I have not heard about this. Do you have any proof? Another senator in a gay sex scandal!

At the very end the author accuses her of being racist toward blacks and Eskimos... Didn't she marry an Eskimo? What an idiot

The referenced article has already been debunked... it is a fiction. I will try to find the debunking source, but apparently even Koz has pulled it from their website... too fake even for them.

I have as much proof as they have against Sarah Palin. Dicey websites and a video allegation on YouTube.

Can't find the source I'm looking for, but think about the content of the purported letter... after 15 years in the public eye, first now someone ("Lucille the Waitress" in the no-name restaurant) steps and says Governor Palin, married to a guy whose part Eskimo, is a racist...

Sarah Palin rumor meltdown

Charlie Martin reports that his Sarah Palin rumors roundup is so popular it's melting his servers, so he's created a backup. I'm still looking for an authentic Sarah Palin bikini photo, by the way, and if anybody's got Joe Biden in a Speedo . . .

UPDATE: Charlie's Site Meter is rockin' today -- pushing toward 12,000 hits by 2 p.m. Ice down those servers, Charlie. Dude's been linked by Lucianne, NRO Corner, Blue Crab Boulevard, Politico, Free Republic, American Thinker . . .

UPDATE II: Oh, for crying out loud! A "progressive" blogger is claiming (on the authority of "Lucille, the waitress") that Palin referred to Obama as "Sambo." How freaking desperate can they get?

UPDATE III: This "Sambo" smear is now #54 in Charlie's list of Palin rumors. That there are no named sources for this allegation, and that the only remotely identified source is the stereotypically named "Shirley, the waitress" (e.g., "Hazel, the maid," "Jeeves, the butler," "Joe, the mechanic") is your first clue that it's bogus. The fact that Palin has been in public life for 15 years and never been accused of any such thing is your second clue.

Michelle Malkin says this progressive blog "comes off like a really, really bad Onion parody," and Allah is equally dubious. As Charlie notes, "Sambo" is a suspiciously dated reference, considering that Palin is only 44.

UPDATE IV: Allah sees Andrew Sullivan as the driving force giving a semblance of credibility to the Palin smears, and notes this Politico item:

[Reporter T.C.] Mitchell said the [Anchorage] Daily News received a call from a media outlet seeking the rules of the Miss Wasilla Pageant, presumably to determine whether Palin cheated when she won it in 1984.

In-freaking-credible!

Daily Kos: Palin is 'Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, and Mean' - Update: Down the Memory Hole! Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 10:20:22 am PST
Here we go again at Daily Kos, with another disgusting, transparently false smear against Sarah Palin: Daily Kos: ‘So Sambo Beat The Bitch’ - Sarah Palin...
Progressives! Is there any depth to which they will not dive?
Here’s the article they’re linking to, at “LA Progressive:” Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean.”
The charge that Palin has racist attitudes toward Eskimos is based on the word of an anonymous waitress at an unnamed restaurant. Another word for this kind of smear is “lying.”
It’s not even worth debunking, but I’ll just point out that Palin’s husband is of Eskimo descent.
UPDATE at 9/6/08 11:47:08 am:
And another Daily Kos hate diary vanishes down the memory hole: Daily Kos: ‘So Sambo Beat The Bitch’ - Sarah Palin...
UPDATE at 9/6/08 3:19:53 pm:
The Daily Kos administrators better get cracking, because here’s another one: Daily Kos: Did Palin call Barack a Sambo and Hillary a *****?
UPDATE at 9/6/08 7:42:36 pm:
Another one down the memory hole! Daily Kos: Did Palin call Barack a Sambo and Hillary a *****?

To be fair, I don’t buy this one either….

Well, if I’m going to lash one side for being idiotic, I may as well do the other side as well.
This story here is so nutty, that even I don’t even buy it.
The story comes from the Liberal Blog called the LA Progressive, I will resist the temptation to pull a Michelle Malkin here and say, “Well, considering the name, it’s a lie.”
Quote:

“So Sambo beat the *****!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.
Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”

Sorry folks, but I, the free-thinking Libertarian Conservative, don’t even buy this one. Do you really expect me to believe that a Woman of her political clout and stature in Alaska would go into a public restaurant and bellow out something as horribly despicable as this?
I would have to say that one would need a “Out of Order” sign posted at the entrance to one’s brain to believe something as outlandish as this.
Yeah, she might have stretched the truth a little on the Jet, She might have done some other rather idiotic stuff, while Mayor of Alaska. But this one, sorry, I don’t buy it, at all.
