Ruh-roh! Is Sarah Palin getting a divorce?

Is Sarah Palin fishing for a new hubby?

“Todd Palin and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are to divorce. Multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage have confirmed the news,” according to AlaskaReport.

A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska.

The Palins were noticeably not speaking to each other at last Sunday’s resignation speech in Fairbanks. Sarah ditched Todd (MSNBC) right after the speech and left without him. Sarah removed her wedding ring a couple of weeks ago.

Ruh-roh!  This doesn’t sound terribly family values does it?

UPDATE:

Palin has refuted the charges, on her Facebook page.  But has she blown it again?  Her is how Politico.com assessed her reaction:

By having her spokeswoman repeat the charges to rebut them in a public form, Palin effectively guaranteed coverage from the mainstream media that otherwise would not report claims attributed to unnamed sources on an anonymous blog.

Last month, just after announcing that she would resign, Palin similarly had her attorney issue a stinging letter threatening news organizations with defamation lawsuits if they reported on blog rumors that she was facing federal indictment. In doing so, Palin’s attorney recounted in detail the issue at the center of the accusations – that as Wasilla mayor she embezzled money from the construction of a town sports arena. Until the letter, the rumor had been confined to blogs. (Justice Department officials subsequently said there was no investigation.)

Going public with denials of these sort of charges may represent an odd sort of preemptive defense.

So is any of this true?  Hard to say.  Remember that Gary Hart and John Edwards emphatically denied they were having affairs – and they were lying.  If Palin’s marriage is in trouble, the truth will come out eventually.
