National Enquirer update

The National Enquirer has a team of three reporters up in Alaska digging up juicy dirt on the Palins. The Enquirer has already announced that Sarah wanted Bristol to get married right after the Republican Convention, but Bristol refused. Then Sarah had to release the news about the daughter's pregnancy, because they knew the Enquirer was on to them.

And then there's the following:

The ENQUIRER has also learned that Palin’s family is embroiled in a vicious war that is now exposing her darkest secrets, threatening to destroy her political career.

Palin’s ongoing war with her ex brother-in-law Mike Wooten, a state trooper, has caused multiple sources to come forward with shocking allegations about the governor.

Details of those allegations, the family feud, and Palin’s attempt to cover up her teen daughter’s pregnancy are in the new issue of The ENQUIRER.

I can’t wait to find out about these “shocking allegations” and “darkest secrets.” When does this issue go on sale?

21 posts in a row about Palin. Yawn. Please give it up. There is no chance that she will win. Now it is just a matter how how badly McCain is going to lose and when the debacle at the top of the ticket will cause the Democrats to get their sixty seats in the Senate.

When the Democrats get sixty seats in the Senate, can well all agree that the Republican Party will be irrelevant to politics in the U.S. and that the U.S. will be a defacto one party state.

HS, I just don't get this obsession with Palin and her knocked up daughter or whether she got some Alaska cop fired.

Have you forgotten that we have a presidential candidate named Obama who has incredible 'real' baggage like Retzko, Wright, Chicago politics, and so on.

Palin, herself, has exercised excellent judgment over a wide range of issues while Obama has never shown any tendency to demonstrate common sense.

To me Palin is everyone's sister -- knocked up kid, one in the Army, etc. She is everyone's daughter who has accomplished what most parents could only dream about for their child. She is everyone's parent who can deal with everything fate throws her way from a Downs Syndrome child to a promiscuous teen.

She deserves better than all this hyperventilating over what is absolutely trivial in a day in the life of a Vice President.

I get all of my news from the National Enquirer. It's very non-prole. I am sure all of their writers went to top schools and they demonstrate journalism at its finest. What would we do without National Enquirer?

[RottonPickle]

I am very much in agreement with Andysan's very articulate response. We're only harming ourselves here.

HS is right, folks. Let's all vote for Obama.

For Chrissakes, Sigs, will you drop this Palin obsession already? Do like Roissy or Roosh and go out to some nightclub and score. It'll be much more satisfying.

I disagree with the previous commentators. I just can't get enough of this Palin saga! And I see that I'm not alone. On every blog I read (Steve Sailer, Megan McArdle, View from the Right, etc.), a post of Palin elicits huge numbers of comments.

Please continue the good work!

The National Enquirer is so fun. Check out this article on Cindy McCain's macaroni and cheese recipe:

"Cindy McCain has been busted for stealing recipes from Rachael Ray and claiming them as her own!"

HS:
I agree with the previous posters. Do you have the hots for Palin? It's a disgrace for this country that the Enquirer presents more balanced news than the MSM.

"The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news."

If we are to believe the National Enquirer, then the announcement of Bristol's pregnancy was unplanned?

HS has been posting so much about Palin, I see Google's contextual advertising now has links to "Down Syndrome Struggles" and "Alaska Birth Records"

I'm aware of two instances in which the National Enquirer did good work:

(1) As mentioned in Paul Ewald's "Plague Time," the National Enquirer was the paper to publicize Barry Marshall's ground breaking finding that peptic ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection and can be readily cured with antibiotics. This was completely against the medical dogma of the time, and so the prestige press didn't publicize it.

(2) On a more crass note, they were the ones to break the story about John Edwards, his mistress, and their love child. Again, the prestige press ignored the story.

I think this Palin stuff is pretty fair.

Remembery people: John McCain is senile and will LIKELY die in office, leaving the country in care of her.

She has a pregnant kid? That's an issue.
She doesn't believe in evolution? That's an issue.

She has no real experience? That's an issue.

She's a hypocrite on pork barrel spending? That's an issue.

superdestroyer, I think people are in denial. They won't believe it until it happens, which it will.

[TCO]

The Palin daughter's pregnancy was well known in Wasillia and by press, who did not think it notable. Of course those boosting it now as some "aha" moment don't like to note that.

Looks like Bristol isn't the first girl Levi knocked up

Superdestroyer says that the U.S will become a defacto one party (Democrat) state.

I have been predicting that for years now...ever since women started sharing alpha males and becoming single mothers in large numbers. It's Marxism 101, the state takes over the role of the father.

I really don't care for this pregnancy. I keep seeing Levi described as a "hunk". Young hunks should never start families because they are certain to cheat. I'll still vote for McCain/Palin because I like their politics, especially Palin.

I bet the baby is Bristols and the DAD's!! That is why he has Down Syndrome.

[WDCnow]

When an evangelical is running, you simply can't ever underestimate the amount of available dirt--and hypocrisy. Stay tuned.

Paul Ewald appears to have made a mistake:

I would be proud if I could say that our first international publicity was in a prestigious publication such as the National Enquirer, but I would be lying - it was actually in a Florida supermarket tabloid called The Star.
