Indiscriminate humping around is a family tradition with the Palins.

Ooooooh...a rumor that Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's
business partner.

*From the website:

"Palin Affair:National Enquirer Palin Affair Rumor - Sarah Palin had an
affair with her husband Todd Palin’s business partner according to the
National Enquirer.John McCain’s campaign released a statement saying
that they will sue the National Enquirer for running the story about
Sarah Palin, alleged extramarital affair with her husband’s *business
partner.John McCain said"

And from the Enquirer website:

Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to quietly
have her daughter Bristol get married before news of her pregnancy
leaked out, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its new issue.

Palin planned for the wedding to take place right after the Republican
National Convention and then she was going to announce the pregnancy.

But Bristol, 17, refused to go along with the plan and that sparked a
mother-daughter showdown over the failed coverup.

The ultra-conservative governor’s announcement about her daughter’s
pregnancy came hours after The ENQUIRER informed her representatives and
family members of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol’s child, that we
were aware of the pregnancy and were going to break the news.

In a preemptive strike Palin released the news, creating political
shockwaves.

The ENQUIRER has also learned that Palin’s family is embroiled in a
vicious war that is now exposing her darkest secrets, threatening to
destroy her political career.

Palin’s ongoing war with her ex brother-in-law Mike Wooten, a state
trooper, has caused multiple sources to come forward with shocking
allegations about the governor.

* Details of those allegations, the family feud, and Palin’s attempt to
cover up her teen daughter’s pregnancy are in the new issue of The ENQUIRER.

Nothing would please me more than to see Ms. Palin go down in flames,
and perhaps take the GOP ticket with it. Not because of McCain, not
because of Bristol, but because of Palin's hypocritical bull****.- Hide quoted text -

Now I know why you appear to be such a dumb ass. You get your
information from the National Enquirer.
Did you see the article there about aliens mating with Bigfoot?

I never used to rely on the Enquirer for anything but a few laughs.
That changed a little when they were the only ones reporting the John
Edwards debacle. Turns out, they may be journalists after all, at
least when they want to be. They had the story and they knew it. They
refused to back down under all sorts of powerful threats. That's what
they are doing with this story, too.

On this kind of story, they suddenly have at least some cred. Unless
of course, the right wing wants to take back everything they said
about John Edwards as a result of believing the Enquirer's
reporting...
