Book Claim: Sarah Palin Hooked Up With Glen Rice in 1987, When He Played For Michigan
Joe McGinniss, the investigative reporter who moved next door to Sarah Palin to write a book about the former Governor, has unearthed a blockbuster claim that the sports world will love: In 1987, when Palin was working at an Anchorage TV station, she hooked up with Michigan basketball player Glen Rice, who was in Alaska for a college hoops tournament. The National Enquirer has the details:
In the book, which will be published on September 20th, McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud GLEN RICE less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd.
Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU.
A publishing source told The ENQUIRER that McGinniss claims Sarah had a “fetish” for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had “hauled (Rice’s) ass down.”
And before you dismiss this as some rumor … Rice confirmed the story to McGinniss.
Rice went on to lead Michigan to the title in 1989, and then had a very productive NBA career (he was a phenomenal shooter). He wound up marrying the gorgeous Christina Rice, but that fell apart when he found a man she was having an affair with in the closet of a house they used to share together. In a scene straight out of the Last Boy Scout, Rice beat the crap out of the guy (the man needed nine stitches).

Isn’t the use of fetish here sort of offensive? I mean having sex with a black person isn’t like being tied up and urinated on. I mean it can also be that, but it doesn’t have to be.
September 14th, 2011 at 9:03 AM

September 14th, 2011 at 9:05 AM
Isn’t the use of fetish here sort of offensive?
who knows. But if you’ve only ever lived in Alaska, Idaho and Hawaii, maybe you just develop a crazy desire to do it to a giant black dude. Like an irrational want.
Like you’re some lonely guy sitting at home, and you stop just wanting to have sex with a girl, and all of the sudden, you feel like you need to find some girl, put your penis into her anus, and then immediately remove it and put it into her mouth. Because that’s what the cool kids do.

Once you get over the “oooh-weee” factor, I tend to agree that there is nothing to see here. People hook up all the time for all kinds of reasons. Clearly it’s meant to discredit her–which I think you can do without bringing up her past.

It’s only racist in that it plays against the image of Sarah Palin, leader of the mongrels who would bring Curious George on a noose dolls to Tea Party rallies actually slept with black men and even had a -gasp- fetish for them at one time. It really is stupid and shouldn’t mean any more than any other athlete she surely fucked as an intern at a TV station.
September 14th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
Eh, I don’t know. I’ve known women who, on the surface, seemed like that and I come to find out after the fact that they were the biggest freaks.

She’s done enough to discredit herself by opening her mouth. Although I’m sure to certain people this is scandalous.
September 14th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
I agree with this, actually. This seems like piling on, albeit hilariously so.
September 14th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
It’s not piling on. It’s pursuit of dollars. Sarah Palin (with the help of a media – and public – obsessed with her) has made herself a celebrity.
McGinnis (and everyone else) is just trying to get a spot at the Trough of Palin.
You shouldn’t feel bad for Palin any more than you should feel bad for a Kardashian.

September 14th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
The focus on the interracial aspect makes it racist. The racism isn’t overt, but it’s still there and it’s unseemly. It’s meant to be provocative or salacious, not on the account of Palin sleeping with a man, but that she slept with a black man.
If, say, Andrew Breitbart wrote a book on the “real” life of Barack Obama, and in a portion of it he recounted some hypothetical sexual encounters with white women in his college days, and wrote that Obama had a fetish for white women and “hauled them down,” he’d be crucified for it, and there would really be no defense to accusations of it being racist in nature.

Racism? No. As to whether it’s scandalous or not, it doesn’t really matter. The author is trying to illustrate that she’s not who she says she is.

She’ll use it to her advantage though, fits right in with here “lamestream (haha!) media just wants to attack me and my christian faith” yada yada yada.

And it’s going to stick around until all races can collectively get their heads out of their asses and stop calling any slight towards them “racist.” But to call something like this “racism” is just silly, and really “racism” is the wrong word choice anyway. People throw that word out there when they don’t really know what it means just to get attention. There’s a black President. Moveon.org pal.

If you’re in the wedding party, I’d bump that gift.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
But it’s always “liberal” racism and/or sexism, never “conservative” or standard racism/sexism, right? You’re a tool.

September 14th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
She’s a hypocrite because she (allegedly) hooked up with a (black) guy when she was unmarried in 1987?
Hasn’t she been banging the “abstinence is the only way!” drum for the last 4 years or so? I’d say that makes her pretty hypocritical. Do as I say, not as I did. But I’m not as intellectually superior to everyone else as you.

Not in the wedding party. Thanks for the advice guys.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Yup, I know that our wedding gifts did not make a big dent in our wedding expense.
Absolutely. Should be at least $200+ if you’re single in the wedding party. If you’re married/engaged/with gf, should be at least $300+
September 14th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
Holy fuck, high rollers..
September 14th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
Badger- look at the costs of their gifts. If 100 bucks will get them one of their decent gifts then go right ahead
September 14th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
should have said wedding registry..
September 14th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I did $300 as the Best Man. Otherwise, $100 is totally acceptable.

Is a recovered drug addict telling people not to do drugs a hypocrite then as well? I wouldn’t make too much out of what someone did 20 years ago and how they think today
All for a 50% chance of making it too, would rather let that money ride on an NFL wager…and I remain firm at $50, you’re not alone CJ
September 14th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
Are you guys counting the gift you got them for the bridal shower in with this $300? Insanity.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
I’ve been to firehall weddings where maybe you could ease off the pedal a bit, with respect to cash giving, but if the couple is having the reception in a nice place with a cash bar, they you should ante up a bit.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
The fuck is a bridal shower?

Glad I’m not the only one thinking this… feel free to pass along some dough to me! I have a $1000 deductible to pay in two weeks and have had zero health insurance for two months now because I can’t afford it.

By that logic hypocrites don’t exist then. You could always just say “well, I don’t do it anymore.” So, you win I guess.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
I’m just basing this on my own wedding and what we received from our bridal party. My wife’s sister, her maid of honor gave us $400 and we got similar sized gifts from the other members of our bridal party.

I go to like one wedding a year. I tend to ravage your open bar. You’ll get a nice gift from me. Especially if you send me a copy of the guest list beforehand. Bonus for including headshots.

And yes, I know you’ll fire back with “a hypocrite is someone who says something and is CURRENTLY doing the opposite” yada yada yada. I know. I don’t care to engage in this matter any further.

If after she gave a speech about purity she went out and blew Juwan Howard she’d be a hypocrite, just saying a statue of limitations can exist
I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies
September 14th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
you can bang a lot of dudes in your prime years and then grow older to preach about abstinence. I dont think that makes you a hypocrite.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
just saying a statue of limitations can exist
fair enough.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
I’m old enough to be going to second weddings now. Drinking-wise, those weddings, so far, have been rowdier than ones I went to when I was just getting out of college.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
she would be a hypocrite if she was preaching abstinence and then getting gang banged every other saturday

the only issue I take with that is that she’s preaching that to those who are in their prime years, and not settled down like she is. They’re going to and want to screw just like she did when she was 20. Abstinence only education is just a stupid policy that doesn’t work, so I’m probably biased.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Yeesh. If I ever get married again, it’s gonna be a destination wedding, and no gifts will be accepted. That’d be so lame to expect people to give you stuff for doing the same thing again.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Yeah its retarded. Its against human nature and the Church being against birth control is foolish as well. Lets have more unwanted babies in this world!
September 14th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
wait a blushing bride minute….wedding gifts are supposed to help someone pay for their wedding? people who plan expensive weddings don;t ask guests if they should add the fresh flowers and salsa band. otherwise, why have a registry? ask for money and that’s it
September 14th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
I think it depends on how far apart your weddings were.
And I agree with you on the destination wedding part. I wouldn’t want to go through that whole “My Aunt Sondra can’t be at the same table as my Aunt Gertrude” or the “Your cousin brought her kids, so my cousin should be able to bring her kids” bullshit ever again.
September 14th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Guy I know let his fiance talk him into a full wedding despite it being her second, made things worse for him by having the reception fall during the night of the Wisconsin/Nebraska game…just seems so phony to go through the whole ceremony saying the same bullshit that was supposed to stick the first time (I want to know if the ceremony starts with the first husband returning her to her dad before they walk down the aisle again)

I’d have no problem being asked for cash when going to a wedding. Giving cash is easy.
I don’t understand the people who bring gifts to weddings at all.

Did the reporter ask Glen Rice if Palin was any good in the sack? Just curious.
September 14th, 2011 at 12:47 PM
Really feel like Glen shoulda been doing better than this. Palin’s always been overrated to me in the looks department, even when she was younger she was just aight.

September 14th, 2011 at 1:31 PM
Just think of the following possible scenario.
Palin announces for Republican presidential nomination in a month. Romney and Perry split the vote for mainstream Republicans. Voters figure out that Bachmann is mentally retarded from having talked about HPV vaccination. Palin slides by to win the nomination and names Glenn Rice as her VP. Rice and Palin could get it on in the White House on the 25th anniversary of their first hook up.
September 14th, 2011 at 1:40 PM
So this reporter stalks her for 2 years and the best thing hes got is that she plowed Glen Rice? BEFORE she was married mind you.
September 14th, 2011 at 1:42 PM
Too bad this was a bit too early for digital cameras. Think of the fun with that.
Can anyone find the boxscores for those three games in Alaska that year? I know that Michigan smoked Miami, then lost a close game to Arizona, before beating UAB. But I can’t find stats for Rice for those three games.

September 16th, 2011 at 5:24 AM
Stalked? Are you serious? Do you even know the meaning of the word? Yes, the author moved into a house next door to the Palins. Did he hide that fact? No. Did he use any of that information in his book? He says he did not. The Palins also built a massive fence to block his sightlines. I’m sure if the author had followed Palin around town, they would have had him arrested. So, please tell me how he “stalked” her.
And anyone who claims this is “racism,” is an f-ing moron. This is about her preaching abstinence, not Glen Rice being a black man. It’s just amusing irony that the queen of one of the biggest racist groups (if not THE biggest) in the country (the Tea Party, do I even need to say it?), not only banged a high-profile black athlete, but allegedly has a fetish about black men in general.
I don’t especially care what she did 20-something years ago. But when she’s telling others how to live their lives at that same age, it DOES smack of hypocrisy. Then again, I didn’t care about Clinton getting oral in the White House. A President deserves some perks. It didn’t effect his ability to do his job. My only criticism was Bill’s choice of a chunky intern when he could have gotten the Marilyn Monroe/Megan Fox of his day.

Red Hot Sarah
There once was a news girl named Sarah
Whose loins were a burning caldera
‘Til a black guy named Rice
Was able to advise
Her to let him hose off her Sahara.
Then Sarah grew fond of Glen’s juice,
‘Cause it certainly made her flower loose!
But soon Glen had to go,
And Sarah, don’t your know
True to form, started dating a moose!
Later on Sarah decided to marry
Her sweetheart, who’s white ordinary
Now “Once you go black
You never go back”
Is liable to give Todd his first coronary!
But Sarah, being a political over achiever
Was able to cool her red hot Alaskan beaver.
But now we all know
That there’s more to her show
‘Cause this candidate once had Jungle Fever!
