Re: the Palin's impending divorce ... who has the upper hand? Todd or Sarah?

[ColbertWatcher]

How does the disputed house on Lake Lucille fit into all of this?

Who is holding what over whose head?

[timeforpeace]

1. Upper hand? Fantasists who made up this story for weekend fun, maybe.

[ColbertWatcher]

5. LOL! n/t

[Kingofalldems]

2. It's a trap!!!

Might be a Palin trick.

[ColbertWatcher]

3. It's always a trap. n/t

[EFerrari]

4. Palin does. She's the one with GOP handlers.

On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Todd was the moving party. He always looked like he'd rather drive nails through his eyes than be at all those public events.

[ColbertWatcher]

Metrosexual doesn't seem to be his style. n/t

[WeDidIt]

6. Impending divorce?

Can you provide the link to the filing for divorce? I didn't know we had anything more than an unsubstantiated rumor.

[ColbertWatcher]

10. Can't I have a little fun? It's Saturday and the wiki's down! n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

7. Any word on the Ted Turner angle?

:evilgrin:

[Fearless]

8. Evidently, CBS is now denying the rumor.

[Aramchek]

11. CBS didn;t deny anything. Read the headline at your link.

[Fearless]

13. Read the body.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. Meh. According to CBS she has at least 2 lawyers.

I would suspect she has as many PR people too.

[Fearless]

15. The point is that CBS reporters are claiming this as well... read further...

"CBS News producer Scott Conroy, who followed Palin on the campaign trail last year, said the story of the couple not speaking to each other appears to be untrue.

As for the wedding ring, CBS News Political Director Steve Chaggaris said, Sarah Palin often campaigned without it."

[ColbertWatcher]

16. LOL!

The CBS reporters are not denying the Palins may be getting a divorce, they're responding to related "rumors."

Not the same thing.

Although, I would like to hear more from Andrea Mitchell who seemed to be sure that Palin was out of politics for good the day after Palin announced she was stepping down.

[Fearless]

21. Time will tell.

It makes no sense for the Palin camp to deny it if it were true. Even they are not that stupid.

[ColbertWatcher]

23. Noth8ing the Palin camp has done makes much sense. n/t

[Fearless]

25. Look, there is no middle ground here, either they divorce or they don't. ..

It's not something that can be hidden or disguised or spun. If they've denied it. They cannot be stupid enough to do so as a lie.

[ColbertWatcher]

27. True and since neither has actually denied it, there's no way to be sure. n/t

[Fearless]

29. Actually Palin's lawyers HAVE denied it.

[ColbertWatcher]

30. Right. Palin's lawyers, not PALIN herself. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

17. The lawyers seem to be handling a lot.

If I remember right from yesterday's announcement that Sarah would NOT be appearing at the Reagan Library, Meggie said that any future requests for appearances would have to be run through Sarah's lawyers.

Release Concerning Simi Valley Republican Women's Event:
As repeatedly stated to several in the media over the last week, former Governor Sarah Palin is not committed to attend the Simi Valley Republican Women's event at the Reagan Library and in fact is not attending the event. Neither the Governor's state staff nor SarahPAC has ever committed to attending this event or speaking at this event, and even requested that the Governor's name be removed from the invitation several weeks ago. The Governor has other work and commitments to take care of at that time. She looks forward to visiting her friends in California soon.

All event requests must be confirmed with Meghan Stapleton of SarahPAC. Additionally, all invitations bearing the Governor's name must be approved by her attorney before proceeding.

Thank you.
Meghan Stapleton

It seems odd that her lawyers would have to look at and approve invitations.

Also, too, Meg apparently forgets that Sarah is no longer governor, and since she QUIT, in my opinion she doesn't deserve the honorary title.

[ColbertWatcher]

24. She's using lawyers as secretaries! LOL! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. CBS isn't denying the rumors. Her people talking to CBS are denying the rumor.

[Fearless]

22. And they are reporting it.

It doesn't make sense to deny it for Palin if it were true. They are not that stupid.

[ColbertWatcher]

31. "They are not that stupid." Yes they are. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. +100!

[Fearless]

36. No. They're not.

They would lose their jobs if they started fanning the flames.

[ColbertWatcher]

38. Which "they" are you talking about?! n/t

[Fearless]

39. Palin's lawyers... No one in their position would release an official statement...

And be lying.

[ColbertWatcher]

40. I thought the spokesmodel was the one who released a statement not one of her lawyers! n/t

[Fearless]

42. No.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

33. What Colbert Watcher said!

[Fearless]

37. It's no wonder even with a majority we lose.

Complete and utter underestimation of the enemy.

It's really sad.

[ColbertWatcher]

41. That's not why and you know it. n/t

[Fearless]

43. Actually it is.

[1handclapn]

9. if he has the Orgy Videos.... he does

[ColbertWatcher]

14. LOL! There's orgy videos too! OMG! n/t

[1handclapn]

19. i heard why Palin quit cause the Who's Nail'n Pailin video made so much money she' start'n a Reality

show on Faux .. 'Who gets to Nail Pailn' 14 guys locked up in a log cabin with her in the winter. besides the weekly TV show there will be OnLine for pay Webcam action 24/7. i hear O'Liely has already bought a season pass.:applause: :popcorn: :rofl: :sarcasm:

[ColbertWatcher]

20. Must be true; I read on the internets!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6199841&mesg_id=6200078

[Fearless]

26. Must be true they're getting divorced too, it was on the internet.

:evilgrin:

[ColbertWatcher]

28. See? Now you're getting the hang of it! n/t

[MineralMan]

32. What if they're already divorced and the decree has been

sealed by the court? How would we know? I mean, were they even married? Where's the marriage certificate? A "Certification" of Marriage won't do. I want to see the actual "long form" Certificate, complete with the minister's signature and the witness' signatures.

Also, I'll need to see the minister's ordination papers, complete with official seal, and the official sealed birth certificates of the witnesses.

We have a right to know, after all.

[ColbertWatcher]

35. Well, if this whole thing is based on a story from the National Enquirer, she should sue. n/t
