Earlier, we speculated that John McCain had suspended his campaign in order to postpone, perhaps indefinitely, the debate between his vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, and the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, because Palin was not ready.
Another possibility is that the McCain campaign is trying to deflect attention from a new report in the National Enquirer that appears to confirm that Palin had an affair 12 years ago with her husband’s business partner:
No less than three members of the man’s family including one by sworn affidavit have claimed that Sarah Palin engaged in an extramarital affair with husband Todd’s former business partner, Brad Hanson.
These sources have named Hanson as Palin’s secret love, and say their affair nearly wrecked both their marriages.
Hanson owned a snowmobile dealership with Palin’s husband Todd, who immediately dissolved the partnership after he heard stories about the affair, which occurred around 1996, according to the sources. At the time, Palin was mayor of Wasilla.
Palin has vehemently denied cheating on her husband, and Hanson insisted to The NATIONAL ENQUIRER that he was never romantically involved with the 44-year-old Republican vice presidential candidate.
However, Hanson family insider, Jim Burdett, has gone on the record and passed a rigorous polygraph test, revealing details of the affair to The NATIONAL ENQUIRER in a world exclusive interview.
Burdett is a former brother-in-law of Hanson’s estranged wife Carolyn’s brother, Craig Batton, and still speaks with many family members.
Of course, no one takes the the Enquirer seriously, but their recent track record does include a report that John Edwards had an affair that appeared dubious at first but then proved to be accurate.
I don’t know nuthin about politics nor opera, but do you hear the sound of a fat lady singing.
The Enquirer is perhaps the most reliable of the supermarket tabloids. Let’s see where this goes.
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah-where is that FABULOUS Christian moral base of yours??? You little hussy, you.
Geez-you’d think that just 1 Repug politico could keep her/their pants on while she/they were married, wouldn’t you? Well, I guess this makes her truly qualified-right up there with Newt, Rush, oh, and John McC.
It’s very doubtful she had an affair, but even if she did, apparently the alleged incident was 12 years ago. The key is, her marriage is still going strong, despite whatever bumps there have been along the way!
Relax–Sarah is awesome.
