Sarah Palin ‘affair’: big media stays quiet as ‘lover’ named

While America's respectable media focus on John McCain's acceptance speech to the Republican faithful, blogs and gossip sites continue to lead the feeding frenzy surrounding the National Enquirer's allegation, reported here yesterday, that McCain's running mate Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner.

Alaskan Abroad, the blog of an Alaskan journalist, reports that the allegation refers to the time when Palin became mayor of Wasilla in the mid-1990s. Palin's husband Todd owned a snowmobile dealership with his business partner Brad Hanson. Apparently Hanson, who was also married, and Sarah got on famously; Alaskan Abroad's sources say the two were "flirtatious but never consummated the relationship".

"When Todd found out, he reportedly dissolved the partnership and sold the dealership. Hanson is now a member of the Palmer City Council."

The Enquirer's own anonymous source claims there was an affair. The paper reports: "Todd discovered the affair and quickly dissolved his friendship and business associations with the guy. Many people in Alaska are talking about the rumour and say Todd swept it under the rug."

7. actually, that's ANOTHER business partner with another weird story that

confuses the heck out of me but bottom line seems to be just one more example of don't piss off Governor Palin or her family or her friends or you'll get fired.

6. The new question is, how many guys

did this woman have an affair with? First it's Richter, next it's Hanson. Enquiring minds and all that. Thank you for this! Now I will take a shower.

a Neanderthal from Alaska, you know, long, dark winters, while Nanuk of the North Todd was snowmobiling to the Arctic circle.
