Sarah Palin a female Bill Clinton? Yeah, she wishes!

You know every once in awhile there is a story, or video, or something that arrives in the comments section or my email inbox so often that is becomes almost impossible to ignore.

Such is the case with a commentary from Capitol Hill Blue:  

Interesting that one of the most vocal and often-quoted supporters of controversial “Duck Dynasty” reality show star Phil Robertson is another figment of celebrity-fantasy — failed Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the one-time sex symbol of the rabid right. 

In politics, where hypocrisy abounds, Palin is a standout when it comes to being everything she rants and raves against. The self-styled defender of family values is a female Bill Clinton: Someone who sleeps around. While dating future husband Todd Palin, the then-Sarah Heath, a sports reporter for an Alaska TV station, reportedly shacked up for a night in a dorm room with a college basketball star in what those close to her say was just one of a string of casual flings by a sexually-adventurous woman. 

In college, Palin was known as a wild child who attended five schools in six years. A favorite photo of her from her college days showed a young woman on a bed in a college dorm room wearing a t-shirt that said: “I may be flat broke but I’m not flat busted.” After marriage, she embarked on a six-month affair with Palin’s partner in a snowmobile business and news of his wife’s amorous activities led an angry husband to dissolve the partnership. Those closest to Palin say that while the one-time vice presidential candidate who became a political joke likes to spend time in bed with a variety of men, those who sample her favors is apparently not husband Todd. The Palins, they say, have slept in separate bedrooms for years now. 

After her aborted run for vice president with running mate John McCain, whose advisers picked her because they wanted “a celebrity” on the ticket, Palin ended up on Fox News, where channel executives admitted selecting her because “she’s hot.” They weren’t talking about her political appeal. Author Joe McGinnis, whose string of best selling books about politics and politicians have led to more than one downfall of those who claimed to be what they are not, documented Palin’s fling with basketball star Glen Rice while she was dating her future husband as well as her six-month dalliance with Todd’s business partner Brad Hanson after they married. Although Sarah and Todd talked about having a traditional wedding, they eloped and their son was born less than nine months later, suggesting the purveyor of family values was practicing acts that produce families before marriage. McGinnis also discusses use of cocaine by the Palins. Palin denies the drug use, along with reports of her rampant sexual adventures. 

The article goes on to quote from Joe's blog and point out that while Palin threatened to sue him nothing ever came of it.  And of course we know that nothing ever came of those threats because what Joe had printed was true, and that's what a court case would prove.

And as for the Clinton comparison that really does not stand up to scrutiny.

Sure Bill has trouble controlling the little brain that lives in his pants, but he is not a politician who made his career trying to create a picture perfect image of himself as an icon of morality only to be a raging hypocrite.

Oh, and there is the fact that Clinton was actually a GOOD politician as well.

No there is no reasonable comparison between Palin and Bill Clinton.

As for the fact that she is a hypocritical POS? Well that is undeniable.
