Todd Palin Had an Affair, According to the National Enquirer (The hatred is just relentless)
Village Voice ^ | 01/21/2011 | Joe Coscarelli

The House of Palin is crumbling, at least if you're willing to believe the most notorious liars in media, the National Enquirer, who report today that Todd Palin, the famed "First Dude" and father of five, cheated on Sarah Palin, potential presidential hopeful, with a "female massage therapist who was busted for prostitution!" Shailey Tripp, the woman in question, does at the very least exist in Wasilla, Alaska, but beyond that, the tabloid's tip comes from an anonymous email address, thepalinmorals@hotmail.com, who writes: "My sources reveal that a massage therapist and computer technologist, SHAILEY TRIPP, had an affair with Todd Palin that lead (sic) to her arrest March of 2010." Could it be?

Probably not, but here's more from the Enquirer's online tease for their print issue (buy the issue, they say!):

"According to the tenants in the building of her offices, they saw Todd come and go often and heard noises that sounded like someone was having sex. It was the same tenants who called the police on her."

An ENQUIRER investigation has confirmed Tripp, 36, was arrested on March 4, 2010 in Anchorage and charged with maintaining a house of prostitution.

Tripp pleaded no contest on June 13, 2010 with sentencing set for June 15, 2011. She agreed to complete 80 hours of volunteer service, not post advertisements on CraigsList and pay a fine of $500. If she meets with these conditions, Tripp can withdraw her plea at the sentencing hearing and the case will be dismissed, records show.

Why post this trash? And why did I click on it. I’m off now to read the Globe, a truly fine publication.

and they did break the Limbaugh OxyContin issue which was widely debunked here but was largely true.

But it would be nobody else’s business even if it were true.

I think the only way that it could possibly be relevant would be if either spouse was running for office or occupying elected office. It's iffy even then, but scandals have a way of affecting one's performance, so I could see it being potentially important assuming it's true (which is a huge assumption).

Gov. Haley marched on despite more salacious direct allegations. They are just trying to throw everything conceivable at the Palins to see if they can keep her from running. My hope, of course, is that they don’t succeed.

Agreed. Nikki Haley handled everything perfectly. She denied it and didn't address it again in any substantive way.

Successful politicians don't respond to every rumor or insult. Trash talk is part of the political landscape and has been since Day One. It isn't going to change anytime soon. Politicians either get used to it or get out.

Right before the election in November, 2010, Reason magazine put together political ads for Thomas Jefferson & John Adams, using their own words from the election of 1800.

If you haven't see them, they are worth a look. Attack Ads, Circa 1800: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_zTN4BXvYI

Rather than giving me the benefit of the doubt, I suggest that you reread my posts on the thread. Good grief.

Honestly, that there are those on this site that would slander this man disgusts me. Haven't the Palins been through enough?

Idle and malicious "concern" gossip. I don't expect to see it here.

I think I'll visit the FReepathon thread for a while, dear onyx. :)

Laughs..there will still those that believe this person who could also be the hotmail sender could be legit!!

Great picture and I think you ruined some of the FR posters fantasizes..I guess women do seem to turn faster on Palin [new polls], so I guess I was wrong in thinking it had more to do with an urban demographic..

It's always the benefit of the doubt—believe the worst of someone no matter where the source "lies"..then over-analyze it.."well you know "she is famous now and blah blah he may be so lonely scenario...and men will stray and the "submissive thing" whatever that is..and blah blah blah..so and so posted it above so don't blame me for ..."[lol]

The Left in their blogs ROFL when they read some of the posts on here--as they accomplish what they set out to do..

I tried on Post #90, but pictures speak for themselves

Thanks onyx, can depend on you for some clarity..[lol]

Don't sweat it. The dems are just kicking off their 2012 re-election campaign and they know it can't be about their beloved tax hiking socialist policies. It will get much, much worse.

Don't retreat ... Reload!

***Somehow I can’t see a good-lookin’ dude like Todd having to pay for massages/sex with used-up prostitute skags.
They’d probably want to pay HIM.***

YEP! I’ve been waiting for them to attack such a good-looking dude just because he IS a good-looking dude. It’s amazing that they haven’t tried to hurt Sarah with this garbage before this.

Yes, they did in 08, I forget in which blog/mag, but the implication was that the Palin’s autistic child was the result of incest.

The pic speaks 100,000,000,000,000,000. words although mpo words were needed.

Two or maybe three months back, this same publication had WILLOW pregnant.
