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.
No, I don't consider it an unfair double standard. I consider it a dumb standard, especially as I get older. "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." :^)
Yep, I know — people have been saying “She’s not running” so much that he’s been going through about a dozen wine spritzers a day! *ducking*
I had sex with a Dallas cheerleader, shot heroin into my veins, and was mistaken for a three-legged horny toad.
I read about it in the Enquirer.
It’s not the evidence that matters, it is the seriousness of the charges.
Seriously, the word “fetish” is racist in this regard.
It’s now a fetish to be attracted to black people???
I thought being attracted to FEET was a fetish. Being attracted to our fellow human beings is simply a normal desire.
These people are such reverse racists they don’t even know what they are saying.
“Palin was described by a friend as the aggressor, with the pal reporting “she hauled his ass down,” the Enquirer said.”
A “friend” would never reveal such a detail about someone. So, the credibility of this is non-existent. Looks like a clear cut case of libel to me.
Yeah, this is what I thought. Some dopey basketball star remembers the year and the day when he had sex with an unknown young woman. That’s how I remember the ‘70s and ‘80s!
Unless, like the great Jackie Chiles: they were real and they were spectacular!
Gay Joe probably showed the clown a photo of Sarah from the 1980s and he said: “Yeah, that’s her! I remember her!”
Not believing this stupid story one bit.
I just sent a report to attackwatch.com complaining about Obama's Joint Session screed, where he said yelled Republicans "want to cut MOST (my emphasis) Federal spending."
"Most" means 51% or more. The most dramatic plan out there is Rand Paul's "Penny Plan" which cuts spending by 1% per year. So Obama is basically saying shouting that 1% = 51%.
How can Obama do economics when he can't do 4th grade math?
Everybody drink!
You betcha. I need some help around here .. hic!
I don't know what a wine spritzer is, but after last night, it all tastes the same .. hic!
Somewhere crazed hippies on acid are still looking for McGinnis
I doubt the story, but if by some chance it's true, Sarah must have been very memorable.
If so, Todd is a very lucky man!!

Finny to lonevoice: WHAT???!!??? You too? Why, that two-timing *$(&#!

AAABEST to David: 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.
*****************************************
Finny, I don't think AAABEST knows that the jokes were already being told way back during the time we were having our affair. The jokes had something to do with downgrading his credit rating. He's right! The jokes just wrote themselves.
:-)
Sorry- not buying it. Don’t believe Sarah is the one-night stand type. Only way I could see this happening is if someone got her very very drunk.There is an interview out there somewhere with her college roommates- and she didn’t pay much attention to the guys in college. Was kind of a wall-flower- don’t think she would have changed that much in a year or two- especially with Todd around.
They are starting to pull out all the stops, because they are very afraid she will enter the race.
>>>“snorting cocaine off the top of a 55-gallon drum
Wouldn’t that go boom?! Can we say, Richard Pryor. Palin looks in tact to me. Get a better one that this, McGinnis. This was put out their months ago-recycyling- PR to sell his attack book. Boom!
But the truth is ... we can never know, and in fact, it's none of our business. And it wouldn't be any of our business even if it was Hillary Clinton, Condoleeza Rice, or Margaret Thatcher we were talking about here. A young college co-ed is on a steep learning curve.
So what the heck is keeping you -- get in the primaries, already!!! ;^)
That Sarah Palin (Heath at the time) might have "hooked up" with a guy or two to sow her wild oats doesn't concern me one bit. Not that I accept this story as true but if Palin comes out and admits it, I'm not going to think anything less of her. How many people born after say 1950 remained a virgin until marriage? I would put that percentage in single digits.
The drug thing would concern me a bit more if that turned out to be true but so long as it is in the distant past, we can treat it as a youthful indiscretion and leave it at that. After all, our current president admits to using cocaine in his youth and we are pretty sure that Bill Clinton used cocaine on a regular basis as an adult - maybe even during his presidency.
So is this all they've got?
