"Sarah Palin's Shattered Marriage"

Political cover girl Sarah Palin is hiding a bombshell secret behind her shocking resignation as Alaska's governor--her marriage has collapsed and she and hubby Todd are divorcing reveal sources.In a world exclusive, insiders tell Globe the sexy Repulican's 21-year marriage to her high school sweetheart is in tatters over cheating charges, lies, jealousy and her soarng political ambitions. One source said Sarah is finished with Todd ,44, and decided to end the marriage,insists, "Gryphen" of the "Immoral Minority Internet "blog.Sarah removed her ring a couple of weeks ago in a fit of anger and tossed it into a lake. Now the ring sleeps with the fishes.

Meanwhile , the 45-year-old former beauty queen --[Sarah was runner-up in the 1984 Miss Alaska pagent] is trying to keep a lid on her marital split for finanical and political reasons, sources say. The couple has made a pact to publicly hide their divorce .Darling of the most conservative elements of the Republican Party, she's in line for big money deals with books, talk shows and speaking appearances. She's raked in a whopping $ 11 million advance for one book she is currently writing , and is also a top contender to run for the President in 2012. Another Web site , AlsakaReport.com, claims "multiple sources in Sarah's hometown of "Wasilla" and the state capitol of "Anchorage" have confirmed the split.

According to the AlaskaReport.com a story about Sarah's alleged affair with "Brad Hanson" in 1996 is behind the recent collaspe of her marriage and har decision to quit her governor's job.At the time Todd was away working in the oil fields, while Hanson was a city councilman in the nearby town of Palmer and Sarah was in Wasilla. Jim Burdett, a former Hanson family member says, Todd found out abut the affair and was so mad he broke up their partnership at a snow-mobile dealership. While Palin and Hanson have strongly denied the affair,the explosive story led to the deterioration of the Palins marriage and the stress from the scandal led to her resignation as governor of Alaska, says blogger Gyrphen.

Another source say's all of Alaska is abuzz about Sarah and Todd.
Sarah has overpowered Todd--and he can't keep up with her anymore. Todd was great as a high school boyfriend and then as a husband while she was a small town mayor and even governor. But now Sarah turned into a superstar with huge political ambitions--and she's leaving him in her dust.Still the source says , that it is unlikely the Palins will divorce anytime soon and they have cut a secert deal "to avoid wrecking her political ambitions. A divorce can be political suicide, says the source. They'll probably stay married through 2012 when Sarah's political future will be sealed, one way or the other.

As if Sarah didn't have enough to worry about ! Levi Johnston,19. the hunky hockey-playing ex of her daughter Bristol, is looking to get into showbiz--and he's planning on spilling the beans about the "Palin" clan . "Levi's working on a tell all" , his sister Mercede says. "He knows all the family's deep, dark secerts, and Sarah is pertrified about how badly some of his revelations could hurt her political career. She's already tried to put it out there that my family exaggerates and lies, because she is so scared of what he might say, but Sarah is a hypocrite, and she brought it on herself." Levi will also be featured in an upcoming issue of "Vanity Fair".

My take on this crap: There were rumors about an ethics investigation--in which an independent investigator found that Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal fees. And still hanging over her head,even more stress as she comes to grips with her failing marriage. Sarah take some advice in the spirit that it is given....you will have to grow up and learn how to manage your family, let the ones more suited run the country. Stay tuned: to be continued.

Post Script to my partner's conclusion: This is a living example of how Sarah may have handled the affairs of the country. Should we count ourselves lucky that she never had the opportunity??
