More lies from you silly twits? Palin Camp Shoots Down Ridiculous Divorce Rumors Spread by CNN Stringer Dennis Zaki<http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/08/palin-camp-shoots-down-ridiculous.html>By Tim Lindell
<http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YK4rstd2nCA/SnSL0N5cAfI/AAAAAAAAALw/BdLcs6A_aHE/s1600-h/team-truther1.jpg> >From Governor Palin's Facebook page<http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=111060718434&ref=mf> : Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent “story” (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island). Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to “quit making things up.” We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it. Meg Stapleton The release is in response to a ludicrous rumor being spread<http://www.webcitation.org/5iiAw5TMY> by Alaskan CNN stringer <http://www.webcitation.org/5ii2n45Da> Dennis Zaki. Zaki, who previously bought into<http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/06/dennis-zakis-melting-trig-truth-iceberg.html> rumors of Trig Truth, picked up these allegations<http://www.webcitation.org/5ihuV80Im> from the same source - the rabidly anti-Palin, Trig Truth-espousing anonymous blogger "Gryphen" of the blog "Immoral Minority". Gryphen is a friend of Zaki's, along with fellow Team Truth members<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shannyn-moore/sarah-palin-blames-blogge_b_189786.html> Shannyn Moore, Phil Munger, and "AKMuckraker" of the Mudflats. The rumor was already being picked up and spread around the echo chamber of the Alaskan Team Truther blogs...not only by Zaki, but by fellow Trig Truther "Doctor Phil<http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/06/phil-munger-official-obstetrician-of.html>" Munger of Progressive Alaska <http://www.webcitation.org/5ihvYKfxa>. Sounds like the Palins are cutting these rumors off at the knees. Good for them. *UPDATE by RAM: *So, let me understand the "story" according to Zaki and other "journalists"... At the beginning of the month, Zaki reported that Gov. Palin was being investigated by the FBI and was going to jail. That turned out to be false. Last week, the ADN reported that Gov. Palin was moving to the Hamptons. That turned out to be false. Today, Zaki reports that Gov. Palin is moving to Montana after throwing her wedding ring into Lake Lucille. That turns out to be false. They are reporting blatant lies. Quit making things up! UPDATE by Tim: Welcome, Hot Air readers! And thank you to Allahpundit for helping to spread the word <http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=47546> on the debunking of this vicious rumor. UPDATE II by Tim: Great point by Ace <http://minx.cc/?post=290398>: Thankfully... The Palins put out a statement. Because the thing is this is the sort of story that's spreading on the lefty blogs, and then it gets pushed into the comments of other blogs, and then it leaves a Nice Innocent Good-Intended Helluva Guy like me not knowing what to do-- do I inform people of what is being claimed on the internet, but at the risk of spreading what seems to be a dubious scam? Or do I censor it, where people then debate it in the comments (they've all seen it) but I pretend on the main page I'm oblivious to it? Anyway, with the denial out there, not big thing in mentioning it. UPDATE III by Tim: Thank heavens the Palin camp was ready to kill this immediately, because it was spreading beyond Alaska. Christopher Weber at Politics Daily was jumping on this rumor<http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/08/01/sarah-palin-to-divorce/> too. (Update - it's been sent down the memory hole and I unfortunately didn't cache it...Tim) UPDATE IV by Tim: CNN stringer Dennis Zaki claims in his "report"<http://www.webcitation.org/5ihuPS48w> that the Palins were not speaking to each other at the Fairbanks ceremony. Here are a couple of pics, hat tip to Rachael in the comments: <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YK4rstd2nCA/SnSlIQApHII/AAAAAAAAAL4/egIe5ZTwFsY/s1600-h/palins+in+fairbanks.png> In regards to her not wearing her wedding ring while shaking hands at the Alaskan picnics, check out this quote<http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/10/26/palin-wardrobe-controversy-heightens-todd-is-a-cheapo/> from the Christian Science Monitor: “My wedding ring, it’s in Todd’s pocket cause it hurts sometimes when I shake hands and it gets squished,” Palin told a crowd in Tampa, Florida. “A $35 wedding ring from Hawaii that I bought myself …’cause I always thought with my ring, it’s not what it’s made of, it’s what it represents and 20 years later, happy to wear it.” Video (h/t defendAmerica in the comments): Another UPDATE: The libel is being repeated by Alaskan blogger AKMuckraker, both at her blog <http://www.webcitation.org/5iiAQffvI> and the Huffington Post<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/akmuckraker/palins-to-divorce_b_249319.html> . UPDATE by Mel: Last Saturday in Anchorage: <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A9i-syqFbVA/SnTBg1aIuFI/AAAAAAAAAbc/nARg7slcYp4/s1600-h/sarahtoddtrigeyes.jpg> [image: Bookmark and Share] On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 4:34 PM, bugs <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > *From:* [email protected] > Check out Todd and Sarah Palin to divorce > > > > Todd and Sarah Palin to > divorce<http://alaskareport.com/news39/x71283_divorce_palins.htm> > *August 1, 2009* Todd and Sarah Palin to divorce Affairs on both sides Updated > 9:26am AKDT > > AlaskaReport has *learned this > morning*<http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2009/08/exclusive-sarah-and-todd-palin-are.html>that > Todd Palin and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are to divorce. > Multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage have confirmed the news. > [image: Palin's divorce] > > A National Enquirer story exposing *previous > affairs*<http://www.nationalenquirer.com/national_enquirer_world_exclusive_sarah_palins_secret_lover_revealed/celebrity/65481>on > both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from > that led to Palin's resignation as governor of Alaska. > > The Palins were noticeably not speaking to each other at last Sunday's > resignation speech in Fairbanks. > > Sarah has recently purchased land in Montana and is considering moving the > family there.
