Sarah Palin Quits Signing Books

Hollywood Grind — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:34:01 +0000

Sarah Palin not only quit as Governor of Alaska, she bailed on fans she promised to sign books for. Here’s what it says for this video on YouTube:

Angry crowd shouts at Sarah Palin at her book signing in Noblesville, Indiana on November 19, 2009 after Palin quits and refuses to sign books for around 300 families that spent about 3+ hours getting wristband and another 3+ hours waiting in line to get the Palin book signed. At Borders bookstore it was announced that 1,000 individuals would be given wristbands and could get two books signed each. By the time Sarah Palin quit, there were still about 300 individuals and there families who did not get even one book signed.

I can understand how difficult it must have been to try to sign 2,000 books, but if Palin agreed to do it then she needed to take responsibility and do her job. This just convinces me further that Palin is not someone who can be relied on to get the job done. I am very disappointed, because Palin could have been a good example to all women. Conservatives should shift their focus to someone who can provide a better example of the values they represent. Sarah Palin is a quitter.

Sarah Palin and Todd Palin Divorce Rumors Continue

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:04:07 +0000

Star magazine is once again reporting that Sarah Palin and Todd Palin are getting closer and closer to divorce, based solely on third party statements that the couple have a troubled marriage. Star reports below:

Sarah Palin’s husband Todd smiled happily and stood lovingly by his wife’s side last year during her vice presidential campaign. But behind the scenes, their marriage was in turmoil — and now they’re on the brink of a shocking divorce!
In the Aug. 24 issue of Star, on sale today, we have world exclusive details about Alaska’s former first couple and their disintegrating union: They’re sleeping apart, arguing non-stop and losing control of their party-loving daughters!

"Sarah and Todd are fighting all the time," Mercede Johnston — sister of Levi Johnston, ex-boyfriend of Sarah’s eldest daughter, Bristol — tells Star in an exclusive interview. "When they do, Todd often ends up sleeping on the couch at their home in Wasilla. Bristol used to tell Levi that her parents would argue and bicker over the littlest things, like who was supposed to take out the trash or wash the dishes."

Levi, the father of Bristol’s 7-month-old son, Tripp, recently told RadarOnline.com that Sarah and Todd have had marital trouble "from day one," and that he believed their escalating problems were the reason behind her mysterious decision to resign as governor of Alaska last month with more than a year left in her term.

His sister Mercede predicts: "If they ended their marriage within the next year, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. It really seems to me their marriage is just a sham for the cameras now!"

Another possibility, an Alaskan insider tells Star, is that with Sarah’s multi-million-dollar book deal in place, "she might even come to some financial agreement for him to stay with her and give the impression of a loving husband, at least through her book tour next year. In that respect, they’d be like the Jon and Kate Gosselin of politics!"

And like the TLC reality stars, Todd and Sarah have their brood of children to worry about — and their worries keep growing with a new family scandal. Star has an eyewitness account of their 15-year-old daughter Willow drinking vodka and smoking pot at a wild house party! "Her eyes were getting more and more glazed as the night went on," says a source.

From what we have seen of the couple they seem solid to us. There are statistics however that say when a woman makes more money, and has a more powerful position than a man, she has a tendency to take the man for granted, and make him feel both unappreciated and worthless, which causes the relationship to break down. Considering the statistics alone, it’s possible there could be trouble brewing in the Palin marriage.

As much as we’d like to say "Leave the Palins alone," the whole family, even Levi, have embraced a public life to make money, so reports about their private life come with the territory. Don’t feel sorry for them if they complain in interviews that give them even more publicity, while their bank account keeps getting fatter. If they really didn’t like the spotlight, they would stay out of it, and retreat to a "private" life.

Sarah Palin and Todd Palin Deny Divorce Rumors

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 02:28:33 +0000

Sarah Palin, former Alaska Governor, is denying two Alaskan bloggers’ reports that she and her husband Todd Palin are divorcing. The bloggers claimed they were splitting after infidelities on both sides. spokeswoman Meg Stapleton posted on Palin’s Facebook page Saturday:

"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 [and] committed to each other and their family."

Palin’s attorney Thomas Van Flein also released a statement slamming the "vicious" rumor, who added Saturday:

"I spoke to Sarah and Todd this morning. They are not getting a divorce."

Everyone is trying to find a scandal behind Sarah’s decision to resign from her position as Alaska state Governor.

Sarah Palin Resigns as Governor of Alaska

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:11:44 +0000

Sarah Palin just announced today she is resigning as the Governor of Alaska. Palin said she will step down from office in only a few weeks, and will not run for reelection next year.

Most close to Palin were shocked to hear of her resignation. Many are now wondering if Palin could even run for President when she quit as Governor. Others say Palin has paid out a lot of money to successfully defend herself in frivalous lawsuits by liberal democrats.

Lt. Gov Sean Parnell will take over as Governor of Alaska.

Palin recently did an interview with Runner’s World magazine, in which she claims she is a runner. We agree. We think Sarah is running away from her problems as Governor, and running from the pressure she and her family have suffered from since Sarah accepted the Republican vice president nominee spot.

Enjoy private life Sarah. We think Sarah’s career in politics is over. This is a very disappointing end.

David Letterman Apologizes to Sarah Palin Again

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:32:18 +0000

On Monday’s show David Letterman tried to be more sincere in his apology to Sarah Palin, and her two daughters Willow and Bristol, about several sexist jokes he made about Willow and Sarah.

Letterman made the apology under pressure, and with much less of the sarcasm, because groups are forming calling for him to be fired. One such group even has a web site called firedavidletterman.com, which plans a rally in front of the Ed Sullivan Theater today at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Embassy Suites, part of the Hilton Hotels Corp., pulled all their advertising on CBS site because of patron complaints. A rep said:

"We received lots of e-mails from concerned guests and we assessed that the statement that he made was offensive enough to our guests and prospective guests that we elected to take the ads down."

More advertisers need to follow Embassy Suites example.

It’s no secret that Letterman is a liberal democrat activist, who are usually not forced to take responsibility for their bad behavior because of a double standard that exists. It appears people are coming together to set certain standards of common decency that everyone needs to live by in our culture, and we hope to see it continue.

We have liked Letterman’s show for a long time, but over recent years he has become offensive with his political attacks that are not entertaining. It seems appropriate that Letterman should be fired, but before he goes he should have Sarah Palin, and her daughters, on The Late Show to apologize to them for demeaning them, and women, especially underage girls, and those underage girls who have babies.

We have read many of the liberal blogs, and liberal newspaper sites, and all are trying to play down Letterman’s offense to women, only because they hate Sarah Palin, but even liberal democrats outside the media understand common decency, and they are speaking out, even if their mainstream media won’t let their voices be heard.

Sarah Palin Calls David Letterman a Dirty Old Man

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:21:27 +0000

Sarah Palin isn’t happy with the perverted attacks David Letterman made against her 14 year-old daughter. Palin said on the Today Show:

"I would say you and anybody else are extremely naive to believe that very convenient excuse of David Letterman’s the other day. It took a couple of days for him to think of that excuse, no, he wasn’t talking about my daughter, my 14-year-old that was with me at the game, he was talking about some other daughter."

Sarah is right when she says Letterman crossed the line, and that he owes women an apology, not just her 14 year-old daughter, but that’s not going to happen. Letterman isn’t an old grandpa type that respects and cares about young or adult women, we know that now.

Letterman will be better remembered now for his politics, and lack of respect for women, than his show. As song writer Jewel once wrote:

"In the end, only kindness matters."

David Letterman Insults Sarah Palin 14 Year-old Daughter

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:51:16 +0000

On Tuesday’s show, David Letterman joked in his opening monologue that the Alaska Governor Sarah Palin visited Yankee Stadium, sitting in "far, far right field" with Rudy Giuliani. "They had a wonderful time," he continued. "The toughest part of her visit was keeping Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter." Letterman also said that Alex Rodriquez knocked up Palin’s daughter at the game, except the daughter at the game was not 18 year-old Bristol Palin, it was Palin’s 14 year-old daughter.

Todd Palin responded to Letterman’s attack on his family saying:

"Any ’jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."

Governor Sarah Palin also responded saying:

"Concerning Letterman’s comments about my young daughter (and I doubt he’d ever dare make such comments about anyone else’s daughter): ’Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands, that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone’s daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.’"

In the video above Letterman devoted his Top Ten to insulting Sarah Palin, but it was his opening monologue that he used to attack Palin’s 14 year-old daughter. In the video below Letterman, an admitted liberal democrat activist, said the jokes were not about the 14 year-old daughter, but rather about the 18 year-old daughter, even though only the 14 year-old daughter was at the Yankees game with her mother and father. Letterman also did not apologize, but rather defended the attack he labeled as jokes, then he repeated the attacks a second time. Letterman never mentioned Palin’s visit to New York was to raise money for a children’s charity there.

It’s okay for Letterman to attack a politician, but not the politician’s family. Let’s also call it what it is, it was an attack, not a joke. I’m tired of comedians trying to say it was comedy when they directly attack someone. Professional comedians know that is bull, and so does Letterman. I used to be a fan of Letterman, but now I think his hatred for people who don’t agree with him has gotten the best of him, just like the guy who shot the security guard at the holocaust museum in Washington D.C. Someone better keep an eye on Letterman, or he’s liable to shoot someone thinking his gun is microphone. Oh, that last sentence was a joke. *Wink wink*

Levi Johnston Talks More About Sarah and Bristol Palin

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:36:44 +0000

Levi Johnston went on the CBS Early Show to give what Levi calls "his side of the story."

Levi rehashed most of what we’ve heard already, and also talked about how he lived at Sarah Palin’s house for while, which Sarah denies.

Levi also voiced concerns over what could be an pending custody battle.

If Sarah Palin really believes in family cohesiveness, she’ll encourage Bristol to be reasonable, and not turn this into a custody court battle.
