Sarah Palin is a galvanizing political force in America’s deepening cultural rift. While her missteps are lambasted by critics and satirists, her base of support only grows. After her defeat as a Vice Presidential candidate and her resignation as Alaska’s governor, she retains a red-hot following stoked by her bestselling book Going Rogue: An American Life and the TV series Sarah Palin’s Alaska . She assiduously avoids taking questions from reporters, preferring to communicate with her fans via Facebook and Twitter. Filmmaker Nick Broomfield has never been fazed by uncooperative subjects, conducting his pursuits like a vigilante armed with a boom pole, frequently backed by his collaborator Joan Churchill behind the camera. His past documentary targets include Margaret Thatcher, Courtney Love and Heidi Fleiss. When headline makers block his access, he brings them down to a human scale by exploring their milieu.
For Sarah Palin – You Betcha!, that means travelling to Alaska. Broomfield makes several trips to interview Palin’s parents, neighbours and former colleagues. They trace her values to her upbringing in the Pentecostal faith. One memorable archival clip shows a church ceremony in which she is being exorcised of witches. An Alaskan pastor characterizes her faith as “apocalyptic Christian” and elaborates, “She has no hesitancy to use violence against evil...Until you understand that, I don’t think you understand Sarah Palin.” Can she rise to a higher office? Several former allies describe Palin throwing them “under the bus” when they got in the way of her ambition. John McCain’s senior strategist tells Broomfield that she’s “deeply dishonest,” describing her aspiration to be President as “spine-chilling.”
Broomfield brings a wry humour to his quest, but also draws out the serious implications of Palin’s political future. Is this worthy of your concern? You betcha.
Showtimes are listed as:
Sunday September 11 AMC 7 7:00pm
Monday September 12 AMC 6 2:30pm
Sunday September 18 AMC 6 10:45am
I am still looking forward to any reviews that might be provided by any of you IM visitors who might be in the area during these showtimes in September.
I will gladly give you a byline, or respect your anonymity if that is what you prefer.
According to Nick I should have a DVD of the film arriving sometime in the near future, and I will likely provide my own review as well. However will not be able to gauge audience reaction by watching a DVD at home.
P.S. Remember Nick is still asking for donations to Kickstarter to help distribute the film, and it looks like he is almost halfway there with only 11 more days to go.

ReplyDeleteFirst, I don't think IM readers are entitled to anything. It's Gryph's blog and he can do whatever he wants. What he's been doing so far seems to be working pretty well, as far as I can see.
Second, I'm not concerned at all. In fact, I'm encouraged. It shows that Gryph is taking his time - reading, digesting, analyzing. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some major bombshell's contained in MA's info and he'll need time to figure out how to proceed. Especially if there are other people involved. Gryph has always been great about not doing anything that would harm innocent people. If there are new names being presented, he'll need to do research to see who they are and what role they play. Patience, Grasshopper. Do you want instant gratification from 'shoot from the hip' responses, or quality investigative reporting?
An example of what a DS child of loving parents can achieve.

So much love! And a community that has clearly offered unfailing support for the child and her family -- not one that feels it must live in fear of the parents.
I'm sorry the Palins didn't embrace Trig from the beginning as a unique human being and nurture his strengths and help him overcome correctable/treatable weaknesses.
Sarah Palin is a waste of skin! I hope Trig has strong caregivers who will help him get used to his glasses and hearing aids and help him with the therapy he needs.
No matter who gave birth to him, this is a tragic story of neglect.
Thanks Me Again for what you are doing!
MeAgain, sorry if someone confused me with you, I attached my name to my post. A lot of people here already know my story, and the insurance nightmare we are in. I am not critically ill, however if untreated, and without necessary surgeries it could be deadly. Sorry about the mix-up. Prayers are nice, a public option would be better, Sarah Palin to pay for what havoc she has already caused would be the best. (that's where you come in, MeAgain) =)
ReplyDeleteAnswer me this: how many times in all her speaking engagements has she brought more than 2 people? Seriously, how many times? She traveled alone to Vegas before, she's taken just one kid, she's been accompanied by Todd only.
ReplyDelete>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Exactly! She's off traveling here and there and who is taking care of that precious toddler Trig? Who is bonding with him when his mother is away? Making sure he gets therapy? Seeing that he reaches his full potential? Some mother she is!
@BK
ReplyDelete$arah always has scads of people with her when she's traveling, with the exception of when $he went to Texas (wild ride). $he only took Todd.
Oh, You-Who-Knows-What-They-Did-Or-Didn't-Have-For-Breakfast, why was that?
And, i'm So curious as to what was their dog's name. You know, the 'puppy' $he talked about in her redacted emails. (What's that you say? They never HAD a dog?)
My hair falls out when I have stress meeting deadlines, drink too much coffee and eat too many pastries. I can surely see SP with bald patches, the way she takes care of herself, and the stress of covering up her incessant lying, which isn't what followers of God do. = The bible says: Satan is the Father of the Lie.

Hey, Sarah, btw, you have bigger issues right now then an anonymous commenter on a blog that is outside the realm of the MSM (but keep doing what you be doing G) and your menopause hair loss. Check out Huffington Post...one of your biggest benefactors is in TROUBLE and there ain't no way they will be bankrolling the teabaggers anymore and giving you the freedom to spew your hateful bullshit.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when "trolls" are the mature ones in the conversation.
ReplyDeleteIf Gryphen formally defends this anonymous creature, his own credibilty goes WAY down.
ReplyDeleteThe only people who actually care about Trig et al are the people who care enough to comment on her facebook, "aw your family is beautiful, I'm glad you're al so happy."
ReplyDeleteTrashing people when you don't know them is NOT caring about Trig's wellbing. It's the opposite.
Besides the homecoming queen today at huffpo, there is this adorable blog about a DS baby:
ReplyDeletehttp://hang-on-little-tomato.blogspot.com/
THAT is a much-loved baby - NOT TriG who is only an unfortunate prop for his 'family'!
"Gryph has always been great about not doing anything that would harm innocent people."
ReplyDeleteReally? Because spreading a lie about a girl being pregnant when she was not is pretty harmful no?
Spreading lies about other kids schooling is also harmful no?
"Do you want instant gratification from 'shoot from the hip' responses, or quality investigative reporting?"
Are you stupid? 85% of IM is shoot from the hip reporting. This is the one blog that reports on superficial, usually inaccurate hollywood stories. This is the one blog where the blogger has admitted to purposefully manipulating his subjects to create his desired outcome.
I am not completely discrediting Gryphen, as SOME of his blog posts are accurate. But he cannot say ALL are.

We used to play a game with our kids for finding things. I'm sure you know it. When someone gets close, they're getting hotter. Judging by the number of trolls buzzing, G and MA are HOT. They seem very impatient and agitated. With so many irons in the fire and a life to live, I'm sure that they'll just have to wait for upcoming IM revelations.

ReplyDeleteWell, the black lab that was in SPA would be about the same age as a lab mentioned in those emails wouldn't it?

You sound like one of the Palin girls trying to disguise herself by throwing in a few big words by using a thesaurus ap.
Betsy S,
ReplyDeleteYou are an idiot. I am not Gryphen. Gryphen is not me. I am not Media Insider. I am not "Wendy The Waitress" and do not even know who that is. I am not the anonymous healthcare worker.
Think about what a stupid accusation it is that Gryphen is me-- I have continually delayed sending Gryphen the material I got together for him because of being swamped with work, then a short term of being scared spitless about Gryphen possibly having been hacked, and so on. As such, many patrons of IM have gotten very impatient waiting on "the goods". Even today, I have spent too much time reading comments on other posts and have slacked off on emailing Gryphen. But I AM working on it and have been chipping away. And in the meantime I have been dropping just enough bits and bobs here to make Sarah livid--always a plus.
But my point is...if Gryphen was me...he'd likely have been a little zippier than I am.
"BK"...Bristol you dippy girl. You and your mother both admitted reading here yesterday--NOT that there was one person here who didn't know that. Saying "the Palins don't read here" right on the heels of what was painfully obviously YOU saying "I'm a friend of Bristol's and she told me to come here..." makes you look even dumber than your mother. You'd think it's not even possible, but there you go.
Now, don't you need to practice your Good Daughter act for your mother's last hurrah...or check an EPT or something?

The fact that some anonymous moron with a hateful agenda garners so much attention on a super old thread is quite possibly THE most hilarious thing I have ever encountered. It's plain as day this person LOVES messing with gullible and intellectually challenges pinheads.

It's laugh out loud funny imagining Bristol refreshing this thread every few minutes, flying into a fury (the nut doesn't fall far from the tree) and typing as fast as one possibly can with two fingers (grammar and spelling be damned) her virtual hissed retort to the h8ters. Guess what, Sarah, Jr... we aren't buying what you're selling, girrrlfriend. Your attempts to defend and/or deflect are cellophane.
ReplyDeleteNobody is making fun of Trig. They're making fun of you, Bristol. You and your insane mother.
Whether Me Again is legit is almost* beside the point. The very idea of Me Again has the idiot snowbilly floozies posting frantically without thinking, re-reading or spell checking and is flippin' entertaining.
*I did say "almost" beside the point... because the posts from Me Again are riveting. Great writing and fascinating information. She sure does sound like the "rill dill" to me!
And does anyone really think Gryphen isn't aware of each and every post from Me Again? Seriously.
We all post here anonymously, having watched the Palin carnage since she made her debut. I am not sure what fear is even valid. I look forward when we all "step into the light of day". For me, I am the mother of five. I never expected such a brood, but a late life pregnancy brought twins.
ReplyDeleteIt has never been easy, but, at times, I have had to cut back on my career. And, other times, when necessary, I have had to stop any ambitions I might have wished for myself to nurture my "team".
Lest you believe I am uneducated, I have a first and second bachelor's, two graduate degrees, and have had to turn back a more advanced degree because we have two children in college. My money,what we have left of it, is meant to launch them in the world.
I wish the Palin children could only envision a future for themselves that would come from an emerging passion on what light they could shed to the world. Spending their lives defending their mother, who is not capable of loving them in return is a hard road.
I had such a mother. I called her out, many a day. And her life ended quite lonely. Take it from me, Palin girls, start to take care of yourselves. You are vital, beautiful young women. Every post or tweet that you make on behalf of your mother, takes the possibility from what you were made to be.
Step back, and please recognize that, somewhere, out there, there is a place where you can be not only loved, but, be allowed to find your way, YOUR way,
Mature people don't personally attack people they don't know and assume things they have no firsthand insight into.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning "team palin", "team me again", or "team gryphen".
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can see, only one has claimed to be infallible.
Questions are good. They have brought the whole palin myth some light.
Mature people don't cut and paste the same nonsense over and over. I keep trying to imagine John Edwards or even Weiner lurking on the blogs before their stories broke and posting "be mature" because "you don't really know them" so "you can't really comment about them." But I can't imagine it.
ReplyDeletePay close attention to how those scandals turned out. You can't turn the tide by your juvenile remarks.

Yup, that's what we say every time Sarah shows up on Faux Noise spouting her anti-Obama bullshit and pretending she has firsthand insight into foreign policy, economics, journalism, integrity, etc.

This is the best you can come up with? REALLY? Sarah has spent a bunch of time in the same states where Trig spends a bunch of time, therefore she isn't neglecting him? Why do you even bother posting something this preposterous? This must be April; you're going for the paycheck and obviously you don't care about actually "refudiating" any claims of neglect. All this comment does is highlight the utter lack of ANY contact between Sarah and Trig.

And finally to MeAgain: I hope, HOPE that EPT comment was just a joke, not a hint that Bristol has gotten herself knocked up YET AGAIN! Isn't she tired of the deception and hassle of having to cover up a pregnancy, concoct and maintain cover stories, and not just be what she is--a trampy, uneducated, lazy single mom with multiple baby daddies?

So there is photographic evidence to prove what Gryphen said but you just expect your saying it's not true will just make everyone ignore what's right in front of their eyes??
What is with you palin women??
Hi MeAgain, You go girl! I love your tidbits and little hints dropped just so. You must really be getting to the Palins to promote such a response. I appreciate that you came forward, and I appreciate the time and emotions that must be involved in what you are doing. It's the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks, too, to Gryphen for keeping this little corner. We'll be glad to read whatever you put together when the time is right. I am sure that you will also want to protect yourself. Joe McGinniss wasn't kidding when he described Sarah's Hounds of Hell. The only way that she could prove him wrong would be to call off the dogs.

But you see, little troll, we here at IM have developed pretty precise TROLL RADAR so it's just not gonna fly. That you would even think that such a preposterous waste of Gryphen's time is in the realm of possibility, you are truly delusional. But then that is the point isn't it. You are.

MeAgain, in case you didn't know: Wendy Waitress was someone who came along, oh maybe 6-8 months ago I think, and shared an encounter she had had with Sarah Palin while serving her at a spa restaurant in AZ - she described very unflattering behavior on Sarah's part; surprise, surprise. I think that was it...
ReplyDeleteWell anyway, people jumped all over this poor soul, someone who had never before risked wading into our little world here, and basically chased her away. They went nuts trying to prove there were no 4-star spa restaurants in AZ, as she claimed, or some such nonsense. They called her a troll and a liar, someone who had come here only to mess with us (as if that's the end of the world).
For me, I couldn't tell if the challengers might really be pro-Palinistas who were simply trying to sabotage her reports and potential additional revelations, or if they might even be these people who purportedly are on our side but have frequently stirred up trouble as much as anything. Don't know if that might be weird competitive inter-blog stuff, or sheer paranoia, either - or else if something more sinister is at work there.
I have often wondered - and stated - that there may be some who have been familiar names or voices from the beginning ('08), but have all along not been truly sincere or "friendly", shall we say. Moles, I guess might be one way to describe them. Not real sure they are around, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were. I realize that sounds highly paranoid in itself, but really anything is possible in our anonymous realm. Some posters like to claim superiority because they use an "identifying" moniker; I see it differently.
The real Wendy Waitress hooplah occurred, however, once a huge debate broke out about whether or not it was smart to put every single seemingly knowledgeable (but anonymous) poster through the third degree, as they have done here to you (they never learn!). Wendy Waitress seemed sincerely taken aback and hurt, and left in a huff. I couldn't blame her. She didn't see it coming at all, and to me she sounded perfectly legit.
It has always seemed that the tolerance for anonymity has been designed to cast as wide a net - and at least a semblance of a welcome - as possible. Why deter people from posting by insisting they identify themselves? Preaching to the choir, I know. I do believe that people pressing for identities would tend to be Palin people, for the obvious reasons. Not all folks would have special leverage or insurance with her as you seem to.
So that's the Wendy Waitress reference, if you were wondering.
Btw, you WERE Anon238 originally, right? And then when you wrote, "Me Again" we all took that up as your handle. Or were there 2 different posters? Don't have to answer that if you don't want. Just trying to sort things out.
LOTS of goodies to see here!

I find it quite interesting that MeAgain dangles the hint about Sarah's REAL HAIR.
ReplyDeleteI remember during the 2008 campaign or shortly after, somebody let slip that Sarah was losing her hair, it may have even been her Beehive hair person...and then they had to quickly walk it back.
I have suspected that Sarah's horrific diet, the drugs, both legal and illegal, the stress of having to cover for her lies and hoaxes, the diminished popularity, the gradual shunning she is experiencing, as well as menopause and aging are ALL contributers to the baldness/patchiness that Sarah sports on her head.
She once had luxurious, lustrous, thick, gorgeous hair as seen in photos in the past, but I think those days are over, forever.
That's why we're seeing the parade of wigs or what look like roadkill showing up on her head when she ventures into the public eye.
So what MeAgain is eluding to is only confirming what I've been suspicious of for a long, long time. Thanks MeAgain!
So, there you have it...former beauty queen with the pancake breasts, the patchy head, the cottage cheese thighs, the screechy voice, the veiny, clawlike hands, the sweaty body, the gunky, funky toes...and the empty black heart and broken, sold out soul.
Yeah, she's STILL GOT IT!
And, can I just say WTF? EPT test? Is she pregnant AGAIN? Oh good lord, if this is true, then I really did just throw up in my mouth a little. I will wait to see if this is fleshed out more in the comments.
She's about to hit the airwaves with that reality show isn't she? If it even makes the air. If so, and she is, it will become very obvious because there is a specific way that scenes are shot ABOVE THE WAIST, from the back, that is used to disguise a pregnancy. They do it all the time with actresses that get pregnant during a regular series. So watch for that. If you never see her full body, full on from the side, or top to bottom, in something forth fitting, she could be pregnant. If she's shot wearing a non typical wardrobe (which for Bristol is hoodies and jeans) such as loose flowy shirts or dresses, she could be pregnant. If she's shot always standing behind a table or counter or sitting down behind something, or the shot has more focus on the face/head/shoulders (to avoid seeing the enlarged boobs), then they are covering for her burgeoning belly and that chick is pregnant...AGAIN! In the public eye.
Or she follows mama's footsteps and makes a quick trip to the nearest 'whiteout' center.

It makes me sad that Trig was put in the care of a mother who treated him like a prop. It could have been so much different. Here is an example of awesome love and a special needs child:

MeAgain, you know how to get the Palin family upset. Been a long time reader of this and other blogs and have enjoyed the work of Gryphen and Bree Palin. I haven't seen any comments from Barb Dwyer for a while, but enjoyed her posts.
ReplyDeleteA little MeAgain makes my day.
Yay - JayKen Knotstirred's here - now the party can really start!
ReplyDeleteMe Again,
ReplyDeletePlease don't be discouraged. It is obvious that Sarah is afraid of the info that you have. I was taught that when someone can't do any harm to you... you ignore them. They either never learned that lesson or are scared shitless of you.
The amount of trolls on this thread alone make me wonder what nerve you have hit. And what nerve you can REALLY hit! How long has Gryphen had this site and they all come out now?
I am not going to have blind faith in you, but I do have faith that the truth will come out about everything Palin... eventually.
And to all the trolls(the palins) You will never stop the truth... it will always be brought into the light. God himself may bring it to light if he/she/it exists.
Good luck to all the Palin morons... it is over for you, I can smell it!!!
anon@924: I agree, absolutely. I'm convinced that, along with the dolts we laugh at, there are trolls whose IQs are well into triple digits, and their long-time mission here has been to kick up dust when people get too close to the truth.

"Mature people don't personally attack people they don't know and assume things they have no firsthand insight into."
ReplyDeleteExactly. Which is why I was so incredibly offended when Sarah Palin started talking about a "Real America", and I wasn't part of it. Impugning the patriotism of more than half the people in the country because they live in cities or vote Democratic or have dark skin? Yeah, that's really mature.
Do ask yourselves this: if a person is willing to lie about how many kids another person has with her on the job (in LA), what else would they feel comfortable lying about?
ReplyDeleteMy answer: They have no issues lying about anything at all.
Do you realize how many people the Palins come into contact with on a daily basis? How many friends visit? How many people who've been around since before 08?
While Wasilla doesn't seem to be able to keep secret, and it appears Sarah doesn't make confidentiality agreements and payoffs a practice as other politicians do, if there were multiple babies for Trig, or a second child for Bristol, it would NOT be a secret.
Do you know how many people were in the Palin house throughout 2009? Family is always there. Friends are always there. Gryphen wrote his two babies post in Feb 2010, right? Yet he hasn't mentioned this source again. I hate troublemakers and bored people.
There's so much life to live, especially in AK. Why make your life about spreading lies about others?

what does this mean? HUH
If you'd like to see Sarah's real hair, look at that DWTS picture from this past May. Look at the NH speech pics. Watch SPA. She obviously only wears attachment pieces on some interviews. Maybe it's between salon visits. I had a teacher who wore different, but similar, wigs when she couldn't get to the salon for her monthly dye job.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:15, how did she attack Michelle's parenting and other things? She commented that she personally didn't wish to stop eating smores because of some woman's comments.
ReplyDeleteYou do realize Sarah has complicated the Obamas as people.
Criticizing Pres Obama as a President is justified, as that's his job. She doesn't start vicious lies.
Why must you continue to to ignore his lies? That's pretty damaging to you no?

"I wish people would remember that before they continue to destroy lives in the eyes of the 300 people who read the blogs."
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. I thought IM made them stronger, even though they don't read it. But you are concerned about a blog that you GUESS has 300 people and that they are being "destroyed", whatever that means, in the eyes of those 300 who already weren't warm and fuzzy about Sarah? What part of that makes sense?
Here's some advice. Education is your friend but it takes ambition and hard work. If you have these qualities, you would be doing yourself a huge favor by focusing on advancing your schooling.
This is more fun than watching the Home Shopping Network.
ReplyDelete"If you'd like to see Sarah's real hair, .... Look at the NH speech pics."
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. I saw those pictures. Her hair was blood red. That was real? She looked like Cruella DeVille on stilts!
Still waiting for you to prove that Sarah is Trig's birth mom.
" I hate ... bored people. There's so much life to live, especially in AK. Why make your life about spreading lies about others?"
ReplyDeleteWhy are you here? Really? If we are just 300 bored people (I'm assuming you're the same person that said there are only 300 people here), and you're not a bored person and there is so much to do in AK, why are you "making your life about" addressing blogs? Since everything here is just lies anyway there should be no worries that a little dead thread on a defunct blog could ever "destroy" anyone, right?
The troll brigade has been hard at work over the weekend. Lots of laughs for IM regulars. Phew, wiping tears from my eyes, lol
ReplyDeleteBTW the freak show that is glenn beck and ole what's her name will be in the STL MO area on Oct 7th. Will I be the mean girl waiting for Gertie Grifter? I'll never tell!
I wonder if she'll be staying at the Four Seasons or the Chase or the Hyatt Regency or the Millennium or Lumiere Place, which has a casino. Hey Gertie, why not try your hand at games of chance since you love to gamble with OTHER people's lives and money? You betcha!

Anon @ 9:24 and 10:33, Good description of what happened with Wendy Waitress. She entered here innocently enough, described how Sarah had stiffed her on a tip and order chicken fingers at a four- or five-star restaurant. Said she had learned of IM from Sarah herself, who was bitching about Gryphen. ... THEN she got TAKEN DOWN by whatever, trolls, moles, even those who are just genuinely skeptical.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly about the timing, this was right around the time that Wholly Mary had come on the blogs with what sounded at first to be real background info. and then turned into--I don't know what, attacks on the forum. It was really strange and his or her comments got really icky fast. I think everyone was a little rattled.
What was great was when Wendy Waitress said basically "Fuck All Y'all" who don't believe me (much like MA has said) but sadly she never came back.
As for moles, I do believe there are a few, one who has a "phd" on some days and another whom MA has called out @rubbernecking, who I can't quite figure out if he or she is just OCD or actually a atypically intelligent troll.
One last comment, I was anonymous on this and other blogs for a very, very long time and only recently adopted a moniker (I use a different one on another site) because people get so frickin testy and you can't really tell their intentions that I just didn't want to be chased around or bothered.

BWAHAHAHA. That mangled English has Palin DNA written all over it :)
Some comments above imply close acquaintance with the Palin family. Please elaborate on the relationship. Are you close enough to be friends for years and years? Do you have photos of Sarah Palin during her previous 6 pregnancies? Was she always a slim, tight-abs mother-to-be? Do you find it curious that all the Palin friends have not scurried to web with such photos.
ReplyDeleteSo many busy defenders of Sarah Palin but no evidence of those tight-abs through the years. It just astounds me. Maybe I'm just too mature to understand.
You do realize Sarah has complicated the Obamas as people.
ReplyDeleteWhat does this mean? Anyone? Bueller?
Criticizing Pres Obama as a President is justified, as that's his job. She doesn't start vicious lies.
"Death panels." "Pallin' around with terrorists." Sarah says our country is no longer exceptional. She supported Trump's ridiculous birth certificate vendetta when President Obama had already presented a valid certified birth certificate (and then presented a second one.) Do you want me to continue?
She can easily prove the pregnancy was real, if it was. Instead she pays you (or comes herself) to say people are just being meanies to her. And not mature. And, you know, all the other stuff.
Anon @ 10:33, thanks for the validation. The over-reaching aggression displayed by some of these familiar names/voices, folks who on other days act friendly and committed to this effort, has always been the red flag for me. The way they used rather innocent blog thread participants was appalling, also.
ReplyDeleteVery, very controlling individuals. Like strict schoolmarms or something, almost comical really. Some of them scattered at various cross roads and show up elsewhere, but they do come around here still. I believe they avoid Regina's for the most part. (That Brooklyn character is not a mole, imo - just a weird Sarah fan or perhaps paid, I don't know. If so, she does a terrible job, haha.)
I go with my gut many times, which is not to say that my judgement is infallible, but it serves me pretty well generally.
It's so easy to feel confused often, but on the other hand it's all so fascinating. I have always had faith that many of the truths about this family will eventually see the light of day, on a larger scale, and so the day-in-day-out combat that takes place on Gryphen's threads or other places will all be put into perspective, ultimately.
The mole thing is a story unto itself, I think, but in the end I don't really care. People who do that sort of stuff do tend to skulk away when the party's over. They just have to live with themselves.
Like Dick Cheney, trying desperately to revise his place in history. Not a chance.
Yeah, she's "complicated" the Obamas alright. LMAO
ReplyDeletePS My particular reason for sticking with plain old "Anonymous" is because I have found that certain posters seem intent on tracking other posters. Sometimes it may simply be a wish to be able to carry on a dialogue, but to me it seems the more aggressive posters might possibly be moles and so they want to home in and push back. My "voice" and writing style may be perfectly evident, but at least using Anonymous makes it more difficult for moles to train their hyper-vigilant efforts on the likes of someone like me. (No one, in other words!) All the Anons keep it just confusing enough ;-).
ReplyDeleteHey Jaye, I'm also in St. Louis. Perhaps I'll see you there. I'm sure Sarah would appreciate a warm welcome from some longtime IM readers!

ReplyDeleteall right which of you is the jokester posting as "Lou Meagin" on Bristol's FB page asking who the dark haired kid is? lol
ReplyDeleteWhen did parenting become a part-time job?
ReplyDeleteI keep reading how Trig and Sarah spend time together, like a visitor/grandparent/family member...why aren't they together all day, all the time.
The only time my child and I were/are ever apart is when I am at work and he's at school...now as he got older his school activities, playing with his friends meant we were apart but we sleep in the same home every night.
My child has some special needs, and he has had every therapy, doctor and help he needs..including online schooling when he had mono so despite his illness (which was wicked bad) he was able to stay on track to graduate with his class.
So every post of how Sarah & Trig are in contact makes me sad for him, all her kids really..I willingly gave up my "life" to raise my child when death made me a single parent.
I wonder what these kids would have been like if they had a parent who gave a shit about them

Personally, i think MeAgain (a/k/a Anon238, etc.) is purging like a 'red-knuckled $arah' because
a) It satisfies his/her moral compass;
b) It adds weight to the 21-man 'pile-on' (reps and dems) and furthers the efforts of Gryphen, Moore, Devon, Orr, Bailey, Dunn, McGinnis, etc.;
c) As an added benefit, it brings the SHILLS and TROLLS (two different motivations ~ one's paid and one ain't) to the forefront as a window into the mind of Team$arah.
PS: Only ONCE did i have to tell my then-16-year-old daughter that i would slap her mouth into next Saturday if she used the word 'immature' one more time.
I've boggled at all the travel, with Trig clearly not in tow. I travel for work; even through my kids' teen years I kept trips as short and few as possible. And I didn't have a special needs' kid. I'd like to see a tally of the travel Palin has done since 2008. Presumably her travels were a matter of public record before she became a half-term governor?

Bless you, BWS, for being such a good parent in the face of your personal tragedy. Hey, just imagine what you could do for your child with the money and advantages that Sarah has...I bet YOU wouldn't have blown it all on Naughty Monkey shoes :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Sarah...why again is it that neither Track nor Bristol have even attempted college? Can't afford it?
I look forward to reading "meagain" because of the fact she gets under Sarah's thin skin and I believe she's the real deal! Keep on posting. I'm waiting for a big time melt down coming from the idiot named Sarah Palin. Oh and Sarah you'll never be the "flavor of the week" unless you announce but I think the GOP is stopping you. I wonder what kind of dirt they have on you...you lying shank!
ReplyDeleteAll right, "Lou Meagain"...fess! We want to know who our ballsy comedian is! (it's not me, I swear!)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I was joking when I said to Bristol "don't you have an EPT to check". Although circumstances being what they have been, I'd level 50/50 odds that Bristol is checking an EPT on any given day.
To the poster that did those collages...holy moses, I can't believe "the Trigs" look SO different from each other. How on earth did people not see this en masse?
I'm reminded of the Palin's 2008 Christmas card. There was a photo of Trig on the front, in a gift box. He's holding a giant bow in front of his face. At first I thought "oh, cute...babies always seem more interested in the bows and wrapping than the gifts". Now? I'm wondering why the better part of his face is obscured.
The more I know, the more I WISH I knew.
Sarah, where the hell did these children come from?
And while I'm asking questions...why did Van Flein leave the state within forty-eight hours of asking you if you'd issue definitive evidence that you gave birth to Trig?
Why did you "go apeshit" when he asked you to sign a release so he could talk to CBJ? And why didn't CBJ, your "longtime family friend" not return any of his calls when he decided to contact her anyway?
Inquiring minds want to know...baldy*.

I believe you are posting here, Bristol, so I want to speak to you.
ReplyDeleteIf you were pregnant in late 2007 and early 2008 and gave that child up for adoption, have you now figured out what your mother did?
Look, there are hotheads on these blogs and the comments get nasty. In my opinion it all stems from anger over such an unqualified candidate being put forward for the vice presidency. Some of it is justified, imo, and some of it is inexcusable.
But I want to say this, and I hope you read it:
If we are right, and the rumor that your mother stole your child from you is true, then my heart goes out to you. Your life is insane. It is NOT normal. You have been forced to live a massive lie, and it's not right of your mother to do that to you.
You defend her ruthlessly - understandably. But the sad truth is that it is not your job. It's your mother's job to protect you and defend you. It's completely unfair what she's asked of you.
I am not saying this to trick you into revealing the truth about her. I do not think you should, because you are completely caught in the middle. And anyway, it's not necessary because the truth is going to come out regardless of what you do.
But I just want to tell you - since I think there's a chance you will read this - to find a good therapist and get the hell away from your family. It doesn't have to be like this. You have a right to your own life and your own truth.
I will never forget the first picture I saw of you - holding Trig while your mother accepted the VP nomination. You were so young and pretty and you looked utterly terrified. You've gotten good at hiding that now, but before you became the public figure you are - caught up in celebrity non-reality - you were a scared girl who needed her mom's support, and you had a mom who was totally unable to give it to you.
There is another life possible for you, Bristol. For what it's worth.
If anyone knows CBJ's email address, please send her a link to MeAgain's most recent comment. She might have no idea that all these questions about her are out there.
ReplyDeleteIf I were her I would want to get out ahead of this. Maybe she will voluntarily come clean.
LOL..."Baldy"!
ReplyDeleteI want to thank the person who posted the link to that flicker account. It was quite intriquing to see how many different Trigs have been used. Sarah obviously thinks that all DS kids look alike.
But I just want to tell you - since I think there's a chance you will read this - to find a good therapist and get the hell away from your family. It doesn't have to be like this. You have a right to your own life and your own truth.
ReplyDeleteThis is good advice, Bristol. I feel for you, too, and I don't care if you never tell your secrets. I would just add that you should also get your own attorney -- one outside of Alaska. You have rights. You matter, separate from your mom.
Rationalist, what a great post! What you describe, if it is true, sounds like an emotional form of Child Abuse. There don't have to be physical signs. It could be that constant sinking feeling of living a lie, the same way that other abused kids cover up for the addicted parent, for example. Poor Bristol. Her mother begged her to adopt her baby, and when Bristol didn't agree, Sarah just took the kid by claiming that she (Sarah) was pregnant. Sarah rolls over people like a ten ton truck. What could a young, frightened teen aged girl do?
ReplyDeleteI agree, that picture of Bristol and Levi tenderly holding and kissing Trig at the 2008 convention is so revealing. The staged photos of Sarah, Todd and a baby don't come close to that same emotion.
I can see Bristol so angry at having her baby taken from her. She knew how important appearance was to her political mother, so she did the one thing that would hurt Sarah's public image. Bristol got pregnant again; that will show Sarah. What a family, worse than Mommy Dearest.Om return, Sarah put Bristol on the national stage for one and all to see. The way that people in this family turn on each other with the motive of hatred reminds me of the fictional couple in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff?"
Bristol has been running a great extortion game with Sarah, and Sarah has been paying hush money. Now, Willow has an expensive car, too. We can just smell the nastiness, judging from the troll comments here. If Sarah's shelf life is reaching its "Sell By" date, then so is Bristol's. Once Sarah's star starts to fade, Bristol's will,too.
I'm starting to think Me Again and all the Bristol, Sarah, Willow posts are the same person.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ 12:26 Van Flein wasn't stupid, he saw the writing on the wall and wasn't going down with Palin for her lies about Trig. He either read something or she said something that raised a big red flag for Van Flein to suddenly be asking questions of CBJ. Remember Palin's speech in which she said Trig was born in Anchorage, directly contradicting what she had been saying for two years regarding Trig being born at MatSu which is in Palmer? Then there was the change in what stage of her "pregnancy" Trig was born. After saying he was born when she was allegedly 8 mos. pregnant, she changed the timeline to 7.5 mos pregnant. Mothers do not forget these things no matter how many children they have. In fact, my aunt who was the mother of 8, whose first child was born with Down Syndrome when she was 21 years old, still recalled the details and particulars of each birth, including the time at which each of her children was born.
ReplyDeleteVan Flein got out at the right time. Sarah will bring anyone down with her that she can because no matter what happens, she doesn't care who she hurts, including her own children.
MeAgain, When Sarah decides she isn't running, she might get a job singing with the Baldknobbers in Branson, MO. Sarah, you might have them transplant some of your skanky pubes to your head.
ReplyDeleteLove you MeAgain for all your little tidbits.
Re: Van Flea and MeAgain's post about it...
ReplyDeleteI've been reading IM since just a bit after the 2008 election -- I know, Bristol/Willow, I'm a LOSER -- but that interview/impromptu interview that Gryph did with the lawyer has stayed with me...Remember, Van Flea said that Sarah released a birth certificate...and Gryphen informed him that she hadn't...and Van Flea said, Oh...or something along the lines...Me thinks, perhaps, that this, perhaps, planted a seed of doubt in Herr Flea's mind??? Did he, perhaps, attempt to do his own investigation???

"You do realize Sarah has complicated the Obamas as people."
ReplyDeletewtf does this even mean? gotta love them trolls - even if they are challenged in the communication department!
this blog, gryphen, and me again, are causing me to enjoy this monday way more that I should!!
12:32 PM says some agonizingly true statements to you, Bristol. I wish you and Levi would both understand...any type of "agreement" or "contract" you may have signed are completely invalid because you were minors. And even if you were not--do you honestly think your mother would pursue civil penalties against you and risk exposing even more of her dirt?
ReplyDeleteI know I tend to bring the snark on you Bristol but it's only because it drives me crazy that you post under all these made up names, not even trying to make your comments sound different...it's insulting to the people who read here. None of them are stupid and most of them have enough life experience to know the look in your eyes as you tenderly cradled Trig before an international audience at the RNC. Most of them had the same look in their eyes when they proudly held their own adorable new babies.
Are you not just plain TIRED, Bristol? Don't you want to be Bristol Palin, good mother, devoted friend, hard worker...and not JUST Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's Daughter? Because right now, that is all you are.
Anonymous 12:35 PM,
If you trust any one thing I say more than anything else, let it be this: Cathy Baldwin Johnson is FULLY AWARE of the many questions people have wanted her to answer for so long.
I myself wrote her and begged her to do just ONE thing--issue a statement saying she agreed with the ACOG's guidelines stating it is not advisable for pregnant women to fly in the third trimester. I asked her if she would feel responsible if an eight months pregnant woman with a medically fragile fetus decided to fly "because Sarah's doctor said it was all right" and then the baby was born preterm, in flight.
I did not receive an answer.
To change tone...rumor has it Sarah's going to specifically mention the "attacks" on Trig by "bloggers" during one of her upcoming speeches. And...Sarah has told her VA speaking engagement hosts that Trig will "probably feel up to" making this trip when they inquired about him.
She's going to say he was "too sick to travel" (although she worries she will be opening herself up to criticism by people saying she shouldn't leave her sick child for a paid speech) or actually bring him...in which case he will be very "sleepy" the entire time.
I hope she leaves him alone and doesn't make him part of her sick circus. (my hopes are low, obviously)
-MeAgain
Anonymous @ 12:32, Bristol has been under her mother's negative influence for her entire life that unless she gets some serious professional help, she'll never get over how Sarah has treated her.
ReplyDeleteWhen there were rumors about Bristol being the actual birth mother of Trig, these rumors starting long before she even gave birth, Sarah complained to her staff in emails about the rumors. She said repeatedly that she wished there was something she could do to stop the rumors. Her bright idea, to plant something in the local gossip columnist with "The Ear" an Alaskan known for situations such as this. There were NO replies from her staff with the suggestion that she sit down with a trusted reporter and show them whatever proof they wanted to indicate she was Trig's natural mother. Why NOT?? Were they all in on the scam or were they suspecting the scam and so didn't want to earn Sarah's wrath by even suggesting such a thing?!
Any loving, caring mother wouldn't give a damn about revealing what she needed to in order to put an end to rumors that her daughter complained to her about on a daily basis.
Then comes the V.P. nomination and in order to put an end to speculation that Bristol is Trig's birth mother, not Sarah, what does Sarah do? Does she release medical records or even submit to a DNA test that would put an end to the rumors forever? No! She comes forth with the news that Bristol is 5 months pregnant and therefore, could not possibly be the natural mother of Trig! If she had given proof of indisputable truth that she was Trig's birth mother, it would have taken the spotlight off Bristol even though they would have to reveal her pregnancy at a later date, prior to the election. She didn't care about her daughter's suffering as any natural mother would.
I don't think Palin is capable of motherly love because it appears as if she never received it as a child. Not that I believe it to be a valid excuse, because she could have received help from a professional to deal with what she missed out on. It just wasn't important enough to her. I'll never forget during SPAlaska, her remarking to the camp owner where she and her father went hunting about how "they didn't believe in feelings" as a reply to the owner getting a little choked up at the thought of not seeing other humans for possibly quite some time due to the extremely remote location of the camp. Sarah obviously misunderstood her but she meant what she said about the Palins' not believing in feelings if her behavior is any indication of her mental status.
I've never seen such a cold woman despite her pretending to be this allegedly warm, caring mother. It's not in her eyes, her smile, etc. Palin doesn't care about other people or their pain. There was a great example in McGinniss' book regarding this topic and a local resident of Wasilla by the name of Catherine Mormile. Another example was during the V.P. debate when Joe Biden became choked up talking about the death of his first wife and their daughter, along with his concern for the serious health issues facing his two surviving sons due to injuries received in the accident which killed their mother and sister. After he finished speaking, Sarah went right on talking almost exactly where she had left off prior to Biden's remarks, without any emotion regarding these same remarks that affected almost everyone else at the speech, including the moderator. She had that big smile pasted on her face and was ready to use whatever time was allotted to her without a thought in the world to what her opponent had just said. That woman has ice water in her veins, not blood.
When I was in grad school I used to sneak home to watch Ryan's Hope. Now this thread is my guilty pleasure- better than a soap opera!

Profits from the Koch Brothers’ Iranian Treason Pay Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck
If you’ve ever been enraged by the hypocrisy of the never-ending drum beat for “small government” by the Sarah Palin/ Glenn Beck type Tea Partiers, buckle your seat belt.
The much-awaited Bloomberg article hit the net last night and blew the lid off of the carefully guarded and barely recovering Koch Brothers’ reputations with revelations of Koch’s secret sales to Iran. This morning, the financial ties between Koch Brother Axis of Evil money and conservative spokespeople like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck were further exposed.
Bloomberg revealed the deaths, bribes, felony charges, envelopes stuffed with cash, criminal violations, deliberate poisoning of the air with cancerous smoke, and hundreds of millions of fines behind the Koch Brothers. They revealed that employees are taught to cheat and steal under “The Koch Method.” Oh, and the Kochs sold millions of dollars in petrochemical equipment to Iran, a country recognized for sponsoring terrorism but also one of three countries in the George W Bush identified “Axis of Evil.”
It’s ironic that Sarah Palin, whom the Koch brothers money paid to speak on behalf of the “Tea Party,” has accused President Obama of “palling around with terrorists.” See, the money from those petrochemical sales funded Americans for Prosperity which funds the Tea Party which pays people like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck to speak. David Koch is in fact the founder of Americans for Prosperity. This money trail is no longer murky...

ReplyDeleteBoy she is an imbecile. She is her own worst enemy. So she plans to CALL ATTENTION to the Trig pregnancy question? EVEN BETTER, to bloggers questioning Trig's birth. And EVERYONE would take her at her word since she's proven herself to be so trustworthy? Her skin must just be so thin that she can't help herself. All it would do is show that she is just full of excuses and make even more people aware of how messed up her crew is.. Once again, the family goes under the bus to take the weight of Sarah. She could just leave it alone and quietly say she wants to focus on more important things. But, no, she needs to have someone to blame and that will be her undoing.

Then MeAgain is a goddam genius because it's really hard to write in different 'voices'. The posts from MeAgain are full of fancy pageant writing and the shill's posts are so (haha) 'immature'.
Personally, i think you should get your shill money up front because $arah's shill-well will be dust before long.
So Sarah is going to play the victim card again, claiming that the evil haters have been posting terrible comments about Trig.
ReplyDeleteNo one has said anything cruel about the little boy. We have commented that he was hauled around on a book tour, exhibited wearing nothing but a t-shirt and diaper on on cold night. The video of Sarah greeting her fans at 11 PM, pumping her fist, whoo, whoo, whoo, with Trip propped on her hip is not saying anything cruel about Trig. What is cruel is the way that Sarah Palin treated him. He is an innocent.
When Bristol read the comments here, claiming that we haven't seen a recent photo of Trig, she didn't even blink. She posted a photo of a little boy, shown from the back. There would be no way to tell if he was Trig or any other child with dark hair. What was clear was that the little boy did not wear glasses or hearing aids. We know from previous pictures that Tripp wears and needs these aids to see and hear. For him to be shown without glasses and hearing aids means that an adult is neglecting his basic needs. That is not an insult to Trig; it is a condemnation of his care takers.
We have no evidence of his therapy. In Sarah's second book, "America by Heart, she described Trig visiting a farm and spending hours there every day. He loved the animals. He ran towards them, his hand outstretch in front of him. Sarah called it his North Star, guiding him. The description sounded like a child with vision problems, holding his arm out in front of him so he wouldn't run into anything. The farm and the animals are sweet, but they are not therapy. This has nothing to do with Trig, an innocent. It has everything with the people who should be responsible for him getting professional therapy.
Please, Sarah, tell everyone how badly we have been treating Trig. That's called projection. We are not in charge of his care; you are. No one has said one vile thing about him. We don't know him, and we only care that he is treated well and gets his therapy. Since you and Todd claim to be his parents, then you are responsible for his health and welfare. Live up to your own responsibilities. And, if you play the victim card, "They're saying vile things about Trig," then you will validate MeAgain again, just like Bristol did when she rushed to post the Facebook picture.

Wow, you are an illiterate fool. You can't see the difference between posts by those illiterate, uneducated, wonky eyed, doofus posts and someone who knows how to spell, punctuate and write in complete sentences and is articulate? Ohhh, teh stoopid, it hurts.
Methinks you are one of them because it is a family trait to not have a clue how fucking stupid they appear to the world. To be so gloriously stupid that you have no clue how much you don't know is truly a monumental hallmark of the Palins.
Wow they really get up late in Wasilly, but I guess when you go to Home Learnin' H.S. it really doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteFrom the "Levi Johnston's book. Deer in the Headlights, or Boy Trapped Under Sarah Palin's Bus Tire? Part Two." thread, the person that put together the images on the flickr site has just weighed in. Let's encourage her to post more pictures, eh?

OMG Gryphen I nearly plotzed when I saw my Bristol/Belly composite on this post! I totally forgot I sent you the link! The page only had maybe 6 or 7 views in the first month so I kinda gave up on it. But now there is over 800 views! So I think I might add the other composites/collages I did but never added to the flickr site.
Also too, can't wait for part 3 of the review!!

ReplyDeleteYou are right on the mark with this post. NOBODY here has attacked Trig, only her abuse and neglect of him. We must watch for this meme from her and be prepared to post remarks similar to yours on any site that posts her ridiculous accusation. If we can just get one or two posts rebutting this on any site we see it, maybe a few people will recognize how that poor child is neglected.

ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth!
5:11..so true!!
ReplyDeleteAlso..this comment really made me laugh "Meanwhile, the trolls write about as well as Quitty plays the flute."
One final response....Bristol, that lady above who told you that you need to get out and make a life for yourself really said it very well. Do yourself and your sons a favor and follow her advice. Life it too long to spend it in the shadow of a crazy woman. Look at your father. Do you want to be like him? Even more...look at your grandmother.
Does anyone remember the recent rumors that Sarah was involved with someone married? Some people speculated about who that might be. MeAgain, do you know?
ReplyDeleteInteresting about Van Flein. He was making a fortune off Palin but she had to be very difficult to deal with.
Some thought maybe he was the married lover because of his sudden move to Arizona. Although Flagstaff where he is, is 2 1/2 hours from Scottsdale. And is she living in that huge Scottsdale cold looking mansion? There is a rumor it was an illegal sale.
Baldy: it will all be out soon.
Bristol: what rationonalist said to you is very true and kind of him. Many of " us" feel for you. But not if you continue in your mothers footsteps. Only long term therapy and really facing the truth will save your life. Otherwise you will be like Sarah; unhappy, bitter and alone.
Awww, Levi's a complete romantic.

ReplyDeleteHEE! I'll admit it, I used to be a huge supporter of Bristol's. She got thrown under the bus, big time, and I felt so bad for her. I hoped that she would demand a college education out of her mom's riches, and that she would go off and get counseling, and an education, and far exceed any of her mom's pseudo-accomplishments.
Alas, that has not proven to be the case. I guess she could still change her ways, but I'm not seeing it. Someone, please, one of you posting on her as Bristol's "friend"? Please. Do an intervention.
The Origin of Babygate - A Conversation with Prof. Brad Scharlott
ReplyDelete...My epiphany was that citing the odds against a teenager having a Down syndrome child is not very useful in figuring out what likely happened with Trig. Before the insight, my reasoning went like this: 1) because it was very beneficial to Sarah for Trig to have Down syndrome, and 2) because the odds against a teenager having a DS baby are remote, then Bristol probably was not the mother – Sarah Palin could not have been that lucky, I thought. I was virtually convinced that a Down syndrome ringer had been brought in from the outside, to benefit Sarah politically.
But here’s the flaw in that logic: it overlooks the likelihood that Sarah would have found a way to help herself politically from virtually anything that happened to be wrong with Trig. I realized that Bristol can be a strong candidate for the birth mother, because it’s not that unusual for a baby to be born with some disability – and in Trig’s case, Ds happened to be the disability. But if it had been multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, etc., Palin could likewise have milked it for political advantage.
By the way, I know some will say we don’t need to speculate on Trig’s bio-parents, just the fact that Sarah perpetrated the hoax. But I believe that without a plausible story as to what did take place, the public won’t accept that the hoax happened.
LN: I agree with you there. Besides, the “who” and “how” are as fascinating as the “what” might have taken place. There are those who look at the broader view and the political implications behind the hoax. I see their point entirely. And there is the view that this was a personal story exploited for personal reasons, and the “greater good” as far as Sarah could see.
BS: Well, my insight got me to view the entire birth narrative in a new light. Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that Bristol gave birth to Trig around Feb. 15, 2008. Let’s also assume nobody knew in advance the baby would have Down syndrome – after all, that’s not something teenagers are often tested for. If that’s the case, perhaps Sarah did not develop a plan to fake anything until after the baby was born.
Here’s a research challenge for your readers:
http://www.lauranovakauthor.com/1/post/2011/10/the-origin-of-babygate-a-conversation-with-prof-brad-scharlott.html
BS: I couldn’t agree more. A finalnote. If this narrative is correct, it makes clear that the hoax happened strictly as an act of political opportunism. Palin did not fake the birth to help Bristol; she did it to give herself a better shot at the vice presidency. At some point, I predict, the hoax will be exposed. And you can bet Palin will say it was all about protecting Bristol. And that will be yet one more brazen lie.

Hi Sarah (and Bristol),
ReplyDeleteI know that you read here because you respond so quickly to criticism and comments posted here. I read that Sarah's lawyers are checking out the filing deadlines for primary states. Way to go, Sarah, right on top of things. Michigan's signed petitions are due on Oct.17 and New Hamprshire's on Oct.28. That should be plenty of time to collect the necessary signatures and get everything in order. (Hint. Get extra signatures, just in case they spot a couple of fake ones like Lou Sarah, LuLu, and S.Heath).
We can't wait for you to announce your candidacy for the office of President of the United States. Thank goodness you won't be subjected to those gotcha questions that they ask in the debates. You can run by Twitter and Facebook instead of answering real questions. But, I do have some that the reporters will ask.
Governor Christie campaigned hard to get his job as governor, and he couldn't leave until he got the job done. Why did you quit? Was it legal problems or was it just for the money?
Also, too, you do realize that this time, we will want to see Trig's birth certificate, your medical records, including those the white-outs, I mean, miscarriages. We will want to see your financial records. We might even ask to see the receipts for the building materials for those spiffy lake homes, the ones that look very much like the nearby Sports Complex. Oh, and I keep forgetting, why did you quit your job as governor when you didn't quit during the two months that you were running for VP.
How's Trig's therapy going? How is his eyesight and does he still wear his glasses? How is his hearing and his speech? Those are not vile comments about Trig. Those are comments that show how concerned we are about how he is doing. You'll be subjected to that, and many other personal questions for the next year. Lace up your running shoes. This time it will be the full marathon, with no short cuts and no time outs. Good Luck, we can't wait to hear your answers.
@ 12:27 PM
ReplyDeleteI *love* your post.

Hey Sarah, are your devoted followers so stupid that they believe the intentional leak that your legal consultant was checking around about filing dates?
ReplyDeleteYou could find that with the Google. Or Track could look it up for you. Isn't he your research guy? But you wanted this to appear to be serious, you want the cash, more cash, all the cash. Gonna be hard to gen up the enthusiasm for petition signatures from the dias where you are giving paid speeches and from Korea.
But you are not going to run and we know why.
Oh Sarah, just a word of caution. You know what happened last week with The Rogue? You personally drove sales way up. Good job.
ReplyDeleteWhat's gonna happen when you blame the blogs for not running? Hmmmm......Gryphen, what have you got ready for that day? We need something juicy. And an index and instructions for all the new visitors. Sarah blames the blogs, the curious come here and elsewhere to see what's up. I like that.

ReplyDeleteSarah is licking her wounds because I quoted a redacted portion of one of her emails and now she's scared to death wondering how MANY of them I have and WHICH ones they are.
Sarah, I heard Tiemessen's water cooler gossip is that you had PAC staff leak this "filing deadline inquiry" in order to deflect attention from the fact that your PAC expenses are not going to add up with your PAC expenditures.
And this is just hilarious to me...Sarah mentioned to several people that she was nervous Gryphen or Laura would look at her executive schedule from the last month of her "pregnancy" and look at all the flights she took while she was supposedly "leaking every day". I think she is the one who TOLD Levi to include the details about leaking daily for weeks...to make it seem like traveling after she started leaking in Texas was less risky. But as usual, she didn't think it through and now is stuck having to explain why she flew twenty thousand miles while "leaking" every day.
And also as usual...if she had kept that botoxed trout yapper shut and not called attention to it, nobody would have caught how Levi's revisionist account of Sarah's obstetrical woes were seriously "conderdicted" by Sarah's official schedule.
Anyone else picturing Homer Simpson in a bad wig, naughty monkey heels, and a fake Fargo drawl?
-MeAgain
MeAgain - interesting tidbit about the water cooler talk - so, she can log extra consultant fees on the record to try and balance her PAC expenses. She has to have the "right" expenses show up to account for the money going out... She is a con artist who is not quite at the top of the game. She will get caught!

Sarah, I have questions like Anon 12:27 that I would like to ask about if you decide to run for President. How come so many of your real estate transactions prey on people who have had reversals or deaths? How did you manage to purchase real estate sans mortgages when you were unemployed and Todd was working on the North Slope? I think, I figured out the transaction that might explain the Lake Lucille house expenditures...or the lack thereof? We have questions, Granny Lou.
ReplyDeleteMeAgain, you said, "I think she is the one who TOLD Levi to include the details about leaking daily," and "Levi's revisionist account."
ReplyDeleteWhat parts of Levi's book are revisionist and what the Palins have told him to say, as opposed to being Levi's real story? Why do the Johnstons have to lie for the Palins? Inquiring minds want to know.

5:32 - what meeting are you referring to in Oregon last fall?
ReplyDeleteHi MeAgain,
ReplyDelete"Sarah is licking her wounds because I quoted a redacted portion of one of her emails"
I'm dying to know... What was the redacted portion that you quoted?
Oregon meeting?
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked about Todd's solo engagements, which was an earlier troll comment. Apparently, one of the trolls finds it necessary to point out one solo engagement last fall. It's officially fall again, so that makes it a year ago. Hardly refudiation. Yawn.
B,
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew what part of Levi's book was revisionist.
Here's what I know to be factual about Levi:
He lived at the Palin home well before Sarah said to People magazine it would be "over her dead body" that a boyfriend of her daughter's spent the night in the home.
He and Bristol had a serious and committed relationship at one time despite Bristol commenting here frequently trying to play the relationship off as a teenage fling. At one time Levi seemed to forsake his family simply because Bristol "said so".
He was extremely, extremely tender and gentle toward Trig per my source. In the months before the VP pick, he seemed genuinely delighted when he got to see Trig, and the one time my source has seen Levi in person he was holding Trig and talking in a sweet baby talk voice to him. Interesting sidenote: my source finds it odd that we hear so much about Todd and Levi being at odds because she notes Todd was "amazingly" sweet with Trig--even though she feels he is a bully and possibly much worse in all other aspects. In the single time I myself saw Todd in person, he was holding his hand up over Trig's eyes and then pulling it away and saying "booo bear! booo bear! who's my booo bear!" in a soft, sweet voice. The reason I mention it is because my source feels strongly that Todd and Levi must have bonded over their obvious shared love of whatever baby was in the home at that time. (the one I have come to think of as Convention Trig/Trig 2)
Prior to the whole national media explosion, Levi spoke often of his mother and sister--always in absolutely glowing terms. But did not mention his dad much, even when Keith and Sherry were still together.
And that's about it.
I don't know why he hasn't pursued his rights as a father...of course I have to consider that the child we know as Tripp is not Levi's child.
The whole mess is so convoluted...I don't know if Trig is Levi's real child and he just played the rent-a-babydaddy for the Tripp pregnancy...I don't know if he has sought DNA tests or has questioned paternity of...whatever baby(ies) he has been told he is the father of.
And I definitely don't know why he sticks with "representation" who seems hell bent on making him look as dumb, inept, and deadbeat-y as possible.
What's that saying about an enigma wrapped in a riddle or something? That's Levi. I just don't get it. My gut says Levi is a major patsy. Why does he play along? I feel it must be because he "has to".
-MeAgain
Another question for Sarah Palin and Chuck Heath, for the first press conference after Sarah announces her late arrival into the Republican race:
ReplyDeleteChuck had this good friend, the school principal described in Joe McGinniss' book. They were such good pals that they came up to Alaska together. When the principal was fired for failing to respond to claims of child abuse going on in his school, Chuck rallied to his defense. Chuck even orchestrated a campaign of hate against members of the school board who fired his friend, the principal. Gee, I wonder where Sarah learned that getting-even-at-all-cost thing.
Somewhere in the midst of the friendship, there was a loan that was forgiven, to the tune of more than $100,000. The money was used towards the first Palin Lake House. Was that windfall of $100,000 plus reported as income?
To Me Again:
I love your witty writing style. I think that easily half of it sails right past the Palins. Thanks for the wonderful updates.
The email I quoted was the post where I asked Sarah how she thought people would react if they knew she had callously said "she couldn't find her butt with a map and two hands" about a cancer survivor.
ReplyDeleteI guess that's covered by "executive privilege" in Sarah's world.
I only have a tiny fraction of the redacted emails, so I wonder what stayed hidden. And some of the stuff that got redacted is pretty bad- like Sarah calling a minor "bitch". So that makes me INCREDIBLY curious as to what was held back altogether.
Truly, I can't imagine. If they redacted her cursing, belittling people, demeaning Todd, showing EXTREME lack of general political knowledge...what did they hold back? Seems like they would have just redacted everything rather than admitting several thousand pages were held back.
Even thought I only have a small amount of the redacted emails...in no less than four of them she demands to know who said something "right now". I think it's interesting that they redacted her petulance. I swear I keep expecting to find a redacted email which reads "you better redact all these emails RIGHT NOW!"
-MeAgain
So exactly what did Todd do at "that meeting in Oregon"? Inquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteTo MeAgain,
ReplyDeleteI admit I'm intrigued by all your comments! I was skeptical at first but I'm definitely coming around. Thank you for your persistence and for continuing to post.
I have a completely different question for you: I don't know if you've seen any of my spoof Palin posters, but I enjoy making fun of her by photoshopping her pictures. Are you aware of anything that would get her really riled up if it were to appear in a spoof pic? A photo of herself she really hates, for example, or a part of her body she is especially self-conscious about?
Extraordinary Women–and even ordinary women and men–want to know: yes or no, Sarah?
ReplyDeleteSarah, the road show is over. I know you’ll quit while you’re ahead.
To enter the race for the Republican nomination would not merely invite, but demand scrutiny
that you could not withstand: about Trig, about your extremist religious beliefs, about your phony
image as a “hockey Mom,” about your vindictiveness, about the disparity between how you tell others to conduct their lives and the way you’ve conducted your own, about the lies you’ve told as a public figure, about your ignorance, your shallowness, and your hysteria whenever you don’t get your own way immediately.

Hi Sarah, Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteQuick Question, Where's Trigs Birth Certificate?
Big Thanks to you Gryph, for bird dogging this debacle of an Ex-Governor and tirelessly reporting the story to the American People!
Big Thanks to MeAgain, Laura Novak, Brad Scharlott, Joe McGuiness, Geoff Dunn, Nick Broomfield,whose post, hosts this thread, 950+ comments strong and still going...!
And a shout out to all the other Anon members of the IM posse!
(Except you Bristol, Sarah, and AprilM!)
I truly believe the end of this LONG National nightmare may at last, be on the horizon...
Yo! Azure Ghost
ReplyDeleteI do hope that MeAgain responds to your request, but in the meantime, something that MeAgain did mention the other day is that Sarah seems to be going or is BALD. I would LOVE to see you do something related to that, something that looks patchy and unattractive, which I imagine her hair loss is, given all the nasty wigs she plops on her big ol' head. Also, those clawlike hands of hers are frightening and I suspect the wonky eye is worth addressing. Also, too, don't forget those nasty, narly toes of hers all funky and fetid.
Just a few humble suggestions of what I believe is representative of Sarah's decrepid demeanor.
I get an image of rotting from the inside, barely encased by a once attractive shell that is withering and melting against the stench of rot suffocating it, when I think of that woman...take away the shell, the physical blinder and what you have left is a seething, raging, snarling pile of fetid horror.
I'm interested in the comment about Todd being so tender to Trig, playing peek-a-boo with him in an affectionate way. Everything that we have seen and heard point to a big bully, threatening people to fire his former brother in law. He intimidated a school teacher in Homer for holding a "Worst Governor Ever" sign,and menaced a photographer in the Valdez airport while Sarah posed for photos.
ReplyDeleteActually, Todd and Sarah are a perfectly matched pair. She is still the mean girl from high school, writing slam notes, gossiping behind someone's back, spreading rumors. Todd is the super jock, still involved in manly macho activities, snow machining, fishing.
What I have also described are two insecure immature people who don't have much else going for them. So, the poor guy sits in the garage, drinking beer and he finds satisfaction in yelling at people. How wonderful that he has such a soft spot for someone who was helpless, the one person that he couldn't beat up mentally or physically.
It must be hard for him to carry Sarah's purse and act as her bodyguard and escort. The price must be right; they are making lots of money. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much satisfaction in their lives, just bitterness, which must account for some of the bullying and meanness that we see in Sarah's emails, we hear in her speeches and we see in Todd's overbearing bullying. If they hadn't done so much damage to other people and the country, then I would try to feel sorry for them.
Anon 8:15 You might want to look at Carter's property and the road that made the property worth a chunk. Seems like he is now willing to sell it to the City for a library for $1 million.

So thank you for all you are doing to expose this woman's lies.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS0BCJNw60g
Why does every even remotely positive comment make you scream troll?
ReplyDeleteNot everyone in the world is a catty bitch who spouts immature, malicious commentary you know. Most of us DO have sensitivity and human decency. We also can recognize a lie from 100 ft away.
I'm pretty confident in saying that the book "authored by" Levi that Bristol used for target practice a week ago had zippo to do with the Palins.
ReplyDeleteIf Bristol rarely even speaks to Levi, even over Tripp issues, what makes you think Sarah would somewhat orchestrate his book?
DITH was just bizarre. It's like he forgot everything he said in the past and forgot most of what has happened in the last couple years.
Azure Ghost,
ReplyDeleteHi, big fan!
9:51 is right on the mark. If you circulated a photo of Sarah with, say...a Giuliani style comb-over? The canned goods might actually go THROUGH the fridge.
She's super paranoid about her hands because Todd said something about her "bony claws".
But the biggie, the thing which keeps Sarah as the raging antagonistic shrew we all know and abhor--the inferiority complex regarding her intelligence. Or total lack of it, rather. She is in constant fear that it will be found out she couldn't hack an undergrad degree and she avoids debates and reporters as much to avoid looking stupid as to avoid questions about Trig(s).
That's why she holds such a bitter, intense grudge against Couric and why she immediately accused the person who asked her "what did you learn today?" at the Paul Revere museum of practicing "gotcha" journalism. And when Jon Stewart said "it's not a 'gotcha' question just because it got...cha!" Sarah spent days railing against him.
Oh, she also is very paranoid lately about adult onset acne. I think all the crap she's putting in her body is causing the breakouts (she claims it's stress) and she got a foundation spray gun type thing like movie makeup artists use to cover the blemishes but I think the layers of makeup cause her to look even worse.
The other thing that is really worrying her right now is that people will start making more of an issue about Track having gotten Britta pregnant before they were married. That's why she won't even talk about her newest grandchild--she doesn't want to open the door to being asked if she still believes in abstinence only education now that her two eldest children have gotten pregnant or gotten someone pregnant out of wedlock.
She made those poor kids pose for that "wedding" photo...even though I don't think she managed to strong-arm them into a legal marriage.
Oh! And she is having a perpetual code red meltdown about the big 5-0 drawing nigh in just a couple of years.
I look forward to your next masterpiece!
-MeAgain
My spidey sense is telling me the comment about an Oregon meeting did not come from a troll. MeAgain, any insights on this one?
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I do have to wonder if the troll forces aren't retreating and regrouping. I know, hard to imagine them changing tacks; such a winning strategy they had going. But over at Laura's blog there are a couple of new voices who seem to be trying very hard to sound like reasonably human beings, but whose main interest seems to be undermine the credibility of IM, both G and the discussions here. Not that it's anything really new, of course, but it's clear that MeAgain has the trolls on their heels in a way we haven't seen before (you go girl!)
Kat
Of course Todd was tender with Trig...grandparents are always kind and loving...
ReplyDelete@10:15 "If they hadn't done so much damage to other people and the country, then I would try to feel sorry for them." BINGO! I don't think I've ever felt such revulsion toward a fellow human being before and it truly bothers me. But when I hear Sarah's hateful words quoted by her ignorant true believers I understand how difficult it is to "love your enemy" especially when your enemy is f&^king up your beloved country and the people she incites pose a threat to the entire world.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous@2:10
ReplyDeleteWhy does every even remotely positive comment make you scream troll?
********************************
Because your earlier comment, "When Todd has his solo engagements, he travels alone." screamed "I am a TROLLLLL!!"
Really, how thick can you be?
MeAgain,
ReplyDeleteEgads, that ridiculous wedding photo. The ripped up and re-purposed grocery store flower arrangement, the fleece jackets, the jeans, the suspiciously planted bouquet to cover the growing baby, the sad, sad proposition that there were only four people, including the dad who is conveniently the pastor supposedly performing the fake wedding at the blessed event (oh, plus the People magazine photographer?) I cringe at the thought of that sad little spectacle. Reminds me of the HuffPo feature on Awkward Family Photos and Most Awkward Wedding Photos. Nice job making warm family memories, Sarah. Good times!
2:10 am "Why does every even remotely positive comment make you scream troll?
ReplyDeleteNot everyone in the world is a catty bitch who spouts immature, malicious commentary you know... We also can recognize a lie from 100 ft away."
But few use the word "immature" as often as you making YOU easy to recognize, although 100 feet away is remarkable. You must have some of those super-natural Wonder Woman genes that Sarah has. That or you magnify IM onto a big screen TV and TROLL it in packs, as noted by the "We".
Hey Azure Ghost! With MeAgain's description of hair and claws, this picture came to my mind (it's also representative of Palin's insanity).

What do you think?
MeAgain, your comments on Track and Britta's baby and Sarah's silence on the new baby makes sense. I have to admit that I was hoping that Track and Britta laid down their terms - Sarah if you ever mention us our our baby again you will never see us again. We are done with the circus. But I suppose that they enjoy or need the cash flow from the lunatic Sarah.
ReplyDeleteMeAgain writes that Sarah lives in fear of having her lack of intelligence found out. We found that out in 2008. "What do you read to inform your world opinion?" "Any and all of them." I hope that the people in charge of editing history in the Texas school books are including the new information about Paul Revere ringing those bells and firing those warning shots.
ReplyDeleteIn an interview with AP, celebrating 15 years of Fox News, Roger Ailes admits that he hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and she was good for ratings. Finally, Sarah did win a sort of beauty contest. She was not hired for her intelligent discussion of political affairs.
No one at the University of Idaho remembered Sarah Heath. She did not contribute to the school paper or leave her mark in any way. When Sarah Palin speaks in that word jumble, we can tell that she did not earn a degree in anything. But she did learn one thing, how to attract the media.
Thanks again to Me Again for the contributions. So, are you saying that Todd and Britta aren't married or that Sarah can't take any credit for their marriage? As for the abstinence thing, Sally Heath and her daughter Sarah both seemed to have had quickie marriages and a child born less than 9 months later. Bristol and Track are just following the only examples that they have seen.
A suggestion for Gryphen: It might be interesting to see one of Me Again's unredacted emails posted next to the redacted version. Then, we'll be able to see if the blacked out stuff was a matter of security or confidential government business, or if it was blackened out to protect Sarah. I have the impression that she spent much of her term as governor writing mean-girl texts and emails, and they needed to scrub the petty insults.
The "Oregon meeting" was offered as proof earlier in this thread that Todd has "solo engagements." Sarah and Todd were invited to an event in Oregon called Gathering of the Eagles, but Sarah's schedule did not "permit her to attend." Todd showed up and spoke for a whopping 30 seconds.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/mS0BCJNw60g
Todd @ the 45 second mark.
I don't think the Oregon meeting was anything important. MeAgain posted that she was taking an entourage to the Virginia event this weekend. A troll said they only travel with one or two people, or just one of the kids, including Todd, when he has solo engagements.
ReplyDeleteSomeone questioned whether Todd does any solo engagements. A troll (I think) posted that he did the Oregon meeting last fall, as in, "Yes, he DOES do solo engagements!" even though they only gave only one example, over a year ago.
Here's the one I think they were referring to, in Sept. 2010: http://barbaricthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/09/todd-palin-at-gathering-of-eagles.html
"Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much satisfaction in their lives, just bitterness, which must account for some of the bullying and meanness that we see"
ReplyDeleteThat "favorite toast" they use, "May we always be happy and our enemies know it," is incredibly revealing. They aren't happy in and of themselves. They aren't happy unless other people envy them. They're going to continue to be unhappy, because you can't achieve a satisfied life if you're miserable with yourself, and they obviously are.
Wherever they go, there they are. And it's always going to be that way. No happiness. No satisfaction. No deep upwelling of joy in being a human and alive and just living their lives.
They have nothing except money and notoriety, and they've sold their souls for that.
Actually the truth is that Track refuses to be part of his mothers public life. He will not have Britta and his child displayed all over the tabloids like Trig and Tripp have been.
ReplyDeleteWhen Track told his mother he was expecting she asked him to do the ceremony simply to protect her image. He agreed to the few pictures and that was it.
Track refused to let her announce the birth, or mention it. He wants to live in peace.
Its part of the reason why she will not run for president because Track is a no vote. Part of why you haven't seen Trig is Sarah's attempt to show Track that she can keep him out of the spotlight. The delay in her announcement has been her trying to convince Track to go along... he still refuses. With every new story about Trig, Track throws it in her face as proof that she can't shelter him.
Track has also been chastising Bristol for how much Tripp has been in the news. He thinks it wrong.
I think he is right.
Oh and by the way...
ReplyDeleteMe Again is a very disgruntled RAM
Sarah dear-
ReplyDeleteWhat you fear MOST has already happened:
We KNOW that you did not birth Trig.
We KNOW that you did not graduate from college.
We KNOW that your entire political career is littered with corruption and ethics violations.
We KNOW that the picture of family life you present is completely false.
We KNOW that your physical appearance is a LIE.
We KNOW that you fear MeAgain's comments because they are true.
... and guess what Sarah...
We KNOW that you created your own hell.

Randon Access Memory?
Anon 9:19, no way is Me Again RAM. No way. The voice is all wrong. Me Again is full of confidence and good humor, and RAM, sadly, has never enjoyed either of those qualities.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear RAM speak out, but this isn't her.
Did anyone else notice sign in the Oregon youtube was "We The People" just like Palin's bus wrap!
ReplyDelete"Oh and by the way...
ReplyDeleteMe Again is a very disgruntled RAM"
I seriously doubt it but if so even better. Why do so many end up disgruntled around Sarah? Must be they're all jealous. Surely it's not a reflection of Sarah.
I don't personally believe MeAgain is RAM, but if she were - so what? What do we care about exactly who is providing this info about Sarah? We want it from someone we consider worthy or something?
ReplyDeleteNothing against you, MeAgain, because you seem like a smart, nice person, but it is possible that you were/are in Sarah's inner circle (though I think you are at its periphery, and the person you feel anger on behalf of is involved with Sarah involuntarily, not by choice - as in related to, or just an innocent bystander).
So, in the large realm of possibility, I suppose you could be someone like a RAM, who supported Sarah at one time.
You sound like you've had her number, always, however, which would rule out you being RAM, for sure.
No sure why trolls think such speculation about your identity would make us feel any differently about the information you are sharing, though. There is such a thing as people having a change of heart.

No way, RAM is MeAgain. MeAgain mentioned she was a size 16. RAM could not but a size 16 on one of her thighs.

If we could post pictures here, i would make an image of Spock, with his finger resting on his chin, and raising one of his pointy eyebrows up and down, and going "Hmmmm..."
anon 9:18,
ReplyDeleteThe nation should be grateful for any reason that keeps Palin off the national stage. But if her only reason is that Track is not supportive, that is truly remarkable. She has so little self-awareness, no fear of the inquisition that will dog her path, and shear lunacy that she believes that she has the intellect and gravitas to make a national run.
Those who remain advisors and are paid off by SarahPAC are sealing their own fate. Shameful that they would continue to work for her. Have they no pride, no patriotism, no fear?
anon@1112, could we not sink to that level, please? (If you're a troll, bite me.)
ReplyDeleteKat
Whoever is making the RIDICULOUS suggestion that MeAgain is RAM, you can give it up. MeAgain works and lives in ALASKA, when was the last time RAM did that? Uh, never?
ReplyDeletere: speculation about MeAgain & RAM
ReplyDeleteI think the quickest way to scare someone off this blog is trying to zero in on who they are. I know you feel that knowing who this person is will validate their words and revelations. You may have a point, but this person has chosen to stay anonymous, and we should respect that. Please allow her/him to continue with some small measure of peace and weigh the revelations as they unfold. It will all come out in the wash.
Thank you, Kat at 11:48 == there is plenty of scurrilous gossip for us to munch on, there's no need to make mean fat jokes.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else watch "Friends" in the 90s?
ReplyDeleteI'll handle this Chandler Bing style:
Could I BE any less RAM?
I am not someone you would recognize. I have only met Sarah twice and Todd once. I myself am not part of the "inner circle". My source is, reluctantly. I can't explain right now but after 2011 is over I will be able to explain why my source is "stuck" dealing with Sarah and why Sarah doesn't/can't give her the boot. I know it is frustrating that I can't explain right now but once I CAN, it will be crystal clear why I had to protect her identity at this time.
Bristol, I have to give you credit! You are heeding your mother's raging mandate to not be so obvious when you're posting! And the "Trig is out of sight because Sarah wants to prove to TRACK she can do it"? Serious?
I hope you two didn't spend a ton of time on that.
I know your mother tried to force and then bribe Track and Britta to tell the world (and unbelievably, Britta's parents) they had "eloped" in a fit of youthful passion last December and then had a "honeymoon baby". Track shot her down and the only reason those "wedding" photos exist is because your mother tricked everyone and then forced the staged scene.
Track hates her for how she SOLD him as a "combat vet" and did the same to Trig as a special needs child.
It's well known that last year Track was at a certain Anchorage bar/restaurant almost weekly--laughing it up about how paranoid and deranged his mother was. Once he even took out a wad of cash and waved it around asking who wanted a drink "on the great Sarah Palin's dime".
So, no...back to the drawing board, Bristol and Sarah. Even if you WERE trying to keep Trig out of the spotlight, he'd have been spotted at SOME point in the last six months since Sarah has had TLC cameras with her constantly and Bristol has had Bio cameras with HER constantly.
Toddlers need constant care and supervision. When you are highly visible yet your small child is NEVER seen with you or in your home...it's pretty easy to get from A to B.
-MeAgain
Agreed, re: MeAgain speculation.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is I don't think our dear MeAgain is intimidate-able (made word up, I know).
Trolls can come around here and home in on finding out the person's identity, but as she has already said, Sarah knows and won't cross her because of information she possesses. Leverage, insurance, whatever anyone wants to call it.
I call it brilliant ;-).
Just watched Todd's outstanding speech at the "Oregon event" (thanks for the link). What a farce to pretend that was anything to brag about. I think he looked high or drunk...his eyes have a very strange look..and he gave a 14second "speech".
ReplyDeleteI read through a few of the comments and one of them said that this was a KKK type event and another listed what losers all the men invovled are.
I also found it strange that the sign behind them is just like on her famous shrink wrapped bus.
Explain to me why these people always think they need to have a pastor speak a few words before they launch into a program full of lies and half truths?
9:18 hit the nail on the head without realizing what was being said. Track wants to stay out of the limelight. Track does not want to see Trig paraded all over the place. The reason that Sarah hasn't shown Trig off lately is her attempt at pleasing. Track.
ReplyDeleteWho does Track sound like? Curtis Menard II, going into a much younger Sarah Palin's office and telling her that she belonged at home taking care of her kids instead of being involved in politics. For Sarah, politics was her stepping stone to publicity and celebrity. (Still is).
For some time, there has been gossip that Curtis Menard may have been Track's father. He certainly was Track's godfather, which did give him the right to go into Sarah's office and try to set her straight. He cared. It looks as if Track may have inherited some compassion from an unlikely source.
(I doubt that it is Track who is preventing Sarah from announcing her so-called candidacy. The time has run out. If she runs, it will thrust all of her kids into the spotlight, including Trig, whether Track approves or not. Until the matter of Trig's birth is settled, Sarah has more to deal with than Track's approval. I don't think that Todd has the heart to go through a year of that crap either).
Hey Gryphen, when you hit 1000 comments, how about creating a post with one of MeAgain's emails, comparing the redacted and the original copies so we can all see what kind of an immature girl occupied the governor's office and was selected to run for Vice President.
Me Again, Why would you hatefully bring up Track and Britta, two people not seeking the spotlight?
ReplyDeleteUncalled for. I grow less and less fond of you daily.
The attempt at changing trolling style is obvious, both here and at Laura's blog. However, if Sarah wants Bristol to be a little less obvious, she will have to purchase her an education and some real life experience. I'm not sure how one would jam it into the pea brain, though. Only so much you can do with what you got, ladies, as you keep proving to the world every time you open your mouths or hop on the blogs. It is truly amazing how much effort must be expended to keep the lies and deception going. Just imagine, if you were open and truthful types of people, you could all be relaxing and having fun somewhere, like Applebee's or a picnic, instead of frantically scanning blogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Me-Again! Good to know that my suspicions about Track were true -- he's the only one with the brains to get OUT of that dysfunctional family. (At least emotionally -- is it true that he and Britta are still living at The Compound?)
ReplyDeleteI have not checked on it, but the rumors about $arah not having graduated make sense - Which journalism student would NOT contribute to their local school newspaper? SHE has not, ergo she did not graduate, I betcha! I cannot imagine ANY journalism school worth it's salt NOT requiring their journalism students to be active in the paper - HOW ELSE would they show that they know what they are doing?
ReplyDeleteTLC cameras following her around the last six months? Is she filming another SPALaska? Oh - GOOD for Track. I hope he and Britta have a very happy and long life together with however many kids they want to have.
ReplyDeleteLilly is Brooklyn, btw -- a known troll.
