Sarah Palin reportedly asks dumb question during weekend brawl

(WaPo) Amanda Coyne is the namesake of AmandaCoyne.com that has the tagline “Inside Alaska politics……so you don’t have to be.” And thank goodness for her. Otherwise, we would not have learned every delicious detail of last weekend’s South Anchorage birthday party brawl that reportedly involved Sarah Palin’s family.

Palin is the former half-term governor of Alaska and losing 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee who is now a wealthy best-selling author and reality television star. We all know who she is. Certainly, Alaskans know who the Palins are. Yet, that didn’t stop Palin from reportedly yelling, “Don’t you know who I am?” during the fight. That’s a major no-no of celebrity. You just don’t do that. And if you’re the Palins, you really shouldn’t have to do that in Alaska, of all places. But I’m jumping ahead.

With just the right amount of snark, Coyne recounts what happened through the eyewitness account of Eric Thompson. After the Palins arrived via stretch Hummer, Track, Sarah’s son, spotted his sister Willow’s ex-boyfriend Conner Cleary, who was there with his parents, Steve and Melissa.

Thompson didn’t see this part, but other witnesses, who didn’t want to be named, say that Conner and Track fought on the front yard. Steve tried to break it up. Todd jumped into the mix and began to choke Steve.


Todd, you will recall, is the patriarch of the Palin clan and was one of those celebrating his birthday at the party. Anyway, Thompson then spots Willow and her sister Bristol, who were seen wearing sunglasses at a nighttime party, “walking straight towards (Conner, Steve and Melissa) with purpose.” ................(more)

next door to my cedar house. I live in a melting pot neighborhood. She really showed herself. I hope TMZ gets the film.

I worry that they might have destroyed evidence. That one guy already lost his job over coming forward. Sarah and her crew are nothing if not vindictive.
