Palin was 22 years old at the time of his arrest.
The news of Todd Palin's DUI arrest comes on the same day that Sarah Palin announced her 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant.

Mrs. Palen''s husband is no concern to me what-so-ever. Her pregnant daughter is no voncern to me.
The news has covered both issues you raised and Obama wrote about one of them (drug use as a youth) and has talked about it many times.
The other is completely debunked. Go to factcheck.org for the truth (which you care nothing about)

If you had done one ounce of research you would know about his drug use in 99,..not when he was a kid!!
If you had a clue, you would know that factcheck.org is affiliated with the Annenberg Foundation,..Ayers and Obama anyone? This is just starting to be reported, you are a gullible fool!!
McCain 08
Hillary 12
Soetoro,..NEVER!!
Take care all,...and try to do some research.
Again, I could care less what Palin''s husband did 20 years ago or that her daughter is pregnant.
For everyone else, just wait for more attacks from the Right-wing-nuts (the ones who have ruined the GOP). Don''t be surprised when they say Barracks grandfather was in the KKK. Don''t be surprised when they say he''s murdered someone. Don''t be surprised when they say he raped a white women. Don''t be surprised when they do or say anything to further their cause. All the while talking about "MORALITY" In Jesus name amen!

I guess drinkin'' and bangin'' are two good ways to keep warm up there.
But I don''t think Dem''s are in trouble, because of the policies of the man at the top of the ticket, McCain. Bush''s policies have been a nightmare and the nightmare continues if McCain is elected.
What many don''t realize is that the economy under Democratic presidents have out performed GOP presidents by a huge margin over the last 100 years and in the last 20 years (BUSH/CLINTON/BUSH) we went from the a deficit (BUSH) to the largest surplus in American history (CLINTON) to the largest deficit in history (BUSH).
I think this will yet again be a very close election. Pallen''s anouncement haqsn''t changed the polls yet, Obama still has a razor thin 3% lead.

Sheesh, sloppy sloppy. Is this how the maverick would run his white house. Making rash irresponsible decisions? Not impressed.
Now Obama/Biden are just cruisin'' along, right on message, right on track. You know, like professionals that seriously want the roles of pres and vp. I don''t think mccain is taking this seriously, and he certainly hasn''t thought past Nov 4. If he had he surely wouldn''t have picked a flawed, extremely unqualified, trophy vp. Are the standards that low for republicans?
While I really don''t care what he did in 1986 I do care about what the right wing keeps saying. They now are on an excuse for everything there party does. I mean stop making excuses and fix the problems or else you will not have a party to fix.
From the swing voters.
Tell people who to sleep with, who to marry, how to live your personal life;
Send your tax dollars to other countries, than tell you public education does not work, so Jeb Bush''s company can get money by having a fundamental Christian voucher program to be reimbursed by tax dollars;
Send taxes dollars to other countries, spent on private no-bid contractors, pay fundamentalists in other countries to attack those the US Military is trying to destroy;
Expect Troops who come home disabled to be "rated" as to what level of disability at reflecting how much money they will get for assistance while John McCain is considered 100% disabled and gets almost 60 thousand tax-free dollars a year, but is running for president;
Deny Troops appropriate time to heal physically and mentally from prior combat, send many injured physically and stress-out mentally men and woman back into combat;
Deny assistance and legal action to help female troops who have been raped while in the Military;
Deny the fact that the word "conservative" only is useful when they state that they will not raise taxes, but all they do is give tax-breaks to the top 1% of the wealthiest Americans and the rest of Americans pay over 50 percent of their income in taxes.

Shame, shame, shame...do you drink,

Instead McCain put POLITICS over COUNTRY
McCain has NO INTEGRITY. His "Country First" slogan is nothing more than that. "Winning First" should be his slogan. It is more accurate.
How sad. This woman has only 19 months experience. Before that she was part-time mayor of a 9000 person town.
She has NO foreign policy experience- she hasn''t even been out of her state to deal with foreign leaders. America''s enemies would eat her alive when McCain dies in office.
Don''t forget- she used her power over THREE YEARS (and during her entire short term as governor) to get an ex-husband of her relative fired from a state job, then fired the State agency head who would not fire the "ex" as she demanded. She has been pursuing a VINDICTIVE CAMPAIGN against the ex-husband for THREE YEARS, using all of her levers of power including her appointed government officials and beholden political associates. She''s under investigation for misusing her power in this case. Quite an accomplishment- corruption before being in office even a year.
This is a weak pick. It looks all shiny on the surface, but once people take a little closer look at her she will be seen as the corrupt empty suit she is.
A VP candidate''s husband got a DUI over 20 years ago? I think it would be more relevant to determine whether or not Barack Obama''s first lover was a card carrying member of the Communist Party USA, and a man.
Odd, I don''t see the New York news media scrambling out the door to get the low down on Frank Marshall Davis, Obama''s acknowledged mentor and a published author of a pornographic book involving pedophilia and bondage.
Sarah Palin FLAT OUT LIED about her supposed "opposition" to the famous "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska.
In her V.P. introductory speech she claimed she said, "thanks but no thanks" to the pork barrel project. IT WAS A LIE.
LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO, the Anchorage Daily News quoted her on Oct. 22, 2006, as saying yes, she would continue state funding for the bridge because she wanted swift action on infrastructure projects. "The window is now while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist," she said.
In a Sept. 20, 2006 appearance of the gubernatorial candidates in Ketchikan, she said, "The money that''s been appropriated for the project, it should remain available for a link, an access process as we continue to evaluate the scope and just how best to just get this done," the Ketchikan Daily News quoted Palin as saying. "This link is a commitment to help Ketchikan expand its access, to help this community prosper. I think we''re going to make a good team as we progress that bridge project."
Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein said he was there at the candidate forum when "she was asked about the bridge and she supported it."
SO PALIN LIES. She''s a weak token candidate- an insult to the much more qualified Republican women McCain could have selected. Oh, and SHE LIES.
Where''s the line drawn - and is this line dotted or solid? Depending on circumstances, some leeway is warranted. Context...

Palin as a reformer, I believe opportunist. She endorsed the earmark to get the money, canceled the bridge and SPENT THE MONEY ON OTHER PROJECTS. Additional money for a road on the island would have had to be returned to the Federal government if that part of the project was canceled, so she is building the road that would have connected to the bridge and it will end at an empty beach.
I have sections from two news reports in Alaska that confirm this. -- interested?

1. Sarah Palin is believes in abstinence-only *** education. Did she endanger her child''''s life by not teaching her about contraception?
2. She traveled to give a speech when she was having her kid (against the opinion of her doctor), who now is sick. Did she endanger the life of her baby?
3. Not to mention, the incompetence of McCain. Why did he choose someone who is clearly not capable of handling the pressures of a national campaign.
The Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) believes:
-- Alaskans must vote for secession from the United States (can you say "49 states"?)
-- That "the vote for Alaskan statehood was invalid"
-- ALL environmental regulation should be eliminated
-- All government lands should be turned over to private parties
-- THE MAJOR PARTIES MUST BE "INFILTRATED" TO OBTAIN ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE
WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF PALIN''S RELATIONSHIP TO THE AIP?
Palin belonged to the AIP before she decided to seek higher office.
The AIP supported Palin for Governor.
AIP Vice Chairman of the AIP, Dexter Clark revealed this year:
"the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. ... And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town %u2013 that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along %u2013 she eventually joined the Republican Party
Sarah Palin recorded a nice message to the AIP Convention this year, saying that the party "plays an important role in our state''s politics" and that "we have a great promise to be a self-sufficient state."
Is Sarah Palin a radical Alaskan secessionist? She certainly believes in them, and she belonged to their party before it became politically expedient for her to join the Republicans...
Back then friends actually did let friends drive drunk. If he had a second arrest or injured someone this would have more relevance.

Just for Grins --
Remember the US bought Alaska from the Russians in 1867 for $7.2 million.
How would Alaska reimburse the US for its succession?
Would it be $7.2 Million PLUS improvements all inflation adjusted?
OR
Current Market Value?
And what would the terms be for that jumbo loan?
On the other hand, after 9 months of campaigning for President, you can''t find anything in the New York media about the "sweet deal" convicted racketeer Tony Rezko gave Obama on his real estate, or what Obama did for Rezko to earn such favor. There is nothing about OPEC lawyer Perry Sutton and OPEC banker Khalid Al-Monseur helping Obama get into Harvard. There is nothing about who paid his tuition and supported him while he was there, probably over $100,000 per year and clearly beyond the means of his grandparents. Bill Ayers is dismissed as just "a neighbor", but alternative media makes it look more like the old Weatherman bomber was a member of his "Kitchen Council". And then there is deafening silence about the man Obama himself identified as his teenaged mentor in Hawaii, card carrying Communist Party, USA member and pornographic autobiographer (pedophilia), Frank Marshall Davis.
If we want to go back 20 years to dig up dirt about Sarah palin''s husband, let''s be fair and find out if Frank Marshall Davis really was Barack Obama''s first lover.

Early THIS year, an op-ed in the Anchorage Daily News ripped into Gov. Sarah Palin''s appearance (1/15/08) on a morning "shock jock" radio show ("The Bob and Mark Show") as "plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I''ve ever seen from a politician."
Palin has feuded with State Senate president, Lyda Green, over a wide range of legislation.
Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer.
PALIN knows full well Lyda Green is a CANCER SURVIVOR, but didn''t do what any decent person would do, say, "Bob, that''s going too far."
Lester questioned Green''s motherhood, asking Palin if Green cares about her own kids.
PALIN LAUGHS.
Then Lester says, "Lyda Green is a cancer and a b*tch."
PALIN LAUGHS for the second time.
What were teenage boys and girls thinking when they heard the governor laugh at someone being called a b*tch? How about the teenage girls who look up to Palin? What did they think as she laughed?
But there is more. Lester then describes Green''s chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator''s weight.
PALIN LAUGHS a third time.
Palin was clearly enjoying every second of Lester''s vicious attack on Lyda Green. Then she says she''s "honored" by Lester and invites him to her official State of Alaska speech.

NOW there are reports that McCAIN HAS SENT a team of ADDITIONAL "VETTERS" to Alaska TODAY. They will be investigating to find out what they should have discovered about Palin BEFORE McCain decided to make her his V.P. candidate.
A LITTLE LATE, ISN''T IT McCAIN?
Now it is coming out that McCain made a last minute "seat of the pants" decision to pick Palin. This came after Karl Rove vetoed Joe Lieberman, and the Evangelicals vetoed Tom Ridge. McCain "liked" Paliin, so he picked her without doing the background work.
Reports indicate that McCain campaign vetters arrived in Alaska ONLY ONE DAY before the decision to pick Palin was announced Friday. McCain met with her the FIRST TIME on Thursday, and OFFERED HER THE JOB ON-THE-SPOT.
This proves McCain is no where near ready to make critical decisions for this country. He failed to properly do the HOMEWORK before making his most CRITICAL decision to date. We do not need him deciding which war to start next.

Asked whether everything that came up as a possible red flag during the review already has been made public, Culvahouse said: "I think so. Yah, I think so. Correct."
For Palin specifically, the team studied online archives of the state''''s largest newspapers, including the Anchorage Daily News, ...

As for the infamous "bridges to nowhere," MacDonald asked if the candidates would forge ahead with the proposed Knik Arm crossing between Anchorage and Point MacKenzie and Ketchikan''s Gravina Island bridge. Each has received more than $90 million in federal funding and drew nationwide attacks as being unnecessary and expensive. He also asked if they support building an access road from Juneau toward -- but not completely connecting to -- Skagway and Haines.
"I do support the infrastructure projects that are on tap here in the state of Alaska that our congressional delegations worked hard for," Palin said. She said the projects link communities and create jobs.
In addition to Earmarks as Governor including the bridge to nowhere already reported, Palin lobbied for earmarks as a mayor reportedly netting $1000 for every resident of her town in 2002 alone and almost $27 million in 4 years. No Reformers here.

COULD YOU IMAGINE IF A REPUBLICAN VP CANDIDATE HAD SAID THE SAME THINGS...OYE VEY! YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR THE END IF IT.
IVE ALWAYS SAID THE MEDIA BIAS IN NOT SHOWN IS WHAT IS COVERED, ITS SHOWN IN WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
It doesn''t matter whether it was the Christian News Network or The National Enquirer who broke the story, CBS shouldn''t have disseminated it. The candidates'' foibles are fair game, but to dredge up a 22 year old ticket on a candidate''s husband is beyond the pale. CBS and Conroy both abdicated on their responsibilities as supposed main stream media representatives.
