Palin with Frank Bailey |
Now according to the Enquirer the revelations in the Bailey manuscript may contain information that will prove too much for the marriage to withstand.
"The Palins' marriage was already shaky, and this book is so scathing regarding Todd that it could cause Sarah to leave him," said a source familiar with the manuscript.
Sources say Palin, 47, is desperately trying to discredit former confidante Frank Bailey, who plans to publish a blockbuster book titled, "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years."
Even while Sarah was running for governor, the couple's marriage was shaky, according to the book.
"The only love they shared was the love of Sarah's career, and everything they did was aimed at Sarah's public image," the source says. "Todd and Sarah stayed together solely for political purposes.
None of this comes as much of a surprise to me, however there was a part mentioned in this article about a possible pornographic image of Sarah Palin that I found very interesting, and not for the reasons you might assume.
In one bombshell, Bailey reveals Palin's husband Todd didn't seem to blink an eye when a doctored nude photo of her popped up during her gubernatorial campaign.
When told about the photo, Todd, 46, asked only if it was real, Bailey says.
Then the "First Dude" just laughed and hinted that snapping a nude photo of his wife would be easy since their house had so many windows and she walked around with her robe open, according to an insider familiar with the book.
Bailey, who is clearly infatuated with Sarah, is horrified that Todd does not react with more anger, especially since they attack almost ALL potentially damaging rumors with the tenacity of a pair of rabid pitbulls, but the part that caught my eye was this one: "she walked around with her robe open."
Well this incident, which takes place around May of 2006, certainly paints an image of a woman who is not terribly self conscious when in her own home. Which got me to thinking, how in the hell could a woman who had a habit of walking around the house virtually naked have possibly hidden her pregnancy from her own children (as she claims in her book "Going Rogue" on pg.191, and has been corroborated by other sources as well) for seven months? According to Palin she "shared the news with family" in March right before she went public.
So are we to believe that a woman who walked around the house semi-nude often enough that her husband had no difficulty believing somebody could have photographed her in that condition through their giant plate glass windows, suddenly started dressing so conservatively in her home that NOBODY in the family realized she was pregnant?
Like I have said all along, there is NO way her family would not have known she was pregnant, which is just another obvious indication that she faked the whole thing.
And despite Frank Bailey's denial of the evidence that was right in front of him, his book is just chock full of evidence that does much to prove she faked this pregnancy right under the noses of her closest friends, and trusted advisers, who were clearly so enamored of her that they were unable to recognize that they were all being taken for a "wild ride" right along with the rest of Alaska.
I have made this plea in private, but let me once again make it in public; PLEASE GET THIS BOOK PUBLISHED JUST AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!
This is just gossip that's completely unsubstantiated. Leading credence to this gossip in order to prove another piece of gossip makes very little sense.
ReplyDeletePublish and they will come.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. I didn't download a copy of the book so I'm working from ignorance here, but IS there enough in that book to cause the marriage to break up? It sounded to me more like confirmation of what we already knew rather than new stuff. Is that true, Gryphen? I realize you want to protect the authors' copyright, but you can answer this, can't you?
ReplyDeleteMy memory is a bit foggy, but I remember reading back during McCain's Presidential campaign, a couple of campaign workers (men) came to the Palin hotel room to speak to Sarah.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, Sarah came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and these men were not only uncomfortable by this display, they were surprised at Todd not giving a damn that she did this.
Does anyone remember this?
Denise (Michigan)
Now we know the real reason Joe McGinniss wanted that house next door! Forget peeping into Pipe's room. He wanted the full frontal from the missus. I'm with anonymous 10:31. Can you at least answer that question based on your reading of the book?
ReplyDeleteI just heard a rumor that your quitter queen has moved or is moving in with her daughter in AZ so that she can run for Kyl's seat in 2012. Can't you guys keep your trash from blowing into our backyard? We have enough lunatics in our state legislature and govs office without this POS thinking she can move here and represent the normal human beings.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting against divorce, no matter how crazy S is, and unfaithful T is.
ReplyDeleteTheir bottom line is money, and even if T could walk away with a big chunk, he won't. Because S would kill him.
I just want the Palin tell-all books to come out, period. I need some trashy novel of horrific women to read by the pool.
ReplyDelete@10:31- I think the implication is that since the love from the marriage has been gone for quite a while, Sarah will divorce (distance) herself from Todd to save her image.
ReplyDeleteCarrie
P[ease get the book published fast. Sarah has gotten away with too much too long.
ReplyDeleteHave been saying for months that they are likely "legally separated."
ReplyDeleteLook up divorce laws, including legal separation, for Alaska and for Arizona.
Good point, Gryphen. Everyone's focused on the marriage aspect, but you're right: if she was always walking around exposed (ewww), how could she hide a pregnancy? And was she exposed in front of her teen-aged son??? This just gets crazier and crazier.
ReplyDeleteAny info on if and when the book will be published? I want to get in line!
10:44 Yes, I remember hearing about that episode. God, I hope the entire Palin clan is brought down with Bailey's book. Can hardly also to read the books being put out by McGinniss and Dunn..there is no way idiot Palin will be able to run for anything!
ReplyDeleteDo I think that the information in the book will break up the marriage. For all intents and purposes the marriage is already broken up.
ReplyDeleteCurrently it is only a marriage of convenience to keep Palin's family values credibility intact.
What will ultimately destroy the marriage is if Sarah decides that Todd is more of a liability than she can afford. Then she will leave his ass so fast it will leave tire skid marks on the roads leading out of Wasilla.
Denise@10:44
ReplyDeleteI think the towel story was in the book Game Change.
I'm with 10:52...spring's coming and with the pool opening in a few months I will need a few trashy book to read. This will be perfect to bother all my right wing neighbors.
ReplyDeleteClarissa, did you not read the article? It is based on Frank Bailey's first hand account of years working with Sarah. Get with the program, girl.
Where's the other Palin fairy tale trolls to spin their tales of the shiny happy townsfolk of Wasilla? We're waiting...
I do Denise! Here it is!!!!!!LMFAO!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/05/palin-once-greeted-mccain_n_141394.html
And, this woman is going to give a speech about religion that is going to be broadcast across the nation to 1,000 churches?
ReplyDeleteWho never attends church in the Valley, who doesn't contribute to her supposed church and who doesn't act like a 'christian' and I use that term loosely where she is concerned. She's proven to be a liar (Alaska and nationwide) and an unethical person (Alaska Legislature during the national campaign w/McCain).
The fact there are actually "some" Americans that find her 'someone to listen to' just amazes me. There are some pretty stupid people in our country and we are being laughed at (due to her) by other countries. She has also become a major embarrassment to Alaska and Alaskans.
The idiot needs to go down!
Where on earth did she learn that walking around half naked was okay? Especially with a teenage male around and huge paned windows? Another throw back to Creepy Chuck perhaps? Something is seriously wrong with that family and it did not start with Sarah.
ReplyDeleteWhere was Track and his friends during that time? Surely Sarah would not expose her son, but if Todd had no objections, anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteClarissa: Remember, Frank has 60,000 emails, so he has proof of any allegations.
ReplyDeleteThat is why THIS book is so different.
Walking around with her robe open adds a little to the babygate story, but what really gets me is how does a family that purports to be so close not know their mother is 6 + months pregnant? She may have been able to hide it with scarves for friends and co-workers, but do her kids never hug her? My kids hug me everyday, and they would notice if I was 6 months pregnant. I can see maybe Piper not figuring it out because she was younger, but 3 teenagers who have all seen their mother pregnant before? Either the family is as cold or colder than we thought, or the whole thing is BS. I'm thinking a combo of the two.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of mother keeps that kind of secret from their children and her parents? If I knew I was having a DS child, I would want to prepare my other children and I'd want the support of my family. Keeping it a secret is mind boggling. Either she was in extreme denial and hoping the child didn't make it, or she faked it (which is what I think she did). Either way, it speaks to her mental stability.
I honestly think the e-mails announcing her pregnancy (her closest staff was shocked) and about the Bristol rumors in FB's book support babygate more than her walking around with her robe open.
Uugghh.
ReplyDeleteNot a good look--A vision of Sarah walking around in an open robe made me throw up in my mouth.
That mariage will NEVER end. She'll live in one place and he'll live in another. The perfect fundy divorce. She needs to show up at least once a year for photo-ops for the Iron Dog. And he needs to grin ear to ear beside her when she threatens everyone with some kind of stupid senatorial or presidential run.
I think that no matter how much a sham the marriage is, she can't TRULY leave Todd. She has a very small circle of confidants who "knows where the bodies are" (quoting article), and Todd has to be number ONE. Plus, who else would so zestfully do her "legwork".
ReplyDeleteHeck, sometimes I think Sarah is a front for Todd.
And yes it was reported that during the 08 campaign, she nonchalantly greeted some McCain staffers while wrapped only in a bath towel.
Denise: Yes, I recall reading about the same incident. i.e. Sarah parading around in a towel in from of strange men and her husband.
ReplyDelete"I was the first person to report..."
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, but I wonder why you feel compelled to make this remark periodically. I think we all know when we hear stuff at your blog first.
Gossip? Really Clarissa? How could a woman, living among all of those family members "hide" it and for 7 full months? Better yet, WHY hide it?
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the beach photos of the half term governor the idea of seeing her nude is repulsive. Someone on the McCain campaign said she had bad "hygiene". She is a nasty looking woman.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gryphen's argument about difficulty hiding a pregnancy in a half naked state. But there are healthy families that are more comfortable with family nudity than most of America and there is nothing illegal, immoral or unethical about it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the kids are uncomfortable with parental nudity, and parents should respect the children's feelings along with their values and beliefs, but no one said the kids complained about it.
Sometimes it seems like people want to make things even worse than they are, and things are so messed up with SP that it is totally unnecessary and weakens the argument.
Clarissa you are a professor of what? Have you ever been to Alaska.
ReplyDeleteThe story also makes me wonder if there are nude photos of Sarah 'out there' and Todd was afraid one of them had surfaced. Maybe there are even some good videos.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the book. Hurry, hurry...please!
Meanwhile, Anchorage folks can pressure the APD to officially recant the bogus police statement about the other NE story. And anyone with other goodies about the Palins can come forward.
I just read that she is moving her headquarters to Arizona. I'll bet no one in Alaska is sorry to see her go. The article on PolitcoUSA (link on the side) really is brutally honest about her.
ReplyDeleteOne very snarky comment...I would defy anyone to look at the picture at the top of this with Sarah and Frank and tell me that she is "beautiful" She looks like a freak...head is WAY out of proportion to the rest of her..looks like a halloween pumpkin face. Clearly taken before she had so many procedures.
And...ew..the thought of her running around the house with an open robe is just creepy.
Fading Sarah Palin Flees Alaska for Arizona With Eye On Dying 2012
ReplyDeleteThe former “hottest governor from the coldest state” has taken quit a dive in both political polls and general perception of hotness. Not only is she no longer governor of Alaska after quitting on them, but she is no longer considered hot either, winding up #1 least desirable woman of 2011 on Ask Men. But reality never daunts Sarah Palin. Palin may be quitting on Alaska again, this time for good, as rumors suggest she’s moving her 2012 Presidential headquarters to Arizona, perhaps in hopes of the desert heat reigniting her dying flame.
While the political polls show Palin tanking over the past two years, the public’s perception of Palin is even more telling of her 2012 chances. Sarah Palin’s image has taken several seemingly irreversible hits since 2008, the largest of which were her self-pitying blood libel video in the wake of the Arizona massacre along with petty fights she’s picked with over 87 public figures in an attempt to stay in the spotlight.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-arizona-dying-2012
New article from Sarah Jones on Palin move to AZ to set up presidential headquarters. She could also be setting up residency to run for senate given Kyl is out and McCain's seat could potentially open at any time. If you consider Bristol's move to Maricopa, Sarah's tight relationship with Gov. Jan Brewer and Van Flein's move to the state it is obvious something is in the works.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-arizona-dying-2012
Sarah is not going to enjoy the way she is portrayed as cold and heartless and losing her sex appeal. Maybe we should ask Chuck if those guns they sleep with keep them warm at night.
If there's a divorce, who gets custody of the imaginary toddler?
ReplyDeleteDenise in Michigan, yes, I remember the story about Palin answering the door to McCain staff (Schmidt??) wearing only a bath towel.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember reading the story was debunked, unless one counts AnnfromCA's breathless denials on the Huffpo.
Denise, I remember that anecdote about the towels.
ReplyDeleteShe can't dump toad, he has too much dirt on her. They both would go down the drain, and the money would dry up. They're stuck with each other. Ha, that's karma at work.
ReplyDeleteApropos of nothinrg, I wonder why she didn't wear a strapless bra with that spaghetti-strap dress?
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me Bristol told her mother, "it's OK, we wear skinny-strap tank tops and camisoles all the time with brs straps showing - no one will say a thing, Mom..."
Remember Sarah was comfortable opening her hotel door to men she barely knews while wrapped only in a towel. Maybe that's where Bristol gets her Christian values from. Bristol does not have problems being with the boys if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that she would base her campaign in AZ. The travel bills would be half of what they would be had the campaign been based in Alaska, there are probably other logistical benefits as well.

10:30 AM
Sarah is it gossip when it comes from Todds mouth?
Todd knows too much which is why they are still together. Sarah will never risk pissing him off to the point where they split up. They are both in this for the money. Still, the book would be entertaining to read.
ReplyDeletei am tired and worn out hearing all the things coming that will finally be the end of all her crap.
ReplyDeleteJUST GET TO IT ALREADY!!!
bill in belize
The more I hear and read about Sarah and her lack of boundaries, i.e. running around in an open bathrobe in front of open windows and possibly in front of her teenage son, walking around in front of McCain's people in nothing but a bath towel, her father behaving toward her (remember him wearing the t-shirt that said "Hottest Governor in the Coldest State")in a way that is clearly and sexually weird - it just screams abuse. Something strange went on there and she doesn't know where to draw the line because she was never allowed to have or taught any boundaries. She was, however, taught how to tease and never follow through. That's how she keeps her followers. She's fucked up in a really sick way.
ReplyDelete11:52 - you nailed the right question!
ReplyDeleteWhy indeed hide a pregnancy when you have already attained the office you sought.
Denise - YES
ReplyDeleteOh oh! Talk is Sarah is moving in with Bristol.
ReplyDeleteOh oh there was pictures of Gov Jan Brewer of Arizona in Alaska.
Oh oh if something happened to McCain, Brewer can appoint someone to his position.
Oh oh, John I would stay away from Sarah.
I hope it's true about Palin moving to Arizona. Now she can officially and forever be: "Tucson Crosshairs Sarah."
ReplyDeleteSarah's life crumbling apart. Got to celebrate it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Bailey wants to be the guy to concentrate on the Trig story. He has enough other damaging evidence. He wants someone else to expose that scandal. Like you Gryphen?
ReplyDeleteI think both Todd and Sarah have had many affairs. I think Sarah has been sleeping with Graham or some other guy that has a lot of money. Sarah sleeps around like Todd guarentee it.
Sarah uses men for what she wants that is obvious. Just like she does people. That is the only way you can get to the top of the ladder. Sarah is no innocent lady and has a closet full of skeltons!
Sarah will do anything to get to the top. Malia Litman has an article up about not underestimating Sarah. But it is not going to be easy to fool the people of America. The only way Sarah could win the Presidency is by rigging it with her rich boyfriends!
The answer is that Sarah has no self awareness. Or else, when she looks in a mirror, there is no reflection there, just like in the vampire movies.
ReplyDeleteShe put on a scarf and thought that it was a way to "hide" a so-called pregnancy. As governor, sitting on the stage for a memorial service. she chose to wear a short, tight skirt hiked up to you know where. (Guess what she'll be wearing in India, too, you betcha). She wore red sandals with high cork heels to another Memorial Day service; she really has no idea of how she looks, or she has the worst taste in the world.
So, to walk around with a robe open, all I can say is that at least she had a robe on. The Huffington Post quote from Game Change was the first thing that came to my mind, just like Denise from Michigan:
At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said.
Sarah knew early on that she could work her charms to get her way. She was quoted as saying that she was going to a city council meeting, and she had to wear her best push up bra (because she wanted to get her way).
Sarah leave Todd? It will cost half of her fortune. Changing her residency to Arizona won't help. Arizona is one of 10 community property states (like Alaska). That means that Todd gets half. She is too cheap to give him that much, especially since he could blackmail her for more hush money. That's the problem with marrying a Big Bully. He knows all of the secrets and he knows how much they are worth.
Sarah leaving Todd (to play the victim) is not a good image for that Christian bunch. I don't see that as a plus in the family values crowd, any more than a teen having a baby out of wedlock is a positive message. If she was going to leave Todd, she had her chance when the prostitute story came out. Todd has no reason to leave; he is riding the gravy train. And, I don't think that Sarah can find a bigger bully to act as her body guard. They really do deserve each other.
They were never and will never get a divorce. Too many things were lined up from the get go for past rumors to be true.
ReplyDeleteThe campaign towel incident (that didnt exist) never mentioned Todd. You are combining stories, something that often happens when people speculate too much
ReplyDeleteShe would not divorce toad she knows that would be the end of her evangelical base what kind of woman can not keep her man satisfied. Won't happen period she even has Falwell talking about the attacks on her and her family probably setting the stage for when the book comes out . I will say the same thing malia litman Said in the voice of Ricky Bobby " please baby Jesus let frank Bailey find a publisher soon"
ReplyDeleteIt could be that she's hoping that a move and congressional race in AZ will leave her skeletons in the closet and keep hope alive for 2016.
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah has the balls to move to AZ after the target maps and shooting of Rep Gabbby Giffords and the killings of 5 people and injurying many others.
ReplyDeleteThat my folks is the audacity of BALLS! That lady thinks the state of AZ is going to welcome her with open arms? I don't think so.
Jan Brewer has a group trying to recall her.
Maybe Sarah will get stranded in the middle of the desert and melt into the hot sand never to resurface!
I have to say, Bailey didn't say, in the manuscript (I read it) that she walked around half-naked when her kids were around. He didn't say either way who was around. Obviously Todd was, though.
ReplyDelete12:39 PM said: "11:52 - you nailed the right question!

I think the WHY is the critical question. Something bigger than a teen daughter and her boyfriend?

Is this a picture from their big prom date?
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what she would do go after Kyla seat and she will probably win as goofy as Arizona has been lately
ReplyDelete10:50 am - Sarah moving to Arizona and running for Kyle's seat??????
ReplyDeleteNot enough money and she would have to show up for work every day, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
"The National Enquirer says Bailey book might herald the end of Palin marriage."
ReplyDeleteIt seems like Todd owns Sarah, though she may not yet understand this. If divorce rears its ugly head and they start fighting like cats in a bag, it's unlikely that Sarah would willingly give into Todd in regards to custody of children, ownership of property and division of wealth.
Might hell hath no fury like a First Dude scorned?
Both Sarah and Todd Palin are repulsive individuals whose ability to love is doubtful. Whatever they acquired from their "marriage", it was profitable for both.
ReplyDeleteFrank Bailey is hoping to retain a shred of credibility by shamming a belief in Sarah's pregnancy with Trig. But, by ignoring obvious and plentiful evidence that Palin was not pregnant, Bailey has just made a case that he is idiot (also, too).
Bailey's perception of reality was flawed and remains so today. He'll sell plenty of books, but his "facts" are really just more dribble from a still brain-washed cult follower.
Denise I remember what you were talking about and there was a pretty big deal made about it but as always it was swept under the rug quickly by the McCain/Palin machine with rumors about Obama.
ReplyDeleteNow, as far as I am concerned this also proves that Palin is an unfit mother in my eyes. There may be some nudist here who no problems with nudity but to me you DO NOT walk around half naked in front of your children. She had a grown son! My son would NOT like it if I walked around half naked and would say something about it!
How come Bailey couldn't connect the dots between Sarah's admission that she and Todd didn't have a normal marriage and didn't talk, and her overnight 7-month pregnancy?
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah and Todd weren't a normal couple and they didn't even talk, how likely is it that they had the sex between them necessary to produce Trig?

Perhaps that scene will be included in the movie, Denise.

"HBO is delving into politics once again with TV movie "Game Change," which will examine Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential run.
Julianne Moore will play Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Movie is based on the book of the same name by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin."
If this is true, i can see it
ReplyDeleteThey were smart to go with a known actress. I wanna know who signed up to play the bag of bones
I also think it'd be funny if they cast a porn star to play Meggie Mac. She did mention in her book all the consultants she went to
I still have no hope for this movie. The book was merely an overdramatization on all sides. The authors were shooting for a movie deal

"What kind of mother keeps that kind of secret from their children and her parents? If I knew I was having a DS child, I would want to prepare my other children and I'd want the support of my family. "
ReplyDeleteWell, and Sarah of all people? The most damning part of her story for me is the idea that Sarah of all people, a proven narcissist with an ego the size of Jupiter, allegedly chose NOT to be the center of attention, that Sarah of all people chose NOT to take the opportunity to portray herself as the noblest and bravest preggo on the planet, that Sarah of all people chose NOT to dare the "old boys network" to criticize her for mixing work with special needs parenthood, and on and on.
Please. If there is one thing we've learned from that egomaniac, is that she takes any and all opportunities to elbow everyone else out of the way to screech "look at meeeeeee"! Sarah trying NOT to draw attention to herself? Bwahahahah!
Julianne Moore playing Sarah Palin? Wow, that is flattering to Sarah. There's quite a gap in attractiveness there (in favor of Moore). I wonder what kind of prosthetics they'll use. It was so interesting when Hope Davis played Hillary Clinton in The Special Relationship. She was dead on. Actually, Davis and Moore are friends, what a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteI bet it is bugging Sarah that Moore is older than her. Palin is 47 and Moore is in her 50s. Bottom line, though, she looks way better than Palin no matter her age!
You know the whole towel scene and the walking around in an open robe was kinda gross, but now that Julianne Moore is playing her in HBOs production of Game Change I'm looking forward to those scenes.
ReplyDelete"In one bombshell, Bailey reveals Palin's husband Todd didn't seem to blink an eye when a doctored nude photo of her popped up during her gubernatorial campaign."
ReplyDeleteTodd probably shared her out just like he did Tripp.
I don't mean that as snark.

10:44 AM
Yes I do remember the dressed in a towel bit. It does not sound like a monogamous, virgin when she got married, raised in a staid conservative family kind of woman does it?
And it doesn't sound like Todd was surprised or cared. Or maybe he expected one of them to make a bid for her.
What Nefer at 2:05 said + 1
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about the HBO coming event is the fact that Moore is a liberal. She'll project Palin as she truly is and isn't - where a conservative actress might not have!
ReplyDeleteI suspect Palin will be shown to have lost the election for McCain -and McCain will be reminded AGAIN that he never should have chosen this idiot as his running mate.
Once dead, I suspect he'll be remembered mostly for having picked Palin as his running mate - to his demise. And, today they actually very much dislike each other. You live what you reap, McCain. You asshole!
Oops, Moore is 50, not in her 50s. My bad! I seriously can't wait to see her play Palin.
ReplyDeleteLet's remember that in Game Change, Sarah was hardly in it. More than half the book was just on Obama and Hillary. Sarah was first mentioned on pg 350 ish - out of, what, 400.
ReplyDeleteI want to know who's playing hillary. That person may never work again
You know, if mccain aides were willing to lie and say Sarah was responsible for purchasing her campaign clothes, a notion that was refuted, who knows what else was lied about.
ReplyDeleteHopefully someone will make sure Moore gets a copy of Bailey/Devon/etal's book to study up on in her role.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Sarah had an affair with Bailey cause that picture speaks a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteto 1:36, maybe because Bailey is lying out of his ass

She can't dump Todd but what if Todd had an accident while flying his plane? I remember Curt Menard had a flying accident. I think it was contaminated gas.
@3:16, I wouldn't be surprised if Hope Davis plays Hillary again as she did in HBO's The Special Relationship. Michael Sheen played Tony Blair in 3 movies, including that one, so she'd be in good company.
ReplyDeleteWhat IS going on with publishing of the book? It seems to be having problems getting someone on board, which seems difficult to explain, given the interest.
ReplyDeletePerhaps there are discussions closing on on a contract? Does it not seem unusual to you, Gryphen that they still don't have a likely publisher? Frankly, I am concerned at the possible reasons....
Fer chrissake, now the big scandal is that Sarah walks around her own, secluded house with her robe open?
ReplyDeleteThis is news?
Pathetic.
Did you read the 'take' of palingates? Very plausible scenario, that Palin got paid-off by someone higher-up, so they can do what they always did/wanted to do in Alaska...
ReplyDeleteanon @ 12:26 pm sez:
ReplyDelete"Todd probably shared her out just like he did Tripp."
I would not doubt it a bit.
I think people are jumping to conclusions regarding todd's "parading around in front of the windows" comment. it could easily be one of those things where todd was just fucking with bailey. who knows, but assuming that she's walking around naked in front of her kids is really a stretch. I think todd was full of shit on that, of course I have no proof, but it sounds to me like something he'd make up so others would envy his situation. "yeah dude my hot wife walks around the house naked." we know that the palins love creating and perpetuating their myths.
So, she wants to move to Arizona? Does she know that the unbearable heat will make her age even faster???
ReplyDeleteWell, I believe if the Palins will split, then it will be only over one dead body - mark my words! Because Toad has too much on her, and she is too good to the green mammon!
ReplyDelete3:59, not surprisingly, you missed the point. Robes and windows were open, pics may have been snapped, and the toad didn't care. Try to keep up.
ReplyDeleteRe the NE article, what political career? She's done. Although, considering what Jan Brewer looks like, those good ole boys in Arizona probably still loves them some Sarah. And, also too, I can hardly wait to see who she picks for her next husband if and when. Truly I really would love to see a divorce fight between her and Todd. Wow, I'd buy lots of popcorn stock.
ReplyDeleteOh, one more thing: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FALSE NOISE STUDIO she has installed in her new turreted castle at the dead lake?
ReplyDeleteThat whole fandamily is nuckinfuts, should make for a really good book!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait for this book to be published!
What I saw of the Palin compound, was that one would have to get directly in front of the house to see through the living room windows. That would mean either getting on the grass where the concrete pad is located or from a boat parked directly in front.
ReplyDeleteThe rental house? - nope, it has (had) Todd's infamous 14-ft fence there - but even so, you could only see the side of Sarah's house with only 1 visibile bedroom (?) window - and that is very, very high up.
So unless someone is sitting with a telescope across the lake, nobody would see Sarah parading around opened-robed. Remember too, that windows reflect light, so unless the lighting was perfect, nobody would see anything - unless on a very dark night with the interior house lights on full bright.
To Frank I would say, hope you recover your finanial losses buddy, 'cause the airline job was definitely not worth quitting because of your blind allegiance to Sarah Palin.

ReplyDeleteFrom the moment my narcissist sister-in-law became pregnant NO ONE could upstage her in any gathering. She would place one hand on her belly and look stricken or moan until everyone was looking at her. "Are you okay?" would be asked. "Oh, yes.. don't mind me."

ReplyDeleteWhat IS going on with publishing of the book? It seems to be having problems getting someone on board, which seems difficult to explain, given the interest.
Perhaps there are discussions closing on on a contract? Does it not seem unusual to you, Gryphen that they still don't have a likely publisher? Frankly, I am concerned at the possible reasons....
While the book has details about crazy Sarah, oveall it is poorly written in my opinion. It needs alot of work. Baily comes across as a besotted idiot...without much explanation. Too bad he is so convinced Sarah gave birth to Tri-G. He must be half brain dead to believe she was actually carrying a live fetus in her uterus.Also, wish he stated which hospital he visited her craziness in.
Don't get me wrong, Sarah comes across as crazy and unqualified in his book, but he comes across as a nut for sticking with her. I'd call his book Deaf, Dumb , Blind and Stoopid allegiance to Sarah Palin.
What a trailer trash floozie! Why the hell would she wear a dress that shows her bra and bra straps?
ReplyDeleteanonymous@1:42
ReplyDeleteLooks like $he'll be giving her testimony @ Liberty U this fall, while good old Jerry drools on her shoes.
Could happen, probably would happen, if Falwell were still alive.
From Anchorage Daily News, by SoldierofFortunes "AKDogger...what some dumb kid does is nothing compared to the Palins starting after a mother and her children in 1998...see there is a HUGE trust fund that the mother was NEVER suppose to find out about...so the crimes just kept coming until a specific email was sent...then she paniced and resigned less than 24 hrs later...Palin is going to answer to Uncle Sam about why she committed domestic terrorism on a young family...oh right for the sakes of money folks...lol..some things never change...and some things do and will...or they will be buried...sound familiar...can anyone say I ran I ran I ran away...see Sarah run...right into court!!
ReplyDeleteIn Washington DC folks...lets ask the President about Sarah Palin...betcha its BAD!"
Gryphen, what do you know about that mother, her children, a Trust Fund and the Palin's involvment with same?
Alaska WTF had, a couple of months ago just before their site went down, a rambling commenter with similar theme of a mother, children and a Trust Fund, accusing the Palins, but the details were not clear.
Can you do a feature on this Trust Fund issue?
Gryphen:
ReplyDeleteI suspect Bailey's book won't be published because the "60,000 emails" are legally difficult to disclose if they are captured while serving in government and expensive to defend in a court action if Sarah's files a civil suit.
She can't dump Todd but what if Todd had an accident while flying his plane? I remember Curt Menard had a flying accident. I think it was contaminated gas.
ReplyDelete3:40 PM
____
I think it was contaminated gas too. Does anyone remember the soap operas from the 60's- Dallas and Peyton Place? Palin's are filling the America's infatuation for such drama... sex, crime, politics, power, trailer trash, corruption, unwed pregnancies, rich deceitful corporate types, shotgun weddings, Menard's death, fake pregnancy, with a few decent people thrown in (Mercedes, Monegan, Lyda Greene, etc.)...
I don't really think there's anything newsworthy here- Todd might have once made a passing remark about Sarah walking around with her robe open. Suddenly everyone here has Sarah parading around in her birthday suit, pressing her body up against the window. Guys, chill. An "open robe" is a far cry from naked, and Todd said nothing about her wearing it all over the house in front of anyone. I'm not a Palinbot, but I believe she is a human being, and I'm not going to get up in arms about her walking around her house in an open robe. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, and more to the point, I thought it was already established that the kids DID suspect she was pregnant. Mercede wrote so on her blog. So yes, she didn't tell them until late in the pregnancy, but they suspected long before that.
I'm with ya! Get this book published...
ReplyDeleteBailey looks like Chris Farley with a yalmulke. What is up with that?
ReplyDeleteWow, there are many detractors here speaking ill of Frank Bailey's manuscript. Their comments tend to be full of misspellings, strange grammar and otherwise questionable usages of the English language.
ReplyDeleteIf you people wish to be taken seriously you absolutely must present your arguments in a manner that displays correct grammar and spelling. Otherwise your ideas are ignored by the majority.
If the robe/windows convo did in fact happen, I think it was much more of a Todd being funny scenario. or Todd knowing he's not the only one to see her naked. That would be my guess, the latter. They'd notice if someone were spying right outside and snapping pics. You would have to be incredibly close to see anything. the backyard is huge in depth.
ReplyDeleteSarah's buddy Kristen Cole has also moved to Arizona. Two of the biggest beotches the town has ever known riding off together into a desert sunset warms my Alaskan heart to no end. Adios ya assholes :)
ReplyDelete{giggles}
No one is ever going to trust Frank B again after this, on a professional or personal level
ReplyDeleteAt least Sarah has Todd
Kristan Cole does not live in AZ
ReplyDeleteaw, AKpetmom is having a bad day. Someone go cheer her up. Meanwhile, the Palins had a great day, that ended with dinner out.
ReplyDeleteI did hear that Cole is working in AZ. Seems weird to hear this from one of her acquaintances if it isn't true.

Wow which one are you? I'll start signing my posts if you do...
I seriously doubt the Palins have had a great day in a very long time. I'm sure you've heard the sayin that if mama ain't happy, ain't no one happy. Go blow smoke up someone else's ass.
ReplyDeleteWow, so dinner out is a Palin highlight. Sad. I guess it's better than Taco Bell take-out. Pass the crunch wraps, Juicy.
ReplyDeleteAll y'all getting your panties in a twist cause we're having fun with sarah parading in a ratty bathrobe, just relax. I know, I know, who said anything about ratty? Dunno..who cares.

I don't know about that Sarah. It looks like Todd has been out and about getting his lovin from others.
If Sarah walked around nude or with her robe open and some of Bristol's or Willow's or Track's or Piper's little friends seen her that could get her in trouble, she could be a sex offender?

If they had dinner out it could of been for appearance only. After they got home Sarah went to her floor and Todd to his floor of their house. Would not put that past them to put on a show.
KaJo@12:35PM and others.
ReplyDeleteBefore I read the article, I thought to myself: "Okay, it's not possible that the governor of Alaska is a.) wearing a spaghetti-strap dress to what has to be a black-tie politics event, like she's off to the prom; and b.) ...is that a BRA showing?!" Omigod, it is. Sarah, not a good look for a serious woman. Must as well just put a t-shirt under it.
Distinguished professional women wear different stuff, even the young ones. Do you not read magazines? Are you not in Vogue? Come on.
It looks like it's borrowed. It's one of those shitty black dresses that wants to be a real dress when it grows up.
The proper undergarment is a plain foundation-garment bustier.
10:03 pm says - the palins had a great day and had dinner out....
ReplyDeleteWell Bristol, don't you get tired of take-out from Taco-Bell?
Gryphen, you have sure stirred up the Palinbots and family with this article. They all must be sitting in their jammies at the computer earning their paycheck from Sarah and singing her praises. Hope she pays them well.

Really? I haven't noticed that.
Now the manuscript on the other hand is rife with misspellings, poor sentence structure, split infinitives. Put your energy into hoping the manuscript gets cleaned up 'cause it is pretty bad. The content is good, but the writing is poor.Poor. Poor. Surprising because three people worked on it. Not surprising if Bailey wrote the bulk of it because he comes across as an idiot.
I'd like to read a book by Bailey's wife.
ReplyDeleteWhy is she still with this dooofus? He basically abandoned his family to enable an idiot named Sarah. I hope Bailey apologized long and hard and tried to make up lost time with his children. (Although that is really impossible to recapture).
Well, Twitler parading around the house like that is pretty believable, given that it was reported that she opened the door to her hotel room for staffers during the campaign with nothing on but a towel.
ReplyDeleteAsserting that the emails he has can't be released is bogus (to borrow from the 'queen's english') as the emails were sent to and from private email accounts and not official Alaska email servers. Irony is a bitch sometimes and Palin is a bitch always.
ReplyDeleteExhibitionism and lack of boundaries is just another example of how she has NPD.
ReplyDeleteAKPetmom - the incorrect spelling and grammatical errors shows you who are the Sharia Plan oops I meant sarah palin worshipers.

ReplyDeleteThe story also makes me wonder if there are nude photos of Sarah 'out there' and Todd was afraid one of them had surfaced. Maybe there are even some good videos.

I bet they were swingers. He is too comfortable
with her nudity around other men.
10:03 pm says - "Palins had a great day, that ended with dinner out."
ReplyDeleteIt is a great feeling to have the WHOLE family together and comforting to know you raised them well. My older child will be home for spring break tomorrow and we are all excited to see him! He loves the attention and we love giving it to him.
If she wanders around her house half naked,
ReplyDeleteand wanders in a towel in front of strange
men, why doesn't she ever wear a bathing
suit in public? There are no pics of $P in
a bathing suit since her beauty pageant days,
right?
So glad the Palins went out for dinner. Preparing nutritious home-cooked meals for a family every day is hard work. It's nice when families that can afford to are able to take a break from the usual moose meals and caribou cookin' once in a while.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know what is the hold-up for the Bailey book to be published, but maybe he should check into self-publishing it - maybe as an e-book. There was a story lately of a woman who did just that, and she has made a killing off of it in a short time.
ReplyDelete"Palins had a great day, that ended with dinner out."
ReplyDeleteSo, G, they are running their PR through you, now? First the Iron Dog, now this. Funny!
I bet they went to a Chinese restaurant and ordered the "Happy Family"!
Anon@3:11
ReplyDeleteIn the book, Bailey's wife comes across as the serious Holy Roller of the bunch, verging on the creepy… always ready with a mouthful of God in praise of Saint Sarah. Yeech.
Without making it a major point, Bailey pretty much indicates that Sarah's religiosity was sporadic at best, though.
Maybe the wife just had her own self-delusional rationalization deal going on… After all, what was a "good Christian man" like Frank doing spending so much time away from his family if Sarah were just another politician (or worse) and NOT The Anointed One? QED, she must be The Anointed One! Praise the Lord!
anon@10:31
ReplyDeleteI can't see that anything in the book would tell either Sarah or Todd anything they didn't already know about each other. It sounds to me as though they largely have had separate lives, and that that will continue.
I'm in the camp that now assumes they were never officially married, given that Sarah lies 9 times out of 9. The documentation processes in Alaska seem to be as lax as they are secretive, so who would be the wiser? I think Todd has pretty much known Screech was nuts from the get-go and has just been going along for the ride.
