Apparently Brad Hanson wishes that somebody would have told HIM that he denied having an affair with Sarah Palin!

As I am sure most of you are aware, after the revelations in Joe's book came out once again revealing that the conservative Christian, Sister Sarah had knocked boots with Todd Palin's ex-partner Brad Hanson, the Palin camp issued this denial:

In a statement released through Palin allies, Hanson again denied the allegation. 

"This is the same old story that went around in 2008. It is a complete and outright lie," Hanson said. "Todd and Sarah Palin have been good friends for many years, and in fact we still own property together. We sold a former joint business venture for business reasons, nothing more. These attacks are shameful and those making them seem to be out only to destroy good people and make money doing so."

When this came out I thought it was interesting, because my understanding was that when the National Enquirer first broke the story Hanson stayed mum on the topic, and refused to be interviewed.Why would he come forward now?

Well, perhaps he didn't.

Once again according to the National Enquirer, it appears that Mr. Hanson was unaware that he made an official statement:

BUT did Hanson actually say and approve that statement? 

When ENQUIRER reporter ALAN BUTTERFIELD went to speak to Hanson yesterday at his home in Alaska, Hanson seemed surprised that an official statement had been issued on his behalf. 

Butterfield said Hanson appeared perplexed and confused when asked about the statement. 

After being asked several times if he had released the statement, Hanson finally told Butterfield: “I think so,” and then he added, “Let me know what you think about it.”

Well THAT us rather interesting isn't it? He "thinks" he released a statement? How does one NOT know that they contacted the AP and told them flat out that there was no affair?

Another thing that confused me is WHY Palins would bother having Brad Hanson release statement in the first place, when HIS sexual tryst with Palin was barely creating a ripple next to the tsunami of the revelation that she had hooked up with basketball start Glen Rice?

But now it makes sense.  Glen Rice is a famous, successful athlete who cannot be intimidated.  Hanson is living under Pain's thumb Wasilla.  If she says he made a statement denying the affair, then by GOD he made a statement denying the affair!

One other thing that is driven home in Joe's book time and time again, is how terrified so MANY people living in Wasilla remain of the Palins and their vindictive nature.

My guess is that Hanson, as he did in the past, will refuse to say any more on this topic.

But let me just let all of you know that THIS affair is probably the worst kept secret in the Valley, and I have heard it repeated by more people, often with NO prompting, than any other scandalous information about Sarah Palin. With the possible exception of the fact that she was a horrible mother.
