Sarah Palin's husband Todd files for divorce because he 'finds it impossible to live together'

[Tripper11]

I know it's raw story...but still! Who gets the "snow machines"???

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s husband Todd filed for divorce after 31 years, according to blogger Craig Medred, who discovered the court filings.

His lawyers filed to dissolve the marriage on Friday, saying the couple has “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”

The family has had a slew of legal battles and suffered from scandals since Sen. John McCain’s campaign plucked the former governor out of obscurity to run as his vice president in 2008.

The couple’s eldest son has suffered considerable legal trouble after returning from serving overseas. Their daughter has become impregnated twice outside of the “sanctity” of marriage, while advocating abstinence-only lifestyle outside of marriage.

1. Why did it take him so long?

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. The fame train took this long to derail, perhaps?

[marble falls]

25. He's no peach either. He's a militia RWer who wants Alaska to secede from the union.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. She's being divorced by a militia RWer who can't stand living with her any more!

[marble falls]

31. Pretty much. Alcohol seems to be about the only glue they had.

[Qutzupalotl]

57. Weird, Vlad wants the same thing.

A weakened Alaska without the U.S. military to protect it.

Huh. Go figure.

[demmiblue]

60. Yep.

I'm guessing there is even more shittiness about him that we don't know about.

[bitterross]

41. Damn! You beat me to it! LOL!

I was going to reply almost the same thing.

[Mrs. Overall]

2. But but but marriage is sacred and family values...

[hlthe2b]

3. Well, that one is long in coming but hardly unpredicted...

He's no winner himself, but good heavens. Who'd want to be married to Palin--any of them?

[RKP5637]

4. The crazy must be just getting to be too much for Todd to tolerate and to sweep under the rug! n/t

[marble falls]

26. He might be crazier than she is.

[Trenzalore]

81. My guess is there are money problems

The grift got harder after Trump took all the oxygen.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Sarah who?

[onetexan]

11. was gonna say.. the Palins haven't yet crawled back into the woodworks they came from?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. I was so glad to finally be rid of her in national politics

She stayed long past her expiration date. Remember how, back in the day, how we thought that she was the least qualified pick for VP and almost everybody unanimously agreed with that assessment? And then we still actually wound up with somebody even MORE unqualified- for POTUS?!

[onetexan]

15. me 2, unfathomable. But here we are :(

hopefully with great candidates like Mark Kelly and Valerie Plame next year we can kick the Idiot & GOP enablers to the dustbin where they belong.

[GopherGal]

76. That's the problem

When the speaking gigs and Fux Nooz appearances dried up, they were stuck actually spending time with each other...

[Mendocino]

6. Momma grizzly

is on the prowl. Maybe Todd finally sobered up.

[Meadowoak]

59. And he's gettin' all mavricky!

[lunatica]

94. Didn't she claim she was a momma pit bull?

[Mendocino]

95. Is she going to be wearing

Bristol's thong dress when she's stepping out?

[NewJeffCT]

7. Other sources have the same story

Daily Beast, NY Daily News, etc

[lunasun]

8. What ? The Family of Family Values fame

“Action Today, don’t listen to liberals when they mock “family values” like they’re some relic of an ancient past. Rather, pass them on to your kids and watch what God does to change the world,”

Biggest divorce issue will probably be division of all their guns and ammo

[A HERETIC I AM]

23. "Biggest divorce issue will probably be division of all their guns and ammo"

.....

[NurseJackie]

84. Oh dear! ROFL!

[MyOwnPeace]

93. "Biggest divorce issue will probably be division of all their guns and ammo"

Sorry, I disagree. I think it will be the kids.

Todd: "You take them!"
Sarah: "No, YOU take them!"


Oh, and payment for all of the newspaper and national magazine subscriptions she gets to "keep up with the facts............"

[demmiblue]

9. I think they are both garbage. Lol... flashback time:

You Want the Palin Brawl? Here it is.

I’ve been asked countless times over the last couple days to weigh in on the Palin’s drunken rumpus that has now dominated the national news cycle. I’ve been begged. BEGGED. “You of all people!” “I’ve been waiting!” “Don’t let us down!”

Honestly, I would rather be rolled in French fry grease, sprinkled with sea salt and fed to the ravens. It may be the same reason I disdain tabloids, and rubbernecking accidents. But because I love you I will weigh in, in whatever manner there is left to weigh in on the Hindenburg that is the Palin family.

I knew as soon as I read Amanda Coyne’s original piece, I knew what was going to happen. I’ve lived the Palin news cycle more times than I care to remember. And so I watched from the sidelines as the story went from local blog, to local blog, to news website, to a national story. The pattern has always been the same – three days from first report to national headline. It’s like dropping a gallon of milk and watching the unstoppable lake spread across the kitchen.

When I read the details, I found myself feeling strangely unsurprised. But aren’t we all, deep down, utterly unshocked? We may think we’re surprised; it may feel like we should be surprised, but we know already about Sarah and Todd’s screaming arguments, the dented refrigerator from the hurling of canned food. We have seen what happens to people, especially kids, who are rewarded with fame and riches despite having done nothing to earn them. We see everywhere in the tabloids, and gossip columns, and celebrity magazines those who are fueled by high-octane blend of narcissism, entitlement, and idiocy. This was bound to happen. If you subscribe to the theory that everything that has happened has created exactly the circumstances of the present moment, it was destiny.

[BlueMTexpat]

36. Thanks for reminding me of

the Mudflats blog.

I was once a devoted follower and then got too busy. I always loved her posts. Your post has spurred me to check back.

Here is the link to more recent posts - although not about SP: https://www.themudflats.net/

Your archive post is from 2014. It took Todd five years more to call it quits.

Eta: I have no clue where the strange logo on my sig came from - I'll try to get rid of it.

[malaise]

104. That logo showed up on my signature line as well

and I saw it on some other DUers sig lines as well. I deleted it from the beginning of my sig line

[imanamerican63]

10. "You bettcha"!

What took him so long?

[BlueStater]

12. I might have some sympathy for her if she wasn't a terrible fucking person.

Just like with Don Jr.'s divorce, it's hard not to take some glee in this.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Her out-of-the-gate mocking of community organizers

left a terrible first impression of her in my mind and have loathed her ever since.

[in2herbs]

16. Can't wait for his book. /s/

[marble falls]

28. Will the crayons come with it or will they be separate?

[UTUSN]

17. K&R for WAAhhh!1

[HipChick]

18. Got to hand it to Todd..

He deserves a medal for listening to that voice all those years....

I can't listen to that voice for 5 mins...

[sarge43]

70. That voice will be used on Hell's load speakers. n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

103. Sarah's voice....

Reminds me of the seen in JAWS when Robert Shaw scratches his nails on the Chalkboard and everyone looks back in bewilderment.

[Va Lefty]

20. How's that lifetime marriagey thing workin' for ya?

[Bob Loblaw]

56. The 'til deathie do you partie thing?

Maybe Todd objected to the foursome she probably had with Trump, Kid Rock, and the Nuge under the flags in the oval office.

[Va Lefty]

65. There's a mental image I could do without

[Bob Loblaw]

87. Sorry lefty

If it helps, just picture a Big Mac wrapper, a faded stars and stripes bandana, an empty box of ammo, and the front page of the National Enquirer swirling in a light vortex in the corner of an alley. Same thing, no?

[Va Lefty]

90. Exactly!

[Celerity]

91. who got to play with Toad?

[Downtown Hound]

21. That's how America felt too, Todd. n/t

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

22. Karma's only a bitch if you are. . .

Those attorneys are going to earn their fees.

[TheBlackAdder]

89. The more they fight, the more they make. Just poke sticks in their cages and cash in on the fees.

[bhcodem]

24. My response...

I don't care, do you??

[rurallib]

27. hand me my micro violin please.

[mnmoderatedem]

29. could it possibly be?

a circumstance where $arah does NOT want the spotlight?

Say it aint so!

[Liberty Belle]

32. The only thing good about Palin was the funniest SNL skit ever:

[Paladin]

33. Let the entire Palin clan fade into immediate and permanent obscurity.

Remember the Good Old Days, when we all thought Sarah Palin was the nastiest, most embarrassing politician there ever was? trump makes her look like Caroline Kennedy....

[Captain Zero]

34. The Party of Family Values, yeah, right,

The sledding gets a little tough. They bail. She never finished her term as governor, did she?

[Freethinker65]

35. Tune in to the next season of DWTS!

[Marie Marie]

37. And the incels are suddenly filled with hope.

[Volaris]

69. You just won this thread lol!!!...

DAMN, was that cold.

[Marie Marie]

86. ...

[Luz]

38. Th money must be gone by now. Maybe thats why he stayed so long?

[Wellstone ruled]

50. More likely Todd Boy

finally finished his Physical Therapy after his Snow Mobile wreck two years ago. Sucker was totally shit-faced and ran head on into a tree. Most likely the Pain Killers (opioids) must have worn off.

[onetexan]

97. Either that or he's got a young bimbo on the side

[xmas74]

98. From prior history I'd bet on a young un.

Really young.

[ploppy]

39. Now we will all be subject

to their new single lives. Who will Sarah hook up with? Is Bill O'Reilly single?

[malaise]

40. That lasted long

Adios Lady Bla Bla.

[MontanaMama]

53. Lady Bla Bla

With THAT, I will call it a day. OMG that's funny!!!

[malaise]

55. I stole it from a DUer way back in 2008

I really loved it.

[bitterross]

42. "...incompatibility of temperament between the parties..." That has to be in equal parts for both

I'd be willing to bet either one of them, individually, is just as insufferable as the other.

Should be interesting to see if he gets palimony though.

[nolabear]

43. Hey Spanky, she's free!

Hell I thought they’d called it quits years ago.

Twenty bucks says she’s a major drinker.

[barbtries]

47. i think speed.

it's very popular up there.

[Mopar151]

106. Bad combo with heavy drinking!

Sairy has always had "down days", even while campaigning. Triple that up with a speed crash, a nasty hangover, and a narcissist's jonesing for a spotlight, and a polar bear would find her poor company!

[kairos12]

44. I can see divorce papers from my house.

[JHB]

45. Gee, thanks, Bill Kristol, for introducing these yobos to the nation

[barbtries]

46. oh well.

family values and all that shit.

as a twitter user said "I'm an Atheist & I have more Christianity in my pinky toe than Donald Trump has in his whole damn body."

i had to really search for it so i wouldn't misquote so here's the tweet

48. Trashy people

49. Nailed it.

And money cannot buy them any class.

[Fritz Walter]

71. Indeed. You can take the white trash out of the trailer, but...

...the landfill is getting pretty full already. And it’s becoming more and more toxic by the day.

Thoughts and prayers.

[Politicub]

51. Lunatics -- the whole lot of them.

And the tragedy for them is they're boring lunatics, so no one really cares about them or this news. It will be a blip today and gone tomorrow.

[customerserviceguy]

68. Nope

it will consume TV time from now until the election, stifling our messaging.

One more distraction from the dark side of the force.

[infullview]

52. Glad you said it...

I was thinking it.

[Mr.Bill]

54. So she finally ran out of money. n/t

[ffr]

58. Didn't see this coming...from him. I would have figured she'd have quit the marriage long ago

To save the marriage, of course.

Tina Fey's gonna have some new material here soon.

[ashredux]

61. The CASH Machine has run out of money

[Botany]

62. I hope that the family finds happiness, peace, and tenderness

I also hope to never hear about any of them again.

[Grins]

63. For a "Christian", "sanctity of marriage" family they sure have a lot of divorce

Sarah
Taaaad
Track
And Bristol (Twice!)
That’s a lot of divorce in just 11-years!

72. Where do you return wedding grifts?

n/t

[madaboutharry]

73. Not long after the 2008 election

I read a book, I can't remember which one or who wrote it, but it was about the election. Todd Palin came off as a rather decent guy. He tried to take care of his kids, cook them dinner, do their laundry, etc, whenever he was home. He was kind of the Mr. Mom because Sarah Palin was just absent and removed. I remember thinking how sad it was, especially how it said the he was the parent that had bonded with Trig and was his main caretaker.

[bucolic_frolic]

82. You marry a narcissistic beauty queen

you're gonna do the dishes. And everything else. Because they can't wrap their little heads around anything practical.

[jaysunb]

74. There are 100's of wealthy yahoo's itching to get their hands on her.

This will be a very good deal for her.

[Blue_true]

79. Maybe the ones that are already 90 years old.

Rich yahoos tend to go for really young women, not one with tons of wear on her threads.

[Blue_true]

75. Who want to bet that a younger woman won't pop her head up at some point?

Conservative Christians seem to be good at upgrading wives once age overtakes the incumbent.

100. She's the complete Family Values Hypocrisy picture, eh?

Domestic abuse, teenage pregnancy, divorce...

Oh, and look at this.... behaving like a THUG to the police:

Police confronted Track Palin in the home. He called them “peasants” and told them to lay down their weapons, according to the documents. Eventually, Palin left the house and was placed in handcuffs.

Republicans wanted her to be a heartbeat from the presidency. Never forget that.

[Demovictory9]

102. sadness over in freeperville

[LuvLoogie]

105. I have to be honest. My reaction is sadness. My parents divorced. It was very difficult...

My siblings and I were already adults, but it was still very difficult for us. My Father had an extended affair, a double life, and there were new children born to his paramour before the divorce.

That said, ridiculing Sara Palin's ongoing misfortune seems like punching down. She has no power. Sure, she mocked us and kicked us when we were down, but I have no energy or desire to do the same to her.

[bullwinkle428]

107. It was an extra long-range plan, but "the gays" finally destroyed their marriage!!
