Travelgate summary

While Governor of Alaska Sarah charged the state 40 times for travel expenses for her children. 

From Mudflats

Governor Sarah Palin yesterday agreed to pay an estimated $6800 for what she charged the state for her children’s travel expenses and related costs since assuming her role as governor.

This all came about as the result of an ethics complaint filed against Palin by Frank Gwartney, a retired electrical lineman who had had enough of Palin’s hypocrisy regarding cleaning up government, and stopping abuses. The complaint, which was filed in October after new information came out about her state paid family travel, was sent to the Personnel Board and investigator…..(wait for it)…..Tim Petumenos. You remember him. He’s the one that said (despite the Legislative Investigation into the Troopergate ethics scandal, and their finding that Palin was guilty of abuse of power under the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act) that Palin was innocent of any wrongdoing. And the fact that there was contradictory testimony from Palin and Walt Monegan? Well….that just wasn’t worth pursuing in his humble opinion.

So now, after looking at FORTY examples of the state paying for Palin’s children to travel with her, he’s come up with 9 instances where he found the personal benefit outweighed the benefit to the state, and Palin has agreed to pay for these 9 occasions in exchange for getting to say “I did nothing wrong!” and for Petumenos agreeing  not to file a formal accusation or take the case to a hearing. Not a bad deal.  Palin get’s to pay a small amount in order to stop an investigation, and also gets to claim, according to her attorney that she was “exhonorated.”

The charges at issue include the cost of airfare and one meal when daughter Bristol to accompanied Palin to New York City in 2007 for a women’s leadership conference, according to the settlement agreement. State travel forms put that cost at about $1,400.

There’s also airfare and hotel costs for daughters Bristol and Piper to travel with their mother to the National Governors Association meeting in Philadelphia last July. State travel forms say the flights and hotel room at the Ritz Carlton cost more than $2,500.
Other questioned trips were in Alaska, including one last year to the start of the Tesoro Iron Dog snowmachine race, in which Palin’s husband, Todd, was one of the contenders.

So, what were the other 31 trips, where the presence of the Palin children had more benefit to the state than to them, or the governor personally?  I’d like to hear what compelling reasons Mr. Petumenos found, that would make me feel good enough about the benefit to the state of Alaska that I’ll pony up money to send her kids along on the trip.

And what did Palin have to say about this?  What is her justification?

“This is a big state, and I am obligated to — and intend to — keep Alaskans informed and meet with them as much as I can, from Barrow to Marshall to Ketchikan,” Palin said in a written statement. “At the same time, I am blessed to have a large and loving family, and the discharge of my duties should not prevent me from spending time with them.”

So, she thinks that her job as governor shouldn’t prevent her from spending time with her family.  And it shouldn’t keep her from living in Wasilla, rather than the state capital, Juneau. And it shouldn’t prevent her from taking per diem payments to live there and work in Anchorage.   And it shouldn’t mean she has to pay taxes on that per diem, and her state vehicle, and on and on.

Nothing works out like it should for the governor, does it?

The policy found on the official state web site says that travel expenses by a state employee’s spouse, children or companions “are not reimbursable.”  But somehow when applied to the governor, the rules become “dizzying and circular” according to Petumenos.  And the other side agrees as well that things need to be “clarified”.

Palin keeps saying she did nothing wrong.  But when one governor’s actions constantly tiptoe over the line, meaning that ethics rules need to be “clarified” and reevaluated at every turn, and when public opinion sees the obvious lack of ethics that went into the decision making process, then it means they did do something wrong.  Whatever leads a governor to say “It’s OK to charge the state to live and eat in my own home” and

“Sure, the state should pay for my huge family to travel with me everywhere because I shouldn’t have to give anything up like other people do”  shows a basic disconnect, hubris, and a sense that the person feels that they are owed something.

Sarah Palin and Keith Johnston

A while back I wrote a post about the possibility that Sherry Johnston was the mother of Trig Palin. You can read it here. Anyway the reason I wondered that is because Mercede has referred to Trig as her baby brother which is odd because Trig would be the son of her brother's girlfriend's mother.



I'm also wondering if Trig could be Keith Johnston's son, which would be another reason that Mercede Johnston referred to Trig as her baby brother. If Keith is the father of Trig, who is the mother?

Sarah possibly. She has been known to cheat on Todd in the past. Someone commented on Mercede's blog that her dad and Sarah would be going down.

Of course there is always Bristol, which would be statutory rape. Sickening I know.

Mercede Johnston dishes about Sarah and Bristol in Playboy

From Hollywood Life:

Levi Johnston’s sister Mercede sat down with Playboy and revealed some scandalous new claims about drug usage in the Palin family and why Sarah could never be president!

Sarah Palin‘s presidential ambitions may have hit a major snag now that Mercede Johnston, the sister of Bristol Palin‘s former boyfriend Levi Johnston, has revealed some pretty scathing details about the family – including that multiple family members may have done cocaine!





Mercede tells Playboy of Sarah’s eldest son Track, “He would do a lot drugs. He did OxyContin but mostly cocaine. He didn’t choose to go into the army; he went there because his mom made him, to get him out of the way…” Track did ship out during his mother’s campaign, though it is uncertain when exactly he enlisted.



He may not be the only fan of the drug either as, the interviewer writes; “Someone trying to get my attention makes the incredible claim to have snorted coke with [Sarah] at the Mug Shot (a local bar) and points to the very spot on the bar where said lines were cut up.” This is, of course, to be taken with a grain of salt.



Mercede also labels Bristol as a thief, among other things. When asked what Bristol is into, Mercede says; “stealing her parents credit cards to order clothes. Literally. And chasing after men and partying.”



Mercede goes on to say that she could bring any number of men to meet the interviewer and have them show some of the nude pics Bristol has sent them.



There is much, much more in the interview and you can check it out when Playboy hits stands August



Damn Mercede! As if Sarah's summer couldn't get anyway worse, and she is going to be having a very bad fall when Joe's book comes out.

A recent picture of Trig and Tripp

From Laura Novak's blog

Trig Palin and Tripp Johnston

I see Palin in Trig but I also see a lot of Levi Johnston as well.  As for Tripp he looks a lot like Bristol and Chuckles aka Sarah's dad Chuck Heath but no Levi in him at all, except for the blond hair.  Levi was blond when he Tripp's age.  Trig is 3 years old but he looks closer to four and Tripp looks like he is almost three and not two and a half.

Bristol's book tour is a bust

The Mall of America was the venue where the most people showed up, and that was only because her mother was there.  Most of them were gawkers.

In Birmingham AL not many people showed up for that one either.

In Fredericksburg TX at Wal-Mart she left after 20 minutes.  You can read about the disaster here.  Thanks to I Tried Being Tasteful  for this eyewitness account.

In   Phoenix AZ at Barnes and Noble, well look for yourself:

What's with the scarf and jacket indoors?  She did the same thing in TX

Poor Tripp ignored by his mommy

Where's all the young people that are supposed to look up to Bristol?

You should read this funny thread concerning her book signing.

Bristol's interview on the View July 7, 2011

The only one who was glad to see Bristol was Bawa Walters.  Bawa can go fuck herself for all I care.  Why is ABC even sniffing Palin's panties anyway?  Good Morning America, DWTS,  and The View.  Is Sarah promising access to her if she runs for POTUS so they let Bristol be on those shows?

Bristol's latest book signing in Alabama was also a dud too.

Mercede has another post up

From Mercede's blog

Lately there have been numerous topics which I have been wanting to address, but it seems that what everybody wants to hear about is whether or not Bristol's account is what really happened that night in the tent with my brother.

I guess I'll start off with her reference to the wine coolers being her "first brush with alcohol". If my memory serves me correctly, and remember I was the sober one, it was Bristol herself who was asking around trying to buy alcohol before they even started packing to go on this particular camping trip.

So I think it is clear that she was always planning to drink while they were camping. I know for a fact that my brother was not replacing her empty bottles with full ones, because Levi never liked her to drink since it just made her more promiscuous (Which those guys in Juneau will confirm, right Bristol? ;)

Bristol only has herself to blame for the amount of alcohol she consumed that night. Maybe she tends to forget that we still have mutual friends,  and that one of my good friends was actually there that night.

My brother also provided a recap of the night right after he got home. (Remember Bristol, Levi and I use to be best friends before you got your claws into him and forbid him to talk to me.)

When I first read this story it made me laugh out loud. Does anybody really believe a good Christian girl, such as Bristol claims to be, would really lose her virginity in a tent? I don't think so. Usually girls want their first time to be meaningful and special.

Besides there happens to be a small detail which Bristol chose to leave out. You see there was another couple right next to Bristol and Levi in that very SAME tent.

So the question we have to ask is, was the other girl also being "taken advantage of?"

Did she also have her "virginity stolen?"

Are we to believe that there were TWO victims that night?  Because that is certainly NOT the story that I heard!

As for the part about Bristol waking up alone? She seems to have conveniently forgotten the part where she demanded that Levi get up early and start a fire for her so that she wouldn't be cold in the morning. Yes, her rapist got up first thing in the morning, to cut wood and build her a warm fire, so that she would be as comfortable as possible that summer morning. It is remarkable how those Palins always twist the truth in order to constantly appear to be the victim isn't it?. Un-freaking believable.

As for that "rape" allegation, I have to wonder if any of the millions of girls out there who truly have been sexually assaulted take offensive at Bristol claiming that her consensual sexual encounter in that tent gives her the right to place herself in their company?  After all it is people like Bristol, girls who claim they were sexually assaulted when in fact they weren't, who give excuses for people to doubt the claims of REAL victims of assault or rape.

Personally I have never even heard of a single case where a girl continues to date her rapist for years, while enjoying an active and consensual sex life, and then actively TRYING to have a baby with this person who supposedly "took advantage of her". Are we to believe that Bristol was drunk on wine coolers throughout that whole relationship?

After I read Bristol's account I started thinking back to that summer. My mind was searching for every little thing I could remember, and remember I did..

One of the things that I remembered was that my much older cousin (he is in his 30's) came up from the lower 48 to stay in our house while working with my father. We made him a bed in our downstairs living room which happened to be very close to my brother's room. Apparently Bristol, the virgin, woke my cousin up several times with all of her .....well let's just say "enthusiasm."  And by the way this was BEFORE that now notorious camping trip!

The next morning my cousin called my brother aside and had a talk with him. I think Levi was far more embarrassed than Bristol was because the next night she wasn't any quieter.

Now I don't usually feel comfortable talking about another person's sex life. I never even liked talking about Bristol trying to get pregnant because I feel that's a very personal topic

However, after she made those hurtful and indefensible statements in her book about my brother, I decided no matter how uncomfortable I feel talking about this that it is something which I must do, because no one deserves to be accused of such a disgusting and horrendous thing. Especially not my brother who, believe it or not, truly loved Bristol with all of his heart.

Sadly it is now very obvious that his love was never truly reciprocated. Trust me, he would never do to her what she has so casually done to him. Never.

The part where Mercede says Levi never liked bristol to drink because it made her more slutty convinces me that she may have been the one doing the raping.

Bristol could have raped Levi

Bristol says that during that fateful camping trip she was drinking.  Since she was drinking the other people there were probably drinking too, Levi included.  Now if Levi and Bristol were five sheets to the wind and since alcohol clouds the mind Bristol could have decided to have sex with Levi whether Levi wanted to or not and Levi did not remember what was going on until he woke up in the morning and being a guy decided to brag about it to his buddies.

What I am saying is that there two sides to every story.  Can't wait to hear Levi's.  Bristol Palin may be a rapist.

Bristol misnamed her book. It should read "Not Afraid of Lies." Update!

A picture I took in happier times before the RNC.

Sadly it is now very obvious that his love was never truly reciprocated. Trust me, he would never do to her what she has so casually done to him. Never.

Update:

I am sorry that it has taken me such a long time to reply to your questions.

Because I have to type all my posts on my increasingly unreliable phone, it slows my response time down to a crawl. Frustratingly enough my computer is still not fixed (Apparently they are waiting on a part that's being shipped from overseas) Hopefully I will have it back in the very near future.

As for why I don't blog from the public library, or maybe a cafe, well because I've learned the hard way not to do ANYTHING on a public computer where there are other people around.

I'm not making any excuses, but let's just say that people around here can be kind of nosy.

Now on to answering some of your questions.

I apologize if that part about my cousin hearing Bristol making noise was confusing. I just tried to word things carefully because, like I said, I just flat out didn't feel comfortable saying she was moaning loud enough during sex to awaken people in the house.

And yes people, Bristol Pain DID stay the night at our house when she was younger.

Sometimes my dad would be up on the North Slope, and my mom in the hospital, or, if they were home, she would simply sneak through Levi's window.

Most times she would just stay really late, but because it was a school night, leave around 1-3 in the morning to sneak back into HER house before her parents woke up. (She was such a "good girl" wasn't she?)

Why was Levi wearing a ring on his ring finger? Simply because Bristol wanted him to wear it so the other girls knew he was taken. She also had it engraved, it said "I love you Bristol" in case he forgot I guess. I believe it was a birthday or Christmas gift, but NO they were never married.

Someone else asked about the custody agreement, especially the part about how how each parent isn't allowed to talk trash about the other parent, and wanted to know if that had been changed.

No, nothing has been changed as far as I'm aware. That's still the deal. But in case you all haven't noticed yet, the Palins are above the law. Essentially they can do, and say, whatever they want, and they don't even get a slap on the wrist. Yet if anybody even dares to frown in their direction they go after them with guns a blazing.

Believe me, I know ALL about that!

And finally let me address my "summer" camping trip statement, since some people thought I was talking about a different camping trip than the one which Bristol claims she was on when her virginity was "stolen."

I've lived in Alaska my entire life and I just consider Alaska to have only two seasons. It's either summer, or its winter here. For those of you who live in Alaska I'm sure I don't have to clarify that. For those of you who don't, I apologize and I will try to be more clear from now on.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments, I really do appreciate all of your support.

Not many people showed up for Bristol and Sarah's book signing

Bristol is going to be signing her fake book today at the Mall of America

From the Mall of America in Bloomington MN

And guess who is going to be there to hold Bristol's hand?  Her mommy Sarah!  Geesh can't Bristol do anything without her mother horning in?  Or maybe Bristol knows she won't get many fans or people coming to protest so she is using mommy as a human shield.  Oh well.

I would love to drive up to Bloomington and protest myself, but I have an actual job unlike the two grifters. So Bristol and Sarah consider yourself lucky there.  Oh and here is a recent pic of Bristol.  She still hasn't lot the pregnancy weight from her 2nd or 3rd child.

And the chin still looks like hell.

On Monday Bristol went on GMA with Robin Roberts and did the only thing she knows how to do, trash Levi and anyone who isn't a Palin or Heath and lie.

Rex Butler gives a half assed attempt to defend Levi

From the Alaska Dispatch

Bristol Palin is not telling the truth when she claims in a new book that her virginity was "stolen'' by boyfriend Levi Johnston, Johnston's attorney said Thursday.

In the just released book, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far,'' Palin -- the daughter of former Gov. Sarah Palin -- claims she drank so many wine coolers on the night in question that she has no recollection of events, and that she woke the next morning with "something obviously askew'' only to be told by a girlfriend that "you definitely had sex with Levi."

Johnston attorney Rex Butler disagreed with the part of the story that has Bristol so drunk she didn't know what was happening.

"That's obviously not true,'' he said.

Several websites have already raised the question of whether Johnston raped Bristol.

Alaska laws says that "an offender commits the crime of sexual assault in the first degree if...the offender engages in sexual penetration with a person who the offender knows is unaware that a sexual act is being committed."

Sexual assault in the first degree is what is commonly known as rape.

Bristol's book clearly paints her as being "unaware that a sexual act'' was being committed on the night she lost her virginity.

As she tells the story, the last thing she remembers is sitting by a campfire laughing with friends after consuming a lot of wine coolers. The next thing she remembers is waking up in a tent with Levi's empty sleeping bag next to hers and the sound of friends "outside the tent laughing,'' according to the book. She then texts a female friend, who comes to Bristol's tent to inform her she is no longer a virgin.

Butler, one of Alaska's better known criminal attorneys, admitted that if true the story sounds a lot like rape, but he said the story isn't true. And he seemed a little perplexed that Bristol, who had a child with Johnston, would be telling it.

"That's not a good thing for her son to digest on down the road,'' Butler said.

What Bristol's mother, Sarah, thinks of all this is unclear. So far she has only Tweeted, as is her style. Sarah's Twitter message said this:

"Bristol's Book: Shocking; Refreshing; Honest; INSPIRING! Perfect. Plus 'Not Afraid of Life' gives insight into how media can drive false narrative. Spot on! (& she's courageous to write what she wrote, warning about decisions/consequences in encouraging way, esp for teens!)"

It is unclear as what "shocking" references, or whether Sarah thinks Bristol's suggestion that losing ones virginity while being passed out drunk (or at least so drunk you've forgotten the evening) is part of a "warning about decisions/consequences in encouraging way, esp. for teens!"

Butler said that although Bristol lied about her sexual encounter with Levi, he doubts his client has much legal recourse. Johnston, who was injected into the Palin whirlwind after Sara decided to run for vice-president, is now a public figure, Butler said. As such, he couldn't win a defamation suit unless he could prove his ex-girlfriend's statements are malicious.

"I don't think anyone would buy that,'' Butler said. The legal bar there is a high one. To prove Bristol's statement malicious, Butler would have to demonstrate she is telling a story she knows to be false. All Bristol would need to demonstrate is that she is telling a story that is true to the best of her recollection.

On the other, if her story is documentable  -- if there are witnesses who can support the story as her book indicates -- Johnston could find himself the subject of a rape investigation. Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell, Palin's successor, has been a staunch advocate of a state crackdown on men who take advantage of women who are incapacitated. He this year advocated, according to the governor's website, that sentences for sex offenses be increased when there were "'aggravating factors,” including the defendant's knowledge that the victim had consumed drugs or alcohol, or a previous dating relationship with the victim."

The story Bristol is now telling about the loss of her virginity has never been told before. In previous interviews, she has at least hinted that she might have been a willing sexual partner, saying that abstinence from sex is "not realistic at all" for teenagers.

Bristol's premarital, teenage sex first became news during Sarah's run for vice-president alongside Arizona's John McCain. The McCain-Palin campaign at the time disclosed Bristol's pregnancy and portrayed her and Levi as two teenagers in love who were making plans to get married. Levi told the Associated Press that he and Bristol had been planning on getting married for a long time.

There was even talk of a possible White House wedding, but things did not go so well and by 2009, Levi and Bristol had split.

A year later, however, they announced in US Magazine that they once again planned to get married. This time over the objections of Sarah and her husband, Todd.

But that second engagement went bust, too. Since then, they have been on unfriendly terms. Levi is now writing his own book.

Levi you need to ditch Rex and get a better attorney.  If I was living in AK and an attorney I would represent you pro bono.   I seriously think Rex is on the Palin payroll being paid with Sarah Pac funds.  

Bristol was not raped.  If she was why didn't she report it to the police?   You also don't black out on drinking too many wine coolers.  Unless he slipped her a roofie, then yes he did rape her.  Bristol has no credibility at all so I will call bullshit on the rape claim.

Today is Father's Day and Bristol trashes her baby daddy-Update

From New York Daily News

A cheeky Bristol Palin writes in her new book, due out next week, that her romance with ex-beau Levi Johnston - he of Playgirl fame - was one of "deception and disappointment."

He "cheated on me about as frequently as he sharpened his hockey skates," Palin penned of the bad boy for whom she first fell in seventh grade.

The "Dancing with the Stars" vet goes on to denigrate her former flame as "the gnat named Levi Johnston," in the teenage tell-all, entitled "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far."

Johnston, for his part, has promised to offer his own version of the affair in a rebuttal book: "Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs."

For now, readers must make do with the comely 20-year-old brunette's account of their sometimes sordid and failed romance.

The tawdry tome includes prurient details of how Johnston deflowered Palin during a camping trip on which she got tanked for the first time.

A pitiful Palin recounts how she awoke, alone, in her tent with no memory of what had transpired, while a joyful Johnston boasted of the conquest on his cell phone to friends.

Palin had previously vowed to wait until marriage, she writes.

In time, Johnston knocked up Palin, who added in the book she was initially so incredulous of positive home pregnancy kits, it took eight tests to convince her she was with child.

The couple eventually had a son named Tripp, born in late 2008.

But soon after, Palin writes she found a text on Johnston's cell phone revealing he once again had strayed.

Johnston later confessed and left the Palin home, persona-non-grata.

The narrative, published by William Morrow, co-written by author Nancy French and obtained on Friday by The Associated Press, also touches on life with the barnstorming ex-Alaska gov.

I smell bullshit on this one.  According to Mercede Bristol and Levi were trying to get pregnant.  Bristol has admitted that abstinence does not work.  And Levi has said Bristol knows that.


In their custody agreement Levi and Bristol are not supposed to trash each other, so this book is living proof that Bristol broke the custody agreement.


And unfortunately thanks to skanky slutty Bristol her son Tripp will not have the pleasure of spending it with his daddy, Levi Keith Johnston.  Thanks Bristol you cunt!  But then again maybe Levi isn't the real father Bristol?

UPDATE-Levi isn't the only one who gets burned in this fiction novel.

From Gawker

Finally, the political-daughter-turned-memoirist smackdown we've been waiting for: Bristol Palin is taking on Meghan McCain.
While promoting memoir Dirty Sexy Politics, Meghan lamented Bristol's effect on her "self-esteem", slammed Bristol's family, and dissed reality TV. Now Bristol's promoting her memoir, and she's striking back. ABC News reports that America's most successful unsuccessful abstinence advocate thinks Meghan McCain is a high-maintenance, backstabbing brat:

Palin writes that the first time she met the 26-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain, she "ignored us during the entire visit." This was just before Senator McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin adds that she "had a sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back."
"Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining," she writes. "Oh the complaining."

"I'd never seen people with so much Louis Vuitton luggage, so many cell phones, and so many constant helpers to do hair and makeup," Palin writes.

Bristol has kinder words for Cindy McCain, describing her "like a queen" and "like royalty." But she got confused when Cindy offered to be the godmother of her unborn child: "I had just met her and I wondered why she wanted any type of guardianship over my child." Maybe Cindy was trying to rescue a needy infant from a lifetime of squalor? She has a reputation for charity.

Anyway, Meghan has yet to tweet about Bristol. Maybe she's saving her outrage for an opinion column? She can't not respond—flying off the handle at every slight is Meghan's greatest talent. Which, come to think of it, is downright Palinesque.

Geesh Bristol!  Cindy was just offering spiritual guidance to you and the baby.  God knows you could use some.  It's also pretty shitty of you to slam the McCains considering John pulled your mother out of obscurity.  If it wasn't for him you wouldn't be on DWTS, writing fiction books, preaching abstinence, and being on reality shows.  You would still be in Wasilla working at the local Starbucks as a Barista.

Meghan's response to Bristol is right here  Very classy and I don't even like Meghan, even though she is not chickenshit to go on Rachel Maddow's show.

Elizabeth Edwards, Sandra Bullock, and Elin Woods had every reason to trash their hubbies on public but they didn't. Why? Because they have class and care about their kids.

Also Bristol said she and Levi were using condoms but she switched to the pill even though she suspected he was straying. Duh! Didn't she know that the pill does not prevent STD's? That's abstinence only education for ya.


And Bristol goes after her ex-uncle Mike Wooten:

From the Daily Beast

Bristol’s Uncle Mike, a burly state trooper standing six foot four and weighing in at 250 pounds, was the cause of some early drama in her life. First, back in 2003, Bristol witnessed Uncle Mike shoot a Taser gun at her cousin, Payton. As Payton was recovering from the shock, Uncle Mike looked over at Bristol and said, “Bristol, you’re next.” (Pg. 25) Bristol screams, and tells her mother about the incident. Later, it’s revealed that there were a bunch of citizen complaints against Mike, ranging from boozing in his patrol car to people claiming they witnessed him illegally kill an animal on a hunting trip. Later on, Uncle Mike carries out a very public affair with the mother of Bristol’s friend Jenna. The affair results in Bristol’s Aunt Molly divorcing Uncle Mike, Jenna’s mom getting kicked out of the Mormon church, and Bristol losing all her friends, as kids at school chose sides between Bristol’s family and Jenna’s, a la “Team Jolie or Team Aniston.” (Pg. 39) Bristol also thought, “It was the first time—but not the last—that I realized how someone’s sexual sin could rock everyone around him or her.” (Pg. 40) Later, Mike confronts Bristol in the hallway of her high school—where he is an assistant coach—and calls her a “fucking bitch” under his breath. (Pg. 43)

Geoffrey Dunn clears up Troopergate in his book.

She also talks about the alleged threat of gang rape while she was in Juneau.

They began by threatening Bristol and telling her to stay away from their boyfriends, and then, things got serious when some of Bristol’s classmates posted an Internet threat against Willow. “An eight-grade girl told twelve-year-old Willow that her Samoan brothers were going to gang-rape her,” said Bristol. (Pg. 67) Later, a boy posted on MySpace: “Bristol’s a slut when she’s drunk and a slut when she’s sober.” Bristol says these early bullying incidents helped her develop a tough exterior and handle all of the gossip about her family.

BS on that one too.  Sarah never reported the threats to police and didn't increase security for Bristol.  Why?  Cuz you can't report on something that never happened and you would have to justify why you are increasing security for your daughter.

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

Bristol is renting her house out

From Hollywood Gossip

Just six months after dropping $172,000 in cash for a home in Arizona, and just weeks after Sarah Palin reportedly bought her own house in Arizona to keep tabs on her, Bristol Palin is peacing out of the Grand Canyon State.

Bristol's Maricopa, Az., pad is now for rent at $1,400/month if you're interested.

"Yes, it is for rent, but I have no further comment," Bristol Palin tells E! News.

Sarah's eldest daughter will be starring in a new reality show focusing on her making the move to L.A., where she and son Tripp will cohabitate with brothers Kyle and Christopher Massey and work at a charity.

Bristol is reportedly dating Kyle Massey and Sarah Palin is reportedly livid.
The five-bedroom, 3,900-SF pad she purchased back in December went on the market this week, said Nate Martinez of RE/MAX Professionals.

Like the mind of Sarah, it sounds like it's been empty for some time.

"She was living in it, I don't know how long, I didn't sell it to her," Martinez tells E! News. "When I listed the home it was already vacated."

Well, well, well!

Wonder if the money pipeline is drying up.   She's done with Candie's, other than her "reality show" with the Massey brothers and her book which I heard sales have been slow, makes me think she's running out of money.

Some of the e-mails are pretty damning-Update

Like this one.

Jeremy Morlock wrote Sarah asking if she could get him a Compassionate Reassignment.  His mother was having problems after the death of her husband.  Sarah ignored it.  Jeremy is responsible for murdering that Afghan boy, but if Sarah had helped him he may not have snapped.  Damn you Sarah!

This e-mail confirms that Bristol was attending Anchorage West High School in Feb 2008.  Just means she was over her "mono" by then.

The e-mails also confirm what Frank Bailey said in his book, that they ghost wrote letters to the editor and had their friends sign them.

And Sarah really really hates Lyda Green.

Update-And here is an e-mail of interest:

Wonder what this means.  Is this where she got Trig?

Wrapping up the Sarah Palin One Nation Bus Tour

It was a failure!  It proved she is still not presidential material.

She and her family showed up uninvited to the Rolling Thunder Rally, then pushed her way to the front of the motorcade.

The driver of her bus is a safety menace, almost killed a bicyclist.

Daughter Piper was rude to reporters and even body checked one.

Sarah lied or was ignorant about Paul Revere and who he was warning.

Sarah also upstaged Mitt Romney while he was announcing his presidential bid.

Todd and Bristol got the hell out of Dodge as soon as they could.

Sarah and Bristol left their children at home. Bad mothers.

The only thing Sarah and her family did on this trip was confirm they are still trash.

When dealing with certain people, playing by the rules simply does not work.

First I have to say I am very sorry for my long absence.

I was really trying to do everything in my power to see my nephew. If that meant not being able to blog in order to see him, then that was what I was going to do it.

As you all know family is number one to me, and always will be, and I would do just about anything for Tripp.

I have now reached the conclusion that no matter what I do I will not be allowed to see my nephew. I held up my part of the bargain and stopped blogging, but they couldn't hold up their part of the deal, and and have refused to let me see him.

I would gladly never blog again if that meant I could see my nephew, because that is all I've ever wanted.

Like I've said before, no matter what I do Bristol will always come up with some reason not to like me, and some excuse to keep Tripp away from me.

It is unfortunate she has to act this way and I'm starting to lose any hope that she will ever change.

I feel sorry for my nephew since he is the real victim here, and I have to wonder what she's going to tell him once he's old enough to ask about me, his aunt Mercede, and his other grandparents. She is not just keeping him from me, she is keeping him away from everybody on our side of the family.

Now that I know that I did all this for nothing it's open season.  From now on I  plan to write about anything and everything.

In the weeks to come I will be addressing some of the most recent news items and rumors about the Palins, as well as try to answer some of your questions about my family, my brother, and myself.

I appreciate how patient and supportive all of you have been.

Thank you very much,

Mercede

Why is it OK for the Palins to slam Levi yet he cannot do the same back?

From Hollybaby.com

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy has only seen their two-year-old son Tripp ‘a handful of times’ in the past year, according to sources close to Alaska’s former first family.

As Levi Johnston, 21, prepares to release his expose, Deer In The Headlights: My Life In Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs in September — the Palin family are begging him to end his attacks on the ex-Governor and be a proper dad.

“Levi’s seen Tripp maybe just a handful of times in the last year,” a source tells Star magazine. “There were months when he and Bristol were both in Alaska and he didn’t visit.”

“It would be nice to think that Levi would like to have some sort of relationship with his child, but so far that hasn’t happened.”

It’s not the first time Levi’s been accused of abandoning his son — back in January, Bristol, 20, told the Bob & Mark Radio Show her former fiance had spent just 12 hours with his son since she ended her stint on Dancing With The Stars the previous fall.

A source close to the Palins tells HollyBaby.com that Levi is an absentee father, adding that Bristol offers him plenty of opportunity to see Tripp, but he declines the offers.

We have put out numerous calls and emails to Levi’s attorney and manager, but those calls have remained unanswered.

Is it time Levi stopped his war with the Palins, if only for the sake of his son?

Sarah and Bristol, it's kinda hard for Levi to see Tripp when you move him to AZ and refuse Levi access to him.  Levi you need to get better legal representation if you want to see your son.  Write that book!  If they sue you for slander, the burden of proof is on them, not you.

What the fuck? Bristol gets a "reality show"

From the Ottawa Citizen

Single mom Bristol Palin has landed her own reality TV show, and producers say she will allow cameras "exclusive access" into her personal life for the first time.

The small U.S. BIO cable channel said on Monday it had ordered 10 half-hour episodes of a documentary series that will follow Palin and her two-year-old son Tripp as they move to Los Angeles and work for a small charity there.

Palin, 20, the unmarried elder daughter of Tea Party favourite Sarah Palin, became a celebrity in her own right last year by waltzing her way to the finals of Dancing With the Stars despite having two left feet.

Late last year she bought a fivebedroom house near Phoenix, Ariz., with her earnings from the show and as a spokeswoman for a teen abstinence campaign group. At the time, she was reported planning to attend college there.

But the as-yet-untitled TV documentary will see Palin moving in with two former child stars, brothers Kyle and Christoper Massey. She and Kyle competed on the same season of Dancing With the Stars.

The series is scheduled to air in late 2011, BIO channel said.

"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," said David McKillop, executive vice-president of programming at BIO Channel.

"Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey brothers."

Monday's announcement follows speculation that Palin may have undergone plastic surgery. Photos taken at an appearance by the young mom at a red carpet event in New York last week showed her with a slimmer, heart-shaped face and chin.

In March, Palin signed a deal for a book about her life growing up in Alaska in the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother Sarah, who grabbed the national spotlight when she was chosen as Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008 elections.

Yep Bristol is setting a really good example.  She is teaching young girls in order to be rich and famous all you have to do is lay on your back and get injected with man juice and presto!  You have a baby who will make you rich.  At least its on the Bio channel which no one watches anyway.

Bristol is now claiming it was jaw surgery to explain her new appearance

From MSNBC

Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure — but not plastic surgery.

The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw.

The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.

"Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons," she told the magazine for its May 23 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday.

Palin said she had the procedure so her jaw and teeth could properly realign.

While growing up, she wore braces and a device to help correct an overbite. But she said her dentist warned her that she'd have to have surgery one day.

The Palin family's lawyer declined to comment to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Palin said she is pleased with the new look.

"I look older, more mature and don't have as much of a chubby little baby face," she told the magazine.

Palin said she doesn't obsess over her face and would consider plastic surgery only in an extreme situation.

"I wouldn't get plastic surgery unless I got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured," she said.

Palin will be back on TV by the end of the year, starring in a reality series for the Bio Channel. The as-yet-untitled series will follow her move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity. She will live with actor brothers Kyle and Christopher Massey.

Kyle Massey is a fellow "Dancing" contestant and Palin's good friend, the network said.

I smelled bullshit the second I read the title to this story on MSNBC.

Jaw surgery DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR CHIN.  Bristol had a double chin before the "surgery".  Dental surgery does not remove the fat under a chin.  Nor does it change your eyebrows and forehead either.  Do the Palin bitches ever stop lying?  Oh never mind.
