Amanda Coyne has more on the Palin brawl

http://amandacoyne.com/politics/eyewitness-comes-forward-on-palin-brawl/




Eric Thompson was having fun with friends and his wife at a party in South Anchorage on Saturday night. Thompson, who is 56 years old, was the designated driver for the evening, so he wasn’t drinking. But that was okay with him. He was among friends. It was a birthday party for twins Matt and Marc McKenna, who own McKenna Bros Paving, for whom he works as a project supervisor. Marc is an Iron Dog snow machine racer. Other snow machine racers were said to have been there also.

The party was at Korey Klingenmeyer’s house, who is the office manger at McKenna Bros. According to Thompson, Klingenmeyer is a very large, muscular guy, “super easy going, and super friendly.”

Most of the party was outside. A live band was playing. People were dancing. Thompson noticed two girls wearing sunglasses walking with an unusual amount of confidence around the yard. He only noticed them because of the sunglasses. That was odd, because it was at night. His wife told him it was Bristol and Willow Palin. “Does she think she’s Marilyn Monroe?” he said to his wife about Bristol.

Todd and Sarah were there also. Todd races in the Iron Dog. According to another witness, Palin wore platform high-tops with the American flag emblazoned on them. Track Palin was there and so was Bristol’s son, Tripp.

This just goes to show you, you can't buy class.

I'm truly embarrassed for Ms. Palin. I hope she has the good sense to be embarrassed for herself.

I clicked on to the article thinking it was going to be about this but instead she was apologizing for losing the 2008 election.

I also possess the business acumen to know how much I could sell pictures of Sarah Palin and family piling out of a Hummer limo with sunglasses and platform shoes, let alone video of Todd choking someone or Sarah shouting “Do you know who I am?”.
