“Coffee Talk” With Sherry Johnston.
26 12 2008Well, it’s 11:15am here in Alaska, and it seems like a good time for a coffee break.
Let me say, however, for any law enforcement, FBI, Secret Service, or other entity that may be monitoring this communication, I am NOT…I repeat, NOT going to go have coffee with Sherry Johnston. And neither should anyone else.
Sherry Johnston, the mother of Sarah Palin’s future son-in-law, was busted on six felony counts for possession and dealing of the prescription drug Oxycontin, affectionately known as “Hillbilly Heroin.”
New details on her arrest have emerged, including the fact that Johnston used text messages to set up meeting places where she would sell 10 pills for $800. Sounds like those hillbillies have a bunch of disposable income.
Using the code word “coffee” instead of Oxycontin, and referring to the fact that she needed to keep some for her own use, one text message read, “There’s only so many times I can go for coffee a month. The rest of the time I need to have it at home!”
The investigation started the second week of September, two weeks after Sarah Palin was nominated as the Republican VP candidate. So, while her son Levi was flown in to attend the RNC after the stunning news that Palin’s teenage daughter was pregnant with his child, his mother was under investigation for drug dealing.
It all started when investigators intercepted a package containing 179 Oxycontin pills, and arrested two people who then agreed to cooperate with police to help catch others involved in the distribution of the drug.
One wonders what would have happened if that package had been intercepted a couple months earlier, and the news was revealed in….oh, I don’t know….October?
According to the affidavit,Johnston sent a text message to one informant Oct. 1, writing: “Hey, my phones are tapped and reporters and god knows who else is always following me and the family so no privacy. I will let u no when I can go for cof.”
This begs the question, “If u no ur phones r tapped, y r u sending txt msgs?”
The report that Ms. Johnston was under Secret Service protection while dealing drugs appears to be incorrect.
Johnston will be arraigned in Palmer on January 6th. Stay tuned for more details. I will let u no.

sounds like some heads are gonna roll, thanks to our vindictive controling underhanded corrupt Gov. Sarah………hope she gets busted for this one. Let’s blog this story up! What are she and her co-conspiritors up to?
we can now add “roads to nowhere-gate” or “to hell with roads -gate”
from Andrew Halcro (thanks Andrew, I love reading your blog! also, too)

“This drama between Palin and DOT gets more interesting. I hear now that Palin is on a witch hunt and the several high level folks at DOT may lose their job. She wants to know who leaked the story about her reduced project list for economic recovery funds to the News Miner a month or so ago.
What is so top secret about the project list that DOT generated and the one she sent to the feds? What is she hiding?”

austintx (09:23:20) said, “sjk – you can rest assured that Piper has a Blackberry……..maybe even 2 …..JUST like Mommie dearest…”
No doubt one of those extra BlackBerries kicking around when the RNC vacated their election headquarters after the loss Nov. 4th. Would that be considered thievery, if SP already had her own BlackBerry?

@ CRFlats,
Texas Obamadillo,
mhrt oregon,
and anyone else I might have missed.
Thank you for the kind comments about the story of Mom & Dad & the Foster Babies! We just buried Mom and Dad two weeks ago yesterday, in Phoenix. Mom died 3 yrs ago, day after Christmas. Dad died last month, the week before Thanksgiving.
At the gravesite service, I shared some of the story about the Foster Babies and my parents teaching us about tolerance for different types of people and all. But wish I had told the WHOLE story of the grocery shopping trips. Their passel of grandkids and greatgrandkids might have enjoyed that. My Kid Sis, a 54yr old Grandma herself now, would have definitely gotten a chuckle to remember it. Again, my Thx for the kind comments!

Kath it really was one of the most heart warming stories I have heard in a long time..I am sorry to hear about your mom and dad, but they are back together now and at a special time of the year. What wonderful memories that you may hold to your heart . Yes I sure the kids would all have loved to have heard the long version of the story…perhaps later like at a anniversary or something you can put it in to a letter for all of them..I think they should hear it just like you told it to us…..merry christmas
