Just heard from an ardent Republican from Long Island that Palin

[katmondoo]

is buying a house in the Hampton's. For those not familiar with Long Island this is an exclusive area. Caroline Kennedy has a house there plus other wealthy notable people. The question is why. Does she want to run for Hillary's Senate seat? I just read today Palin said she loves Alaska and would never leave. She lies from both sides of her mouth. Another great Repub. (sarcasm of course)I cannot verify this news. No link as of now.

1. Oh lord, like The Hamptons would want her

:P

[livetohike]

2. Not too shabby for a "fish wife". Isn't that how Todd makes his

living? If this is true, she must have some high paying media job in the works.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. There's no way the Palin's have the sort of coin to afford The Hamptons.

FUX must have hired her.

[rusty charly]

3. She needs to be

a limo ride away from the FOX studios.

[Madam Mossfern]

4. How reliable is this source?

Palin has money problems,how would she be able to afford a house in the Hamptons.

[MADem]

10. See post eight, below--I found a link that has a lot of detail. NT

[Madam Mossfern]

19. That's a satirical article.

Surely you notice that.
I'll read the rest of the thread none-the-less.

[MADem]

22. Maybe that's the basis of the original assertion, though.

I am not speaking to the validity of the story, only that the story appeared.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

5. Oh, please -

if that happens, it'll be the Number One Story of the year.

Sarah Palin in the Hamptons.

That's rich.....................................

[havocmom]

6. Oh, let it be so. A REAL contest between HRC and the Wicked Twitch of the North

That would be funnier that SNL skits of such a meeting.

yada yada yada

13. HRC is SECSTATE. She will be up against Gillebrand if she tries to run for Senate, but that is not

the rumor. Supposedly, she wants to launch her presidential run from NY. See post eight below.

[Sanity Claws]

7. Palin in the Hamptons?

This sounds like the premise of a reality show.
She is soooo not New York.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

11. Yup, The Hamptons Hillbillies.

First thing that came to mind.

[Sal Minella]

15. I wonder if they'll put Bristol's double-wide in the front yard, or the back?

How's the climate there? Will a pole-barn do for Tawd's snow-machines, or will they need a Morton building?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

21. And what will they do to satisfy their bloodlust?

Last I heard, New York doesn't allow wolf-shooting from helicopters. Not sure if Christie Brinkley still lives there, but she better hide her Guinea hens.

[Sal Minella]

26. They'll probably just sit on their front porch and shoot at whales?

8. I found a link for you.

Palin Coming

Ex-Governor Sarah Palin is Moving
to Hampton Bays on Aug. 1

By Dan Rattiner





Sarah Palin is moving to Hampton Bays on August 1. That is the talk of the Hampton Bays Diner on Ponquogue Avenue in that town, where residents gather before work every morning to discuss the latest news.

It's been hard not to notice the dozens of secret service men, clearly from Palin's office, who have also been assembling there for coffee and bagels at 6 a.m. every morning for the last week. They keep to themselves at a back booth, but at the cash register, Doris says that they pay with credit cards with pictures of dog sleds on them and they have tiny Alaskan flags for tie clips, American flags in their lapels and bits of beaver fur on their black hats.

"They are Alaskan, no doubt about it," Doris says. "I asked them once. They said they are Canadian. It's a give away, that lie."

There is plenty of other evidence that Palin is moving to Hampton Bays. Local realtors have been talking excitedly about an offer made for three tiny houses on adjacent quarter acre lots on Bay Lane. The offer has come from a man named Francis Iditerod, a real estate agent from "up north" who wants to be sure that all three homes, which are all owned separately by different people, can be purchased at the same time.

"We've said it can be arranged if the money is right," local agent Ben Holiday said. "He's also asking if there are any laws that would prevent the fences between these houses from being taken down. And he wants to know about the available high voltage power lines and how near to these properties they are. He's also asked about our leash laws."

Holiday showed this reporter the man's business card. The address is 42 Main Street in Emerilla, Alaska. This would be less than a few minutes trudge through the snow from the Palin residence. Virtual confirmation of this move came in two news stories that are just breaking over the national wires. Palin read her resignation speech from a stack of index cards on the table by the microphone in front of her. Reporters in Alaska retrieved these index cards from the wastebasket where Palin dropped them as she walked out of the auditorium. Nearby guards seized these papers, but after a court hearing involving First Amendment Rights and what is known as the Sunshine Law, the index cards were returned to the reporters this morning.

In the cards, are several sentences about the Hamptons. Palin notes them, says she intends to go there for a "visit, and maybe even move there." But the sentences are crossed out, something reporters say they saw her doing just before the cameras turned on her.

The other item in the news this morning is the sensational revelation about Palin's private e-mail. It's been cracked.

"So it's the Hamptons," governorbeaver1 writes. "I'm sure Todd will love it. There's clamming and fishing and places to motorbike and everything, though it's not Alaska of course.".......




I cannot speak to the accuracy of this report, but it's sure rich in detail--GovernorBEAVER1??? The rest of it is a hoot, too.

[Sanity Claws]

16. Why does she have Secret Service?

Why would the feds be protecting a state employee?

[MADem]

18. I think that this yay-hoo is easily impressed by fellers in suits who

may or may not work for government, even state government.

If anything, it would be a state security detail. But once she's off the job, she' a private citizen, with no taxpayer-paid protection....

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Anyone servicing her would want to keep it secret.

Ugh.

[no_hypocrisy]

25. Quick google search shows there's no realtor in the Hamptons named Ben Holiday.

This has to be satire versus fact, as realtors out in the Hamptons are like rock stars. They advertise their names like the celebrities who are their clients.

"I am Alaskan. I've grown up here and I'm going to remain in Alaska,"

[hlthe2b]

9. I can not imagine anywhere that she would be less welcome...

Moneyed Hamptons Repugs are not exactly enamored by RW fundie elements of the party and certainly the Wall Street types are not forgiving of "teh stupid." The old money would eat her and "the first dude" alive.

[Fozzledick]

12. I still wouldn't trust her....

[Hydra]

17. This dovetails nicely with probable future

She must have some powerful backers. I guess it WILL be Palin 2012 run. Maybe they can even coach her to debate well by then...but not going to hold my breath.

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. I'm sure they'll enjoy having that wacko Wasillabilly clan sinking their property values

[katandmoon]

24. Francis Iditerod? Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

[trumanh59639]

27. Can't this annoying waste of space do us all a favor and

piss off back to Alaska, and stay there.

[YewNork]

28. Tell her to visit Montauk Point so she can tell people she can see Ireland.
