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 pretty much agree with your comments. In the overall scheme of things though, it would bother if these things were true. I’m not a supporter so it wouldn’t cost her my support.
Your comments on Obama’s admissions are reasoned IMO. People should know who they are voting in.
This guy did not get covered very well in 2008. The media does have a lot to answer for.
The problem for me was that most of these charges were based on comments from the locals. Who are these locals? Are they Democrats? Are they union members? Are they people who were way down on their luck, looking for a small moment of fame?
Rather than pay attention to this noise, I’d rather let it blow over, and see what’s still percolating after a few months.
Whatever is of substance, I’ll evaluate that in due course.
If the NYTimes is shooting much of this down, it’s either to give this writer what he deserves, or to highlight what the Time finds real and very troublesome later on.
Another shoe might drop from the Times, in time.

Conservatives have long ago caught on to the media’s games and short of murder, she won’t be hurt by this.

Depends on who she murders.
