I’ve been holding off, no, ignoring, the “story” about Sarah Palin having an affair with her husband’s business partner. Why? Because there was nothing, NOTHING, more than speculation on the part of… well… everyone.
Here is the quick back story – Scott Richter, a Palin business partner, filed a sealing motion in Alaska Court to have his divorce records sealed. All of a sudden some members of the left think Sarah Palin MUST have been the cause. I mean, why else would someone want to have his or her court records sealed?
Left leaning bloggers kept asking the question “why won’t the media pay attention to this story”? Easy, it wasn’t a story. Thus far there is zero proof that anything illegal or questionable has happen. Melissa Clouthier can point us to the answer, which was uncovered by thesmokingun.com:
According to the filing, Richter wanted the documents deemed confidential in a bid to cloak details about his home, workplace, and phone numbers because “reporters and news agencies” were using that information to contact him.
Running for public office, especially on a national level, must be an incredibly stressful event. I cannot even image what Palin and her family is experiencing on a daily basis because of this. You can find photoshopped pictures of her on the Web, rumors of her having an affair, false claims about her daughter…I wonder what the next thing will be… We will have to wait but I think we can call this one closed.
