"reported in the Enquirer article (printed and internet versions):"
ReplyDelete?? Thought the print edition not out yet.....how could they say it is or isn't accurate?
Well, to those of us with noses, this "official statement" is fishy. The story has been out for a minute, so the police dept took their time in replying. They can reply all they want. The genie isn't going back in the bottle.
ReplyDelete@8:55 - You are talking to someone who contributed $100 to Obama 10 minutes after Palin finshed her convention speech. I'm just saying that, unless there is something more than the NE's printed word, I'm not going to pursue this story. I don't live in Alaska, so I don't know the APD's reputation. But, for the time-being, I have to take their word for it.
ReplyDeleteAre all these Palin scandals smoke and mirrors to deflect attention from Bachmann and make her look like a sane alternative to Palin? I'm not talking about you, Gryph, but the MSM/ Karl Rove/ Murdoch and the Koch brothers.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: When did the Anchorage Police Department start responding to National Enquirer stories?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: When the story is about the Palins AND Dan Sullivan is the mayor.
Maybe someone should talk to Palin's sister's ex hubby....isn't he still at the police dept?
ReplyDeleteHave they threatened to sue the NE yet?
ReplyDeleteWhen was that picture taken of Toad? I have worked in the non profit world providing healthcare for patients of HIV/AIDS. That picture sure resembles patients that haven't gotten anti-retrovirals for treatment. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteAnxiously awaiting the next edition....
ReplyDelete"None of the physical evidence examined by police showed any connection to Wasilla resident Todd Palin and his name did not appear in any of the records seized by APD."
ReplyDeleteWhat about non-physical evidence, e.g. interview with Ms. Tripp, neighbors, etc?
And what about records that they decided not to "seize?"
Nice to see that Walt Monegan was named President of the Alaska Native Justice Center per Alaska Dispatch. Palin did him so dirty.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about the Anchorage PD news release. Shouldn't it be on the Anchorage website or somewhere besides the NE?
ReplyDeleteI can only find press releases associated with the Mayor's Office.
I found the PD press releases. The one cited by the NE re Palin/Tripp isn't there.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.muni.org/departments/police/pressreleases/Pages/default.aspx?p=1
This statement has more holes than my spaghetti strainer!
ReplyDeleteAPD essentially claims they have no direct connection between evidence seized in this prostitution arrest and Todd Palin.
That is the impression one might get because that is what the statement says? Doesn't it?
Or does it say that?
According to what NE has posted at the link above the APD statement says:
"The Anchorage Police Department investigation and arrest of Shailey Tripp has recently been mischaracterized in internet blogs and in a National Enquirer article. Several errors regarding the investigation and arrest were reported in the Enquirer article (printed and internet versions): "
Did the APD leave out any other names- say even a name with the same case # as Shailey Tripp? Was the only arrest for "AMC8.65.060: Maintaining Place Of Prostitution"?
Or was there also at least one associated arrest for practicing the art of prostitution on the premises operated by Ms. Tripp?
Continuing on- APD says according to NE link:
".None of the physical evidence examined by police showed any connection to Wasilla resident Todd Palin and his name did not appear in any of the records seized by APD.
also
"No rolodex was seized and taken into evidence."
So- If there were rolodexs- NO I meant papyrus-NO I meant tablets hand chiseled-
Lets start over. So if there were electronic devices (not rolodexs) and for some reason they were either NOT seized, or seized and then not examined for some reason (search warrant delays -or some OTHER reason), then the statement would be true. And it might be somewhat misleading.
So specifically: cell phones, other hand held devices, other bigger devices like laptops etc- TYPICALLY USED TO PLACE ADVERTISEMENTS OF VARIOUS TYPES ON THE INTERNET (see APD statement for claim of this), would require examining.
Were any such items seized?
If not- when investigating an internet based crime- PARTICULARLY when other similar prostitution investigations in Alaska have apparently discovered minors involved (Operation Cross Country); then one might ask why these items were not seized (were they even looked for?).
Or were they seized and not examined?. After this long are the seized items forfeited- or returned to the offender?
Forfeited-such as for example happened in this case:
"3AN-10-02880CR- AMC8.65.020(A): Practicing Prostitution"
Where this is found:
"Sentencing Info:
...80 hours CWS; HIV and HEP B&C tests to MOA w/in 60 days; obey area restrictions; forfeit items seized; Comply with all direct court orders and deadlines as set by court. "
Apparently submit requests for info
to the right person at the APD- only if U R NT A BLGGR.
No need to speculate- just need to point out the questions needing to be asked/being avoided.
APD sayz "Ve haf no leeks". Maybe.
Maybe no leaks are needed- just some answers.
If this is the big scandle why is Travolta the main gossip? Palin's the top corner. Your focus would be on the middle page of the article and it's not about Todd it's about John Travolta, that's the headlines.
ReplyDelete@ Ratfish re:
ReplyDeleteQuestion: When did the Anchorage Police Department start responding to National Enquirer stories?
Answer: When the story is about the Palins AND Dan Sullivan is the mayor.
BINGO!
Wow! I see on the cover of the NE it says...
ReplyDelete"I Slept with Sarah Palin's Husband"
Sounds like Ms. Tripp has either come forward and told her story or she told someone else that spilled the beans.
Thanks, Gryph!
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun!
After all that happened with Troopergate and the firing of Walt Monegan I don't trust the APD at all. Something is very very fishy and it sounds like there could be a large ring of corruption going on. Of course I'm only speculating, but boy oh boy...this is starting to sound like police, prostitutes, politicians and who knows how many more are all in bed together.
ReplyDeleteI would bet that the Anchorage 'Press Release' is not authentic.
ReplyDeleteThe release lacks the vagueness and sterile nature of a police communique regarding an on going legal matter. I cannot recall any police department releasing details or disputing facts about any investigation to the public except the bare minimum of facts they wanted released and most often were commonly known.
I don't know if the Bloggers mentioned received the "Press Release" from the Anchorage PD, or is the blogosphere just running with a passed along copy. It would seem that if the point of the PD's 'statement' was to put the Blogosphere rumor to rest, then the Bloggers mailbox would certainly be good place to start.
A press release is for the press, and most Bloggers, or at least some of the ones reporting the TP Prostitute Story are members of the press.
Gryphen-Did you get the "Press Release" from Anchorage PD?
Forgot to mention...
ReplyDeleteTodd looks like he's been on a month long drinking bender.
This Anchorage Police Department?

8:41: My first thought was Republican party - Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan (Republican) who is the boss of the Anchorage Police Department. Cover for the Palins? I so hope I'm wrong!
ReplyDeleteSomeone in the Palin den of thieves found a clean sheet of Anchorage PD letterhead lying around and...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 10:19 PM. Travolta is the lead story because he is the bigger star. And the Palins' star is fading fast.
ReplyDeleteI smell something very fishy about the police and the Palins in this situation. They look guilty as hell as usual!
ReplyDeleteTodd looks terrible in that photo, but then I've never found him attractive - too wimpy.
And why haven't we seen a tweet or a video in front of an American flag, a fireplace, and a picture of Trig responding to Obama's SOTU?
ReplyDeleteRAM must be madly working on drafts- Can't you visualize her at a desk surrounded by a pile of crumpled drafts as she tries to avoid the Tucson debacle she roped Palin into?
I just might have to subscribe to the Enquirer. Seems they are the only news source that does investigative journalism any more.
ReplyDeleteThe mainstream media is lamestream, just like Mrs. Todd Palin says. (I'll bet she really loves that name now.....Mrs. Todd Palin......I can really sink ,my teeth into that.
Who'd a thunk it? The whole world has turned upside down.
Rick
Interesting....no word about the Palins filing a lawsuit against the National Enquirer!!! In the past few years that is the first approach they have always taken - and to absolutely no avail when you go back through their records.
ReplyDeleteI'm changing the subject here to a degree in that I so hope that Gabby comes out AGAIN anti Palin as to her horrid rhetoric. What if Palin's gunsites were placed on her own head? Can you imagine how she would respond to that image?
Palin has been such an evil person to so many (in Alaska) that she needs a dose of her own medicine. Good people have become the brunt of her ways during the past few years and she and Toad are associated w/some very horrid things that have happened in Alaksa.
They project themselves to be such a christian family....evidence clearly indicates (here in Alaska) that they are not the loving family they try to project themselves to be.
What a great picture.
ReplyDeleteOn the hat-
How do you say that?
Is it speed works?
For a while.
The website might answer the question.
Wow, do you guys look bad.
ReplyDeleteIf this was a fight, it'd been stopped long ago.
When do police departments start commenting on investigations....seems odd,have they done this on other cases?..Just asking.
ReplyDeleteI agree with other commenters that this sounds fishy. What police department issues a statement like this? And especially mentioning the bloggers, ummm hello, did Sarah write this statement herself?
ReplyDeleteAlaska, this woman is really making the whole state look like it's been bought and sold. Alaskan media, police department, judicial and legal, etc.
On another blog, (Litman) there are pics of one of the ummm, massage therapists, and I don't mean to be indelicate here, but in a couple of the pics, "she" looks like a tranny. Ruh-roh!!
ReplyDeleteGryphen - after the NE story comes out - then will you PLEASE tell us what YOU know about all this?? PLEASE?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the rolodex thing, also too. Who still uses a rolodex? Even so, what house of prostitution uses a ROLODEX?!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like from everything I'm reading that this "press release" only went to the National Enquirer.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, who else always identifies "Bloggers" as the source of alleged rumors and heinous lies? This one has Sister Scandal's words all over it. Please- no tweets for over a week, no State of the Facebook Rebuttal to the President? She is in panic mode.
No one said Todd was the pimp running the prostitution ring. If you read this release carefully, it states that there was no physical evidence which linked Todd to this arrest, not that he wasn't a customer.
You don't need a "rolodex" (really, who uses that anymore, anyway?)or a used condom with Todd's DNA to link Todd to Shailey...the hookers are going on the record and GIVING INTERVIEWS, not just Shailey, but Kashawn as well.
My stores will have this tomorrow (Thursday), and I will pick up a copy...it is so worth the $3.41.
Sorry, Palin trolls, nothing you say or do can help Sarah and Toad now. When hookers do interviews this shit will be mainstream...Shailey and Kashawn will be replace Ted Williams (homeless guy with radio voice for those who live in a bubble) as the new media darlings of the moment. I can't wait for them to be on the fucking today show couch with Matt Lauer, where Toad and Bristol once sat.
Who uses a Rolodex any more???
ReplyDeleteA police department addressing a story in the National Enquirer and on blogs?????? How insane. This REEKS of the Palin heavy hand.
ReplyDeleteThe Personnel Board, the Gov, the AG, and the APD. Is there no law and order in AK?
Two points: the Anchorage PD had no interest in going after the "customers", so they didn't look.
ReplyDeleteThe customers names are written in a code or aliases were used. That's why they say they didn't find Todd's name.
Ah yes, Ratfish, the other Dan Sullivan.The pieces are falling into place.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the comments, it occurs to me that this police statement and Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson's medical statement share some similarities.
ReplyDeleteWhy are the PD even mentioning bloggers? I can't imagine that the PD came up with that nor that they needed to be that specific. Something seems fishy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, unless people are following this story, we would never be able to find out what evidence there is out there. Following the story is important. Even throwing out theories isn't a bad thing. This is just a blog, after all. I do try to keep away from saying things that are mean-spirited but have to admit that comments about the road-kill on her head have brought a smile to my face. Maybe if appearance wasn't part of her gig, I would be more unhappy that people make if part of the commentary.
Also wondering, why was an old photo released with news about her fund-raising event? Was it to pretend that Todd still "part of the picture" when maybe he wasn't there? It's hard to understand reality when stories are manipulated like that. I am grateful for those of you who are able to let us know these things.
The NE story on John Edwards didn't just explode, fully, the first time they reported on it.
ReplyDeleteIt was drip, drip, drip, over months.
Finally Edwards had to come clean.
Oh no. The rags are now touting the Toads innocence.
ReplyDelete"Todd Palin, the husband of Sarah Palin, was accused last week of having an affair with Shailey Tripp, a massage therapist recently busted for prostitution.
An investigation into the alleged prostitution ring turned up nada against Todd Palin, however. No connection to illegal activity or to Shailey Tripp. Nothing.
Let's repeat. The Anchorage Police Department is adamant they have NO information connecting Sarah Palin's husband Todd to an alleged prostitution ring."
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2011/01/todd-palin-cleared-in-massage-parlor-probe/
Interesting that on the NE website, they have the PD statement. Maybe it's a non-issue for them, or part of the issue?
ReplyDeleteThere's a few out there going overtime to make sure that WE know that the Palin's have nothing to do with this.
ReplyDeleteYea right. Bridge to nowhere, anyone?
I do believe Ms. Tripp is a computer expert. I doubt if she has kept names of clients laying around in a rolodex. Somebody needs to get a grip at the police station...sounds to me like a RAM statement. Was there a name associated with the police statement?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if Ms. Tripp sold her story to the NE? If so, I am sure she provided them with documentation.
BINGO = you are right. Mayor Sullivan is a good pal of the Palin's. APD would never care about the NE/Palin on their own (and issue a statement). Sully. That fits. He's their 'boss".
ReplyDeleteYeah, some blogs throw the kitchen sink the parrot and the dog out there - just showing off. Not about La Palin and politics.
ReplyDeleteDisecting Palin is good, Todd's hooker not so much.
JMHO :-(
NE has not retracted it's story, so maybe they have evidence that has not been turned over to the APD.
ReplyDeleteShe just couldn't shit down and shut up could she? She just fanned the flames by having Todd tell Parnell tell the AK Police to put out this statement. Written by a repug operative on the sarapac payroll no doubt. She CANNOT help herself! Just made the NE day by helping them publicize this story AND reinforces the understanding of how the Paylins USE the "power" AK Police) in AK to do their bidding, still.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Cease and Desist order? No threat of a lawsuit? Not even any stomping of Naughty Monkey clad feet?
ReplyDeleteJust the Anchorage Police Department issuing an "official statement" that the NE doesn't have some of its facts straight.
That's all you've got, Sarah? Fail.
The APD statement was evidently written by the same hack lawyer who wrote SP's "medical" statement. More interesting for what it doesn't say than for what it does.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I dunno, Mr Palin just looks cold in that picture, either on account of living in Wasilla or from being somewhere near SP.
10:19 IMO, the placement of the Palin scandal has less to do with how salacious and damning it is, and more to do with the level of Sarah's celebrity, which NE and their readers must view lower than that of John Travolta. Perhaps?
ReplyDeleteisnt that picture of Todd from an 08/early 09 interview?
ReplyDeletePretty funny Andree McLeod could hardly get any help from the Anchorage PD, but they can't wait to protect the Palin's.
ReplyDelete@anon 10:12, you wrote: "HIV and HEP B&C tests to MOA w/in 60 days"
ReplyDeletedid they really require her to take and HIV and HEP test and why?
Notice on the APD's official press release site there is no press release:http://www.muni.org/departments/police/pressreleases/Pages/default.aspx
ReplyDeletemaybe one i bring this on the blog it will magically appear...yeah like lucky charms
"And exactly WHEN was the last time a law enforcement agency in Alaska broke protocol and talked about a rumor circulating around the blogs and tabloids? Wasn't that about two years ago concerning a possible Federal investigation?"
ReplyDeletewhen....when? we know when...When the Palin's stick their necks out and ask for coverups again and again and again. Gues it's true what the rumors say - AK is corrupt right down to the rinky dink police dept.
I'm interested in the connection between the AK govt and this woman. I think there's a heckuva lot more and I dont think it's going to end tragedically
ReplyDeleteGryphen I looked for last week NE and it didn't hit the stores until Sat!
ReplyDeleteI will keep looking again tho.
After this story broke I read that ND editor went to Newsmax which explains why the NE has taken a interest in her again :) So I signed up for a subscription. They must of found out a lot when they were in Wasilla...don't you think?
I went to the courthouse, I looked at Thomas' and Tripps files, it DOES say that there was a complaint from neighbors and that APD followed up by finding her ad on Craigslist.
ReplyDeleteThat statement by APD is false, it does not match the police report in the case file, located at the Anchorage State Court Building in downtown Anchorage.
Anybody is free to go down there and dispute this, but they will see for themselves that I am right.
A law enforcement agency usually does not comment about an ongoing investigation. Since Ms.Tripp has not had her day in court, anything that they say publicly has the potential to damage the case. Someone from their public affairs department (publicity) may have come forward to issue a statement, but has no direct knowledge beyond reading the statement that was written for them.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that the words are so carefully chosen. Who still keeps a rolodex? Maybe it was a little black book or "Dear Diary." Physical evidence is different from interviewing people, including the witness(witnesses) who may have seen Todd enter or leave. And, I always trust Palin news when it is leaked to TMZ. Nuff said.
Where is the lawyer threatening to sue the National Enquirer? When "American By Heart" appeared on the internet before the publication date, there were "Cease and Desist" letters. And, much of the leaked book had to be removed from the internet. Where is the "cease and desist" command to the National Enquirer?
In the end, Sarah will end up playing the victim, not being able to trust even those who were closest and dearest to her. She will become the "single woman" that Steve Forbes was referring to. I'll wait for tomorrow, and the new lawyer for the Palin's comment.
God Todd looks awful in that picture. The wasting in his face is bad and the tired eyes......
ReplyDelete@ couriouser,
ReplyDeleteAnother person commented about this on AlaskaWTF site. He also had a couple of other points and questions that I thought was interesting. One was that the 'press release' was only sent to NE. Why would that be? Aren't press releases generally sent out to all of the media? He also made this point:
b. Police departments release general facts in their statements, they virtually never dispute the facts stated by media in their 'Press Releases'. The PD's statement of facts is their way of avoiding the back and forth any dispute before them.
Can someone up there call the Anchorage PD and speak with their PR dept to see if this is a real press release from them? If it's not, someone has sent falsified information out to a national media outlet impersonated as the APD.
You Betcha Sarah Palin has her hands and money in this. The police, mayor and Governor are all involved you better believe it.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin calls everyone else out for their misdeeds, but her hands are so clean of anything and everything right Sarah? NOT!
Ms Tripp is in jail, because of Todd. Again the Palins terrorize other people for their crimes. And this seens creepy and perverted.
Levi and many other people do not have rights even if they have the best lawyers up thir in Alaska. Palin has force going on all over.
The police department and all people covering for the Palins regarding this situation need to be brought down.
The NE needs to stay with this story and they need to expose these sick and demented people and their sick acts and violence.
@10:19 - because John Travolta sells more paper than Sarah Palin. He's more loved than she is.
ReplyDeletePolice depts are usually corrupt, not just the famous LAPD.
ReplyDelete"Official Anchorage PD Press Release WEBSITE shows NOTHING regarding a Todd Palin / Shailey Tripp press release. http://bit.ly/hP9Vsn Sooooooo... Who issued the APD "Press Release" yesterday? Hmmm.....
ReplyDeleteCould this woman acting like any other sap trying to cash in on the Palin name and be lying?I don't doubt she knows Todd or even Sarah. There are multiple connections to the AK govt. I just find it weird that Todd, a man who was the unofficial Gov, would risk this much. THAT doesn't add up.
ReplyDeleteToad looks like Tom Hanks in Philadelphia towards the end of the movie
ReplyDeleteThe "rolodex"' comment could be a reference to another high profile prostitution bust that happened years ago in Anchorage.
ReplyDeleteThe madam purportedly kept a rolodex with her customers names and what they were into.
Supposedly there were some high profile names in there.
Prostitution and the abuse of women in Alaska is prevalent, just look at the most recent headline in the ADN regarding Officer Rollins.
Then there was the case of the lawyer who works for the public defender's agency, getting caught with an underage prostitute.
Funny how that guy didn't have to register as a sex offender too.....
I also think this is a fake press release. No real police station sends a release only to the NE. It's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the NE validated this. I hope someone is making sure this a real document. If it is, they are crooked as hell and if I was an Alaskan, I'd be furious.
If it's real, why not send it to the Alaskan media.
This has Sarah written all over it. She thinks she is so clever. The woman is a sociopath.
Why not just contact the person in charge of APD's Public Affairs ?
ReplyDeleteLt. Dave Parker 907 786-8724
anon @ 5:01 - Yes they did, you can find this information at the State of Alaska Court system website, it's right there.
ReplyDeleteIt's unknown as to why they are making her do this, the obvious speculation is that she's an IV drug user.
This is a joke, right? So the Palin response is to go down to the PD and have them write one? And that's not obvious? They truly believe people are that dumb? They've only made things worse, again. Now that's how to turn drama into comedy. How pathetic, they continue to be their own worst enemies.
ReplyDeleteI think a Palin/Anchorage Police bribe is way more interesting than the initial sex indiscretion. I sincerely hope someone investigates the "press release" and the Palin's very carefully.
ReplyDeleteRemember, Sarah got Track and Willow out of serious police charges, so why couldn't she also get Todd out of police trouble. There must be a "friend" involved.
Seen in HuffPo:
ReplyDelete"Bristol Palin Speaking At Washington University For 'Sex Week'"
The event takes place next month. I imagine it will be a very public event.
Im still not buying into the whole "there are people hurt by the palins" statement. I think people use that to cover their own misdeeds. That makes more sense to me. Jealousy and a quest for money/temp fame is a huge part of "speaking out" and really is the only prize.
ReplyDeleteTruth is, there are still many many palin friends in AK. People who avoid the press because it's one sided. Kids of "palin haters" pick up on the hatred and project it as well. There's no reason to single the palins out as being the worst. Not when most teenagers up there behave 100 times more badly than the P kids. (through faebook admission)The only reason these kids cash in on the palins is because they want money to fund their expensive habits. Whats funny is, most of them have been arrested (just last week "the raghead" was busted for a dui) and are doing community service. Jealousy and small town life go hand in hand. and when Sarah became the national spokeperson for AK, im sure that didnt sit well with a lot of people for stupid reasons.
and btw not even the johnstons were justifiably hurt by this family. Victims of a bad relationship between Bristol and Levi? Yes. But thats common. What was Sarah supposed to do once Bristol came to her senses and dumped Levi? continue to invite his family over for tea and crumpets? I'm sure Bristol demanded that her whole family not associate with them, as she demanded Ben not talk to Levi. I have a feeling BRistol wears the pants in the family. Levi found a way to fight back by using politics. That pissed Bristol off more and the war escalated.
What I described best illustrates what probably went down. Bristol showed no signs of stress or unhappiness in early-mid 09. She accompanied her family to Juneau, she attended all the summer Gov events. I think the custody bullshit has always been about Bristol simply coming to her senses and attempting to cut Levi from her life as much as possible. and he made is pretty easy as he pursued fame/fortune off her name.
Well, now that the "police" have made their statement, the Palins are coming out of the closet now that the coast is clear.
ReplyDeletePalin will be on Greta tonight to discuss the SOTU address.
Is it really too much to ask to get this freakin woman off of my TV. Really? What has to be done? Come on you guys.
The NE and the blogs are not enough! It has to go national. What do you have to do to get this to national news. Is there anyone who can present some god damn proof!
I've about had it with her slipping out of everything
I hope all the bloggers in Alaska know if their computers are hacked or their phones bugged. I would not put anything past the Palins.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 5:55...That's the same way man felt when John Edwards and Tiger Woods made the headlines of the NE. Todd has lived under the rule of this screw for a long time, no wonder he HAS to stray.
ReplyDeleteAnd, having thought about it, why would the APD send the NE a press release statement regarding a story that they themselves state that they were never called about?
ReplyDeleteThe National Enquirer has not contacted Anchorage Police Department Public Affairs Unit to fact check its story so their reported “call to Anchorage Police Department” could not have been returned.
How could they have known that NE called APD if the article hasn't come out yet?
@3:55 -it doesn't add up that men "risk that much" for sex? You don't know men, sorry. Some of the most famous & powerful men in the world do it all the time, including former Presidents of the USA.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 4:58 am "Pretty funny Andree McLeod could hardly get any help from the Anchorage PD, but they can't wait to protect the Palin's."
ReplyDeleteThank you for your very telling & sad statement. Shows you just how shoddy and unprofessional the APD is in these two matters.
Palin may buy off people in Ak. However, she can not buy off the powerful people in The GOP that have no more use for her. I would not be one bit surprised if the power players behind her success may also be the same people who are out to destroy her presidential hopes. This has the aroma of TurdBlossam all over it. She should have never messed with ROVE!
ReplyDeleteNice hat. He looks like he's been, "workin' some speed".
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:22 Change the channel. It always works for me. Most of the time the FoodNetwork has something nice on, and you'd never catch SP stooping so low.
ReplyDeleteAnon@ 6:22: The community you are describing sounds very, very dysfunctional and unhappy. Is it really that bad? Sarah Palin always talks about the importance of small-town values and community spirit. Isn't Palin a leader? She was the mayor of Wasilla and the Governor of the whole state: Why couldn't she lead people to come together? Why is her oldest daughter in a "war" with her child's father? Why is the atmosphere there so antagonistic?
ReplyDeleteThere is no way that press release is official or real. That's a smokescreen, and I bet at the Palin's request.
ReplyDeleteRemember what you do when the Palins smokescreen? Look in the exact opposite direction.
Keep pushing, Gryphen. You have them on this one.
I agree. Powerful men illicit sex because it makes them feel more powerful. But I still think there's more to the Todd/Tripp relationship than merely cheating. He and Sarah are the modern day bonnie and clyde
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like pyschopath SArah wrote this herself and is crediting the APD. Kinda like when you are in third grade and forge a letter from your parents to give your teachers when you failed math.......Sarah we know this was you, just like the medical record you forged and said it was from CBJ. You really are pathetic. And those who alllow you to continue on will be held accountable someday.
ReplyDeleteGryphen: o/t did you see Palingates profile on Ms. Tripp? I think she is a con artist ala Frank Abagnale....she states she is rocket scientist with a masters in aeronautical science from Embry Riddle??? Funny if you google aeronautical science your first hit is Embry. She also states she is a computer expert? I think she is bright but a con artist. Please discuss.....
It looks like National Enquirer could have another story.
ReplyDelete"The power that the Palin family welds in Anchorage resulted in the falsification of a APD press release defending Todd Palin and sent only to the National Enquirer in a desperate attempt to portray his innocence."
So we know Bristol gave baby Tripp Todd's middle name as a family custom. But I don't think she would name him after a prostitute, nor do I think she knew any of this. EVerytime I see Tripp, he's happiest being held by Todd. Bristol's even said in early interviews "he loves my dad."
ReplyDeleteMayor Sullivan has had his own indiscretions with a hot party planner he hired for the city. Maybe his own name along with other officials was on the rolodex. Nothing would surprise me in Alaska
ReplyDelete@Next Chapter:
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:13 am posted this link above, which shows that this is not an APD press release.
http://www.muni.org/departments/police/pressreleases/Pages/default.aspx
Or, at the very least, it's not an official, public release... just something they sent to the NE. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
sidenote: that vandalism story from dec 09 wasn't accurate. 1. the teens actually involved and who instigated the event had no idea it was discusses publicly 2. they still brag about it being one of the best parties 3. there's fb evidence that says willow arrived at some point in the middl eof the party and left soon after the track story is also still highly suspect of holding any truth. Let's stick to the facts. because there's obviously enough to work with
ReplyDeleteThe Chateau a whore house in Anchorage was shut down in 2006 and they found over four thousand names and sexual preferences on a rolodex. Many city and state officials on the rolodex but never a peep came out. http://www.pierretristam.com/Bobst/library/wf-117.htm
ReplyDeleteSarah and Todd might think they are so clever, but neither are politicians and this will not go away.
ReplyDeleteThey have just jumped the shark and made this much worse for them.
Keep them accountable for their actions, make them retreat back under their rocks.
Just say NO to all that is Palin, they will take everyone connected to them down with their fall.
Has anyone here (in Alaska) contacted the spokesperson/media contact person for the police dept? Would seem pretty easy to get a statement.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if there was a statement released to the media it would be published by other sources there. TV, radio, & newspapers.
If not. Tis just made up.
Isn't it illegal to write a false letter from the Alaska Police Dept?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like if I wrote a fake letter impersonating the police dept in my state that I could get in some trouble.... yes?
OK, put on your middle school hats and imagine: VFP(Van Flein Palins) have a chat or email with someone at APD. Took the chat/responses and spun them into a 'statement' and sent that to NE. They will claim NE erred in stating it was a 'press release'. The 'statement' begins with the line citing an APD investigation # and nothing more. Nowhere does it state time/date issue etc. Releases in some jurisdictions are actually numbered for future reference.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine..."Did anyone have access to evidence in the matter?" "No." OK then, "anyone" becomes "bloggers" and is now a part of the VFP 'statement', which is then characterized as "adamant" and somehow called a press release.
Those of us who want to believe that Todd has any connection to this without any evidence are no better than the cult that worships Sarah. Her cult idolizes her only because they so desperately want to believe that their idea of Sarah is real, so they project what they want to see onto her. Sounds like some here so desperately want to see Sarah go down, they'll too believe what they want to believe and see what they want to see, even if there is no evidence or if there is evidence to the contrary.
ReplyDeleteThis is not to say that people should stop digging. But, really, we don't have those facts yet.
Let's not be like her cult and jump into fantasy worlds. Let's stay in reality and get the facts.
"and he made is pretty easy as he pursued fame/fortune off her name."
ReplyDeleteexcuse me Sarah? you mean the 'cash COW' made a fortune off of Levi's sperm, or someone's sperm.
I love the word "issued". An action word/a verb, commanding, yet vague enough. We "issue" orders, statements, press releases! As in the APD has issued....or was it someone at APD responds to an inquiry from VFP and VFP applies the wonderful, versatile word "issued". Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSomething smells! On the anchorage police dept. web page you can access press releases. Guess what? This "release" is not listed. Hmmmmmm!

ReplyDeleteBristol the pistol is going on the road to promot sex?
I wonder who is babysitting?
You electro-sleuths need to go back to something more productive like analyzing tiny computer photos with magnifying glasses.
ReplyDeletePathetic.
@ 9:39; I too have seem to notice that Todd's health is taking a nose dive. He's lost a lot of weight this year. He did not do the Iron Dog race this year - I thought originally because of the past issues with his racing team - but now I think it may be because he is sick.
ReplyDeleteOf course, any health issues he may have could just come from being under the constant stress and pressure of being married to Sarah. - Hedgewytch
Also look at today's issue of ADN!!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it isn't the misdeed that brings you down. It's the cover-up. Just ask Tricky Dick Nixon.
ReplyDeleteThat said, the police "release" seems fraudulent or at the least, misleading. This is nothing the Palins haven't done before. They were found guilty of abuse of power in the Troopergate case, but had their own "investigation" done that supposedly found they did nothing wrong. They are always grasping at straws to prove they are above board. And they have connections in a lot of high places in Alaska. I just hope when the Palins go down, the people who have been covering their asses go with them.
Rick
crimes in Wasilla city limits is WPD jurisdiction they do what ever the Palins want!! out side city limits would be Alaska State Troopers. Anchorage a large area about 40 miles woukd be APD. Feds go anywhere.. maybe it wasn't APD?
ReplyDeleteAh, paid or un-paid Palin Bots....you sound really nervous now. Why might that be?
ReplyDelete"I think the "press release" was a fake issued from Sarah because it is not posted online with the other official releases on the APD website."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.muni.org/department.../
Looks like the First Dude is off the hook.
ReplyDeleteThe Anchorage Police Department blasted the National Enquirer’s recent report that Todd Palin is embroiled in a sex scandal involving an extramarital affair with a massage therapist who belonged to a prostitution ring.
"It was just guilt by innuendo, nothing else," Lt. Dave Parker told the Daily News on Wednesday. "There’s not one scintilla of evidence that Todd Palin had anything to do with this."

ReplyDeleteSo what's up with this? Have you been hoaxed?
Anon @ 8:43 am "Also look at today's issue of ADN!!!!"
ReplyDeleteI'm looking, but cannot seem to see what you are seeing. Can you give a hint?
8:28, Todd is entered in this year's Iron Dog with another former winner, Eric Quam. His previous partner, Scott Davis, is entered this year with his son. Davis wants to race with his kid and then retire. No issues between them.
ReplyDeleteKeep digging for dirt, eventually you'll find some.
She just doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut. By having the police release a statement, which is NEVER done, except for the Palins', she's bringing more attention to the story. Where's the lawsuit, $arah? That's your usual M.O.! You always use the threat of a lawsuit when you can. If you can't sue because it would mean you would actually have to answer questions on this story, just like Trig's birth, it speaks volumes. You're too stupid to know when to shut up!
ReplyDelete5:55, your naivite has me in stitches... may I remind you of one William Jefferson Clinton?
ReplyDeleteLOL, 8:10, What's pathetic is that the Palins continue to abuse power and now even have a police lt. doing their dirty work with carefully phrased presser.
ReplyDeleteAnd nobody needs a magnifying glass to look at full sized pics posted on the internet of a not-pregnant Sarah.
The tell, of course, is that you and the other Dumb Bots are here, trying to defend the Grifty Fraud. If we really were that pathetic, you'd ignore us. :-)
7:43, apparently the "facts" are that these women are on record in an interview with the NE, and presumably the police as well, to having had sex with the Toad. That may not be "physical evidence," but it shouldn't be ignored.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the Toad's denial be more believable? We already know there was a campaign donation of services, so it can be assumed they do know each other.
The police Lieutenant Parker coming to the defense of Sarah is appallingly transparent.
