Sarah Palin's Extramarital Affair, Her Outrageous Preacher, and Her Desire to Secede from the United States

Wow. There is way too much controversy surrounding this woman! The newest allegation is that she had an extramarital affair, which tidbit of information comes from none other than the National Enquirer. This is, as many may remember, the same magazine that first brought Democrat John Edwards' affair to the attention of the public back when no one believed that it could be true.

In what should be a widely covered sex scandal, the magazine alleges that she had an affair with one of her husband's business partners, and her husband found out about it and cut all ties with the man. However, unlike Edwards, Palin will likely not step forward and admit this, so unless some kind of proof exists, 'pit bull Palin' will continue to sit pretty in her VP spot.

We've learned a lot about Palin lately. She's a great orator, she is one tough cookie, and she holds strong to her values. However, we've also learned a few other things about her.

For one thing, she is a religious nut. She has stated that the war in Iraq is a mission from God and has said that the construction of a gas pipeline in Alaska is "God's will". She wanted creationism only taught in Alaskan schools, which means absolutely no science allowed when it comes to things like the creation of the universe, dinosaurs, and how evolution works. She also apparently was a member of a church, the Wasilla Assembly of God, where her preacher's sermons even more controversial than those of the ostracized Reverend Jeremiah Wright (Remember him? He was Barack Obama's preacher that you couldn't avoid seeing on the news if you wanted to). Her preacher seemed to believe that anyone who didn't support George Bush in the last election would burn in hell and has claimed that the 9/11 attack and the war and Iraqi are a war on faith and that, if people really want to follow Jesus, they will give their lives to win this war. His sermons used to be available for viewing online, but they cannot be viewed as of right now due to the high amount of web traffic on the church's website (We'll see if they ever get back online).
