Reports that Track Palin vandalized school buses aren't true, says pal

Despite snowballing reports and rumors, Sarah Palin's eldest son, Track, was not part of the gang of four teenagers who criminally vandalized 44 Alaska school buses in 2005, a key culprit told The News.
"Track wasn't with me. Track had nothing to do with it," participant Deryck Harris, 20, said Wednesday in an exclusive interview.
Citing an anonymous judicial source, the Anchorage radio station 1080 KUDO was the first to report last week that Track Palin was the unidentified 16-year-old delinquent who not only trashed the buses but also swiped the bottle of alcohol that fueled the teen rampage.
The National Enquirer will report his "involvement" in the "notorious" attack in its issue out Thursday.
"I was friends with him. We hung out. But he wasn't there," Harris said, describing the incident as a senior prank gone awry. "It was my high school mistake. It was a really bad choice. I've paid my restitution."
Harris was expelled from school, wore an ankle monitor for 90 days, had to pay $4,000 and is on probation for five years. For community service, he did construction work on the Wasilla Bible Church that the Palin family attends in Wasilla.
Track Palin, 19, graduated from Wasilla High, joined the Army last year and is set to leave for Iraq this Thursday. Gov. Palin boasted of her son's enlistment as she became John McCain's surprise pick for vice president.
The McCain-Palin campaign declined to comment on the issue.
But rumors quickly swirled Track was forced to join up as penance for the alleged vandalism.
"I talked to him before he joined, and he was trying to decide between the Marines and the Army. It was totally his decision," Harris, who now lives in Anchorage, said.
"Track Palin was not involved [with the vandalism]," confirmed Capi Coon, the mother of another Wasilla teen arrested for the destructive spree.
Authorities never identified the two other juveniles accused of deflating the tires on 44 buses, breaking mirrors and disconnecting the engine block heaters of 110 buses in sub-zero weather.
The incident forced the Mat-Su Borough School District, which includes Palin's hometown of Wasilla, to cancel school for a day, according to the local paper the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman.
Keep this up and by election day even the marginal Obama supporters will revolt leaving only the Marxist/Moonbat core to pull the D lever.
The media and the Democrats need to get a grip. I hope they don’t before November. But they do need to eventually.

What a great example of biased coverage. I not call what she said about him being in the army ‘boasting’ in way, shape or form.
It drives me crazy seeing how they slant and spin things. Then, I remember that they're doing it because they are so mad they could spit nails. I can just imagine how upset they must be, how much sleep they are losing over this Palin thing. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of bastards.
It doesn't provide total palliation for my dislike of the Lefties/MSM, but reminding myself of why they're doing it really does help me get past it!

Should we look into your past?
Should we look into your families past?
Did your dad drink a lot? Was your mother abusive?
Are you married? Did your husband cheat on you recently?
You are reaching.
Think of the movie THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE. “When the truth gets in the way of the legend, print the legend.”
Next thing you know, he’ll get a tattoo! Oh, the horror!
DemoRat lead investigator.
FWIW, your post picture does not come up.
A friend of a certain State Trooper perhaps? Or a big Obama supporter? Or maybe one of Murkowski's old cronies? Inquiring minds want to know.

I see. Palin sold them on e-bay to Hizzonner Ray Nagin back in ought-five.
Any news yet from the bottom feeders in Alaska on what Governor Palins youngest daughters deprotment grades were in first grade?
K ... but then the follow-up headline will read:
Track drinks slave-trade cappuccino from the polished skulls of baby seals....
What?!
Is there no depth of depravity to which this family will not sink?? My God! First, the incipient cannibalism, caught on tape, right in front of the whole county, and now this. Oh, the horror, the horror ....
The day that his unit will be deployed to Iraq, the National Enquirer will come out with this garbage. I guess his "involvement" is that he was in the same class with the ones who did it. The NE, as the leftists, know how to lie in a non-illegal way.
So, Sarah thought, “OK. I’m glad Mayor Nagin is getting these busses; he might just need to use them to evacuate New Orleans.”
