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

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.”

Even if this claim is true -- that Burdett passed a lie detector test -- it only suggests that Burdett believes what he saying (or is comfortable enough saying it that he can fool a lie detector).

That is a totally different claim than saying that it's a true statement (which is why they carefully couch it). Burdett doesn't sound like a reliable witness... surprise, surprise.

I thought Democrats liked affairs.

I used to work with and date a beautiful woman, who's line was to use here very smart brain, curvasious body and her big brown eyes to get ahead (pun intended). Shortly after we broke up, driving down the freeway, at about 7 pm, here she was riding "shot gun" in my Vice President's car, off to an evening of 'no good" or maybe it was "very good evening". She later became President of a bank in Denver. Bless her heart. The guy between me and the VP was an airline pilot. We were standing in line at a bank party, when he leaned over to her and in more than a "stage whisper' said: "Stick with baby and you will be far**ing through silk."

Heaven knows how Sarah plays these same cards. Love it.

How about them dimples, so to speak! I love her feisty attitude and t-shirt.

A loving mother of five very well fed kids. Love it.

I want one of these for my car's bumper!

I missed her in Sturgis, SD, earlier this summer. Dang! I wonder if the "First (what't the other side of Dude) acutally drives that "Road Machine", as the "First Dude" rides a "Snow Machine" versus a "Snowmobile". Go figure. She could ride my Harley any time she wanted, if you get my drift.

Now here's a "slick guy as a kid"!

Now here's a "slick guy as a big kid"!

Now this has to be the totally worst picture of the prospective world leader that I have ever seek. Funny to friends, scary to the smart ones.

John S McCain is one lucky and hopefully our "First Dude" and our next POTUS.

That's little old me, howling at the moon.

Everytime the left pulls this crap, McCain/Palin ratings increase. This, too, will backfire on them.

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

Has he denied the more likely scenario that his wife beats him?

Ha! It's a fake quote. Look at the quote:

“Todd found out about the affair and was so mad he broke up their partnership at the snowmobile dealership,” Burdett claimed.

They call them snowmachines up there, not "snowmobiles". Disgusting bit of filthy yellow gutter journalism.
