Are these Sarah Palin's last days as a political entity? Is Sarah done? Is SarahPAC asking for the last donations they are likely to get.
Well if Joe McGinnis's book is accurate, her reputation is going to take a hit that even her followers may not be ignore.
The UK Daily Mail has some of the revelations today. Join me after the flip for sordid details
Sex, Drugs and Sarah Palin
Sex?
Yes,
A one-night stand with Basketball star Glen Rice when he was Alaska for tournament while in college. Here's Glen at Michigan who he led to the NCAA championship. And yes, he's African American and had a hell of a jumpshot. This was while dating Todd.
Glen Rice is said to have confirmed this affair to the author.
And a six month affair with one of Todd's business partners
The book goes on to claim that while married Mrs Palin also had an affair with one of her husband's business partners.
Todd is alleged to have ended all dealings with Brad Hanson after he found out about the secret six-month relationship in 1996.
Drugs?
Yes, allegedly she smoked pot with one of her college professors
Cocaine? Yes, while snowmobiling. Todd is alleged to be a frequent user of cocaine.
The rumor is that Sarah was waiting to see what was in this book before she decided to throw her hat in the ring. If McGinnis has his facts straight, I don't see how she could. I also know that a lot of her fans are immune to any criticism of her, but if she doesn't become a candidate, I think they are going to wondering which of these things are true.
UPDATE
10:36 AM PT: Book comes out Sept 20th. Media interest in this book will be huge.
Here's what the author says on his blog
http://www.joemcginniss.net/...
I did a three-hour interview with “an important person” from a major media outlet on Tuesday.
The result of that will be published nationally on Sept. 18.
On Thursday, I did an extended interview with a major figure from a national television network.
The result of that will be broadcast nationally on Sept. 19.
THE ROGUE goes on sale the next day.
It will not be ignored.
Yesterday, I spent five hours having my picture taken by a photographer for a major media outlet. .....
I am contractually bound not to disclose in advance any of the interviews I’m doing before Sept. 20, so I can’t say where any of these folks came from to visit me.
But the fact that on three different days this week heavy hitters made a seven-hour round trip from New York City to interview, film, and photograph a mere author does not suggest that there will be no interest in THE ROGUE.
Also this book is embargoed until the day of its release. No book reviewers got advanced copies. So the stories that we are seeing today are either strategic leaks or some folks got their hands on a copy somehow.
This will be one of the top media stories for the next few weeks. It's going to be a very rough month for Sarah Palin
