Palin: No affair
thesun ^ | Sept 24 | EMILY SMITH

Posted on 09/24/2008 8:53:00 PM PDT by bahblahbah

VICE-President hopeful Sarah Palin has denied an affair with her husband Todd’s business partner.

The Republican candidate is furious over claims she cheated on Todd — dubbed the First Dude — in 1996.

The National Enquirer claims she had an affair with his snowmobile dealership partner Brad Hanson.

The magazine said it took place when Palin was mayor of home town Wasilla and started because she was “lonely” while Todd was away working on oilfields.

The alleged fling ended when Palin, 44, confessed to furious Todd. Palin denies ever cheating on Todd and Republican John McCain’s campaign has threatened legal action over the “vicious lie”.

The Enquirer quotes convicted thief Jim Burdett, a relative of Hanson’s wife, and said to have passed a lie detector test.

But Hanson, 46, insisted: “I never had an affair of any kind with Sarah Palin. Todd and I are friends.”

The story is believed to have been spread by Palin’s political rivals. McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt said: “The smearing of the Palins must end.”

Exactly its vicious smearing from the same folks who weren't curious about John Edwards' affair and who famously advised us Bill Clinton's adultery was "a private matter." But Sarah Palin's private life is open season for them!

“I’ve known about Brad having had an affair for a long time, but it wasn’t until just recently that I learned his affair was with Sarah Palin,” Burdett told The NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

Yeah, like 30 seconds after he heard about Palin being named vice-presidential candidate.

“VICE-President hopeful Sarah Palin has denied an affair with her husband Todd’s business partner.”

Yeah, and PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Barak Hussein Obama has denied an affair with a male prostitute and that he hasn’t stopped beating his wife.

Wow! That looks really easy to do. That alleging stuff.

I think I'll allege that Michelle Obama was boinking Joe Biden after she ceased from boinking Reverend Wright.

And further, I allege that Obama's daughters are really the progeny of Michelle and Chris Rock....allegedly...because a 'source' told me so.

Did you guys know that B. Hussein used to sell meth on Chicago's south side? Well, I'm not sure but it was published somewhere as an alleged story.....so it must be true.

Uh, but, it is the same folks (The National Enquirer) who broke open the news about John Edwards' affair.

Burdett is a former brother-in-law of Hanson’s estranged wife Carolyn's brother, Craig Batton...

Yeah, I really believe this Burdett guy, so closely related to Hanson, 'n all, and he did pass a polygraph test.

Damn National Enquirer, they get one thing right, Silky Pony's affair, and they start acting like they're a reliable news rag.

What could be on the lie detector test?

Good point, but in addition there is a reason why lie detector results are not admissible in a court of law.

To dignify this kind of crap with ink....even if it is bandwidth ink, is yellow journalism.

Who is Burdett......isn't that the same name of the guy that was source of Dan Rather's forged documents on Bush's National Guard service.

Unlikely any relation....but a WOW, huh! coincidence.

I don't believe any of this, but what's really bad is that the National Enquirer is as credible as the national newspapers and network television.

In fact, I don't see any difference. I never read/watch any of them. I haven't subscribed to a newspaper or a news magazine or watched network TV in years. I don't trust any of them to be truthful.

I am a believer in truth and do not consider it an attack if a story being told is credible but the attacks on Gov. Palin and her family are way over the line. Obama's campaign and his minions in the MSM are a bunch of sick puppies. I call them puppies because none of them measure up to being an adult canine.

I wouldn't lower myself to their standards against my worst enemy for power or money. How anyone could vote for that scum is beyond me. Anyone who would use the tactics, being used by the Democrats, to attain power must have some horrific sinister plans for the citizens of this country if they manage to win this election. The Dems are as bad as some third world dictator who will use any means at their disposal to gain and retain power.

I have seen some of these same tactics used here in my IN county by Dems to win election. They will lie and distort things to no end to win. They are disgusting but I don't think even they would go as low as the Obama campaign.

I wonder if the Winner PR machine had a hand in this, too. They are the ones responsible for posting, on Youtube, the video allegedly proving that Gov. Palin belonged to the “Alaskan Independence Party”. A story that has been debunked numerous times.
