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.
Luv your screen name.
That last one is not much of an option, is it?
Only an infantile mind would care about this kind of stuff.
I don’t know a person out there who hasn’t done something they may or may not be regretting later on in life.
Having it flung in your face decades later in a peurile attempt to smear the character of a good lady is poor form.
But then again, that’s what despicable liberals do.
I carry my own burdens/demons around, I don’t need to know about someone else’s.
This is just pure salacious tripe.
The message to conservative women is pretty clear.
If you are female and do not toe the feminist line, we are gonna dig and dig until we can document your entire sexual history. Then it is going on the front pages.
Alinsky 101
Gasp! Sarah Palin had sex! We all know she did at least five times in her life.
I doubt he will be commenting on it anytime soon, either.
I love it when old time lefties come crawling out.
How would you know that was the case?
I believe it’s a play on the name of a t.v. show that starred Will Smith, “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.”
They found all this out and still can’t get their hands on Obama’s schoolmates, records, writings,
If you mean the wedlock and elopement issue, it has been reported on and Palin has confirmed it. I don’t hold that against her, and I don’t think anyone else should either.
No. Wait. John? John Semmens? Is that you?
Honestly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart:
If there was even very highly credible evidence that a Democrat candidate or a Republican I loathe such as Mitt Rommey, had in his/her young adulthood:
1. Had a one-night stand while single
2. Snorted coke
3. Smoked pot
... there's not a SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL that I would consider those events anything but shrug-worthy as arguments for opposing that candidate. It wouldn't matter if it was Obama, Reagan, Palin, Perry, Romney, Hillary, or ANYBODY ELSE.
The ONLY important questions are: How does that person's life well into adulthood reflect his/her character? When in office, what did that person do to increase or reduce government?
Anybody who thinks these charges disqualify Palin, either would have disqualified her ANYWAY no matter what, or they are pretty naive.
The solid gold hard-core truth is that A LOT of people who have made your life better, who have contributed mightily to America, who have employed people, who have given generously to charities, who have raised good and productive children -- a LOT of people who you know and you respect -- did those things in their younger days, as well, it's just that you don't know about it.
Me, I had one-night stands in my single days, snorted coke, and smoked pot, and so did some people I know who today are very hard-core GOOD limited government Republicans and business owners, not to mention excellent parents and righteously moral folks in terms of their church and their charities.
Life is a learning curve, and it's curviest when you're in your late teens and early 20s. That's the reality and that's the truth, so to me, whether or not this junk about Palin is false or not, it is 100 percent junk food, empty calories, wasted effort and time. Salacious and entertaining, but that's all.
An essential fact that should destroy any credibility they have as investigative journalists.
“snorting cocaine off the top of a 55-gallon drum while snowmobiling with friends”
This kind of detail smells very much like fabrication.
I think he has seen the tire iron before. Looks like new caps on those front teeth.
Sure. There was a sitcom in the early 90s, starring Will Smith, called “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Someone on Attack Watch did a clever riff on that title. I combined it with a variation of Al Sharpton’s incoherent rant on PMSNBC that ended with him saying “resist we much.”
“How many white chicks did Zero do, in his wild oats days?”
None! He’s gay
