So THAT'S why Sarah Palin will be missing from the Republican National Convention...

Track Palin, son of former Alaska half-governor Sarah Palin, is in jail on domestic violence charges.

Track Palin is in jail on domestic violence charges!

Little Green Footballs blogger Charles Johnson tonight directed his Twitter followers to the website of Alaska’s judicial system, which shows that Track Palin has been “remanded into custody” on the three charges that resulted from his drunken attack on his girlfriend in January.

Those three charges are Class A misdemeanors and at this writing there’s no news account on why they would result in Track Palin being remanded. However, the Twitterverse is already buzzing that this may be why Mama Grizzly will not speaking at the GOP convention. Earlier today Donald Trump waved away questions about Palin’s absence from the list of convention speakers, saying that “Alaska is a long ways away.” Uh huh.

What fine upstanding values of Real ‘Merikans the Palin family seems to have.

In the comment section of this blog, Joe noticed:

If you embiggen the above court record, you'll see that the NBC affiliate in Anchorage was denied "media coverage" on Track Palin's case on June 26th. So...the plot thickens.
