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.

In light of the recent revelations in Joe McGinniss's book, I think THIS picture takes on a whole new meaning. Update.

Look how focused she is on the President.

If they had not sent Lieberman to essentially body check her, there is no telling what kind of fool she would have made of herself.

I wonder if THIS dismissal by Obama was not the beginning of her raging hatred toward the man?

By the way I received a phone call from the National Enquirer, who first published the excerpts and are also chasing the story from another angle, and I asked them if they felt confident they had the straight poop on Joe's book.

I was told they had managed to confirm it with somebody connected to the publishing house, so there was very little doubt that they had their facts right.

I also emailed Joe to ask if he could confirm that what has been reported is accurate.  I don't expect he can say anything about it, and if he did he would probably swear me to silence, but I felt it was worth a shot. But from what I know of Joe he would NOT allow this to be printed if it were not completely accurate.

I also asked Joe if he had sent Palin an advance copy of his book.  I don't think he did, but I do know that other authors have done so, as did the National Enquirer when they were doing the Shailey Tripp story, so its possible.

THAT would explain a lot about her recent appearance and behaviors.

Oops, I almost forgot that we still have source who HAS read the book who continues to actively leak snippets. Here is today's Doonesbury comic, which is still being censored in newspapers across the country.

Update: Okay I sorta kinda got confirmation that the Glen Rice story is in the book. Oh and my copy of "The Rogue" should be here in the next few days.

Update 2: It looks like the New York times has released their review of "The Rogue." (The review also contains an excerpt from the book.  Go ahead and count how many of the "rumors" that you first learned of on the blogs that are validated in just these three pages alone.)

This is the portion that I believe is of the most interest to the majority of those visiting here:

With the same imprecise aim he cites conspiracy theories that Ms. Palin may not be the mother of her youngest son, Trig, and questions the circumstances under which he was born. Mr. McGinniss puts forth a provocative case for doubting Ms. Palin’s account of Trig’s birth, which involved a round trip between Alaska and Texas while she was supposedly in labor. But then he comes to an indefensibly reckless conclusion: “It is perhaps the most blistering assessment of her character possible that many Wasillans who’d known Sarah from high school onward told me that even if she had not faked the entire story of her pregnancy and Trig’s birth, it was something she was eminently capable of doing.”

In Joe's defense I do have to say that he tried to get the information about babygate into his book.  But because he could not get definitive proof of the fake pregnancy, or anybody close to the situation to go on the record, he simply could NOT get it past his publisher's lawyers.

Update 2: Joe McGinniss interview will be broadcast tomorrow on the Today Show for those who are interested.

Update 3: Tweets from Savannah Guthrie:

Savannah Guthrie 
Tomorrow: our exclusive @todayshow intvw w author Joe McGinniss, who authored the new Palin book (and lived next door while researching it). 


Savannah Guthrie 
And we'll report on Todd Palin's response to the book - see you at 7a for @todayshow 

Oooh this could get REALLY good!

Sarah Palin still has nothing to say about her newborn granddaughter, but about Mercede Johnston's Playboy interview?

Courtesy of the National Enquirer:

Sources say “Mama Grizzly” Sarah be­came so enraged she vowed the Johnston clan would never again see baby Tripp, the out-of-wedlock son of Levi and her daughter Bristol. 

But acid-tongued Mer­cede – who posed nude in “Playboy” – charged that Bristol’s pregnancy “wasn’t an accident. She and Levi planned it. 

They were trying to con­ceive for months.”Protective Palin reacted in a fury – denouncing Mercede as “a little whore,” her entire family as “trailer trash” and Mercede’s mother as “a drug dealer,” say sources. 

You know we can always take the things that NE reports with a grain of salt, but I have to imagine that this time they are undoubtedly correct about Sister Sarah's response.  I have heard about Sarah's tirades in the past and this one sounds very similar.

And by the way that whole threat about how they will "never again see baby Tripp?" Well that is what they have been using to manipulate the Johnston family for two years now. The evidence clearly shows that the Palin family had long ago decided to cut Levi, Mercede, and Sherry out of Tripp's life and they used every excuse in the book to do so.

In my opinion it is Mercede and her family that will ultimately come out looking the best after the dust settles.

In fact they already do.

Update: By the way you all might also like to read this post explaining just HOW Sherry Johnston became a convicted felon.

Sherry herself would NEVER tell you she did nothing wrong, But the circumstances surrounding her arrest are very troubling.  And they seem to have Palin's fingerprints all over them!

Sarah Palin's week just got a whole lot worse as Shailey Tripp reveals what she knew, and when she knew it.

From Shailey's blog:

The next few days I will be writing about How The Lies of Sarah Palin turn into TRUTH as it pertains to me. 

I know for a fact (and yes with proof), that Sarah Palin knew that at the very least a prostitute who claimed to have sex with Todd, her husband, was going to go public with the information. I know for a fact, Sarah Palin, was told about all the emails that showed there was a relationship between her husband, Todd, and this person. Furthermore, I know Sarah Palin was told that there were even emails showing that Todd could be involved in running or involved in a ................prositution ring. 

This was 1 week before Christmas 2010- Fri. Dec 17, 2010.

To read the rest, and yes you DO want to read the rest, just click the link and head on over to Shailey's blog.


You know there are two names that attract the most aggressive and negative remarks from the trolls when they appear on this blog.  And those names are Mercede Johnston and Shailey Tripp.

I am constantly cautioned by these helpful little imps not to believe anything that they say, and told (using a plethora of exclamation points) that they are LIARS!!!!!!! HATEFUL, HATEFUL, LIARS!!!!!!

Here's the funny thing.  I have never caught them lying to me.

I have had dozens, and I mean dozens, of people attempt to deceive, manipulate, or outright lie to me. But never them.

In fact Sadie's version of events (Often either preceded by, or backed up by, Sherry's version of events.) has never changed.

People have attacked her character, screamed obscenities at her in the grocery store, stolen her mail, and vandalized both her car and her house, and still she has refused to allow herself to be intimidated into keeping her mouth shut. The only time she stayed quiet was when she was hoping that by doing so she would get to see Tripp.  But after numerous promises made, and then broken, Sadie realized that the Palins were simply using the last hold they had over her family to control them.

Now that control is no more.

As for Shailey, well Shailey is the only source I have ever known that passed five, count them five, polygraph tests with flying colors.

I have talked to many bloggers, journalists, and authors who have spoken to her, and they all said that she was very credible.  The only thing that keeps her story from getting the kind of coverage it deserves is lack of physical proof, which we are still struggling to have released from APD. I have seen some of the evidence, and so far it all backs up Shailey's story, and refutes much of what official APD spokesman Lt. David Parker said publicly.

Once she is able to get her hands on that evidence I think her story will blow up again in a major way.

Especially if all of the people claiming that Palin is DEFINITELY launching her bid for the GOP nomination on September 3rd, are accurate. If, or when, that happens this whole thing  is going to get much, much more interesting.

Shailey Tripp, if I may borrow a phrase, gets her "Grrr" on.

Here is a portion of what Shailey posted yesterday:

I have talked to many members of the press since Jan. 2011 and I have been asked over and over again why is anything I have to say newsworthy because the National Enquirer didn't pick up the story and the Anchorage Police did issue their press release. Well I want to say to all the Media persona out there: When the police cover up, hide, mislead, lie, and issue press releases all the while violating someone's rights all due to a phone call by another person's lawyer.....UMMMM that is a story, all by itself that alone is merit for a great news story......... and the media not looking into the story and investigating and reproting the facts, THAT IS A PROBLEM. That is THE STORY. 

I can't understand, when did other news sources base their decision making on the word or actions of the National Enquirer? When did the press as a whole stop investigating stories just because of a press release? Just because you say it, doesn't make it true. At the very least the local news in Alaska should have looked into this. If this is now how the media operates, umm America wake up, we have a severe problem! 

But hey what do I know I am just Todd Palin's whore, and Sarah Palin's massage therapist.....

You know being Todd's "whore" and Sarah's massage therapist, would indicate to me that Shailey could know quite a lot actually.

Shailey and I spent yesterday texting back and forth and she is very fired up right now.

She believes, and I agree, that with all of the media attention directed at Mercede right now the time is ripe to start getting HER story out to a wider audience as well.

So she will start posting some more very interesting information about her case, Todd and Sarah Palin, and the coverup orchestrated by the Anchorage Police Department.

She and I will also be teaming up on some posts and will hopefully start rattling some cages and waking up a slumbering media about a story that has it all, sex, corruption, bribery, and politics.

Stay tuned.

Film "The Undefeated" may be causing HUGE rift in loosely organized Palin camp as Sarah is tugged back and forth between supporters and angry "only for show" husband. Update!

"God I hate my life! How much longer before that damn contract is up?"

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: (Link fixed.)

Insiders say Mrs Palin's husband, 'First Dude' Todd Palin is angry and attacked her for cooperating with the project.

One political analyst believes the film could ruin a possible White House run.

An insider told the National Enquirer: 'Sarah was brought to tears and Todd was livid after they saw the movie with a crowd of supporters in Iowa.'

'Todd said the film is going to give Sarah's enemies fresh ammunition to destroy her as she considers running for president.

'He told Sarah that she was beyond naive for walking into an ambush like that.'

If indeed Todd said this, and this is the only account I have heard that he did, it may be one of his more intelligent observations.  It is exactly right that this film is NOT changing anyone's mind about who Sarah is, but it is DEFINITELY providing comedians and critics with tons of new material to use against her.

According to the Enquirer, another source said: 'Todd is rip-roaring furious over the way this film turned out.

'He hopes he never comes face to face with the stars who ripped her to shreds.

'He'd like to give them all apiece of his mind.'

Number one it is VERY unlikely that Tawd will ever get too close to a REAL celebrity, and if he does he will be WAY too intimidated to say anything to their face. Todd is nothing more than a schoolyard bully, and only acts tough when he feels he is safe from retaliation.

However this next guys sounds like he knows what he is talking about. (Yes, that was a tongue in cheek remark.)

Jesse Griffin, who runs the Alaska-based website theimmoralminority.blogspot.com, told the Enquirer: 'Sarah Palin blasts the Hollywood elite as horrible people, but there's a danger voters will laugh at the jokes celebrities make about her in the movie.'

I still stand by that assessment.  I have heard that there have even been some chuckles from the die-hard Palin supporters at the jokes told at their idol's expense.  And when that is immediately followed by imagery such as this: "lions feasting on innocent zebras, a knight felled by one of countless arrows (fired by the leftist media, no doubt), a woman's corpse getting dirt thrown in its face. No shit." It makes it more than a little hard to take this film seriously.

However as hard as Tawd might be working to explain to Sister Sarah what a huge blunder she just made, her supporters, desperate for something to cling to, are pimping this film like it was the last two dollar whore on the Sunset Strip.

Team,

You can be the spark that becomes a grassroots revolution helping to ignite, solidify, inform, and unify Americans around the values that Sarah Palin represents, and, frankly, it isn't that terribly hard!.

Team Sarah wants to see The Undefeated become a BIG success and we are treating this like OPENING DAY in a long battle to promote the VALUES we see that Sarah Palin represents!
But, we need to ACT!

Please don't waste time.

Click on the link below and start purchasing your tickets for Opening Weekend July 15, 16, and 17:

We need to SELL OUT the evening shows on July 15th and 16th if you BELIEVE IN THE MESSAGING and VALUES OF THIS FILM. if you believe in Sarah Palin and the values she represents in the country today, now is YOUR CHANCE to stand up and make a HUGE IMPACT with what amounts to only a little effort.

The Undefeated needs strong attendance to roll out across the country in subsequent weeks. Your fellow Americans DESERVE to see this movie just like you did. Strong attendance, we believe, will also send a strong message to the liberal media elites and their political cronies- that Americans are hungry for REAL leaders who can navigate tough storms instead of sound-biting their way along to pander for votes or media support.

As one of Sarah Palin's supporters, only YOU can help make this happen!!!

So while "The Toad" is desperately trying to get his wife to move her ass as far away from this film as she can get before his overly botoxed money tree withers and dies, her crazed supporters are trying to get as many people to see this putrid turd of a film as possible.

You know, I could not have orchestrated this better if I'd tried.

Damn I'm having a good summer! How about you guys?

Update: It looks like Palin has taken to Facebook to refute this story.

Obviously we’ve seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake. The UK Daily Mail reports that I was “in tears” as Todd “rages over Hollywood stars ripping” me in the new film “The Undefeated.” Huh? Really? The beautiful town of Pella, Iowa, was flooded with an army of media covering the premiere of this film. You’d think someone would have caught those tears and rages on tape, right? Well, here’s a video of the remarks I made at the Pella Opera House right after viewing the film. The emotion clearly displayed was gratitude to the filmmakers who invested their own time and money into highlighting my team’s record in Alaska. Todd and I were overwhelmed with gratitude, and we hope everyone sees this film.

You know that THAT means don't you folks?  It means the National Enquirer was right on the money.

By the way here is the video that Palin refers to in her FB post.



Do you notice who is NOT standing next to her while she talks about how much she appreciates the movie?
