Congratulations Iron Dog champs Team #16 Minnick/Olstad! It was great seeing racers cross the finish line on the frozen Chena River in Fairbanks yesterday.
Team #11 Palin/Huntington had to leave the hunt early due to a rarely seen crank shaft bearing failure (yes, these racers are mechanics speaking their own language), so they jumped in support mode for others in the extended family of hardcore endurance racers.
They jumped into "support mode?"
Didn't they simply run right back to Wasilla?
How exactly was that supportive to the other teams?
Okay I have a silly question. How is it that there was a crank shaft bearing failure so quickly along the trail with this group of guys supposedly working to make the snowmachine race ready?
The guys doing last minute wrenching before the start of the 2000-mile long Iron Dog race tomorrow! And taking a break to "fuel up" on (the usual) moose chili and blueberry pie.
So that "last minute wrenching" did not include checking the crank shaft bearings? How odd.
Well on the plus side I understand that the Sportsman Channel got all the footage they needed for the first episode of Amazing America.
And really once you have that what's the point in actually finishing the race?
Especially when you know there is no way to win?
Or else skidoo makes crappy snowmobiles?
ReplyDeleteOr someone put water in the gastank...
or sugar,
or, or, todd thought he could cheat his way out of it.
can't see him thumbing his nose at 50K?
Unless,
he will get much more from the sportman channel.
Hey todd, does the sportman channel know you are a pimp?
Everyone else does, like in DC :)
You are stupid. and a liar. and not even alaskan. People don't do this race just to win.
DeleteYou are a stupid-head liar 3:09, what do you have to gain by defending the vibrant millionaire Palin thugs from an anonymous comment? As you trolls usually say, get a life.
DeleteTodd doesn't stand a chance of even placing anymore. He's an old man now competing against younger and stronger teams and who are better mechanics ;). Time to step aside and let the younger guys and gals play.
ReplyDeleteDid Todd ever race for the sportsman ship or challenge? What is in it for Todd? Product placements, getting business partner Sarah a place on Republican ticket. He is about making arrangements and deals.
DeleteI see the truly ignorant were let out today.
Delete3:09, look in the mirror
Delete3:09 AM The truly ignorant stays up all night 'fapping' to all things Palin. Get A Life, All Night Troll. Todd Palin has his 'working girls' already. Were you in Nome?
DeleteSo the AIP Patriots threw the American Flag into a corner behind a sledge hammer? What a group of Patriots.
DeleteObviously, there wasn't anything "in it" for Tawdry, except for his post-race interview for the Sp"u"rtsman Channel that was filmed while the race was still on-going.
ReplyDeleteI've read that he spent time with his new girlfriend in Nome while the real men were still racing. I sure hope they got that on camera!
Oh so the troll was right he was in Nome! with his babymama! I thought it was a meth and ho drop off.
Delete'Cause we all know, "What's in it for us" never does anything for free! Was this a new GF or babymama? I think tawdry shoots blanks no cojones and all and since none of those kids are his...
His GPS showed he went to Wasilla.
DeleteI thought the GPS showed his PARTNER was in Wasilla?
DeletePhoto Caption:
DeleteSarah: "Here's the guys doing some last minute wrenching before the start of the 2000-mile long Iron Dog race tomorrow! And taking a break to "fuel up" on (the usual) moose chili and blueberry pie."
No Sarah, it appears they are standing around with their dicks in their hands, posing for pictures with a piece-of-shit motorized sled. It's difficult to tell if this is a "before-" or an "after-the-circle jerk" shot of "the boys who will be boys". "Wrenching" is just a euphemism for whatever the boys are actually doing when they're supposed to be working on the sled.
And I'll bet twice the amount of my monthly contributions to SarahPAC that not one of those lazy, lyin' non-wrenching brokedicks is standing around talking about how he's looking forward to eating ex-Mrs Todd Palin's moose-crap-with-Hormel-in-a-can thingy.

DeleteCrankshaft bearing? Are they sure? Todd the Loser needs to retire from the Young Man's Race. Pimping has taken a toll on him.
ReplyDeleteCrankshaft bearing? That is what they called a 'rare' mechanical problem? Why didn't he know that sooner? Why was Kastner flummoxed when he didn't know where Todd was for a couple of hours?
DeleteSomeone had to screw up big time or screw big time with the skidoo.
Obama did it!
DeleteOK = I'm about as far away from being a mechanic as one can be. however, I have even heard of a crank shaft bearing....so that is hardly a foreign language Sarah!! lol.
DeleteInteresting since at least one of the top 5 teams had an older racer
DeletePlease, your ignorance kills
Anon 6:09, please explain why Todd and his sponsor were in Nome, providing SUPPORT for the fellow racers. Scott Davis, another one who had to scratch, went to Nome too.
DeleteNome, providing SUPPORT
DeleteThat is what they do. In Toad's case he poses to look like he is giving support, he may high five his bro. Just because there is a picture doesn't mean anything. He looked stoned. Who knows what kind of support he had to give. What ever he did, they will call it support because that is what they do. They aren't going to make waves or speak out of line.
3:10 AM Ignorance is being awake at 3:10 AM to defend your Palin Idols. Please explain why Todd was with his Date(25 years old) in Nome. Is that why 'the family' was in Fairbanks instead of Nome?
DeleteYeah, Nome is small enough that it's hard to get lost in the crowd. And when the ex-half-term-quitter governor's ex-husband shows up with a sweet young thing on his arm, people are going to know. Open secret.

A little off topic here but i just had to say i found The Idiots flag shoes on ebay! for only 15.49! yes that's right she is that cheap, and the best part is they are made in China! . Let's give a Bronx cheer to Sarah the mostest, bestest patriotic woman evah!
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing.
I love it! More hypocrisy from the Queen, herself.

DeleteGina M please check it out.

ReplyDeleteHe does resemble his Dad, Curt.
DeleteYou are disgusting. Stop slandering innocent people
Delete3:12 Good patriot, go report to Bristol's blog or Sarah's Fb page to tell them how you defended their (haha) honor on some random thread today.
DeleteThe Palins slander by omission. They lie by omission. They could clear up matters if they could allow the truth.
DeleteBullshit runs in this family and, apparently, in their associates.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the moose stew reaction. Usually, you get that reaction in two days..Todd only made it 24 hours.
DeleteHey, Sally in MI--I think it was "moose chili" this time, though between the moose chili, moose stew, moose stroganof, moose tacos, moose flapjacks, moose salad and moose mousse... That rill 'laskan cookin' can git confusing.
Delete"Crank shaft bearing failure" is like another language? What? Even I understand what that means and I don't know much at all about cars or machines.
ReplyDeleteEverything Sarah Palin writes or says is so damned affected.
What, Miss Frontier Woman is confuzzled by a little "mechanic speak"?
DeleteTo $carah, English is a foreign language.
DeleteWonder if that's the same 'group of guys" who put up the Palin mansion out of leftover ice arena materials, or who helped macho man with his fence to keep Joe from spying on poor little Pipsqueak? See, they eat like men, they dress like men, but they are not mechanics, builders, or anything else. Especially the short one.
ReplyDeleteI think they helped Odd Palin build a fence.
DeleteAs a matter of fact, one of guys who helped out on the house on the dead lake WAS a tradesman of some sort (can't remember now, it was a long time ago) who worked on the North Slope with Dudd Palin and also raced in the Iron Dog at least once but of course not with Dudd. His name is so ordinary that I could never remember it. Maybe one day I'll have time to go through all the entrants for the Iron Dog for the last ten years or whatnot.
DeleteDoes anyone know what exactly Todd Palin did on the North Slope? He doesn't seem to have any marketable skills. Was he runny a bawdy house at one of the camps?
DeleteThere is an account of him peeping on the women in the shower. Maybe that was his job.
DeleteNah...the peephole incident was in Dillingham, where married Todd was coming on to all the women.
DeleteHey, she didn't say a friction' word about how much money they raised for breast cancer..was that not the point two weeks ago? Such a fraud. Such a lying creepy woman.
ReplyDeleteGreat point, Sally. As usual, $arah tosses out fake bits about $upporting some cause but then does NO follow up .... and sadly, nor does anyone else, it seems. Can anyone find out how much money "was raised for breast cancer" by this half term, hypocritical lying half wit???
DeleteCould have been worse! Imagine the Tundra Turd trying explaining that Todd had a bent rod and had to make a premature withdrawal!
ReplyDeleteHa ha!!
Delete"rarely seen." Because Todd couldn't have had a normal engine failure. Nosirree. It was rare.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Todd, but since I know nothing about crank shaft bearings, I read about them ans learned that they could fail from wear, dirt or friction. Being an experienced snow machine mechanic, after all that practicing and practicing, what din't Todd and his buddy make sure that they'll started the race with newly installed, fresh bearings? And how about carrying spare parts and some wrenches along to make repairs instead of running home?
ReplyDeleteDidn't $arah say herself that he's been preparing for this for months? Happens when you're divorced.....and lie.
DeleteAnother door slammed shut. One would think they'd learn.
Ski-doo gave them used machines? Sure Toad...
DeleteToo much wrenching could cause friction, just sayin.
DeleteMaybe he was wenching........
DeleteAlways use the right lube when wenching. Don't want seized galled or stripped fastener!
DeleteWe has wenching and his crank shaft lost it's bearings? Well that explains it.
DeleteHe zoomed right on back to Wasilla. Even the die-hard IC from c4p who was live blogging it was baffled.
ReplyDeleteI guess she had no idea that the Sportsman's channel was waiting for Todd's close up.
How odd! I just checked the hundreds and hundreds of Facebook pics of the teams' support crews (even air support) and there wasn't even a mention of Todd Palin, much less a photograph of him doing anything "in support mode for others". The few people I know who were at the finish line all said they never saw any Palins there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in the next week I'll quiz the crews of the leading teams about Todd Palin's "support mode for others". Maybe I'll also ask them about the year that Todd Palin cheated, I'm sure none of them have forgotten that.
The only picture I saw of Todd, he did look lost. Someone commented he had no focus. Stoned or high was more like it. He must have supported his snowbuds with something from Track's services.
DeleteMaybe "in support mode" really means "supplied hookers and meth".
DeleteAnonymous6:32 PM
DeleteMaybe "in support mode" really means "supplied hookers and meth".

I'm sure that's what it means!
She walks like an ape. She's covering Todd's tracks to make him sound like such an Iron Dog hero, out there cheering the other guys on. Her constant need to make excuses makes Todd's race suspicious.
ReplyDeleteShe must have been furious when he came back. Sarah is supposed to be the only one who quits in that family, except for Bristol who quits everything and Track who quits everything and then there's Willow who quit high school but did go to hair school . . . .
DeleteBeaglemom
How does one crack or break a crank shaft bearing? It had to have hit something pretty hard to have broken. These machines are made for brutal beatings. I guess Ski-Doo Co. won't be using Todd to market his machines anymore.
ReplyDeleteA new machine, ready to go, and a part just breaking at the first 100 miles? I don't think so. Toddy couldn't take the heat and his crank blew so now Sarah blames something else.
It had to have hit something pretty hard to have broken. (crank shaft)
DeleteNot a word about any accident or hit. The head official didn't even know where Todd was or if he scratched.
It all happened so fast. Is there a timeline that can be trusted? It looks like todd went a few miles and headed for home. Is Huntington in on the fake race crap or was he set up?
For certain this Iron Dog is the worst most corrupt racing organization in history. Read about how this went down. The top official will cover Palins. He works for or is HD Alaska. They are more in it for the filming and not about the race. Why would any serious racer tolerate this? Especially now that enough has been revealed.
The part about Todd supporting and helping the other racer is for show, it is absurd and as far from reality as it gets.
Expose the scum and stop them from dragging Alaska down any further.
Iron Dog sux and covers for the filming of this fraud.
in a two stroke motor the crank bearings are lubricated from the oil/gas mix. As with most modern two stroke sleds they are all oil injected so you don't have to do the mixing. Sooo either the oil line had an air bubble in it, that or the crank was severely out of balance, but this dipshit should've felt the excess vibration with an out of balance crank, that and they should've pre-run the sled prior to the event enough that had there been an air bubble in the oil line the motor would've self destructed before they ever got to the start line ... so either the master mechanic todd is a dipshit ( wait, he's always been one of those ) or i call bullshit on the crosseyed lyin' skanks excuse for their dropping out of the event
DeleteIt happened within the first 80 miles!
DeleteI suspect "someone" tampered with it.
I think the Payme family is about to reap what they sow!
Oh well....
Do you think Huntington's machine was tampered with? He must trust and not question his team mate. Todd would not want his machine to fail.
DeleteWhatever it is, Alaska must get to the bottom of it and answer questions. If Kastner back peddles on his first reaction that would be a tell.
At worst he is running a flaky race that can only fail more. He had no communication with the Toad (Huntington) for 2 hours. He did not know what was happening. What kind of race does that?
If anyone has examples of other races that don't keep track of their racers please link.
So far the trolls are only throwing out moosecrap and no back up.
Is Sarah big enough to include the Iron Dog winners on her Amazing TV show, even if they aren't Todd and Tyler? There is that Alaska tax break incentive. Maybe someone else in the family did something amazing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Joey Junker supplied the Drugs for the Irondog parties.
DeleteKevin Kastner covers for Todd. He thinks he is going to bring these whimps on pollution machines up to the real endurance deal. Not going to happen. Too bad there is so much corruption in Alaska and no one can expose this sham. No race has their celebrity disappear for an hour or so and there is no media attention. Just cover up, like most everything Palin.
Delete"Is Sarah big enough to include the Iron Dog winners on her Amazing TV show, even if they aren't Todd and Tyler?"
DeleteUm, no.
Who in all creation feeds two men about to race 2000 miles chili and blueberry pie? Todd farted and blew his partner off the skidoo with the stink bomb. Bullshit on the crankshaft, wrenching and whatnots she was babbling about.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the incentive to make it to the finish line? A kiss from a stick figure with fake boobs and flag heels?
At least Todd got some "man time" away from Sarah in the warmth of his own kitchen and hangar.
"Go Daddy"!!!!!
Moose chili Texas style? Wooo weee that would make some very potent di di! Who in their right mind would eat that before starting out on a 2000 mile trip with no bathrooms??
DeleteWho in their right mind would eat that before starting out on a 2000 mile trip with no bathrooms??

The Domionists think Alaska is one big toilet. They can shit anywhere.
A dog doesn't shit in its front yard but the payme family sure does!
Its about to come back to bite them big time. I think this was a warning to tawdry.
Is that the American flag thrown over in the corner dragging on the floor? Think they'd be more careful of the pictures they post. WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!

Before the John R Johnson post, Kevin Kastner (he would have been informed of every second and he would know every little thing if this was a legit race organization) did not know where Todd was for 1 to 2 hours. Kastner did not know about Todd scratched.
DeleteKastner is lead official of Iron Dog and heads an HD filming gig. Of course, they aren't about filming propaganda or collecting film tax perks.

DeleteWhile looking for something else I came across this from CNN. Poor Sarah and Todd, people just don't like them.
ReplyDelete"Iron Dog" or "Dirty Dog?"
http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-211158
Here's the real story. But it makes the rest of their story even more bullshit.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/palin-huntington-hit-early-iron-dog-trouble-drop-out-of/article_3ed9bcb8-983b-11e3-948c-0017a43b2370.html?mode=jqm
"The problem was with Huntington's machine, he said. At first they thought it was electrical, perhaps a bad exhaust temperature sensor that prevented the machine from running at full speed, said Compeau, the state's largest Ski-Doo dealer. They towed the machine back to Skwentna, declared a six-hour layover, and arranged to have a new sensor brought out by snowmachine.
When that didn't fix the problem the two riders decided to tow the wounded machine back to Palin's shop in Wasilla to work on it, even though it was against race rules to do so because it's not an official checkpoint and it's not on the Iron Dog trail. When they still couldn't figure out the problem by late Monday afternoon, Huntington and Palin officially pulled the plug."
Here's the starting time........ http://www.irondog.org/event-info/iron-dog-start-information/ Go down to the pro class and you'll see the first team didn't leave until 11:10.
Now here's the official checkpoint times. http://www.irondog.org/checkpoint/skwentna/
Huntington/Palin arrived at 4:16 PM and checked out at 10:38 PM. Now whenever they got there, 4:16 PM it seems, they had to call ahead for a "sensor" and wait for it to be delivered by snow machine. The average racer traveled about 60 mph over that stretch, so by the time they called, got the part ordered and somebody ran it out to them it had to be 6PM at a minimum. then they had to tinker and figure out the machine still wasn't running. So at 6:30 or 7PM they decided to tow the machine back to Todds place which is another 20 miles or so past the start with the plan to get back into the race? Bullshit! Because first of all it was already dark and Todd was towing Huntington's machine. Now they may have averaged 60 in the daylight while racing, but at night towing another machine I doubt they were even doing 20. So it would have taken them over 5 hours to get to the Palin's. That would bring us to midnight and they supposedly were going to change a crank shaft bearing and get back in the race? Bullshit!
By 8 PM there were already teams in McGrath. That is 360 miles into the race. There is no way they went to the Palins to fix the machine and return to the race. Besides, The Palins shop isn't an official checkpoint so it would be illegal for them to go there to do repairs, not that that would stop Todd Palin. But it was already "late afternoon" when they checked back into Skwentna to supposedly wait for parts to They never left Skwentna with the intention of getting back in the race. It's all Bullshit! The whole story.
Who knows what emergency made Todd decide he had to get home. But I doubt they even had an engine problem. and to mistake an exhaust sensor problem for a crankshaft bearing problem is out of the question for a mechanic that knows what they are doing.
But if the failed sensor led to a run lean condition maybe you could cook that bearing (2 stroke) before the EMS (don't remember what Skidoo calls it) knows there is a problem. Another way to have this bearing failure, an air leak in the bottom end could also wipeout the bearing before the warmup was complete, maybe also not setting any error codes or idiot warnings until after reaching operating temperature (due to cold start enrichment). Race done before the engine is even warmed up.
DeleteLooked at the race rules as soon as they were reported hauling to Wasilla and hauling to Wasilla to do repairs didn't seem to be covered- did they take an observer with them to prevent unauthorized help? The whole episode was lol.
The FeK9 rules say no swapping complete motors,only component parts- don't know if they could have swapped the complete crank assembly or would they have needed to rebuild the existing crank?
Of course it would be an OH SHIT moment if they were getting the bad warnings before they even left. With the cameras there, knowing your race was over before you started, and Juicy Lou is expecting you to hep bring home the bacon for her new hit tv show!!!
Anyway no doubt this ridonkulos foolishness was all about the drama footage for Sarah's newest tv show. It will be interesting to see how they edit it, many of the people watching that channel will know mechanical and racing bullshitting when they see it.
What the cameras probably caught- will probably never be seen.
Sarah: FIX IT
Todd: Can't.
Sarah: Cameras! Snowmachines!
Todd: Bad Crank! No Go Today!
Sarah: What you always are saying. Your damn crank. Did you wear it out before the race?!
Todd: &*!!
Sarah: Got an idea! Get in trucks and drive!
Todd: ???
Sarah: Now already! I told them you would probably win this race and now I look like an incompetent fool!
Todd: ;-)
Sarah: Two tone!
Todd: Ok guys! Load up before she goes Lorena Bobbitt on all of us!
My point was, no matter what if any mechanical problem they had, the timeline doesn't match up with their story in any way. They couldn't have done everything they said they did and get back to the shop in Wasilla and then decide to retire from the race by the late afternoon. This is all a cover story and one that wasn't well thought out. But no Palin cover story ever is.
DeleteI agree with you 100%. The whole episode is another half baked Palin brain fart.
DeleteI do think it isvery possible that they had a big problem (maybe even cooked an engine) early in the race. Accident? Intentional? Who knows.
Did they plan to quit and not run the race? I doubt it, I think Sarah gets her quit genes from both Creepy Chuck and her silent mother.
Why would you even think a racer would make a fake attempt at a race they love?
ReplyDeleteThe iron dog is serious business. This post just shows how nasty Gryphen is and how non-Alaskan he is at heart bby attacking hundreds of good racers who just want to race
Hundreds of racers who have not spent all year carrying purses and not training like Todd?
DeleteYou don't know over the years how much has been promotion and PR. Todd has been known to cheat, who knows how much cheating went on? He may have never had a legit win. He may love the show he puts on and the race he 'loves' for what is in it for him. All These events are about money. Sure athletes that love the sport do participate but Todd is a performer. There is nothing except Sarah, minions word and photo ops about him spending months preparing, wrenching, supporting, being charitable and so on.
DeleteDo you trust the Palins? Now the chief official needs to be investigated. How and why did he lose track of his top salesman? Todd is the main racer to help him bring Iron Dog up to Iditarod class.
3:05 AM Why would a Governor Fake a Pregnancy?
DeleteDoes that answer your question, Troll?
Hundreds of racers? You aren't an Alaskan, are you? This year's race featured 82 entrants (41 teams). How is Gryphen "attacking" them? You sound like a Palin--any ugly truth put out about them, they see as an "attack." Sorry, honey--no attack--just truth. The truth is what the Palins fear. That's why the family troll is here trying to spin this like crazy.

ReplyDeleteAnd this post gives more proof that Gryphen knows zilch about real Alaskan things.
Todd is a loser and a pimp.
DeleteI live in Alaska and Todd Palin isn't a celebrity or a top racer. Not for a few years. And Gryphen is much more a "real" Alaskan than any of those fakey, "moose chili"-eatin' Palins with their constant "I'm Alaskan and I'm so awesome" schtick. It is quite nauseating to actual Alaskans.

In reality Todd Palin infamous, he is not a celebrity. He is promoted as a celebrity to give Kastner some bling to push his snow machine race to surpass sleds. It is all hype for sales. Greed, fame and money.
DeleteHey Gryphen, how would YOU explain engine failures in other teams at the starting line? That happens YEARLY.
ReplyDeleteYOU are disgustingly ignorant and anti-alaskan
YOU are a putz who lives nowhere near Alaska.
DeleteSaid the nasty, insulting, non-Alaskan troll.

DeleteHey shit 4brains,
Sarah is UNAlaskan...she live in AZ. She is only in AK b/c of Dairygate and Senate primaries. THATS all.
She couldn't even be bothered to come to AK when her father had heart surgery!
Every year the scratchies break the rules and disappear. They all secretly scurry home to Mommie Dearest to fuel up on chilli moose. No one that cuts out early has in contact with officials for hours and they do not let their status known to top officials. Business as usual for a corrupt race. Or is it special favors for Sarah and Todd and filming in HD?
DeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteWhy are idiots here namedropping people they don't know? Why doesn't anyone call Gryphen out for his ignorance into real Alaskan life?
Sigh.
Since Gryphen actually DOES live in Alaska, he lives real life there. I doubt you live anywhere near Alaska.
Delete3:14 AM 'ALL NIGHT TROLL' you seem to love the words idiot and ignorance. You have more than represented your share of idiot and ignorance. Obviously you have a Sad Palin Worshiping Life with no rewards for your ass kissing. Even the Palins think that you are Crazy. Who else stays up all night typing insults and untruths? You want to be a part of that Dysfunctional Palin Family so much that you will LIE and Threaten anyone who disagrees with your stupidity.
Delete"You want to be a part of that Dysfunctional Palin Family so much that you will LIE and Threaten anyone who disagrees with your stupidity."
DeleteRight on. I use the amount of outrage exhibited by the troll to gauge how close to the truth we are getting. Good post, Gryphen!
PS--I AM an Alaskan, So is Gryphen. Who are you--Anon 3:14--to know what a "real" Alaskan is? Here's a hint--we eat more than moose chili and blueberries.
3:14 is most likely an out-of-work actress living in Florida.
DeleteSo they call a snowmobile race a "hunt"? What are they hunting? Any animal with brain cells would hear them miles away and head off in the opposite direction I would think.
ReplyDeleteAnd what did Todd do to when "he jumped into support mode" to help his "fellow"? I thought he and his buddy went back to Wasilla. Maybe just leaving the race was his way of supporting it.
Beaglemom
"hunt" ? ? ? ?
Deletehttp://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-211158
They sure are killing much Alaska has to be proud. They really do hate Alaska and hide behind the fake frontier strong man facade.
Just $carah's usual difficulties with English and hyperbole where anything (Puke)Palin is concerned. "He then flew up to Nome to support the other racers by waving at them from the finish line, joining in the after race parties for the free food and beer, and getting his mug in the pics so SkiDoo won't stop giving them free stuff."
ReplyDeleteYou forgot: "...and hang out with his latest sweetie at the after-hours parties."
DeleteWhat's his sweetie's name? Joey?
DeleteThey say couples grow more like each other every year - so now Toad's a quitter just like $carah......

ReplyDeleteBe sure to also look at anon 12:19am with the FDNM and other links.
DeleteNow that the Iron Dog is through, what will Todd do? Find Shailey Tripp and hook up again?
ReplyDeleteHey, Todd is working on stuff ok.He was counting on that prize money you know so as we speak he is contacting Sally Struthers to help out with a Feed The Palins fund raising campaign. Moose chili only goes so far and the Palins are still needing your help for a mere 21 dollars a month which breaks down to 70 cents a day you can help! in exchange you will receive a n updated picture of Trig and a secret decoder ring so that you may fully understand the word salad of Sarah! if you up your pledge to 25 dollars a month you get an autographed 5x7 photo of Sarah { black and white color costs more} so won't you help?

Did Toad run back to Wasilla because he had an identical back-up snowmobile to replace his broken snowmobile but was caught?
ReplyDeleteWho knows? A legit racing organization would have a legit investigation and answer all questions.
DeleteHe knew going to Wasilla was a violation and he would be nixed if this was a legit operation. Going to Wasilla was a cheat, his motives must be investigated. He may have gone to Wasilla knowing it would violate him and take him out of the race that way.
In any event the officials of a legit race would be told immediately he was going off track, which is quitting. Instead they are going silent and not talking about the hours Todd was MIA for officials. Also no discussion about when he knew he was going to Wasilla and went silent about his status and whereabouts.
Where are the links to other races that run their events like this? Todd is a pimp but he is promoted as the Iron Dog celebrity. So why all the funny business and no one talks about it? They all just pull rank like a bunch of bad cops protecting their own rapist or thief.
How do these losers think this can possibly progress Alaska?
Todd Palin is a hero in these parts, don't belittle his name and reputation.
ReplyDeleteBy "these parts," do you mean your genitals?
DeleteLOL at Anon 8:42. Did your daddy make you post that? As an Alaskan, I can say with certainty that Todd Palin is nobody's hero.
DeleteIt's hard to belittle someone who is already so insignificant.

Mike have you seen Sarah lately? It'll take a whole bottle of Viagra to get it up after looking at that old bitty.
Is that why Todd visited Shailey?

Todd is like his wife.
Todd is a loser just like his wife.
Todd is a loser just like his family.
DeleteFuck Toad.
DeleteFuck the Palins.
DeleteKevin Kastner says the conditions are bad, there is no snow (I suppose he would have a swim meet in a pool with no water). Yet no snow doesn't stop racing snowmachines. Why don't they have a back up since they are destroying Alaska and should not plan on good snow conditions? Instead of snowmachines these men could race Riding Lawn Mowers.
ReplyDeleteIt seems stupid to race snowmachines without good snow condition. Are they all in denial about the climate and changes? You never hear Todd talk about the reality of what man does and the effects on the state of Alaska. Where does he show any love for Alaska?
You never hear Todd talk about the reality of what man does and the effects on the state of Alaska.
DeleteWhat do you expect? Todd can't even pronounce "helicopter" correctly with his girly voice
Sarah did 10 publicity pieces for Palin brand and not one mention of the climate effecting the snowless snow race?
DeleteTodd knew how bad the conditions are and he wasn't going to waste his time sitting on that miserable ride.
I would like to know if his partner, Tyler Huntington, knew his machine had to be the one with a rare crank shaft. Was it unknown to Tyler he was set up to take the fall while they violated and went home?
Tyler didn't let the official know where he was? They both knew it was over when Todd went to Wasilla. There is no excuse they didn't just call it a scratch if they wanted to go home.
They cheated and there is no mention they have consequences for bad sportsmanship. They all lie when they say they support one another.
That is not support when there is a liar and a cover up.
Thomas Dedea > Sarah Palin
ReplyDelete22 minutes ago · It's disappointing what many in this Country didn't see in you. I liked you very much as someone who could have guided us in a positive direction. I would vote for you for President
Tom thank God we seen through that fraud. Just imagine having that retard in Washington DC makes us sick.
America needs to thank the few in Alaska who weren't afraid of the Palins. They were the ones who revealed what John McCain was hiding from the American people.
DeleteThat idiot could only recite what she was told and Sarah Palin couldn't even do that right.
DeleteAll Sarah could do was wink and stick her tongue out.
DeleteI wish there were more Alaskans who were afraid of her.
DeleteWere NOT afraid of her, I mean.
DeleteHow come Sarah Palin wasn't a walking billboard at the 2014 Iron Dog like the time she was governor of Alaska?
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to say what the film crews had planned. I do think someone threw a wrench in Alaska HD and Sport Channels plans for a better ending. When will we see Trig selling Go Daddy? At least they still have that.
Delete10:30am
DeletePoor little Trig. He has FAS and Down Syndrome. Wonder why they don't show him off as a poster child for FAS? They are so proud of the Downs but not the FAS. Weird that, huh?
Team #11 Palin/Huntington had to leave the hunt early due to a rarely seen crank shaft bearing failure (yes, these racers are mechanics speaking their own language), so they jumped in support mode for others in the extended family of hardcore endurance racers.
ReplyDelete-Sarah Palin
Huh? I thought Todd ran home to Wasilla like a little bitch.
Alaska is so wild there are no state or federal agents to oversee crooked and criminal games?
ReplyDeleteHow do you think the Mafia made billions?
It wasn't only booze, drugs, selling humans. They were big on games and fixing the odds. What do you think henchmen like Cindy McCain's father did and how he got his distributorship? How do you think John McCain was set up? Todd and Kevin are just doing an Alaskan version.
Alaska is so wild there are no state or federal agents to oversee crooked and criminal games?
DeleteYou mean like hiring your unqualified high school friends for high level jobs in the state government? Who cares? What's the worst thing that can happen? Fuck up the agriculture industry?
Did Todd have a cell phone during the race? How come he didn't notify the race officials that he was going home?
ReplyDeleteIf Todd didn't have a cell phone on the race course (not believable), then why didn't he immediately call the race officials from the Wasilla Piggly Wiggly Store or nearest gas station instead of going home?
If an Iron Dog racer goes off course to modify his snowmachine, is that legal?
ReplyDeleteIt is if you are a Palin.
Delete1022 I don't know the term but it is not according to the play book.
DeleteThe way the top dog at Iron dog is handling matters it appears rules and such don't matter if you are a Todd Palin or the top dog is filming. Alaskans must ask for the facts and not more shady dealings.
Ask and they will receive. If they get more lies, ask again. Don't give up on this Alaska and sport and game lovers everywhere.
How come Track does not race in the Iron Dog like his father?
ReplyDeleteBecause Curt Menard Jr didn't race in the Iron Dog.

Who oversees cheating in the Iron Dog? Hope it's not the Anchorage Police Department. We know what happened in the Shailey Tripp Todd Palin incident.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, if Todd's snowmachine was broken during the race then how did he make it to Sarah Palin's house? I thought it was broke?
ReplyDeleteWhy do people keep saying Sarah Palin's house? Is it because she paid for it and unemployed Todd didn't?
DeleteSarah paid for her houses.
DeleteBristol paid for her houses.
What did Todd pay for?
Anon @ 11:09 A.M. - NO, the AK Taxpayers paid for those domiciles via grifted "film credits"!! Those two losers are too lazy and stupid to have a job; they QUIT to grift other peoples' money!
DeleteHuntington's may have been sabotaged. They hauled it to to a place where it was a violation or worse. That is the compound on the lake where Track lives with buddies. The garage where Sarah alleges they wrench and a few houses with apartments.
DeleteIt was actually his race partner's snow machine that broke down, but it doesn't make it any less suspect, his behavior after the breakdown.
DeleteStop picking on Todd. At least the old dude tried to race. He's not like his wife who's always announcing that she going to run for president and senator but always finds a way to chicken out.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin didn't chicken out. Sarah Palin never registered to run for the Senate or presidential election because she knows she doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning. There is a difference.
DeleteBeing chicken means you're scared.
In Sarah's case she knows she can't win so why even try.
I wouldn't invest my money into any ventures of Toad's.
ReplyDeleteFailed car wash business.
Failed snowmachine business.
Loses one prostitute and has another failed business.
Todd failed as a reality action star and Iron Dog racer.
ReplyDeleteSarah failed as a sportscaster, mayor, governor, vp candidate, mother and reality star.
Track failed as a war hero and father.
Bristol failed as a virgin, fiance, mother, dancer and reality star.
Willow dropped out of high school.
No wonder John McCain won't endorse Sarah Palin for president.
Seems like Sarah Palin's coattails got smaller after she quit her governor's job.
DeleteKilling the planet, melting Alaska with Todd Palin is an epic fail!!!!
ReplyDeleteIditarod dogs and their humans rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Palins are the First Family of Alaska then I would hate to see the Second Family of Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be indelicate, but there is an entire "groupie" class of women that follow the ID race to Nome and then to Fairbanks and they are ready, willing and able to do anything with anyone for the small fee of a few free drinks. Mrs. Palin wasn't in Nome but she was in Fairbanks so Todd couldn't get his "groove" on in Fairbanks, but seriously, because Nome is off the road system and many family units of the ID racers don't travel up there, it is simply a "free for all" of pussy and booze in Nome.
ReplyDelete1:16 Have never heard the Palin's referred to as the First Family of Alaska. And, I don't think they even use that term in Alaska! Makes me laugh! They are the WORST example of a family anywhere!
