Complete Headline: Sarah Palin snorted cocaine off 55 gallon oil drum and had affairs with NBA star and husband's business partner: Sensational claims in new book
Sarah Palin snorted cocaine off a 55 gallon oil drum while snowmobiling with friends and had elicit affairs with a top NBA star and one of her husband's business partners, a new book sensationally claims.
In revelations which could strike a devastating blow to the controversial politician's hopes of joining the 2012 presidential race, Mrs Palin is said to have snorted the class A drug off an oil drum with her husband.
Joe McGinniss's book The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, which is due to be published on September 20, also alleges that the former governor of Alaska is far from the traditional family woman she claims to be.
Mrs Palin, 47, had a one-night stand with Miami Heat basketball star Glen Rice less than a year before she eloped with her husband, the book claims.
She is said to have met the 6ft 8ins player in 1987 when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska and she worked as a sports reporter for KTUU television.
It is also claimed that she carried on an affair with Brad Hanson, who ran a snowmobile dealership with her husband Todd - a betrayal which led to Todd dissolving their business.

Bump what you said.
And with a blink of her eyes, she can make your brains drool out of your butt.
I am surprized they left out her “sexting” with “Big Daddy” McCain (McCain?cocain ...hmmm?)
Dude, after she QUIT HER JOB she became a private citizen once again.
The only deranged people on this thread are the Palinista cultists who are so far over the top that they are a hoot, actually.
I’ve laid off the snark for quite a while but sometimes it becomes irresistable.
Ask yourself a question: why are these allegations made about Palin and Nikki Haley but not about, say, Bachmann?
Could it be because some people’s reputations precede them?
She is a former governor. And a highly public figure. No way she can sue.
Nice try, but no stogie. Liberals learned long ago they can take pot shots at her with impuniy, and PDS trolls have decided they can reguritate the attacks over here as well.
LLS
Just sent $100 to SarahPac. Game On!
Hmmmmmmmmmm. I wonder when the gallant good ole boys in the Republican establishment are going to come out and publicly defend her honor. Oh, that’s right. We don’t have any gallant good ole boys in the Republican establishment.
If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity's very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
The only way to win this game is not to play. The perfect people on FR are already falling for it.
I caught that too (see Post #127).
Yeah we knew this years ago didn’t we kitty. ;D
Besides....... when it comes right down to it..... who hasn’t done all this stuff?
Must be nice to have lived a perfect life. You will get into heaven on your own merits, right? We ALL sin, God said the people who lie are as bad as adulterers. If she did this - which I do not believe - has she changed her life for the better since? If we can't forgive others of their past mistakes, God says he won't forgive us.
Do you have any proof that Obama even went to college???
“That’s not only funny but right on....”
Thanks.
I knew the moment that idea ocurred to me last winter that I would get Palinista teeth grinding with it. And it did.
I’ve laid off using it for a few months especially since with Sarah’s negatives there wasn’t any reason to get her cult stirred up. But the McGinness swill book just got me going, I guess.
I might even revive “Devine Diva of the Arctic” while I’m at it.
One second thought, naw-—61% of the electorate saqy they would never, ever vote for Palin.
I would say that’s all the put-downs we need for now.
Sorry dirtboy...I will concede that Palin is a public figure as defined by recent SCOTUS rulings, however, you may want to refresh yourself on the definition of:
libel 1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from slander which is oral defamation. It is a tort (civil wrong) making the person or entity (like a newspaper, magazine or political organization) open to a lawsuit for damages by the person who can prove the statement about him/her was a lie. Publication need only be to one person, but it must be a statement which claims to be fact, and is not clearly identified as an opinion. While it is sometimes said that the person making the libelous statement must have been intentional and malicious, actually it need only be obvious that the statement would do harm and is untrue. Proof of malice, however, does allow a party defamed to sue for “general damages” for damage to reputation, while an inadvertent libel limits the damages to actual harm (such as loss of business) called “special damages.” “Libel per se” involves statements so vicious that malice is assumed and does not require a proof of intent to get an award of general damages. Libel against the reputation of a person who has died will allow surviving members of the family to bring an action for damages. Most states provide for a party defamed by a periodical to demand a published retraction. If the correction is made, then there is no right to file a lawsuit. Governmental bodies are supposedly immune for actions for libel on the basis that there could be no intent by a non-personal entity, and further, public records are exempt from claims of libel. However, there is at least one known case in which there was a financial settlement as well as a published correction when a state government newsletter incorrectly stated that a dentist had been disciplined for illegal conduct. The rules covering libel against a “public figure” (particularly a political or governmental person) are special, based on U. S. Supreme Court decisions. The key is that to uphold the right to express opinions or fair comment on public figures, the libel must be malicious to constitute grounds for a lawsuit for damages. Minor errors in reporting are not libel, such as saying Mrs. Jones was 55 when she was only 48, or getting an address or title incorrect. 2) v. to broadcast or publish a written defamatory statement.
As stated by other posters, lawsuits have been successfully pressed against entities by “public figures”.
I think she has been wearing a custom made bullet proof vest recently. : )
LOL I don’t think you and I have done all this stuff, Ditter.
Bill Clinton’s reply...GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY GOO.
Well, I imagine that we will be hearing from Mr. Rice soon.
