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.
As someone who actually has tried, let me tell you, you need scissors. Those damned things resist being removed. Now if you want to tell me the littlest one peed on the mattress, I'll believe it.
Pick random Palin family member {Todd, Sarah, Track, Piper, Bristol, Willow, Trig}, either a drug {heroin, crack, LSD, oxycontin, ecstacy, hashish, mushrooms, weed, or blow (no, not blow or weed, they're reserved for 0bama at his own request)} or a crime {murder, armed robbery, rape, vandalism, littering, DUI, clubbing baby seals out of season, or fishing without a license}, and a location {in the school, the capitol building, the police station, the tundra, ANWR, their church, or the Watergate Hotel}. String them together to form a random attack, throw it up on DU and Kos, and see how it plays on the evening news, since it's confirmed by two sources - one each on KOSmumists and DUmmies. That's where we get "Track used Oxycontin and vandalized a schoolbus inside the Capitol building", "Willow clubbed a baby seal in ANWR", and "Trig got a DUI in front of the school for the third year in a row (but no record because Satah covered it up)".
Stay tuned for tomorrow's announcement, when we will find out which Palin really led the Watergate break-in, and whether Sarah was anywhere near the grassy knoll in Dallas, or in MSNBCspeak, 'the questions people are raising about Sarah's location on that afternoon.'
Kinda like “Clue.”
My vote is Trig, with a club, at the Watergate.
KUDO is Anchorage leftist radio. Not surprised they were the source.
That’s a mighty big pile of Democrats. :)
1080 KUDO “Alaska”s Progressive Voice.” Anyone surprised?
no but I think he “organized” it.
oh, and by the way don’t call them a “gang” they’re a “community”
You got it. Latest rumor is that Willow had a secret love affair with a 57 year old math teacher who now works in Valdez, Alaska. Palin covered it up because he was a pentecostal. Their love child looked so much like Hitler that a UFO from Alpha Centauri spirited him away.
NEXT!
Oh crud, I can't believe I know this but...he already has one. It's a Jesus fish. Sarah mentioned it in the talk she gave at her church to the Master Commissioners (I think that's what it was called).
The old practice of the Judge saying "join up or go to jail" stopped a very long time ago.
FWIW, KUDO is the ANchorage AM radio equal of Daily Kos. MAybe even further into the Twilight Zone.
These guys are so far left, they make Carl Marx look like a Rush Limbaugh fan.
I don’t need to tell you what the DJs (female) really look like....(shudders and then gags)
But really, this has gotten beyond a joke...
The National Enquirer will report his “involvement” in the “notorious” attack in its issue out Thursday.

The National Enquirer got the John Edwards story right........they are good for 20 years.
“30 partisan attack dogs air-lifted into Nome, Alaska and all they can dredge up is more rumors on her children?”
I wish they would drop them into Nome. That’s 500+ airmiles from Anchorage and a pretty tough town. It makes Anchorage look like the garden of Eden.
I heard her speech too. I think she said he had TWO tattoos. Double horror!!!!!
love these “anonymous” sources.
it’s so easy to cite “anonymous” sources to slime someone.
Up around that area it’d be more like the Russian version of chai.
