Sarah Palin's husband Todd attacks biography for 'lies'
Source: BBC

Sarah Palin's husband has condemned "disgusting lies" contained in a biography of his wife due to be released next week.

The Rogue: The Search for Sarah Palin, a book by Joe McGinniss, alleges Mrs Palin had an affair in the 1990s, and has used cocaine, US media report.

It also claims the former Alaskan governor had a one-night stand with US basketball star Glen Rice.

Mr McGinniss moved into the house next door to the Palins in 2010.

The move prompted Mrs Palin to erect a fence between the houses to protect her privacy after news that Mr McGinniss had signed a book deal.

Mrs Palin, a potential 2012 presidential contender for the Republican party, has not yet commented on the claims.

1. ". . . And, besides, it weren't coke. I only snort meth."
"Sarah's the one who loved her Alaska snow candy."

3. Very nice...
...well used misogynistic wording. Coke snorting - fine. Whore....not so much.

Yup...you were the 1st. Hopefully, you will be the last.

7. If there's a grain of truth in that book, the Palins won't sue for defamation
as McGinnis would be more than pleased to enter evidence to prove the truth of his statements in his defense.

8. Todd should sue then. Kerry released personal Navy records to the press to prove the Swifts lied.
But then, he was a presidential candidate who HAD to do so.

Todd and Sarah have nothing standing in the way of a serious lawsuit against McGinniss....IF he lied about them.

29. Sadly, the Palin family legal team is *just* smart enough to talk him out of suing...
A Palin defamation lawsuit would make the media attention at the O.J. Simpson trial look like country traffic court...

12. A perfect ending for the woman who came out of the gate with race-baiting and violent rhetoric.
Throwing all of that red meat to her White audience. And here all the time she was palin' around with Negroes.

19. Yep...
She got 'em all lathered up to the point that they were yelling, "kill him" and she just giggled.
Pay-backs are a bitch, eh Sarah?

42. How do you figure it will be an ending?
Short of actual video footage of her snorting coke or having sex in her dorm room, you'll never be able to prove the allegations in the book. So those who want to believe it's true will do so, and those who don't want to believe it will not. And that's as far as you'll get.

Also, as for her allegedly snorting coke; so did Bush and so did Obama. And it didn't stop them from getting to the oval office. I don't know what will be the ending of this woman, but it's certainly not this.

Todd knew of the basketball team love affair with the Michael Irvin-sized bowls of coke, and did not refute it.

16. Todd is full of shit...the book has not been released yet and Toad is not privy to it..
There are three people McGinniss has sent his book to and Toad was not one of them.
Oh..and Toad's written "statement"? Ghostwritten.
Three syllable words are NOT in his vocabulary.
As Sarah might say, "Have you HEARD Todd"? :rofl:

20. Her administration members called McGinniss an "intellectual dishonest writer" lol!
That's some ghost writer the Palin's have.

"A few years ago he interviewed members of Sarah's administration for a magazine article, and afterwards they said that he was the most disingenuous and intellectual dishonest writer they'd ever dealt with."

All kinds of political parties have done that kind of thing.

27. I'll wait for Sarah to make the same claims.
Todd can say what he wants because it's not about him. It's his opinion. His wife on the other hand knows whether there are lies and other distortions in McGinness's book.

I noticed, too, that as disgusted as Todd is by the lies, he can't quite bring himself to identify one of those lies and what's inaccurate about it.

35. Hilarious!
...and every time I hear "Todd"...I cannot help but think of the SNL skit, "The Nerds" with Lisa Loopner and Todd DiLaMuca.

And ODDLY enough, I never EVER knew this:

"Guest stars included MICHEAL PALIN who played Mr. Brighton, Lisa's piano teacher with an uncontrollable libido..."
