So, here it goes: What I have heard since, without much trying, and what I knew then, is that the cops were called after the brawl. Its confirmed that the Palins, all of them, were in some way involved in a fight at a house in Anchorage where a party was going on. Bristols son, Tripp was at the party. I have confirmed from multiple sources that Bristol punched someone repeatedly, and that charges might be filed. I spoke to a source yesterday who witnessed part of it. She said that some in the crowd were trying to restrain Sarah, who was clawing to get involved in the fight, which had moved to the cul-de-sac outside of the house. She was also screaming loudly. She wore platform high-tops with the American flag on them, and Bristol wore big, round shades. As I reported, Track was at some point in the night, shirtless.
The whole family arrived in a stretch Hummer limo, and had to be told to leave the house.

Fryer said the party was basically peaceable until the fight occurred around 11 p.m...He described the fight as a dog pile just like you see in a football game. Fryer didnt know who was involved. Im too old to fool with that stuff, he said.
On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin posted that she was traveling on Saturday. One commenter, Kimberley Vranckaert-Trujillo, claimed to be a witness to the incident, writing in the post thread: Interesting. ... pretty sure you were not traveling and you and family were on the Southside causing chaos. Saw it happen. Don't fib. The comment has since been removed.
Well, now, let's be fair: the Palins COULD have been traveling earlier in the day -- and since the party wasn't at their home, they had to travel to get there, right?

(50,528 posts)When well-known people ask "do you know who I am?" they are really saying "how dare you not let me do whatever I want?"
Oh man, I just did something really stupid: I looked at the headlines on her website. One of them is about President Obama's judicial nominees. Says Saint Sarah, his effort to shape the judiciary is a "power grab" and "another example of his imperial presidency." As we all know, Republicans shaping the judiciary is just good governance.

(12,795 posts)... that's been foisted on America. Seriously: cameras 24/7, misadventures, dumb stunts... It's as dumb and derogatory as any reality tv show where all the drama is drummed up and the main situations in which the family finds itself are contrived -- you know, situations in which they would not normally have found themselves unless they were on a tv show -- like having the matriarch run for the Vice Presidency!!!! And then... and then this family of wacky characters has to contend with sudden fame!!!11!! Yeah!!!111!
And mayhem and hilarity ensue.
Sure wish the producers would fess up and pull the plug on this project.

(273 posts)Maybe its time to start digging into McKenna Brothers paving and any contracts they may have gotten while Palin was governor or mayor or Wasilla. They've gotten some government contracts to maintain federal roads in national forests: http://www.publiccontractors.com/Mckenna%20Brothers%20Paving/3040227.html?q=Mckenna%20Brothers%20Paving&p=1 I'd be interested to find out what the "business" relationship is between the Palins and the McKennas.

(9,796 posts)High-profile conservatives are never, ever made to account for their wrongdoings. Within a few days, the same people who love to complain about black people "playing the victim" will be blaming everyone but Palin for her actions. She'll probably wade in on one of her self-glorification platforms and paint herself as the victim of the "lamestream gotcha media", the woman is DARVO incarnate. And, like all conservative pundits, she'll get off scot-free.
