Todd Palin to file for Divorce..

[HipChick]

Well..DM but great headline..

http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/

Sarah Palin could be set to lose both her marriage and her political career after the release of the explosive biography on the Tea Party darling. Friends close to the politician and her husband Todd say he is 'fed up' with the constant scandals that have plagued their marriage ever since she ran for vice president and is ready to file for a divorce.

As well as kissing goodbye to her marriage, it has also been alleged that her advisers have told her to kiss goodbye to the White House fearing a bid would be 'political suicide'.
Well I don't really know how valid the Daily Mail's sources are, but I CAN say that I have been hearing about the Palins preparing for divorce for over two years now.

My guess is that Todd will not leave Sarah as long as it is financial lucrative for him to stay with her.

1. Couldn't he go for Alimony and Child Support though?

Since he's 'supported' her through her career?

[oberliner]

2. The Daily Mail?

Come on now.

[HipChick]

4. DM is a right wing rag..

I know...but the tide has turned on Palin

[seabeyond]

3. why? all cause of something she did over two decades ago? all i heard was coke and one night stand

the coke? maybe. the one night stand. get real

[HipChick]

7. Affairs don't sit well with the image of Family Values...

[seabeyond]

14. i havent been paying attention. i thought it was while she was single.

but then i really dont care

thanks hipchick

27. The one night stand was whilst she was single..

...the blow was with Tawd iirc and the affair was with Tawd's business partner...

[seabeyond]

29. lol, knew about the supposed (which i probably believe) affair with partner.

so i suppose that was in the book, too? i didnt know that.

thanks.

5. Last sentence.......what I was thinking while reading the post

It'll be a hot day in Alaska before Todd gives up his gravy train. He'll wait until she is no longer relevant. If she doesn't run in the Republican primary, her days as an "influential" operative for the Tea Party and/or Republican Party will just about be done after 2012.

16. Republicon Family Grifter Values

What a sorry-ass soap opera Republicon Family Values produces...

[Blue_In_AK]

6. I really don't see this happening

as long as Sarah is making money. Relations have been frosty between these two for years, and yet they keep up the facade.

[HipChick]

8. I agree..married in name only...

[MADem]

10. When she stops earning, he'll file for his chunk--and run. NT

[MADem]

9. She's completely jumped the shark already. This little book is just the backsplash.

It'll make the author some money, though, and that's fine. Miz Palin has made a fortune by doing absolutely nothing (or absolutely nothing GOOD); someone might as well make a few bucks outing her about it.

Her fifteen minutes were up hours ago.

The only one who has anything to live down, at this late stage, is poor Glen Rice!

11. Maybe she can marry Limpballs as soon as wife #4

Kathryn Rogers, divorces him. Wouldn't that be a match made...somewhere. :bounce:

[Booster]

21. Yep. That's worth 10 million, as that seems to be the going

rate for divorcing Limpballs. Hard way to earn 10 million tho.

[hifiguy]

12. The Wasilla Kallikaks have had their day

in the sun. Soon the birds will come and cover them with leaves, much to everyone's relief.

[Raschel]

32. Not too sure about that. Last night the media was saying how she was right behind Obama in the polls

They keep trying to push her as legitimate, or normal.

That's why I K&R every revelation of her phoniness and nastiness.

[Jim Warren]

13. Cash Cow.

...

[Raschel]

33. Or cash moose.

[dtexdem]

15. How do they do an Alaskan divorce? Both shooting at each other from helicopters, or what?

;-)

[eShirl]

18. Either that or from their own little icebergs after being set adrift.

[jmowreader]

28. No, it's done with snow machines

They send both of them into polar-bear-infested territory. The one who makes it out gets all the marital property. If they BOTH make it out, they have to stay married.

[Nevernose]

38. I believenit's moose-jousting.

At least that's the traditional way of handling family disputes in Alaska.

17. Finally, my big opportunity to infiltrate the Tea Party from a top position

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SteveM]

19. He was 6' 8"??!!! Oh, wait....

[Jack Rabbit]

20. I have been hearing about the Palins preparing for divorce for over two years now

So have I, from the same source that told me the Clintons were splitting.

I guess you have trouble averting your eyes from fly-by-night headlines while standing in the checkout line, too.

22. Tabloid Sensationalism

Don't care. Lots of reasons to drop bombs on Palin. Whether or not she's getting a divorce is not one of them.

[liberal N proud]

23. Now that Pat Robertson has condoned divorce she will be fine.

[DrunkenBoat]

31. only if todd has alzheimers

[liberal N proud]

34. Sarah could claim that

It is a bazaar world in which we live.

[totodeinhere]

24. I doubt very seriously if he will ever walk away from that cash cow.

Yes, he might get a nice divorce settlement, but why bother with that? She pulls in millions now with speaking fees and book royalties, and Alaska is a community property state. Half of all that is his.

25. The Cynic In Me Says

The cynic in me says that News Corp. is trying to clear the path for some other Republican to clinch the GOP nomination for President in 2012. By discrediting the Wasilla Diva and her immediate family, the way will be cleared for some News Corp-friendly Republican to romp all the way to the GOP national convention in Tampa next August.

[Raschel]

26. I don't know, the media has been WAY easier on Palin than they have been on Bachman. Why is that?

Palin is definitely the less intelligent of the two, but they don't ever call her out on anything.

[Donnachaidh]

30. oh christ -- this means we'll have to deal with her stalking potential hubbies after this?

Ewwwwww...... I need to rinse my eyes...

[undeterred]

35. Lucrative? Think of the tell all books if he divorced her.

[chrisa]

36. How many times have they been 'divorced' already? lol
