We're going with the rumor: Track Palin vandalized a schoolbus and joined the Army so that he could avoid jail

I know the Republican Party went after Michelle, but she did put herself out there by giving a political speech, and it was the speech that was criticized. Palin's children did nothing to deserve this intrusion into their personal lives and we should not be attacking them. I am proud to be a liberal, but this wreaks of something Karl Rove would do. By the way, if conservative blogs attacked Obama's children, we would be yelling racism...just a point to think about.

I've already asked the two papers of record, the New York Times & the National Enquirer, to look into this. There are newspaper reports on other sites that report the incident: 3 unnamed minor boys & an 18-year-old caused such extensive damage to school buses that the School District had to cancel classes:

"Four teenagers arrested in Mat-Su bus vandalism

"Alaska State Troopers on Monday arrested four young men suspected of vandalizing buses in the Mat-Su School District last week.

"Three of the four suspects are charged as juveniles. A 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds were arrested at their homes and taken to the Mat-Su Youth Facility.

"Eighteen-year-old Deryck Harris was also arrested at his home and taken to Mat-Su pretrial, where he was charged as an adult.

"Troopers spokesman Greg Wilkinson says all four have been charged with criminal mischief, trespassing and conspiracy to commit criminal mischief.

"The 16-year-old suspect also is charged with theft and furnishing alcohol to a minor. Police allege he stole a bottle of vodka from a local liquor store the night of the vandalism and supplied it to the group.

"Vandals last Tuesday removed valve stems from the tires from nearly half the district's bus fleet.

"Troopers say 69 tires were deflated on more than 40 buses.

"Also, engine block heaters had been unplugged on 110 buses, preventing them from starting in the sub-zero temperatures.

"The damage forced school officials to close 31 of the district's 36 schools."


Here's one I missed, apparently from the WashPost, Palin & her husband what's-his-name had a shotgun wedding: "Reporters next questioned Todd and Sarah Palin's story of their 1988 elopement -- to save their parents the cost of a wedding after a slow fishing season. They noted that Track was born less than eight months later."

All those years, Alaska was so quiet. And I'm all like "damn, that state is like half the size of the continental United States and you never hear about shit going down in Alaska."
But here, here it is, the Palin family has fucked up the whole place. I believe all of it, because it makes my life fun.

Laurie, you are a bad girl. I like that.
