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.

I think the key here is if the author stated it was his OPINION that she snorted coke or was doing an NBA star, he’d be covered, but since he is stating it as FACT, he better have some great sources that he can produce or his publisher is going to be paying Palin some serious change.
“Well, I imagine that we will be hearing from Mr. Rice soon.”
The article says he is quoted in the book saying the story is true. I suppose we’ll hear from him if he is being misquoted.
Good grief.
What is that I smell? Why, I believe it is the air of desperation. *rolls eyes*
There is no way she could successfully sue here. McGinnis knows that and can attack her with impunity. I expect that crap from a hack like him, but anyone on FR who gives these allegations the least bit of credence is a big-time troll.
Unless there was a table cloth, or something protecting the coke from the drum, it would be nearly impossible to snort coke from an oily drum. It’s difficult to snort paste up your nose!
Stand by for Bertelsmann links...
ROF!
Big deal.
Seriously . . . somebody come up with an example . . . even Third, Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Party.
And do you HONESTLY think she could pursue a lawsuit here? Empahsis on the word honestly here given the nature of your posts.
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'm not the one lapping up liberal MSM slime, troll.
Ask yourself a question: why are these allegations made about Palin and Nikki Haley but not about, say, Bachmann?
Man, you really are around the bend. Palin is a threat to their worldview. Haley, as governor of SC, is as well.
Oh, and last I checked, Bachmann gets slimed all the time as well, or maybe you missed that Newsweek cover.
It is really pathetic to see the smug idiocy of PDS trolls like yourself, trying to make points with the dregs from the MSM.

Worse even than not knowing how to spell "illicit" is calling "Glen Rice" a "top NBA star." This writer seemingly knows nothing about anything.
Author is an asswipe. Reporter reporting on asswipe's work is the ass on the asswipe.
Anyone with such great coordination would definitely get my vote.
McGinness has that saggy baggy eye and soft pudgy physical appearance that creeps me out. Journalist/writer types seem to melt into that shape after years of cigarettes and alcohol use while stuck in a darkened room typing under a single light bulb. Kind of like an alcoholic caffeine addicted mole.
