Palin Family Shockers: What Sarah's Really Hiding

[Newsjock]

Source: National Enquirer

... The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that Sarah's oldest son, Track, was addicted to the power drug OxyContin for nearly the past two years, snorting it, eating it, smoking it and even injecting it. And as Track, 19, heads to Iraq as part of the U.S. armed forces, Sarah and her husband Todd were powerless to stop his wild antics, detailed in the new issue of The ENQUIRER, which goes on sale today.

THE ENQUIRER also has exclusive details about Track's use of other drugs, including cocaine, and his involvement in a notorious local vandalism incident.

“I’ve partied with him (Track) for years,” a source disclosed. “I’ve seen him snort cocaine, snort and smoke OxyContin, drink booze and smoke weed.”

... And as Gov. Palin has billed the state of Alaska for various expenses related to her children, as reported by The Washington Post, The ENQUIRER's investigation reveals that she was so incensed by 17-year-old Bristol's pregnancy that she banished her daughter from the house.

1. Since when is National Enquirer LBN? n/t

[snooper2]

3. Since Faux news called them legit..

on reporting on Edwards :rofl:

[Hugin]

5. It's a Brave New World out there.

:hide:

[Ian David]

9. They're a legitimate news source now. Sean Hannity says so. n/t

[Jefferson23]

11. LOL, good one.

[notadmblnd]

14. since the republicans said it was a credible source of news.

a la John Edwards. You don't have a problem with that now do you?

[tulsakatz]

30. yeah, who would have thought........

...that the Edwards story would actually be good news?

[IndianaGreen]

26. Since they broke the Edwards' love child and affair story

I demand the MSM spent as much time on the Payton Place Palin's as they did on the Edwards family.

[NNN0LHI]

56. Actually their record on getting their facts right seems to be better than the NYT

Sad but true.

Don

[Vanje]

78. Too true nt

[roguevalley]

82. since they been right.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Chip . . . chip . . . chip . . . chunk!

[MidwestTransplant]

4. It only makes sense as her town is the teen pregnency and meth capital of Alaska. That said,

I don't think her kids should be brought into this. What about the affair the Enquirer was supposedly working on?

[Newsjock]

6. Apparently there's news on that front, too

"Meanwhile, as members of the Palin family’s war viciously over “Trooper-Gate” and claims of Sarah’s extramarital affair have turned the political race into a chaotic arena of threats, denials and vicious attacks by political black ops, The ENQUIRER has discovered shocking new details about the red-hot affair scandal!"

But they're not on the website yet, it seems.

[pinkpops]

29. lookie here

http://www.the-peoples-forum.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=4216

Four high school students were arrested Monday on charges stemming from vandalism last week that disabled a school bus fleet, closing core-area schools for a day in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, according to the Alaska State Troopers. Three boys -- a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds -- were taken to the Mat-Su Youth Facility after their 10:30 a.m. arrests at their homes. The fourth, Deryck Harris, 18, was arrested at 2:51 p.m. at home and jailed at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility.

[ensho]

10. she made her children fair game when she paraded them on stage

and portrayed the family as wholesome

[kurth_]

15. Exactly

She must be exposed.

Her family is not the typical, normal, average American family. Downright trash, actually.

[Hugin]

16. Question:

Is 'wholesome' a synonym for 'fertile'?

Note: I am definitely not trying to in any way say anything which would indicate any lack of deference or respect to the family of Gov. Sarah Palin or any of their subsidiaries.

[noonwitch]

41. The kids didn't ask her to run for office

I still say leave the kids alone. I agree that she is a hypocrit for portraying her family as wholesome, if these allegations are true. But even if she deserves the attack, the kids still don't deserve it.

[mitchum]

60. Absolutely, she used them as props; it's not OUR fault that they are shoddy props

[pampango]

61. Absolutely. No other politician has ever paraded their family on stage

at a convention. ;)

[notadmblnd]

19. I think it reflects on her as a politician and a parent. Apparently she's so busy ladder climbing

that her kids are raising themselves. And if she'll forsake her own kids to get what she want's, what will she do to this country?

[Sequoia]

51. Flower's in the Attic comes to mind.

[yurbud]

58. that was one of the scariest movies I ever saw. I had a very conservative friend in college who

LOVED the book and said I MUST see the movie with her. I thought it would be some sappy Touched by an Angel crap, but it was an orgy of extreme family dysfunction.

I'm not sure what my friend liked about it except that she had a very controlling mom.

[lisainmilo]

7. Can't you tell she is a great mother???

:sarcasm:



Why not bring you 3 month old who has down syndrome to a national convention all night and parade the baby around! Yeah, great soccer mom!



:sarcasm:

Sickening!

[CoffeeCat]

17. I don't blame Palin for bringing Trig...

...to the convention.

I'm the last person to stick up for her. She's wrong on every single policy issue
and she has no experience at all. She's the worst possible pick.

However, she was presenting herself and her family to the country. Trig is part of
her family. As a mom of two young children, I would have brought my baby! I took
my babies everywhere, day and weeks after they were born--because I was so proud.

I don't see what is so sickening about this. Trig is a part of the family and it
would have made less sense if he had been absent from her big night.

[kiranon]

43. Because he has Down Syndrome and lights/noise not good for him.

Enough said.

[Ian David]

8. Come on already. Jerry Springer won't be able to cover The Palin Family without a 2-part episode. nt

[ensho]

12. wonder what Dr. Phil has to say about Palin - lol

he sure jumped into Britney's business. don't see him jumping into Palin's business.

[Ian David]

13. Dr. Phil's degree is in bullshitology, not mooseshitology. n/t

[zazen]

20. that's GREAT. . Dr. Phil _is_ so full of it n/t

[Ian David]

23. "This child has all the signs of a serial killer...

"Let's put him on TV, so that even if he does get better, he'll be feared his whole life."

[valerief]

18. Ah, so that's why number one son is being shipped off to Iraq--to keep from embarrassing her

and disrupting the campaign.

Very Republicanesque.

[Doremus]

25. It may have been a condition imposed by the court: enlist or jail

[agentS]

34. I thought they stopped doing that after Vietnam?

Wasn't that in Full Metal Jacket or Hamburger Hill or something?

[nadinbrzezinski]

66. They started three years ago or so

guess where? small towns first, but now it is the rage

[Tikki]

21. This may sound mean....but, this appears to be the kind of parents and kids that

James Dobson warns parents to keep their children away from.


Tikki

[tridim]

22. Throwing an untreated addict in the active military is a stupid idea.

I bet he goes AWOL within days.

Why is there so much Oxycontin in small town Alaska? Who is bringing it up there?

[IndianaGreen]

27. There is an increasing drug abuse problem in the military

Looks like our military adventurism has turned into a bonanza to the opium trade.

[LynneSin]

63. Well you can thank the Iraq war for that

Hell Track wouldn't even be in the army if this were peacetime. But the army can't be fussy on who they recruit.

[Plucketeer]

28. I like the photo

Can't you write across it: "Oink?"

[okieinpain]

32. no shit, isn't sending junior to iraq with a drug problem the wrong

thing to do.

[Tanuki]

33. Lots of info here on drug trafficking in Alaska

http://www.addictionsearch.com/treatment/AK/alaska.html

"Due to its non-centrally location compared with the rest of the United States and common border with Canada, Alaska has become a transit zone for drug smugglers. The state also has become a major consumer of illicit drugs despite is remote location. The majority of the drug trade is carried out by the Mexican and Dominican drug organizations/cartels.

Over the past 2 decades, Alaska has seen some of the highest per capita use of controlled drugs and large drug seizures have become common. Associated with the illicit drug trade is one of the highest incidence of alcoholism, money laundering, violence, rape and suicide when compared to the rest of the United States.

The major drug trafficked in Alaska is crack cocaine. The trafficking is usually done by the Mexican and Dominican organizations. The cocaine originates from the Southern USA arriving via South America. Because of Alaska’s remote location and difficulty bringing in drugs, the drug cartels resell cocaine at exorbitant prices. In addition to cocaine, black tar heroin is also available in Alaska. The spread of this drug is done by the Mexican organizations.

Today, Oxycontin and methamphetamine have replaced heroin as the drug of abuse. Like all other states, methamphetamine abuse has become an epidemic in Alaska because of its easy availability and cheap price. To counter the methamphetamine abuse, legislation has been passed to remove pseudoephrine from cold remedies. This legal maneuver has helped decrease the abuse of methamphetamine. Drug trafficking organizations obtain the majority of methamphetamine for sale in Alaska from the Southern USA and transport it across state lines using various couriers systems."

52. ohhhhhhh..... you think Cindy chose her?

[valerief]

62. Not Rush Limbaugh.

[The Backlash Cometh]

24. If true, then enlistment is offering instant redemption?

[Plucketeer]

31. Really?

"The ENQUIRER's investigation reveals that she was so incensed by 17-year-old Bristol's pregnancy that she banished her daughter from the house."

My GOODNESS! would that not be a shining example of one of them "Thousand points of light? :puke:

[undeterred]

35. So thats why they call him "Track"?

and they're sending him to protect the military's highest officers?

[blublu]

36. http fails to conect

Hi, can someone give me a new link to the above site (national enquirer, says that its "not found"). I'm unable to connect, many Thanks.

[Newsjock]

37. Here is a scan of the pages from the Enquirer

http://gawker.com/5047794/teen-daughter-pregnant-son-on-drugs-whats-next
From the Gawker website, although the text probably isn't big enough to read:

[blublu]

40. o:)

Great, many thanks

[Delphinus]

42. I see that baby daddy thing

and it reminds me of a YouTube video of a young African-American male saying *he* was Bristol's baby's daddy.

[orleans]

71. shit! i bought the wrong one! n/t

[Sin]

38. Some things she Just cant hide :)

http://punditkitchen.com/2008/09/08/political-pictures-sarah-palin-executive-experience-wasilla-city-hall/

[fascisthunter]

39. Drug Addiction Sucks... now Watch how the Right Spins It

when it's a democrat/liberal or a minority, it's because they had bad parenting the person addicted is a BAD PERSON..... but because it's a Republican-so-called redneck, it's just his struggle against "evil". The hypocrisy will be once again on display for America...

[notadmblnd]

44. Well at least Track won't hsve to buy his drugs on the streets any more.

I'm sure Cindy McCain will be willing to sell from her stash.

[JeanGrey]

45. SOURCE?? PROOF?

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

46. Did the Enquirer just admit what i have suspected....

" The ENQUIRER's investigation reveals that she was so incensed by 17-year-old Bristol's pregnancy that she banished her daughter from the house."

Right, it was not because she had mono, she was pregnant with Trig.

[Sabriel]

47. Didn't that anthrax mailing teach them their lesson?

I guess not. And that's nice to see.

Very disturbing that I'm coming to consider the NE as a useful and reliable source of information. I guess that's where the MSM has left me.

[Raksha]

64. I'm thinking maybe it's revenge for the anthrax mailing.

The Enquirer might not go out of their way for it, but if it falls into their lap like this they're gonna run with it. The neocon mafia isn't gonna attack them again no matter what--that would just be TOO obvious.

[fjc]

48. Wow. How fast yall went for this.

Are you so hungry for dirt that you don't stop even to wonder anymore about this rag? My advice is to just leave this alone. Let it go where the Enquirer wants to take it, but don't try helping them along as cheerleaders. They'll burn anybody and consider it part of their "legitimacy".

[mitchum]

49. Well, OxyContin is known as "hillbilly heroin"

[Sequoia]

50. She banished her daughter !!!?

That poor Bristol she's got the rock and hard place on her for sure. Any parent who banishes their daughter for getting pregnant deserves the wrath of God.

[tbyg52]

76. >>Any parent who banishes their daughter for getting pregnant deserves the wrath of God.

And no votes from anybody. If this were a Dem, they'd be shocked, shocked.

[scarface2004]

53. thank god for the enquirer!

now how about the frog boy she gave birth too, then boiled and ate it!!

[yurbud]

54. kick

[yurbud]

55. go back and see what righties said about Clinton, Gore, and Kennedy kids. Hell, with Kennedy's....

they drill down to second and third cousins like William Kennedy Smith and Skakel, the latter I don't think is even a blood relative.

[yurbud]

57. freerepublic.com on Al Gore's son's arrest:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1860796/posts

[ticked]

59. As more and more of her family's dirty laundry gets

plastered all over the news, I wonder why in the world did she accept the nomination for VP. Did she honestly think that the press wouldn't dig up all her skeletons and expose them to the world. I actually feel bad for her kids, because they didn't ask for this crap.

[nadinbrzezinski]

67. When it moves from the Enquirer to the NYT call me

until then, it is mostly rumor for the crowd that will vote for them

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

74. because she is a narcissist. and selfish.

like GWB, she thinks she can make the rules, and they apply to everyone but her. She is so full of herself that she really thought she would be able to get away with it.

[bedazzled]

81. i feel sorry for them, too

they have lousy parents, no doubt about it.

[slackmaster]

65. My questions are - 1) How many uneducated, non-working women will register to vote because of it,

and 2) Who will they vote for?

[pacalo]

68. Funny, it occurred to me when I saw the boyfriend face up to McLame that he was forced to go.

Imagine having your son's life being dictated by politicians. I wouldn't stand for it; I'm not the type to grin & bear it where my kids are concerned.

On a lighter note, if his last name were "Myers", then Bristol would be "Bristol Myers" after the shotgun sound.

[arcadian]

69. Such an unfortunate name for am intravenous drug user.

[mitchum]

70. Maybe he can have a daughter and name her Ivy Palin

[demo dutch]

72. I think Palin needs to straighten out her own house before she tries the help the White house!

[jazzjunkysue]

73. Palin's goal of imposing her "family values" on all of us makes this a valid issue.

Also, because they clearly state her motherhood as one of her "qualifications" for president, this is on the table.

She's clearly getting what she deserves.

[cobalt1999]

75. It's not just the Palins. Many kids of fundamentalists are crazy.

Me and my buddies used to work to get invited to Church Youth outings as they were full of girls that were more than willing to have casual sex.

The guys were usually the worst elements in society too.

[Vanje]

77. K&R

I hope she's better at Hockying than she is at Momming.

[vssmith]

79. Where is Larry Flynt in our hour of need!

[Raine]

80. The Palin's put the "DIS" in DISFUNCTIONAL family

they're trash, pure trash.
