Sarah Palin is flirting again, and with more than the presidency. Wondertrash has previously posted about how Sarah has invested in a swanky spread down in Arizona (almost $2 million worth of swank!), and left husband Todd north in Alaska. They are hammering out a top secret divorce deal, but that isn't gonna be finalized until after the 2012 election. Sarah wants to keep everything as traditional as possible for the campaign, which means that Todd's has to appear at her side.
if you can't get God on your side, then settle for Billy Graham!
Meanwhile Alaska Annie is getting friendly with a traditional sort of guy. For one thing he's a kind of preacher. For another he's a family man, complete with a wife. Now you can't get more traditional than that, when it come's to adultery anyway. You've probably even heard of the guy. He's got a familiar name. The name is Franklin Graham and it sounds familiar because his dad is Confidante to Presidents Billy Graham! Billy is so close to the tops that when George W wanted to learn how to do the Christian thing, Billy went up to Camp David for 3 days to give him the Bible 101 introductory course!prayer breakfasts & just desserts
We don't know exactly when Sarah met Frankie, but she did come to his defense over some National Prayer Breakfast thing in in Wash DC, back in 2010. Frankie was banned from giving his usual address because he'd called Islam a hateful and violent religion. Actually he called it "very evil & wicked". It's important to be specific about that since most religions have their violent streak. Personally I thought adding the "very" was a bit too much, especially when talking about the beliefs of others.
half baked Alaskan
Some general or other thought this was inflammatory, and maybe even provocative. So Frankie got banned. Sarah spoke up and demanded he be allowed to attend and give his talk. I guess she figured that it was no worse than posting pix of politicos on your website, framed with bull's eyes, who later get shot by unstable types - Gabrielle Giffords. You have to cut some slack in the Age of the Internet. At least we haven't seen Sarah's mature treasures exposed on Twitter, yet.
Tea Bag Air
Well anyway the pair really seemed to hit it off. They've even taken some romantic overseas trips together. this was facilitated by Franklin's use of a corporate jet at his disposal. Franklin is a big deal in some thing called The Samaritan's Purse. That an org set up by his father to disperse money around to worthy causes, like buying $38.3 million dollar airplanes to shuttle former Alaskan governors around in. When you're fighting the good fight you can't get hung up on details! They've gone to Haiti together, and Frankie has even lend Sarah the use of the jet for some of her Tea Bag Tours. Specifically he had the Samaritan's Purse flight crew shuttle her from Roanoke Va to Montreat NC, for a book signing!hanky panky
Now anyone might lend their $40 mill jet to an attractive woman in need, especially if she's late for a book signing. How doe this prove that there's hanky panky going on? Well the talk is getting kind of personal. An unnamed source - and don't knock em cause they were right about John Edwards! - says that Frankie is constantly going on and on about what an amazing women the former Alaskan Governor is. He's even describes her as beautiful, charismatic, and incredible. To hear him talk you'd think she had bullet proof bracelets or something! The source then goes onto say that this is odd because Franklin never talks about his lawfully wedded wife Jane! That's born out by the Samaritan's Purse website which has 15 mentions of Sarah, but not one - as of the Glove article's publication - of Franklin's long suffering wife. I'm guessing that Janie doesn't get much use of the jet either!
North to Alaska
Now if this wasn't bad enough the plot thickens. Frankie is buying a second home. There's nothing wrong with that. If you're a well heeled Evangelical with $40 mill of good will money to drop on jet planes, rather than out of them and onto the poor, then you've probably got enough spare loot for an extra house or to. The problem with this house is the problem with most business - location, location, location. This location is gonna be in Port Alsworth in where else? - the great state of Alaska. In fact Frankie is planning to ride his motor bike up there this summer! Maybe he thinks that will make some kind of macho impression, though it seems way too high school! I guess when you're a preacher's kid you've got something to live down; though this seems more like a stunt that would impress Bristol than a mature and sophisticated woman of the world planning to run for high office!
said it on the grapevine
Naturally this has people talking. So far, besides unnamed tabloid sources, they're Internet bloggers. Some of them are saying things like "those two are joined at the hip". Others are saying that they'd bet any money that the pair are 'getting it on'. If they're as poor off as the average blogger then it's a safe bet - even if they're wrong you'd never collect based on the blood from a turnip principle.
Now no one listens to Internet bloggers - a fact of which I'm personally aware. However Sarah is an attractive woman allegedly at loose ends. So stuff can happen, especially if desperate Housewives is any indication. Plus with the well known antics of those rowdy Palin daughters there just might be a wayward streak in the family. The point is that if Sarah doesn't watch her step then she might get shit on her pretty little moccasins. It wouldn't be the first time that some one who was supposed to know better got the pubes caught in the barbed wire of bad press; Tony Weiner, Arnie Schwarzenegger, Elliot Spitzer, Gary Hart, Bull Clinton, the list goes on. It's too soon to say whether Sarah's gonna get herself onto that list; but if we know anything about her it's that the wacky broad is a magnet for kooky publicity! So let's call this a developing story. Let's just hope that their sneaking around turns out to be more interesting than Daniel Craig & Rachel Weisz.
