Sarah Palin bedding a budding NBA star, snorting coke and cheating on the First Dude?
You betcha.
The scandalous details are revealed in the highly-anticipated tell-all "The Rogue: Searching for The Real Sarah Palin," written by best-selling author Joe McGinniss.
Palin bedded future pro hoops player Glen Rice while he was playing at the University of Michigan, the National Enquirer reports about the McGinniss book.
The sharp-shooting Rice - who spent one season with the Knicks - was playing in the annual "Great Alaska Shootout" while Palin was a sports reporter with Anchorage television station KTUU, the Enquirer said.
Their one-night stand over Thanksgiving weekend 1987 reportedly occurred in the dorm room of Palin's kid sister at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
Palin was described by a friend as the aggressor, with the pal reporting "she hauled his ass down," the Enquirer said.
Less than a year later, Palin was pregnant by husband Todd and the couple eloped.
The book also repeated allegations - denied in the past by Palin - that she had a six-month affair with her husband's business partner in the mid-'90s.
The dalliance put a chill on the Palin marriage, with Todd complaining to friends about the loss of intimacy in their relationship, the Enquirer reported.
McGinniss, the author of "Fatal Vision" and "The Selling of the President," rented the house next door to the Palins in Wasilla while researching the bombshell book.
His agent, David Larabell, declined to comment on the Enquirer excerpts.
"As this is an embargoed book I can't comment on the specificity of its contents," Larabell wrote in an e-mail.
"Also, I haven't seen the National Enquirer article. I don't know about this instance, but they often get these reports right."
The book also reports that Palin was once seen snorting cocaine off the top of a 55-gallon drum while snowmobiling with friends. She also smoked pot with a professor while at Mat-Su College, the book says.
And it quotes a Palin family friend as saying that husband Todd Palin also snorted coke, describing him as "on the end of the straw plenty."
The Enquirer quoted a publishing source about the explosive stories contained in the 320-page book, due in stores next week.
There was no immediate response from the Palin camp.
I guess the sources could be lying, but the point is that McGinniss isn't making it up out of whole cloth. Objectively speaking, there could be something to it.
The relevant question before the house is whether or not it would make any difference in her vote support.
My own view is obviously it shouldn't--unless maybe she might pick up a few points among minority voters.
No, if it were mine there wouldn’t be anything left to cap.
LOL!
Unable to find that response anywhere on the web. Source?
I didn't! you can examine my past with a fine toothed comb for the past 2 weeks and you will find nothing! Well maybe one week. See, there was really cute girl and . . .
She must be VERY talented if she can snowmobile and snort cocaine off of the top of a 55-gallon drum at the same time!
True. They want her tied up.
She either ignores it completely,saying that she wont dignify it..or she issues a complete and utter denial, or admits to whatever is true..
Um — well, yeah. One of those....????
“I am truly shocked! I thought Sarah Palin was pure as snow, a reincarnation of the virgin Mary.”
Some apparently do think that (or something similar). A poster yesterday stated that Palin was the closest thing to Jesus on Earth.
I kinda doubt this accusation will mean much. McGinnis hasn’t had any credibility in a long time. He’s a hack. Sarah will likely pay it little attention — it deserves little.
so far, all we have is a known dirt-bag author with so and so said and so and so admits, and so and so concurs....let’s hear from mr rice in person or ms palin, etc.....
and if so, it’s done, and we move on.
if not, it’s done and we move on.....
I just spent about 10 minutes searching out the accusations and Glen Rice on google. Mostly what I’m seeing on blogs, etc., is that most folks are laughing and replying sarcastically, not taking it seriously yet. Let’s see what happens with the MSM. This could actually help us.
Do you have a source for that? I just spent the better part of 1/2 an hour and no hint of him even making a statement.
Please post your source.
Help who? Sara ain't running.
Help who? Sara ain't running.
I'm not going to judge her for the indiscretion or "sin" - I've done MUCH worse in when I was in my 20s. I'm a much different person now as she OBVIOUSLY is.
That said if she was seriously involved with Todd and decided to bang some basketball player while he wasn't looking, that certainly wouldn't elevate her within certain demographics.
There's also the "joke factor." This could become the material of a lot of self-writing jokes. No good can come from that either.
How clever! Well, that’s what I get for being an old broad who hasn’t watched a sitcom since The Dick Van Dyke Show got cancelled. I’ve gotta look up this show.
It may not be fair, but people will hold women to a much higher standard them men concerning a one night stand.
It’s fascinating what smears people would come up with if I should ever by some mischance become famous. Sheesh.
