I've been saying to people for days that we should really probably not touch the looming National Enquirer story about an alleged affair between Sarah Palin and her husband's business partner. Not because I don't think it may not be true, but because I think it would be wise to see just what they've got before we go nutz with it. There's also the possibility that it could be yet another GOP ratfuck a la "Fortunate Son."

All that said, that Enquirer story appears to be about to get much, much more interesting. Andrew Sullivan is reporting (with a link to the actual doc) that Todd's business partner has filed for an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed.

Todd Palin's former business partner files an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed. Oh God.

Buckle up, kiddos. Could be a wild ride.

Update: Please don't get me wrong. As I say above, I believe we should stand back and let this one ripen a bit. If there's something there, we'll all soon know. Also, don't dismiss the possibility that this is yet another Rovian ratfuck. Plant this story and then destroy it as a way to discredit all the stories about Palin.

I posted this simply because this development interests me and is the very first indication I've seen that there just might possibly be a "there" there.

Update II: Let me further add that I couldn't possibly care less about what goes on (or doesn't) inside the Palin's marriage. It's none of my business and it's none of yours either. It looks as if none of us have a vote as to whether or not the NE pursues this story. Like I said, if there is something there, we'll all know about it soon enough, whether we want to or not. Period.

The GOP perfected this style of electioneering long ago. They largely created the media beast that thrives on this shit.

Live by the sword and all...
