Open Thread – Screen Door Sunday in North Pole
There are still a few photos to share from the Don’t Let the Screen Door Hit You On the Way Out weekend. Here’s a great picture and write-up from Mudflatter J up in North Pole!
I read your blog most days, and was happy to have a screen door party. I had thought about going to the Governor’s Picnic up here in Fairbanks and bring along some witty signage so that the national press can appreciate that not all Alaskans support Sarah. Then, I thought, that the best way to show my non-support was to actually not attend her function in a negative or a positive manner. Probably the best thing was simply to not show up at all, for I really think that Sarah Palin loves attention in whatever form it comes. So, to host a party and have no one show up would really have bummed her out.
So, I hoisted a spare screen door up on the flagpole and hung an Alaskan flag on it…all under the Earth Flag. Maybe I’ll keep it up for a week or so to see if anyone asks me why i have a screen door hanging from my flagpole. We had a wonderful meal to celebrate her departure that featured Alaska Copper River red salmon with barracuda bbq sauce, Katie Couric grilled zucchini slices, and partially done rasberry custard pie.
Partially done raspberry pie. Now that’s funny!
LOL
Thanks Mudflatter J! That menu & screendoor flagging were Absolutely Clever!
“barracuda bbq sauce, Katie Couric grilled zucchini slices, and partially done rasberry custard pie.”
Still giggling.
Please don’t tease me with talk of Copper River red salmon!! My mouth is watering so much, I’m afraid I’m going to drool all over the keyboard. And the rest of the menu sounds good too. (sigh) That’s what happens when one lives down in the 50th state and doesn’t get up to Fairbanks to visit her son and daughter-in-law.
You throw a great party, Mudflatter J.
J, I hope you drank Screen Door Slammer cocktails too also.
This reminds me of something I heard at a local hardware store.
A guy brought in a jelly doughnut to work, took a bite out of one side, no jelly. Bite out of the other side, no jelly. Put it back in the bag, rolled down the top and left it on the break table.
Came back in to eat it, and it was gone. Not in the trash, no sign of it. Guy was pissed and kinda horrified about who did he work with that someone would eat someone else’s half eaten doughnut. He complained to the manager.
He was gonna get the person the next day by doing the same thing, but squirting hot sauce into the jelly.
I thought of that story when I read about the pie.
clever!
Good morning all. I’m off to meet Mudpuppies in NYC soon. Have a terrific weekend, and don’t forget to listen to Shannyn tonight… we’re planning to call in from MudstockNYC! Well, whoever’s actually able to dial at that point will call…. It will be 9 PM here… 6 hours in.
Someone just sent me something from the red site. Apparently they are writing the Blue Dogs about health insurance – pretending to have voted for them.
They must be totally insane if they think the Blue Dogs are going to believe that ranters against decent health care really voted for them. The Blue Dogs – I am SURE – are acutely aware of how the people who really DID vote for them feel about (1) health care, and (2) Blue Dogs. grrrrr
I guess the poor old red people don’t have much else to do with their time these days, now that they can’t pretend that Sarah Palin is their BFF any more. ROFL!
Mudflatter J – Wow, how clever and creative! The Earth flag was a very nice touch. All so humurous and yet that kinda touched my heart. Perfect!
All I did was quit shaving my legs 2/3 thru, quit 2/3 thru dressing, chores and making dinner. Also too I spoke gibberish and broke all my promises to my family leaving them confused, dazed and disheartened.
Quack – quack, sorry for the lame joke (o:
Ripley – Have a great MudstockNYC, I’ll be toasting you guys. Hope you get through to Shannyn (o:
Excellent send-off for Quittypants!! I give you an A for effort,originality and chutzpah!

2nd- I need a screen door… that would be a nice one to hang, it’d have a great background story.
Happy Birthday to ME!
Happy Birthday to ME!
Happy Birthday, Dear Samper!
Happy Birthday to ME!
It’s an absolutely gorgeous morning here in Detroit! I can’t remember the last time I didn’t wake up on August 1st to beautiful weather. I’m lucky that way. Hope to get out on a Great Lake with the boat today.
I can’t wait to live blog tonite with the call in from Mudstock! I wonder if AKM can get you guys a “secret number” to ensure you get through? It would be a TRAVESTY if all the lines were busy and your call didn’t get through.
I suggest letting Irish Girl do it since she’s a guest here in the USA.
My comment from yesterday’s OT seems to have vanished…
QUESTION: How is it that a JOURNALISM MAJOR needs a GHOST WRITER to tell her OWN story?
Of course, we all know the answer, but it really doesn’t say much for SP’s confidence in her own ability and education!
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday dear Samper!!!!
Happer Birthday to you.
:*
Thanks, LiLady… it just can’t be sung enough (birthdays around here are bigger than Xmas, thanks to BF!).
Seems like hanging a screen door from a flag pole would be taxing work. GREAT JOB!
Very symbolic of the end of a (very very VERY short) era.
Hey Samper, normally I do it for family members with my kazoo, then they REALLY know they’ve been birthdayed, better than the card. Still, here goes without the sound effects, cause I don’t have your phone number:
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday Dearest Samper!!!!
Happer Birthday to you-ooo-ooo-yeww.
oh woo woo woo woo!
AKM and all of you Alaska Bloggers – just look what you’ve started! Good job!!

I have a kazoo too – we could play a duet! Anyone else? Triangles, Tuba, Spoons????
I just don’t see how she can completely disappear. where are the tabloid hunters? spotting her would be a scoop. I know we want her to go away, but only when we are certain she has gone away.
@LiladyNY
I have some maraccas that I can add to the ensemble. Happy Birthday Samper!
Happy birthday, dear samper!
Happy birthday, also toooooooo.
What a great idea for a screen door party. Hope there were no ill effects from the half-done custard pie.
And I fear that she will pop out and scare me like jackinthebox when I was a child

The comments are tres funny.
Thought you’d enjoy this one:
“Ok, so let me get this straight- if I want to avoid Sarah Palin and never hear her speak, I should just buy tickets to any event where she is scheduled to speak and I should be safe?”
cali –
Yup , I loves that picture !! Thanks for the link. Those commenters are the best over there also.too.
Happy BD samper. Pace yourself today.
Happy, Happy Birthday to Samper and many more. I can do spoons!
Brilliant Screen door on the flagpole and all the original names for delicious meals!!
Happy Birthday Samper! Herzlichen Glückwunsch and Feliz Cumpleano and Buon Compleanno too… Enjoy the day on the lakes. Have family in Ohio and they love the Lakes. Hope everything is done to preserve them forever. I´ll spare you my violin playing. I´ll stick to singing.
Rachel Maddow interviews Rep. Anthony Weiner. Excellent.
Unfortunately Mr. Weiner represents the 9th District and I am in the 13th so I am not a constituent; however I am a very concerned citizern and checked out his website where I was able to send a message thanking him for his gutsy actions. I am impressed with the gentleman and will support his efforts in any way I can.

Someone else posted, but worth repeating.
This story and comments are hilarious. The fact that Sarah seems to have backed out on her commitment via Facebook is astounding.
Many comments saying they think she is in rehab—-or Argentina…or having breakdown.
Isn’t the National Enquirer up there tracking this story?
Gryhen has some interesting news posted.

I loved your “Earth” flag!
I think you are spot on about Quittypants needing attention (love/hate) of either kind. On the other hand, a careful documentation of her actual words and actions is needed to expose her for the fraud she is.
One of the (many) reasons I continue to be a fan of The Mudflats is the humorous touch, along with fact-based observations of our darling AKM. Although some of the comments display exasperation with some personalities and situations, on the whole I find the tone of this blog to be cheerfully zen-like.
Occasionally, I tiptoe over to the haraSmaeT site. Now those are a people driven by raw emotion. Facts (and spellcheck) are completely optional, within their “tent revival” atmosphere. It’s either hellfire and brimstone, or blind adoration with those folks.
Snoskred would especially like that flag, I think!

Happy Birthday Samper, may you get your way all day.
Re: Gryphen’s news and with a nod to the previous thread:
HOLY CRAP!!!!
Happy Birthday samper! Have you decided where you’re going yet? I’d go to Lake Michigan, Saugatuck if I could. You could get some good food and nice presents while you are there.
Have a good one, whatever you do (o:
Levi twittered on July 16, That the move was either Tx or Mt.
First off-i LOVE the screen door! I’m always so impressed with my fellow mudpups creativity!
Samper-a very happy birthday to you. Have a wonderful day.
Also, too-Irishgirl is already here in NY ( i will see her at mudstock later today) and her flight came in to Kennedy airport, not LaGuardia so no worries!
Finally, its a great day to be a mudpuppy and live in NY. Be sure to listen to us live from MUDSTOCK NYC tonight as we try to get on Shannyn’s show!
Check out immoral minority. News scoop!
WOW, Gryphen! Way to break a story wide open!!!!
BTW, Gryphen… your site ALWAYS takes interminably long to load. I have DSL and use firefox. No problem with other sites, but yours is just painful for me (which is a shame because I heart you).
Not to take the thunder away, but go check out Gryphen’s site to get “in tune” with all the new “FAMILY VALUES”!!!
Mein Gott !! Tod and Sarah on the outs !!?? Ach der Liber ! Das curse uf “Family Values” hass strook again !
Michigander: Going to Lake St. Clair in just a bit here. Taking the laptop to see if I can sneak a post or two in. This Gryphen News is too much to pass up today!! Wonder if Shannyn will make mention of it tonight? Probably not.
Gryphen: Thanks for a deliciously macabre birthday present. SP’s misery is my overwhelming joy. It wouldn’t be, of course, if she weren’t so mean, so stupid, so hypocritical, and so egomaniacal (sp?).
Time to gear up for the day. BF says to BRING THE BLENDER!!!!!!! Ooooh! I can’t wait!!!
happy birthday, samper!
tried to post a present for you but it wouldn’t pass the spam filter (no idea why).
Thanks, again, for all the nice b’day wishes!

Oh he can stop that quite quickly. Bristol relies on her parents, and that isn’t going to cut it with a judge as an excuse to move that baby so far away from relatives, especially baby’s daddy.
Great scoopage, Gryphen!
Eye on You, I believe that she can’t take the baby out of state without his ok.
OOO, this will be fun.
Samper – here’s a little Happy Birthday song the way I do it for my kids at school. I couldn’t find one with ‘Samper’ but you get the idea!

I’m betting that Bristol, Tripp and Willow will stay in Wasilla.
I wonder if the Heaths will move with her.
Montana, huh? Lot’s of conservative-gun toting-right wing-nuts livin’ there.
Also, lots of “birthers” live there. Sounds like a good match to me.
I was in MT not long ago and I saw this bumper sticker on a pick-up truck with gun rack.

It’s perfect for Palin.

Holy cow! Gryphen seems to think all that info is solid. No wonder there was no ring. And Toad held a gun on Levi? Christalmighty, the soap opera Palins are better than TV.
I predict a bleak future for them, for the hardcore rightwing, and the MSM which is continually speculating about $$arah’s chances of ever being in the public eye again. There goes 2012. I love seeing the Rethugs in such dire circumstances. Now, if the Dems would just clean up DC, get the country back on the right track, get rid of the Blue Dogs and start worrying about JOBS, not Wall St. and the filthy rich.

Do you have any special plans? Enjoy yourself whatever you do?
Does anyone have a link to the Gryphen article?
I don’t know much about Sherry Johnston, but it’s beginning to sound more and more like she might have been set up. Wouldn’t put it past $$arah or Toad to try to hurt Levi and his family to get what they want. So, why not try to send Grandma Johnston to jail over a small amount of Oxycontin and get rid of Levi at the same time? Talk about abuse of power…

Please Please Please Please
Bet Todd could get a book deal too.
..on a more serious side, if true, one could see how this would put a tremendous strain on their marriage- a North Slope worker who’s wife has rapidly gone from a local politican to national celebrity; probably got caught up in it himself and then afterwards wanting things to calm down and go back to a more settled life – I’m the Man of the House bit..and not able to cope with her wanting to stay in the think of things on a national level.. a number of women in politics have husbands that are business owners, tycoon types ( Feinstein’s husbandcomes to mind) that are more urbane than an average Joe Alaskan.. tough row to hoe for him, I’m sure..she’s not the woman he married, and change like that is tough to adjust to…
Grandma68 -
Yup.
Rex Butler is playing this EXACTLY the right way.
That Sherry Johnston info is solid by the way.
You wait until after she is sentenced for a follow up news conference. There are some VERY angry people attached to this case.
She was railroaded!
oopss ..THICK of things, not “think”
It’s going to take some real work here in Alaska to try and repair our damaged image thanks to that woman and her ilk. When will this nightmare stop?
“I’ll show you Obama’s birth certificate when you show me Sarah Palin’s high school diploma.”
*Bill Maher
Gryphen, (sorry I can’t seem to post at im). You have been so dedicated digging up this info and some people gave up waiting. Good work. $p has shown to be made of teflon, so there can never be too much dug up on her. We can’t take a chance this woman could come back like a fire you thought you put out. Besides, it feeds our need for revenge!!
(sorry akm, I can’t seem to post at im and wanted to thank Gryphen. I’ll go sit on the time-out bench)
WOW on Gryphen’s story! Way to go with the scoopage!
Must say I’m not really shocked since I’ve also noticed a distinct lack of affection between the two of them, and Todd seemed more and more distant as time went on. The kids seem to know how to show affection so they must have picked it up from their father ’cause we know Quittypants is NOT exactly the warm fuzzy type! He seems to be pretty warm with the kids so the chill in the air after the stress of the campaign was over could easily be explained by a crumbling marriage. Also explains a LOT of the more-than-usual odd behavior recently. Two thoughts:
- Todd is probably doing the happy dance that McCain lost because he would have been stuck in a miserable marriage IN WASHINGTON DC for the next 4 years, pretending that everything is peachy. Gotta be a convincing liar to to pull that off in the constant glare of media, and we all know that she’s the expert in that particular arena. Don’t think he’s quite as skilled at the whole lying-through-your-teeth thing.
- Sarah must be having a cow, worrying about the dirt that could be revealed during a divorce. If family history is any indication, splits in the Heath family are UGLY!

Oh yeah. I can’t wait to hear that one cop tell the REAL story. The one that got quiet after initially saying there was interference.
Also , Van Flea’s partners must be havin’ a s^*t fit right about now. They want the tab cleared NOW. Pending divorce action and sarah leaving the state ?? Van Flea better get that money yesterday.
Methinks the excrement is about to hit the oscillating ventilation device. Keep your head down!
I hope those in AK who voted for this fraud now realize that T&A pageant walking does not add up to a politician who is on their side and that the simpletons realize the majority of female politicians are far better educated, informed, serious and don’t pull that kind of crap, even if you disagree with them politically.
Still hard for me to believe that the national press are even today talking about her running in 2012 or even having a political future, and that some in the Rethug Party still take her seriously.
I guess we know now why she didn’t have a kind word for Dud during her farewell diatribe in Fairbanks – and why she left him behind in a cloud of exhaust fumes.
If she dumped Alaska and Dud in the same month . . . . does he have something to do with why she was forced to quit?
I’m hoping for an outburst from Angry real soon.
Very thoughtful gesture, Mudflatter J. Nice menu but not the 1/2 done dessert! LOL.
Happy Birthday, Samper!!
time for the music from 24 to start playing…..bom bom bom bom….tick tock….Trig is toads child imho.
Or perhaps that timeless classic “Down by the River”…”Hey toad, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?” The Roy Buchannon version is the best.

Todd and Sarah Palin to divorce
AlaskaReport has learned this morning that Todd Palin and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are to divorce. Multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage have confirmed the news.
A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska.

—————-
That BP job on the slope of Toads is in name only.. A little perk handed out from big oil to the Gubnas hubby, I doubt he’s ever been north of Fairbanks say much less the slope.. Other than supposedly building free houses and boats, a brief stint owning a Polaris shop and a car wash (both went bankrupt despite $arah changing the zoning laws for snowmachine trails as Mayor to run right by the shop), fishing and wrecking snow machines, I don’t think Toad has ever held a real job
Here’s to you the Alaska Bloggers! You helped expose then dispose of Princess Palin, Good On Ya! This news is so welcome, hopefully true, and we’ll get to see the true Ex-wife side of Sarah! I’m so excited! I’m so glad I’ve been following yours and Griffin’s blogs since she was coronated. May happiness and blessings foloow you for all of your days!
Any sympathies I might have for Todd are reserved for now.
My take on the him is that he is a shy guy with a bully’s heart and that he enjoyed doing her dirty work.
Levi, SKIP THE BOOK! Let Katie Couric interview you for $2,000,000!
Aussie – you beat me to it with the Alaska Report link. The sound of “WHOA!” and “holay dayahm!” are still hanging in the air above my desk.
Gryphen – You were there first. The sea o’ peez is about to start churnin’.
The price of Jiffy Pop stock will be going UP!
I don’t think that Gryphens revelations should be considered as “confirmed” information at this point. Please keep in mind that it’s possible that bloggers who are known to be working on “big sensitive stories” such as babygate could be being deliberately misled. If Gryphen is wrong here, which I don’t hope, then his credibility will be seriously damaged. Everybody calm down until these news are officially confirmed.
Here is a hilarious piece about divorce rumors:
http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i56022
This news isn’t really surprising, given the lack of affection between $carah and Toad. He always looked like he had to jump when she snapped her fingers. I never really saw her show affection toward her children the way most mothers do…only when she was parading them around or using them for her gain. I couldn’t blame them for wanting to stay with Todd.
As for the SJ story, more things are making sense. I think the Palins had something to do with it…modus operandi, they can’t keep from meddling in other people’s business instead of taking care of their own.
Stay quiet, $carah, the peace is extremely welcome.
those poor kids. I really feel sorry for them. Mama bear ate her youngins’. Please find out who built the house so toad a scarah go to prison. have a great day!
The poor children have gone through a lot this last year. Divorce is hard for kids, no matter who is to blame. SP ratings are bound to hit bottom this week.
Just returned from a dog walk and skimmed down through these comments. Seems that a lot has “happened”.
Had one thought I’d like to share. Young children involved in a divorce deserve our sympathy and kindness. I’m hoping the adults around the Palin children give them the best chance at coming through this emotionally intact. It seems right to me to skip any news story or blog comment that does not respect their privacy.
Mudflatter J, I love the photo, it made me giggle. You’re a very clever Alaskan
Sarah’s divorce does not suprise me. I’m sure they (both) were involved in affairs right to the end. Sarah wants a man with money and clout-power. She seen the big light and see wants to continue to shine in it. She is the Princess-take care of me; I’m beautiful and every man wants me. So, she throws Todd under the bus.
I still don’t believe that this is the big Iceberg.
AuntieRuth @101 – omigawd , that was hysterical.
And, re: the children – They are always in my heart and I think of them every day. I guess that, if things have been going terribly in the Heath/Palin house, they’ve known it all to well for too long. They’ve been photographed quite a bit this past year and I have never seen a really joyful expression , ever. IMO, they often look apathetic or full out miserable.
I just hope that there is an outcome in all of this in the near future that allows those kids to sleep well at night .
anti anti, no one here wishes ANY ill will on the palin kids. their parents have exhibited horrible judgment on so many levels, and the kids will pay a price greater than they have paid so far due to no fault of their own. Well, except for Bristol and her candies thing. She is an adult. Not so sure about toad and scarah in that regard.
If this is true, it will offer several “teachable moments”, for example, the see of pee will barely ripple, as the “social conservatives” don’t recognize any obligation on their part toward their children, spouses and their own marriage- they only want to tell everyone else how to live and shove their taliban-like “religion” down everyone else’s throat.
Dear Bloggers, you do know that you will be blamed for this, right? HA, HA!
Who cares.
I am sure that the pressure of Sarah’s spotlight craving behavior led to this mess. I am sure she wanted to move to Hollywood, Washington or some other spot in the lower 48 where she could be in the spotlight 24/7. Todd probably wanted to stay in Alaska.
Oh,boy oh, boy, (jumping repeatedly) does Gryphen’s bombshell provide a wealth of song parody material.

“A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska.”
pretty obvious who the palinbots are going to start blaming for this one.
the “media” ruined the palins’ marriage. everything would have been fine-and-dandy had the media left them alone. and sarah will get another pass again… once again, sarah is the victim.
From day one when Palin hit the “scene”, I have said that she and Todd look like they can’t stand each other. I have never seen any affection between the two of them. I rarely have seen them even interacting with each other. He is always standing to the side with his hands crossed in front of him. Body language speaks louder than words.
I think their marriage issues go back further past the campaign last year. He didn’t look happy from the beginning.
Also, I ever seen any affection from Palin toward her children. For someone who claims to be such a “mamma bear” protecting her children, I have never seen her hug Piper or hold her hand, kiss her, nothing…..nada.
That little Piper is so cute, I just want to give her a big hug myself.
If this is true, I do feel bad for the kids. But, their mother is a mess. It would also explain why the two older girls have not been standing by their mother’s side. They probably know what’s going on and Palin couldn’t trust them to put on a happy face for the camera. Piper is probably too young to understand what’s going on.
But who’s going to be the first dude? This will be interesting, conservative men can scr*w anybody they want from nevada to appalacia, but they like their women clean.
Why would she have to resign just because she is getting divorced? People get divorced everyday.
I hope the media isn’t making things up again.

The media are trying to persuade Angry to come out from under the bed.
I’ve broken out in a cold sweat, learning there is just the slightest chance the ex-Mrs. Palin may bemoving to Montana…where I live! We already have the Freeman, Baucus, Rehberg, and the Uni-Bomber…she needs to go to a state that needs crazies, Montana is all full!
Missy Quittypant’s followers will blame the media and then throw Todd under the bus. Nothing will ever be her fault, even if she comes out and says everything was her fault. Missy QP actually might be tired of her followers and really does want a break.
Montana would be a great place for her, and CRAP.
Montana would be a great place for her.

I disagree! I think she should head over to Russia and keep a close, close eye on Putin for us all!
I keep going back to that hastily called, I resign speech. There’s something else out there, besides today’s revelation.
I think we need to mend relations with Russia. How about N Korea? Now that is a place she would fit it in. Wait a minute, nooooo!

Glenda – We don’t want her in TX either as we’re full up on crazy here too, also, though.
#122 zyggy, not to worry, absolutely no chance she would ever say anything/everything is her fault. Throw Todd under the bus. Wonder who she’ll use to do her threats & intimidation? It was always Todd’s job in the past. Probably her dad, he’s always seemed like a really mean, vindictive guy, probably where she got her mean streak. Now if this isn’t true all I’ve got to say to gryphen and the rest of you giving this rumour legs is: How about in honor of the American soldier, you quit makin things up!
@ 107 I don’t think this is the iceburg either. I think they never got along and are throwing this out there to deflect attention and try to get some sympathy.
If only she would have said no to McCain.
Agree that this isn’tThe Iceberg.
I think sarah secretly has the hots for Putin. You cannot tell me that this picture does not get sarah hot.

~WONKETTE COMMENT: Why $a’ra’ra cancelled on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library ~
Publicly speaking, McCain loves em. Privately, he thought the model T, was appropriate. Maybe Cindy, ought to take notice. Cindy, to McCain, is nothing but free beer and money.
I’ve been reading and lurking for ages now but thought I’d come on to say how much I love, love this blog. I’m pretty active on DemocraticUnderground and HuffPo but “The Mudflats” most definitely the most fun. I’m in West Palm Beach, Florida, originally from New Jersey. I most definitely have to find my way up, up to wonderful AK.
AK’s image has not been tarnished at all. You are seen as great people with the best of humor and folks everyone wants to have a beer with. Best wishes to all.
Perhaps there was something in the emails that sheds more light on this. Those of us who have gone through divorce know how awful it is. It would be worse to have it played out in public. We can hope that the family restabilizes and each of them will be able to find the direction that is best.
OMG… this is the last time I do house cleaning… look what I missed! Wow. Just wow.
This explains Sarah’s resignation and her insistence that it was better for the State of Alaska. She didn’t want to drag the State through a messy divorce or didn’t feel she could emotionally handle a divorce and governing at the same time. Also explains the Reagan Library cancellation.
But the suddenness of it begs one to ponder why so sudden? Did the weight of her world and aspirations falling apart around her just cause her to snap? Or did she catch Todd In flagrante delicto? The suddenness and the catching everyone around her off guard leaves one to think some event happened that she couldn’t ignore or explain away.
Whatever, I’m glad she is no longer Governor of Alaska. If she committed crimes or abuses of power while in office, I hope she pays for them. (If she was pushing prosecutors to throw the book at Sherry Johnson, that is serious abuse, even more so than her abuse in the Wooten case.) That is a public matter.
If Sarah and Todd are divorcing tho, that’s all I need to know. I don’t need the reasons or details, and don’t think they need to be made public unless they concern public business. The kids have been through enough, they don’t need to have their parents’ personal shortcomings dragged through the public swamp. Let them have something to hold onto. There are some things kids don’t need to know.
Hey, not that it should really matter that much, but I had been wondering why I hadn’t been getting any Ivy Frye twitters. Went to the website and saw she hadblocked me. I had never replied to anything, and I don’t use the name I use here. But, I do follow AKM, Shannyn, Gryph, CD, Obama and the National Archives. Must have been the archives that got me blocked.
Oh geez. If SP is back “on the market,” there will be tons of Repub men who are salivating at the thought. Gag.

#141duchessofdork, maybe she carry on an illicit affair with rick “goodhair” perry & quell some of those gay rumours about him that kbh is throwing around. What never ceases to amaze me is that rick perry is a wack-a-doodle secessionist but to the folks in Texas (tx mudpups excluded) the posibility of being gay is a far worse thing. So sad.
I agree with twodux, a divorce is a sad and painful thing, and for the whole family, not just the two who are splitting. I hope there is not a media circus around any purely personal details. The truth needs to come out on anything that relates to her role as a public official, the rest is no one else’s business. I don’t have to like her (and I don’t) to want to give the family this respect.
one of the reasons i liked the Obama’s early on
They give EYE CONTACT… they touch.. they are real
Palin is like an ice queen and Todd stares with that goofy grin.. I think during McCain’s resignation speech they held hands walking off the stage.. but the woman was in tears.. a nice gesture
All those barbarian Pee lovers think she is the ideal woman.. something tells me she would be downright scary to live with.. and I bet she is jealous up the core.. don’t look at her! Why are you watching that.. who were you talking to? Yeah dream babe… ugh
“can carry, sorry
how is she going to help alaska from montana? must be an open political seat of some kind in montana. Or maybe they need a small town mayor.
anything palin = media circus
*sigh* Yes, it’s hard to be a drop of blue in a sea of red, but we’re growing in number every day!
possibility, I need to take a nap, I sound like a blogger from greta’s place…
Alot of stuff just doesn’t add up. There was that Fishing Photo Op pickin’ salmon with Todd, just after a hastily called news conference to announce her quitting. I agree with the other posters who found something else in that breathless announcement, too, also. And, if impending divorce was the reason, she could have canceled the Simi Valley speech at the same time as the “I Quit” speech– “I need time to myself, want to spend more time with my family, I need some private alone time, so following the picnic, I am canceling public appearances.” No, she placed an “adoring” Todd with children by her side.
So, Sarah bought land in Montana some time ago, yet all of those twitters and speeches sang the praises of Alaska. What money purchased that land in Montana? PAC money would mean that she might seek public office in that state, a la Hillary. Legal Defense Fund? Come on, that’s already a sticky issue. My hat is off to the people who spotted the absence of rings during the farewell picnics! We’ll all have to stay tuned to this exciting story!
The Butte, Montana real estate company of Wi, Cheatham and Howe are reporting that Sarah Palin has purchased property on the shore of beautiful Lake Berkeley Pit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Pit
My sis lives in Bozeman, and I can guarantee she would NOT be welcomed there!
Wow, the report about the Palin’s divorce is juicy news and if true, I have to admit my heart aches for the family….I even feel bad for Sarah. Although I loathe Buttercup, I can’t help but feel sorry for her. I went through a divorce that started as a seperation years ago and it is so painful, especially for the children. The hardest part is going public with the news of the split.
I’m not that surprised to hear there might be a Palin divorce. It has seemed strange that Sarah hasn’t been wearing a wedding ring and the body language between Todd and her has seemed uncomfortable. One of the first things I noticed while watching the Fairbanks coverage was the lack of affection between the two. They weren’t even holding hands as she waited to go up and speak.
I am looking forward to learning more about this story but I hope we all keep the Palin family in our prayers…especially the children. And I hope that Todd and Sarah can live their seperate lives at a resonable distance from each other so the kids can have both parents near them…divorced or not, kids need both mom and dad in their lives if not on a daily basis, at least on a weekly visitation schedule.

Well, Sean Hannity is the one who drools at her feet, but he’s married. I think Rush Limbaugh is available tho. He’s got the oxycontin and viagra busts, so he’d fit right in with the Wasillabilly antics.
austin –
Putin in a bearskin…where do you FIND these things????? Too funny but it will probably give me nightmares. When I wake up at 3 in the morning in a cold sweat and muttering the few words of Russian I remember from college, I’ll know who to blame!
I feel sooo bad for the Palin kids, especially Trigg and Piper, since they’ve had a crappy year, being dragged around the country, paraded all over and told to put on a happy face when it was the last thing they wanted to do. I suspect that the disintegration of the marriage started long before the campaign so the ensuing tension must have put additional pressure on the whole family. As much as we all want to see Sarah taken out of the spotlight for good, I hate to think about the vitriol that is about to be spewed on all sides. What a mess!
Remember long ago there was a story about there was a divorce in the works when she was tapped as McCain’s. Once he tapped her, the process was stopped and papers sealed. I agree…there never is any affection between them. Just imagine the stress all these months if that is true.
I keep thinking of Mercede’s caption on her photo of her and Trig. Something like , “My baby brother, Triggy Bear.” I have to think the true parentage of Trig is about to be revealed. Remember too, how tiny he was….much smaller than the photo of Trig and the Heath’s where he was big, and chubby taken on April 18. I am sure Trig’s birthdate is not April 18, but much earlier.
This must be the reason Palin will not show Trig’s birth certificate….the date will not match.

Happy Birthday!
Another conservative hypocrite and their “family values” which are for everybody else but them. Maybe now she will move to the appalacian trail.
Why would she show trigs births certificate? I wouldn’t show my grandson’s or son’s birth certificate. Wasn’t there a birth announcement in the paper?
If divorce was the reason for the resignation, she could have cited family reasons & garnered sympathy.
The first sign of a divorce is weight loss, then new underwear, has anybody seen her buy new underwear?
#155 Freak out in Kansas, when did she buy that land? How are toad and his friends going to be able to build her a house with leftover building materials over the weekend if they’re splitsville? The governor of Montana might have more sh*t on his jeans that needs to be washed off if she thinks she can go all mavericky and political down there in Montana
She won’t get sympathy from conservative men.
142pvazwindy: I would use Nelson, but he sheds too much. All that hair you know. He may be facing some trouble when it’s time for re-election. NE may be typically red, but there are significant blue areas in the state and he’s pissing them off!
Does the C street house in DC allow women sinners too? Or just family values men?
She will just blame the media.
Or David letterman.
Does anyone remember the video during the campaign where Sarah was in her kitchen with Piper? I was amazed by a comment that Piper made when she was aked what she wanted to be when she grew up. Piper said, “a baby sitter”. I thought it was quite telling.
Now to hear word of possible divorce. Wow!
I can only hope that there is no move to Texas!
Nebraska Native – I don’t get the impression that the C Street crowd is much on women in any position of power.
If this is true, I am interested in details only because Palin will use this to gain sympathy and blame the media and bloggers. Her fans will continue to wave the flag that she is a saint but Todd, the “liberal” media, and bloggers are all at fault. I’m interested inthe details if they expose her lies.
Plus, if she had an affair, it speaks to her “Christian” family values and it makes it a bit hard for her to sell the victim story—–again.
If Sarah and Todd were looking to divorce before she was picked for VP by McCain, then she can’t play the victim and blame everyone else for her own life circumstances. Also too, the birth of Trig may have something to do with the talk of divorce before McCain picked Palin.

Double ditto. I also think that Bristol deserves a pass because when you honestly think about it, how many of us at 18 or 19 were really capable of making sound decisions? Legal age is an arbitrary number that has nothing to do with emotional maturity. I don’t think SP and Todd have been the greatest role models for any of their children.

Surprised no one has mentioned this: Zeigler is going to (pardon the crassness) be creamin’ in his jeans when he gets hold of this. He’s had a hard on for SP since day one and probably thinks he’ll have a chance now!!!! That said, his cocky, stupid docudramas about her will be even MORE entertaining!
Kids: Man, did they get the shaft when God assigned who their mother would be. I feel most sorry for Piper. The others are old enough to deal with it a little more maturely. Maybe.
Dud: No sympathy. He’s been sponging off her for a while. He gets what he gets. Which, incidentally, might be 1/2 of everything she’s “earned” during the marriage plus (likely) the house (that “he and his buddies built and all they needed was a couple of hammers and a screwdriver to put the whole thing together).
Prediction: If anyone goes to MT with her, it will only be Piper.
HA! One more way she gets SCREWED!!!!
Has anyone checked the ADN…. have they reported anything..?

There’s been talk and innuendo……….nothing substantial. Yet.
“For someone who claims to be such a “mamma bear” protecting her children, I have never seen her hug Piper or hold her hand, kiss her, nothing…..nada.”
Not just Piper, either. Any of the other kids? I don’t track SP the way others do: has she been seen kissing Trig?
I asked, because I hug and kiss my kids and their spouses when meeting and greeting- I just thought that was normal. It never occurred to me that SP didn’t.
Good point CGinWI. This is probably all a big punking by Palin.
I can’t imagine anyone, even someone not in their right mind, living anywhere near Berkeley Pit!
Just reading about it in Wiki was an eye opener.

I wonder how Track feels about his parents breaking up while he’s in Iraq? Will he come home to Alaska or Montana?
Divorce? Been there, done that—–however, we BOTH took care of the kids. Hopefully they will too. Let the kids be spared of any additional crap coming from this mess.
Maybe Rupert Murdoch is her new man. Remember his plane and yacht are sitting in Juneau. Is it still there? Maybe ole Murdoch is looking for a new wife. $P is the kind of chick who will trade up (Murdoch) not down(Ziegler).
wayney #148 – The reason why she was in tears during and after the McCain resignation speech is because she wasn’t allowed to give her speech. She wanted to upstage McCain and they wouldn’t allow it. I have little pity for her.
You know, I’ve got to gloat a little…I said this would happen over on the forum a while ago and predicted the next thing to happen would be an appearance in Playboy. I mean think about it…instant money for doing absolutely nothing (unlike writing a book!).
And inquiring minds want to know what’s “down there”…a “Bermuda triangle”? a “landing strip”? a “smoothie”?
Any one want to make any bets?
I spent a little time “over there (you know where)” and in their Saturday Open Thread this divorce rumor is discussed (and of course they’re blaming progressive bloggers for starting it and talking about it).
All the talk is about how “like newlyweds” SP and TP seemed to be after the Fairbanks picnic (holding hands) so therefore they couldn’t be getting divorced, and that SP is busy planning her next move…etc. etc.
Not a word about how the RUMOR, let alone the truth if this is really true, might be affecting the Palin offspring. It’s like the family doesn’t exist except as tentacles springing from the ambitious form of their mother.
Contrast that with how many sympathetic comments about the Palin children are posted here.
Consider this my disrespect rant about the turniphearts “over there” and anywhere else who think SP is someone they want to emulate/follow.
For all you Montanans out there are even for those not facing the threat of Sarah relocating to your state, the blog “We’re not that Stupid” had a priceless piece on Caribou Barbie relocating to various parts of MT, and how her look/personality would perhaps morph depending on which area she lands in.
It was LOL funny!
ttp://werenotthatstupid.blogspot.com/
A question I asked during the campaign was. “If McCain/Palin win can you envision an avid outdoors type like Todd Palin giving up life in Alaska to play Mr. Mom in Washington?”
.
I would suspect this has been a source of family conflict given Sarah’s national political ambitions.

Happy Birthday Samper!!!!!!! {{{ hugs}}}
I’ve been watching the Discovery Channel…it’s Alaska, all the time. Of course, it’s “extreme” and all about the avalanches, Mt. Redoubt, grizzlies, weather conditions, etc. Showing a few locals in some of the villages. Interesting.
You guys must be tough as nails! I’m a little old 5′ wimp who would probably get lost in a snowbank. : )
Jeez Freakout, stop making me think about Palin’s hoohah!
Now that you’ve made me think about it, it is probably “au naturel” since she’s a mama grizzly and all that. I don’t know any grizzlies that wax!

Ohhhh.. I totally trust Gryphen over ADN. My thinking was to the point of how long will the ADN NOT print something. They may not report anything for a couple of days even. They will hold off till they are until it’s reported everywhere… that they have no choice. And even then it will probably be just a few lines… no story.
I feel sorry for the Palin children, if it’s true a divorce is imminent. I divorced when my children were young and it still effects them today and they are in their 30s now. No matter how civil the parents are and how involved they remain in their children’s lives, it always leaves scars. And given the public eye in which the Palins live, it has got to be 100x worse. As much as I dislike SP, I hope the media does exercise some restraint in dealing with their coverage of the Palins, if the divorce rumors turn out to be true.
I don’t know what the laws are in AK, but I know after I got divorced, I wanted to move to CO but could not because ex would not give permission for me to move the kids that far away. Hated him for it at the time, but turned out to be the best thing for our children.
If SP has been putting pressure on the DA to throw the book at Sherry Johnston, then she and the DA should be exposed and held accountable for their actions. The judge, also, if involved in undue pressure should be punished. A good judge should be able to put a stop to any interference by SP.
I guess Levi is lucky Todd didn’t shot him. This is outrageous for Todd to have pulled a gun on Levi. Todd is also lucky that Levi didn’t press charges against him. Wouldn’t this be considered assault with a deadly weapon?

I agree with you…..to a point. The fact is, Palin is a public figure (by her own choosing) and she has aligned herself with the Christian Right–Family Values set. If the details expose Palin as a liar, then I believe the public has a right to know.
Palin will blame the media and bloggers for her personal life and gain sympathy from her followers. If there is any truth to the rumors of Sarah having an affair, the details surrounding the birth of Trig, or if the Palin’s were planning to divorce before McCain picked Palin—then these details
should become public because they expose Palin as a liar.

Duncan,
I had the pleasure to see one of his last shows. That live version of down by the river is a guitar tour de force, and gives me chills. it also reminds me of why most of my guitars are in their cases!
Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent “story” (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island).
Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to “quit making things up.” We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it.

My husband and I went to college in Butte, MT and we did live right across the street from The Pit. (we are not all there, but that might be caused by the pile of mine waste our house was built on!) It is right in the middle of town so everybody lives right next to it, in fact it has gobbled neighborhoods while it was being expanded.

Who doesn’t think Barnett the High-priced Book Lawyer was there to re-write the original contract she signed for the book deal. No way would $he want to give up half…. even before it is written.
May I suggest just a bit of caution and restraint here? Right now, the rumors on a possible Palin divorce are just that: rumors. I don’t want this community to be perceived by the Palinistas as being a bunch of old gossips, gleefully picking something apart. If we get carried away in public speculation, and it proves to be a false rumor, that’s going to put us in a bad light. And even if they are divorcing, I’m not convinced that Her Nibs’ followers will disapprove or disown her. She’s been pretty teflon-coated so far. Her supporters have seen fit to disregard many more odious things than just her marital status. The so-called “leaders” of the Republican Right have things like serial marriages in their background (Gingrich), illegal drug abuse (Limbaugh), etc. and this means nothing to their fans. I hope we can all just hang back a bit and wait and see what happens before making further prognostications or indulging in a bit of old-fashioned schadenfreud. Thank you.

“Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent “story” (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island).
Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to “quit making things up.” We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it.
Meg Stapleton”
A story is never true until it’s been denied…
Just posted on $P facebook:

Curiouser and curiouser…
When Sarah made that demand…”stop makin’ things up!”, it seemed even more disjointed than usual to me.
Now, perhaps it could have been a set-up to refute the current stories.
Or…they could in fact be rumors. Who the H could have witnessed SP throwing her ring overboard? (at least that part sounds sketchy to me)
I’m not usually one to just accept anything MegoMouth says, but in this case, if they deny it and it’s true, that would simply make them look worse, so I am going to say perhaps someone was fed a line of bs and that someone ran with it rather than waiting. Perhaps it was a set up, who knows, but either way the truth will come out in the end, and confirmation will be had one way or another.

Duncan,
I had the pleasure to see one of his last shows. That live version of down by the river is a guitar tour de force, and gives me chills. it also reminds me of why most of my guitars are in their cases!
_______________________________________________________________
Duncan and SJK…it’s not too often I find people who have heard of Roy Buchanan…should’ve figured it would be here at Mudflats. I believe I have a copy of his last show…if interested PM me (over on the forum) and I’ll burn a copy for you.
Maybe Sarah’s considering having Todd stuffed (ala Trigger) . Then he can sit in the front row of all her speeches. He never says much anyway.
Of course, this means Meg et al are reading AKM and Gryphen and AK Report….. ***waving to Meg et al***
@jim #211 – That statment from Meg only confirms that they read all the blogs. Sarah doesn’t read newspapers just the blogs that’s why she couldn’t answer Katie Couric’s question as to what newspapers she reads. LOL
Sarah Palin- serial quitter- divorcing Todd- http://tinyurl.com/nt6gfs (alaska Report)
Why did $arah leave Toad after her Fairbanks speech?
TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……
(singing to Todd) Go On Take the Money and Run….hu hu hu
Nebraska Native – You got that right. Message to Meg: “How about YOU QUIT MAKING THINGS UP?”
Tin foil hat theory here…:)
S.P. out of the news.. Starts rumour about divorce, leak to blogs, blogs pick it up. Sarah get’s to come back into news cycle in full victimhood also too…:)
.
So how come Sarah’s not twittering? She promised she would stop being “politically correct” in her tweets as ex-Gov. Oh and that message to Meg, it also applies to your “boss” HOW ABOUT YOU QUIT MAKING THINGS UP?
Freakout in Kansas -
Methinks “landing strip”. Todd has the plane and fancies himself as a bush pilot and all……….
Eye on You, I think you’re right. I think Dennis and Gryphen were punked by the Palin camp. The ‘wi, cheatham and howe’ Real Estate line gave it away.
Mrs. Palin is rather popular in Montana, especially in the city I reside, Billings. I phone banked last fall for the local Obama office and was told repeatedly by people they wanted McCain to win and then die quickly so she could be President, some even expressing the wish he would die on the campaign trail! My ickiest call was the man that said he wanted her to win ‘coz she was so hot it made a man want to do her like a lonesome sheep’.
I do hope the rumor is false, those poor children have been through so much because of the often strange and questionable choices their parents have made. Regardless of the parentage of Trig, he is with Sarah and Todd now and needs their love and attention more than anything. I can only hope the decide to be mature and do what is best for their family.
Gryphen -
How rock solid is your source ??
Considering the rumor that Sarah leaked the rumor about a divorce… head spinning… whether to get back in the spotlight or to set up for a lawsuit that she’s been itchin’ for, I hope it’s not true. How much more pain could she possibly cause her children than to put them through the tabloids for a faux divorce. I would hope that even SP, for whatever motive, would think about her children, and even Toad, before doing something like that.
I bet Gryphen’s “source” is WAY closer to the inner circle than Meg could ever hope to be.
Meg doesn’t know EVERYTHING and needs to stop acting like she does.
Some of the comments on the facebook page are just batsh!t crazy.
I’d trust any source over Meg Stapleton at this point.

Hey Honesty! Now I’ll take my diving gear instead of my boat on look for the ring!
Glenda: Trig is ALSO with Bristol, who lives in the same home and actually spends time there.
Austin #226, hey, stop beatin’ round the bush! (sorry AKM, it slipped out…)
Gryphen just mentioned something interesting: “…notice that Meg carefully avoided talking about the Todd/Levi gun incident and the Sherry Johnston prosecution interference stories.”
I hope Gryphen has his ducks in a row concerning this rumor. What if it’s a gotcha moment ala Dan Rather and the George W Bush Air National Guard incident? Does he trusts his source with his life?
Think about it. She’s been hating on bloggers, blaming them for all her troubles, and she’s a very vindictive person.
She was also looking for a way out of being Governor and moving to the big time. She hatches a plan to quit and get her revenge at the same time. First, she gives her farewell speech emphasizing the media making things up. Then plants a false story about her impending divorce. Somebody bites and reports it as fact. No divorce happens and reportee is left red faced and is sued for slander. This generates sympathetic feeling towards someone who is losing her star power fast. And gives her a perfect chance to say….. “See what I have been putting up with?” “This is why I resigned for the good of Alaska.” She gets to quit, move on up, and her charges against the press and bloggers are vindicated. And if she passed the rumor on to a limited number of people, she may even be able to pinpoint who has been passing info onto the enemy.
This is all conjecture, but within the realm of possibility in this Bizzaro world. I’m sure if this scenario is somewhat true, they were hoping to catch a few MSM in their snare also.
Here’s hoping Gryphen has ironclad scources.
Down By the River – Phish and Neil Young

Samper: Too true. My heart just breaks for Trig. He just seems to be treated like a cute prop that garners votes and support for Mrs. Palin.
A google search at this time only comes up with the AKReport story pretty much and of course Gryphens. There was one also from motownsports…etc.
http://www.motownsports.com/forums/political-discussions/74548-rumor-todd-sarah-palin-divorce.html
Maybe this is a set-up just so Sarah can stay in the news. You know you can’t make this stuff up if it pertains to the dim-wit.

austintx #243, wow, you just slammed me right back to the Disco era! I have visions of Donna Summers dancing in my head! “OOOOh, love to love ya baby”!
Ah fond memories of hanging at Studio 54….Just kidding, I was only 11, but hey, my little brother and I LOVED DISCO MUSIC and I do remember the Push, Push in the Bush song from the youtube you linked to. Now I realize that while we loved the music we were probably pretty clueless regarding the topics the artists were singing about
I’ll download this to my iPod and bring my speakers and kayak around Lake Lucille blaring Push, Push in the Bush. That should boost my popularity here in Wasilla. I just hope Todd does not see fit to brandish a weapon
Since Dick Cheney purports to be from Montana – he had to claim a residence other than Texas in order to run as VP – Can’t have president & VP from same state- maybe the real Repug plan is to transplant Cheney’s brain into a runner’s body. Cheney’s ticker can’t be all that good, and is living on borrowed time.
Sarah thinks her move to Montana will make her potus, and she’s 50% correct. She just doesn’t know about the transplant, yet.

new thread
The Mudflatters who met up in NYC today may be unaware of all the breaking news. I wonder?
I think Palin’s three older children will be ok, especially if they stay in Alaska with Todd. But I worry about Piper and Trig. I know we are not supposed to post about the kids, but from what I have seen of Piper (as she is dragged from event to event), she is not doing well. She really needs a stable, secure environnment—something she will never get with SP. And Trig, of course, has never received the help that is available for special needs children. I keep these two children, as well as the others, in my prayers.
@London Bridges,
Dick Cheney is from Wyoming.
Would Sarah veto the divorce plans and go back to Todd just to make the bloggers and media look like they are “makin’ stuff up”?
Who is going to be drooling over a single Todd? (Greta? Meg? When is the next divorce?)
A single Sarah is bankable. That could be part of her plan, also, too. She’s got her PAC and Fund money. She’s got her book deal money. (Todd can have the house, but I can see her making him pay her for her half or buying it outright.) I wouldn’t be surprised if every single thing, including the car were in her name. And now she’s shopping herself around for a job.
Willow and Piper will go with Sarah but they’ll be gone soon. Will Trig be staying in Alaska to live with Bristol? He’ll just be a millstone to her new plans. Hmm. Willow will take care of Trig for two years, then Piper will take over. Trig won’t be so cute on the 2016 campaign trail so at some point, he’ll be going back to Alaska. Maybe if Bristol *is* his Mom, that will work out very well for Sarah.
Montana? I don’t think so. Not for long. That’s a stepping stone. Does she have her eye on a congressional district in Montana that would be easy for her to win? She’d have to be a resident for a year? Because I don’t see her launching her radio (or TV) career from there. So it’s either there’s a vulnerable office easy for her to win, or it’s a geographic stepping stone. Moving on to Texas a little later maybe?
Now…if she is running for a Montana congressional seat….that puts her in Congress for a run at the White House at a later date. Maybe 2016? Is that the plan? Serve 4-6 years in congress and then run? Unless. If she moves soon she’ll just barely be a resident for a year for the Montana 2010 elections. That puts her in line for 2012. Does she really think she has a chance against Obama in 2012? Well, I’m sure *she* does. Nope. I think she’s lining herself up for 2016. If she can keep her figure, a little plastic surgery, she’ll still look fine in 7 years. 52. That’s not too old.

ALASKA STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY PROPERTY AGREEMENTS AND TRUSTS BY CLARIFYING RIGHT TO AMEND AND REVOKE
In 1998, Alaska became the 10th community property state. In contrast to the other states, Alaska adopted an optional community property system. The default property system remains separate property. However, a couple may opt-in to a community property system. The act provides that non-residents of Alaska may use Alaska’s community property system by adopting an Alaska community property trust. The goal of the Act is to make available to both residents and non-residents of Alaska the community property benefits of sharing and equality, and a full stepped-up basis at the death of the first spouse.
The recent amendments clarify ambiguities relating to amendment and revocation of community property agreements and trusts. The following background is necessary to understand these amendments. The Alaska Community Property Act is based upon the Uniform Marital Property Act. One new feature added by UMPA is the ability of a couple to make a non-testamentary disposition under a community property agreement. Alaska enacted the same provision which is applicable both to community property agreements and community property trusts. Further, the Alaska Act provides that such instruments may not be amended or revoked unless the agreement or trust itself provides for revocation “on a particular date or on the occurrence of a particular event …”
I was just going to say that Judy. Cheny actually does have a place in Wyoming, was raised in Casper, Wyoming and was a Representative from the state. Long history in Wyoming.
Gryphen on says that she MIGHT be thinking of moving to Montana. Not that she definitely is.
Another thought is that if she was going to divorce Todd, she might not now. In fact, people separate and don’t always divorce or even file for legal separation. An agreement can be drawn up between the two parties and never publicized. (it could be notarized, but I’m not sure that is required)
The only way anyone would know for sure is if Todd filed for divorce or if S or T talked about it to the press.
correction for those who are trying to find a Cheney-Montana connection:
Cheney “lives” in Wyoming, not Montana.
Carry on!
I wouldn’t put it past Palin to start this rumor only to come out swinging as a victim—–again.
I can just hear her, “See what I mean about “makin’ things up”, these malicious rumors that seek to destroy our loving family from those who don’t wish that we progress forward, also—-for the troops.
It seems that she has a pattern of stirring the pot if she hasn’t been in the news cycle for a few days.

Of course there is always Frank Zappa’s classic Moving To Montana:
I might be movin’ to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss
Raisin’ it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Well I just might grow me some bees
But I’d leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand I would
Keep the wax
N’ melt it down
Pluck some Floss
N’ swish it aroun’
I’d have me a crop
An’ it’d be on top (that’s why I’m movin’ to Montana)
Movin’ to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin’ to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
I’m pluckin’ the ol’
Dennil Floss
That’s growin’ on the prairie
Pluckin’ the floss!
I plucked all day an’ all nite an’ all
Afternoon . . .
I’m ridin’ a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He’s a good hoss
Even though
He’s a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He’s a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way
I’m pluckin’ the ol’
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don’t care if you think it’s silly, folks
I don’t care if you think it’s silly, folks
I’m gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An’ ride him all along the border line
With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin’
In the moon-lighty night
And then I’d
Get a cuppa cawfee
N’ give my foot a push . . .
Just me ‘n the pygmy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush
N’ then I might just
Jump back on
An’ ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana
Movin’ to Montana soon

It’s been my experience that any time a politician’s “spokesperson” comes out with a weak denial of a rumor, as MS has done, it always turns out the rumor is true. Most times, rumors aren’t “made up stuff” like Palin or Stapletongue says they are, but are the smoke coming from the fire.
Besides, as someone pointed out, there was no denial of Palin involvement in the Johnston arrest, nor denial of Todd pointing a gun at Levi. It makes me wonder why the interview with Levi, though, won’t come out until Oct.? Is the magazine just trying to cover its ass? Or are they just waiting for the axe to fall?
And what wife leaves her husband stranded, as she did at the picnic? Why was Joe Schmidt standing in the place where Toad should have been? Why didn’t she stick around to gladhand her admirers? Ah, the questions, the questions.
Joyous Natal Day, Samper. The weather is gorgeous? Take your birthday suit out for a spin.
While doing a Google search of the rumors I happened to see the same ‘ Quitter Float ‘ that AKM used in her story. I thought maybe even the Times UK had attributed to AKM and posted the pic. It was the same float… taken at a different time though. They cover some other points though and have some opinions from some fellow Wasillans in their story. Worth a read.

I feel very proud – as I was the one who originated the term “Screen Door Saturday”. Seeing that screen door picture warms my heart.
Now if someone can produce a copy of Sarah’s official, signed letter of resignation, I have a perfect place to hang a framed copy of it in my office.
Long Live the Mighty Mudflats!!
oops – no edit function on this board…
“Screen Door SUNDAY” (of course).

Is that for real? Sarah loaded up the kids and left Todd in Fairbanks after the Quitfest??

Has anyone checked the ADN…. have they reported anything..?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello!!!
I will trust Dennis Zaki & Gryphen anyday over the ADN!
—————————-
Ohhhh.. I totally trust Gryphen over ADN. My thinking was to the point of how long will the ADN NOT print something. They may not report anything for a couple of days even. They will hold off till they are until it’s reported everywhere… that they have no choice. And even then it will probably be just a few lines… no story.
~~~~~~~~
Maybe ADN’s EAR will come out with it tonight? RE: Megs facebook, just like her “not confirmed” for the So. Ca and then NO?
I knew she would have Megamouth deny and as so believe the story even more. If there was no truth they would ignore it or threaten to sue. Why didn’t she have van flea write a “I’m gonna sue letter?”
@pacos gal, I used to live in Casper, hence my insider knowledge
What troubles me most about this is now that Meg Stapleton has put the spin on it, Palin and her family have become ‘victims’
Listen to some of the comments on here. Posters that don’t like SP and/or Todd are feeling sorry for them, requesting respect for the family etc. Can you imagine what her supporters and undecideds will be saying and thinking? The bloggers and media will be blamed whether they divorce or not.
I don’t doubt Gryphen, I respect him but fear he accidently lay down under the bus. Consider this: Palin’s DO divorce. Megamouth: “They couldn’t take the rumours and abuse anymore and it destroyed their marriage” or Sarah has had a breakdown due to the abuse by the blogosphere and on it goes. There is a myriad of valid sounding excuses that will make bloggers look like callous haters, garner sympathy for SP and detract from the truth.
There is nothing more frightening to me than handing the ‘keys’ over to a sociopath. Never underestimate what they will do when cornered with the truth.
Sorry to sound negative, but I am very concerned.
Closet Pup, that’s what Nora O’Donnell reported last Monday on MSNBC! Forget where I got the link, though. But, she did. I read something else, too, that it was her, Piper and someone else, but NO TOAD.

I agree. They will blame the media and bloggers, and her fans will love her even more. Unless, something comes out regarding an affair Palin had or something to do with Trig.
I’m starting to think that this was planted as “Gotcha” media by Palin. Meg already seems to be saying, See….we told you people are makin’ things up and now you can see that we were right. Poor, poor Palin. Those mean liberals.
The other questions is why are Sarah and Meg reading the blogs and responding to every little thing that is said about Palin. I find that very odd.
Can you imagine if President Obama read the blogs and responded to all the things that are said about him. No….he rises above it. Something Palin cannot do.

Whoa, guys.
I’d like to take a moment to remind all of the comment guidelines in the absence of AKMuckraker, after someone messaged me to look at the comments here.
Being Offensive – I reserve the right to remove any comments which I find offensive, inflammatory, or disrespectful. Differing opinions are welcome, but play nice, or don’t play at all. I am all for free speech, but the Mudflats is a benevolent dictatorship and I make the final call.
It is never OK to engage in ad hominem attacks on other commenters, the moderation team or the community at large. If you have a gripe, I’m all ears. Email me at akmuckraker(at) yahoo(dot)com and we can hash it out. If you post a comment, you’re griping to thousands of people which is generally disruptive and inflammatory.
I have to say I am quite upset to read through the comments. So much so that if I were still in charge of dealing with the comments, I would actually lock the comments on this post and do some serious cleaning up – and I am sure that AKMuckraker will likely choose to do that when she returns.
The Mudflats is (usually) our civil space.
Please keep it civil, guys.
Also too, just a reminder that you can see the comment guidelines for yourself by clicking on the “Comment Guidelines” tab at the top of the blog. Maybe now is a good time to check them out for a refresher.
Some of us are over in the live chat – if you are going to join us, as Shannyn says, “Bring your manners”

I read Gryphen’s news because it was on yahoo news earlier today.Splitsville is the right word if true .I was seperated for almost a year before I finially filed so who knows what is really going on. I would hope he knows what is what because it couold make everyone look bad at5 least in the eyes of the Palin supporters if it did not happen right away
