Sarah Palin Offered $1 Million To Take Lie Detector Test

[RandySF]

Put your money where your mouth is Sarah Palin!

In a newly released book by Joe McGinniss the former Governor of Alaska is accused of cheating on her husband Todd Palin, with his ex-business partner, a charge which she vehemently denies, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the adult website AshleyMadison.com has offered the Palins $1 million to prove their innocence.

"His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo and smears," Todd Palin said of the book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin.

The website has offered Sarah and Todd Palin a "unique platform to prove that these allegations are not true," according to a letter exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com.

1. Don't hold your breathe

But then again...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Jack Rabbit]

2. A pathological liar can always pass a lie detector test

Giving Sarah Palin a lie detector test won't mean a thing.

6. Link to this? OJ Simpson, e.g., is rumored not to have passed.

8. The double murderer oj simpson didn't even pass the laugh test. n/t

19. Lie Detector Tests are notoriously unreliable

http://motherjones.com/politics/2002/11/lie-detector-roulette

Studies have long shown that polygraphs are remarkably unreliable, particularly for screening job applicants. As early as 1965, a congressional committee concluded that there was no evidence to support the polygraph's validity; a 1997 survey in the Journal of Applied Psychology put the test's accuracy rate at only 61 percent. Polygraph evidence is generally inadmissible in court because, as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas noted in his majority opinion in the 1998 case U.S. v. Scheffer, "there is simply no consensus that polygraph evidence is reliable." Indeed, the lie detector is so untrustworthy that Congress passed the Employee Polygraph Protection Act in 1988, making it illegal for private-sector employers to compel workers to take polygraph exams. Prior to the law's passage, according to Senate testimony, an estimated 400,000 workers suffered adverse consequences each year after they were wrongly flunked on polygraphs.

21. Not much better than a coin flip

3. Can't they find something better to do with $1 million?

[Motown_Johnny]

28. they are betting she won't take it, and the free publicity is valuable

it seems like a pretty smart move


calling them liars and trying to prove it in response to them calling the author a liar

[Siwsan]

4. She'd just quit, half way through

Ok, SOMEBODY was bound to write it.

[area51]

27. lol, n/t

[WinkyDink]

5. Offer her 5 and make her cry at refusing.

[Maccagirl]

7. Histoy proves that she'll do anything for $$$$$

I think the offer is hilarious.

[autorank]

9. k*r We're entering the Larry Flynt era of our decline

I saw this and thought it was about Glen Rice, but that's no in dispute.

I would hope that they did't ake that offer without knowing how it would come out.

[mercymechap]

10. Hmmm, how much?

I bet she and Todd had a long discussion about this - "Sarah: Todd, I know I can pass it, and we'll have an extra mil to play around with" - "Todd: What happens if you fail it? Then everyone will be making fun of me" "Sarah: Honey, if I can fool millions of people into believing what I tell them, what makes you think I can't fool a lil' ole' machine?"

[workinclasszero]

11. The Half Governor can make tens of millions

of dollars by continuing to spew right wing lies to gullible low info fox viewers so I don't think she will take the offer.

[customerserviceguy]

12. While this is deeply amusing

What would we make of it if a reich-wing organization were to make a financial offer to Bill Clinton on the things that he's neither admitted nor denied about the Lewinsky affair?

Lie dectectors are only stunts, suitable for circus sideshows.

[mercymechap]

15. We would think it was kinda late.......

I don't think Bill Clinton is money hungry like Sarah.

[customerserviceguy]

17. No, he's not

But I guess I could imagine a more contemporary situation involving someone who might have something to hide, and needs a few bucks. It would still be a silly stunt, and I wouldn't expect any person, right or left, to entertain the notion seriously.

[Nye Bevan]

13. This is stupid. Say she passed, would she be qualified to be President?

I think not.

[safeinOhio]

14. I've taken a lie detector test and passed

only because I was telling the truth. Trust me they are no fun to take.

[Major Nikon]

22. I've taken one and failed

Even though I was telling the truth. I later passed on a retake.

They are nothing more than pseudo-scientific bullshit.

[TalkingDog]

23. what you said. And welcome to DU

n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

16. The Palins are officially reduced to sideshow freaks

Just talk of this is all that was needed

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. She makes much more than that a day spewing her hate-filled rhetoric

They're going to have to top that. $1 million ain't shit to Failin Palin!

[dems_rightnow]

20. You can't be serious

More than a million a day? LOL

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

25. LOL! Of course I'm being facetious. I don't know how much she makes a day,

but I can imagine that $1 million ain't enough to bring her to a lie detector.

[HopeHoops]

24. Wouldn't prove anything. A lie detector test relies on functional brian cells.

[sarge43]

26. It also relies on something resembling a conscience. n/t
