Dark Confessions Of A Political Blogger: I Once Showered With The Governor Of Alaska

It’s true.  Since Whistler (who spends entirely too much time wheedling my embarrassing childhood stories out of my mom via IM) has decided to make an issue out of this, I’ll come clean.

Current Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was once my older sister’s high school classmate and basketball squad team member.  My mom was a parent chaperon for the basketball team as both the boys’ and girls’ basketball seasons were at the same time and the teams traveled together.  Since Alaska is flippin’ huge, out-of-town basketball trips were often overnight trips with the visiting team usually sleeping on cots or something in the home team’s school.  Which meant that in the morning the team would shower in the locker room.

A couple of times I showered with Gov. Palin and the rest of the girls.  It wasn’t a big deal.  Not because of any suave machismo on my part, but rather because I was...like...five at the time and probably didn’t even want to be in the shower.  I say that because I don’t even remember it happening.  I’m just assuming that as a five year old boy I didn’t want to be clean.

Most five year old boys don’t.

But anyway, that’s my deep and dark secret personal secret about a now-prominent political figure.

If you read the thread you’ll see that Rob is the one that brought up that he showered with her.

I only mentioned that she was a girl and a friend of the family as Carol already blogged.

So Rob’s trying to claim that I was making an issue out of this, but I think it’s pretty clear that he’s proud about this.

Am I worried about being banned?  Not really.  I’ve also got a blackmail picture.  The problem is that you can only use it once.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

So cut to the point:
Is there any way to get some money from the newfound info?  Or is it just tabloid fodder?

Whistler, quit participating in the politics of personal destruction.

Moi? 

Rob’s bragging about it and using me as an excuse. 

She was a nice looking chick and still isn’t too hard on the eyes.  I’d brag too.

I think that anybody who can honestly say that he’s showered with an entire girl’s basketball team has bragging rights. Stand tall, Rob! You da man!

If you get banned we could start our own blog.  Call it saywhat?.com

I just have to set the record straight.  Rob dear you were only 2 years old. We won state when I was a sophomore and Sarah Palin was a senior in 1982.

I have a DVD of the championship game and there is a shot of dad holding you and you were just a toddler.

You still showered with the team for the next two years, but the governor wasn’t there. 

I know it was a long time ago, but I just got back from the 25th anniversary of our championship.  They honored us at the state tournament (with the governor, a good friend of mine).  Good times.

NDGAL,

Forget the DVD of the game.

Ya got one of the showers?

I’m thinking that wouldn’t be legal.
