Shailey Tripp's Blog Going Silent

Take a few days to wrap up the income tax and enjoy having company for the weekend and look what happens!  A small earthquake hits Palinland.
  
I'm as surprised as anyone that Shailey Tripp is going to close her blog, yet, having digested the news, I see it is the next reasonable move in her progress toward making healthy choices and improving stability for her children.  Many, maybe even most of us, know that being a mom to young children is a demanding, 24-hour job. In Shailey’s case, “demanding” is magnified by the children's disabilities.  I would not even try to imagine what added stresses, costs, and care that involves. 

Combine the full-time job of childcare with another full-time job - looking for work.  Looking for work is also mentally and emotionally taxing.  In this economy there are plenty of people who can tell us about that. None except the insane among them would want the same Google problem as Shailey Tripp. Looking for work when “PROSTITUTE” comes up next to your name in all the search engines is another thing that is beyond my imagination.  In this century, we have to expect a vetting by potential employers. Human Resources professionals checking out Shailey Tripp find more than the usual number of hits. Some of them can be sourced back to me.

For one year, Shay has faithfully carried the additional and voluntary responsibility to check her blog, answer questions, delete the garbage left by bullies and a$$holes, find something interesting to write about, and write it in an interesting way – that I understand.  And drawing it to a close is not a sign that she's been less than honest. Though it takes time away from other things, blogging can feel really, really good.  Shailey spent a lot of time building her blog and it served as an outlet for her message. She was generous with other bloggers and shared her stories, not keeping everything to herself. Strangers commenting and building a  community, some giving a cheer, some challengers, and the useful ones who take time to correct you and each other -  all making your blog their place, too.  Shay put in the work to maintain it. Blogging is not for the faint of heart, it's on your mind every day, and tugs at you like a little child wanting to be picked up. You love it, even when your arms are tired.
In one way, Shay was lucky because she had a ready made audience. But that wasn't always lucky. That audience came with lots of assumptions. The only other blogger I can think of to compare that to in Palinland is Mercede Johnston who,  when she started to blog, also had a ready made audience who came with assumptions.  But those two bloggers were different in approach and maturity and dedication for readership. Mercede posted sporadically for a while and disappeared without the courtesy of an explanation, while Shailey worked at her blog, made herself available every Friday for a full year to answer our questions.   She didn't want to stop blogging just to walk away, I'm very sure of that. She is stopping in order to strengthen other areas of her life and she's provided a week’s notice that she has decided to step away.

I may be surprised, but I’m not disappointed, and I don't feel like I'm owed anything. We have been very lucky to have heard her story in her voice, to have seen documentation, and to have been invited to ask questions. She published a  book, named names,  and if we chose to, we can share that book with others.  Talk about someone who took one for the team! Yay Shay!

The fight will continue. Shailey herself will land more punches. She doesn't need to blog to do that. Todd and Sarah Palin may think they've knocked her out, or at the least, thing they won this round. They didn’t. The bell rang, and Shailey is catching her breath. She’s being given advice, she’s being tended to by the experts, she's toweling down and concentrating on what she needs to do to be strong when the bell rings again. 

Just like the rest of us, Shailey needs to take care of herself, find a good job - one where she uses her brain. She needs good health insurance for herself and her kids. When she finds that sense of security; her kids will sense it, too.  I can't begrudge her any of those things.  If she wants to put out a message through this blog once in a while, she will be welcome here. If she wants to let us know that the next round is about to begin, that would be great. We'll be here to cheer when the bell rings again and she's ready to go another round, be it in court, in print, or in an interview.   

Like I said, Shailey has not been knocked out by the Palins, the Anchorage Police, or the National Enquirer. She's taking a break between the rounds.  The referee may be crooked, but she’s still going to fight. And in order to last through to the last round, she needs to make the most of this time out. Put things in order.  I'm going to quietly let her do that.

Thank you Allison. Well said.

I think people thought they would miss her and the blog at first. But now just glad she is moving on. If she ends up more credible that will be good. She is a lot more wealthy then I am just because Alaska gets money from others to pay anyone who lives there. She has fewer kids and her rents not so high. And she also had a difficult life. I can empathize but don't get why she turned on people. Not everyone is rich and should have spent money on her book. Live and learn I guess.

Well said, Allison,

I think you are so right about Shailey. I think she must be a very strong person, and she sounds, to me, like she is getting stronger all the time.

I wish her all the best!

I am waiting to see if Malia Litman can write in depth. No one seems to actually know Ms. Tripp.

It's the deletion of the entire blog that most are questioning and oppose.

I could care less if she ever posts again, but to delete information from the web, even though others can snag it, seems, well fraught with ulterior on someones part. It appears suspicious, because we know other bloogers who were threatened and just walked away from their bogs, at least a few of the blogs on the web for future reference.

Just sayin... deleting it makes no sense.

Anonymous said...

Deleting it totally makes sense if you want a fresh start. Those who are saying they want bloggers to weigh in: They have. Allison weighed in here. Malia already DID weigh in in her comments over the weekend, with total support for Shay. Blade also weighed in. I don't know who else you're waiting for. That's 3 right there, and they all seem pretty close to Shay from previous interactions.

Anonymous said...

The people who could do most damage to Tripp, IF THEY EVER NEEDED TO, are the Palins. She already told them to download the whole blog. No doubt that has been happening all along. And nothing will probably get to court. It would only be if the Palins need to mess with her in the media and they would not attach their name to anything connected to her. It is not even likely they will ever need to mess with her in the media because she will most likely fade away.

The Palins are handling her more like they handle Levi. I think they will put her away, make it so no one will care to hear from her again. Just a few that think she is credible.

Sorry deleting makes no sense, let alone total sense. Shailey was told to close it down. That doesn't make you suspicious???

the only blogger to weigh in with any real weight is Malia. Blade is a friut cake, and allison just aggregates the other blogs' info... a day late and a dollar short. No offense, but blade and allison are not heavy weight bloggers.

The whole series of events is really weird.
Shailey is, of course, free to do as she pleases. Her blog is pretty much a pathetic joke. She can't be bothered to simply spell check anything and the grammar is atrocious. If she is looking for lucrative employment, it is probably best that there is no record of her attachment with the blog.
She comes across as pretty unhinged at times. For example, her rant a few weeks ago about Lifetime TV stealing her life story. OKAY........that was delusional.
She writes about how smart she is and how creative she is. My opinion is that she is of average intelligence and not particularly poetic. My opinion.
Anyway, she does have the goods on Toad, but she has so many other distracting issues that people have a hard time finding her credible.
I read her book. I have some issues with contradictory statements. I took some shit from other commentors for questioning the contradictions. But, I am a critical thinker.
Also, some of the stuff she writes about not being able to get help for her kids from the school district just doesn't wring true for me, as someone 1) in the business and 2)someone with a special needs kid myself. I just don't know what to make of her. And now, I won't have reason to care as the blog is going away.
Also, Shailey probably shouldn't hve identified herself as a rocket scientist either on one of her blogs. That's just crazy stuff.
I wish her well. Hope she gets help if she needs help. A good paying job with benefits. Strength to handle wahtever comes her way. Peace. Grace, calmness and clarity if she ever does get to talk about Toad on a national forum.
The other big name blogs have steered clear of Tripp. I think it is the cuckoo factor. The rocket scientist-ness. The contradicitons.
Well, good luck Shailey. I think it is a riot that Bristol named her kid the same name as you. If you knew more, I sure wish you had spilled it all. Now there is just too much crazy going on for many to even care.

Deleting the log makes total sense. The blog is listed under her NAME! The others who quilt blogging did not. They had pseudonyms -- and they didn't share as much of their personal history.

A potential employer looking on the internet does not need to EASILY find the information on Shay's blog. She has been very very courageous, and I thank her for that, but how many of us would have laid our life bare on the internet? Although she will be easily found on the internet, she doesn't need the info on her blog out there.

Anonymous said...

Alaska is a small town, the whole state under a million. How many potential employers in Alaska know the Palin name, the Tripp name? Everyone can find out more then enough about her employment history in a few minutes.

The Palins will have the blog downloaded and no doubt be glad to share the parts they select. Like her outrage over the Client List. You know that TV show was stolen from her and all that. Why wouldn't the Palins share with who they want? The Palins will perceive it as a fruitcake blog. Would you believe that woman? Remember Shay said the Palins kept everything on everybody.

Deleting the blog is good for the Palins, they can control their copy and use only the parts they want. Deleting the blog is not good for people who wanted to help Shay and promote her book for sales.

She no longer lives in Alaska. I dare any one of you to do what she has done--take the most awful details of your life, your feelings, your interactions with everyone--and put them out there for a bunch of strangers to comment on, project upon and piss on. She has her reasons--to pursue a dream she is taking this step. No promises that it will come true but she is doing it on a hope and a prayer. Mine go with her.

Anon. 10:70..It's all in her book so what difference does the blog make? Any potential employer doesn't have to dig very far to find out info on Shailey Tripp or Lawes.

Anonymous said...

The difference between Shailey and other bloggers, namely Mercede, is that she comes from a place of honestly and humbleness. I know she said she lost at least one good friend with her recent personal decisions and that blows obviously, but someone like Sadie, who lost several good friends BECAUSE of her constant lying and victim card playing is NOT comparable to someone like Shailey.

Shailey is to be admired. Mercede and others are to be ignored, for that is the only way she especially will ever grow up and start taking personal responsibility. Or just grow up.

To move on and live with inner peace, closing a blog makes sense. It's one thing less to worry about. Why are people so confused? Maybe her new opportunity would be more successful if she closed the blog. There are companies that frown upon facebook usage. I could imagine some people would frown upon blogging, esp something so controversial.

My only advice is to really consider what she puts out to the world. I remember akpetmom was turned off by her because of her descriptions of Alaskan living, how inaccurate she was. I know she dabbled in writing but she needs to consider how she comes across to everyone. She needs a focus. I don't think she's a mental case as many at the other blogs do, but she has at times been all over the place and some posts were borderline libelous. She names drops for attention, bringing people into her story and blog when they have nothing to do with anything, let alone don't even know her.

That turns off people.

Anonymous said...

The thing about Malia is, she relies too much on rumor and bias (kind of like Gryphen) and a lot of the time cannot paint an accurate picture or prove to the general public that she knows what she's talking about. She has a problem with letting people move on with their lives, constantly attacking people by throwing stupid past events in their faces. Malia handled Shailey well. Everything else she writes I don't respect. Gryphen is similar, as he refuses to see truth about the people he supports/sides with and feeds his personal Palin mythology when so much proves his beliefs to be false.

Anonymous said...

Too often Shailey thinks she is the knower of all things Palin related just because she had business dealings with Todd. Aside from that relationship, I had to ignore her because her opinion seemed forced or like she was trying to sound more knowledgable than she is. And what is with her being SOOO dang vague all the time. She cannot answer a simple question without giving a huge time frame. Even when she swears she has Sarah's intake med forms (something that's illegal to publish), she STILL cannot give an actual date. She couldnt answer questions about Sarah's intense travel schedule in early March, that she was definitely out of town March 2-4.

It's so frustrating to know someone is probably being truthful yet remain so damn shady in her statements. And adding her heightened emotions didn't help.

I do like how she initially chose to make her blog solely about what she engaged in businesswise. I hate that her editors made her include people and things that aren't related to Todd's secret life. Baby Tripp has nothing to do with it. So low to even mention him and associate him with a book about prostitution. Shailey should have remembered she once said children are off limits.

While her book is horribly written and edited, it does paint a picture that isn't uncommon. Corporate prostitution exists everywhere. Those types of dealings aren't new and probably won't end anytime soon. I'd love to know how someone like Todd was brought into the business. Random to me considering who he was. What made him join the game just a few years ago? Was it politically motivated? It appears he's left it behind and moved on as Shay has. Let's hope for the best and pray for the worst.

Why are people crazy for pointing out HUGE contradictions? Why do people think those don't matter to the general public who reads her words?

They look bad. We were pissed Levi told blatant lies to make himself look better. How is Shailey different? I know she was dealing with memory recall but DUDE. There are some pretty heavy conflicting statements, bloggers have noticed and refuse to give her airtime partly because of them.

I believe Shailey. She just needs to be careful and think clearly about everything she writes.

Anonymous said...

Anon 7:52, WTF are you talking about? I think there's a good possibly Sarah and Todd are ignoring Shailey.

If Shailey wants a shot at a good life for her family, she needs there to not be a blog attached to her name that illustrates her as a possible mental case who flies off the handle at the slightest provocation. Alaskans were turned off by her just from general descriptions of Alaska.

Let her do what is best for her. Who are WE to judge anyone for anything.

8:50 When Shailey first started blogging she had a post about her back child support etc..I asked why she wasn't going after her husband for the back support and she sent me an e-mail telling me her children and the support money was none of my business..at that point I started wondering what her motive was along with other inconstant comments and posts she's made..I do believe she had a relationship with Todd and he most likely sent friends her way but a lot the the rest of her story doesn't add up.

I mentioned Mercede because Allison did. Or did you NOT read this post? I was merely stating the difference between blogger Mercede and blogger Shailey. Shailey had a story to tell that affects many people and is a global problem. Mercede wrote a hate blog that, according to people who've known her for years and years, consists of lies. I was saying it's a shame Shailey lost friends over her braveness. There's a different between that and Mercede losing friends because she's just a little girl who refuses to grow up.

Allison mentioned her first. I was expounding with cld hard facts from those who know her. Just because you support someone over someone else doesn't make the side you support good. You don't know these people. So stop making fun of bots and come to that realization already. Support Shailey's braveness and don't wade in the other, more tripey bulls**t that doesn't matter.

9:18..there is still no reason to bring a young girl, Mercede into this..you are all comparing a young girl blogging and telling about her family"s problems to a grown women blogging and asking for help to support her book and asking for donations. Did you even read Mercede's blog, it was not a hate blog. I hope Shailey moves on for her and her children's sake and has a happy fulfilled future, she can't do that unless she moves out of the past.

She has 3 lawsuits in progress. If any of that works out, she will be spending a lot of time there.

Of course, S and T are ignoring Shailey. They will always ignore her in public. Shailey said that T keeps records, everything on everybody, it sounds like he is anal about it.

If Shailey told the truth it stands to reason T would have downloaded her entire blog since the beginning. Not S and T personally doing the work. They have lawyers, staff, computer geeks and many worker bees. Just saying they have their own copies of everything on Shailey's blog. Like they have everything on other people.

Shailey is moving on from that blog. She also has 3 lawsuits, that is what is said. I have heard nothing about depositions yet so the lawsuit talk could just be talk. The internet is forever, her blog is downloaded and in the wayback machine. Some people think she makes sense to delete it all on Friday. Others asked her to also consider the community she was leading. In a way she more or less said 'eat shit or die' to people who invested a lot of time, gave of themselves and spent money. Why suddenly so nasty? She could have shown more respect, she could have worked with her community, she could have handled things much better and not caused such madness. She did not handle the ending of her blog well at all. She became unhinged again and she did what she did. Those who are in denial for any reason will be in denial, that doesn't change the facts. People who did not deserve to be treated bad were and the excuses are empty and pathetic.

Since the blog will still be out there, I don't see why it mattered to her to have it shuttered on Friday. She may explain that one day. She has not done that and people are confused and rightfully questioning. It all seems very rigid and suspect is all. It is remiss not to question strange behaviors especially from anyone who makes a sudden turn around like she did.

Days before she was engaged in her blog, no clue she may have even a thought of abandoning it.

Anonymous said...

I noticed in her last post she didn't give any thought about thanking all her supporters for the time, energy and money they have spent supporting her..everything in that post was about her and her new opportunity, then at the end she says she's suddenly closing down her blog..pretty sad when you can't even thanks the people who helped you along the way.

Coincidentally some silence about the Secret Service prostitute incident while protecting the President ? ?

Me. Me. Me. She didn't thank us for all we did to support her. I can't believe what I am reading. Didn't any of you learn to give and help without receiving praise for it? Does everything have to be a big reward for helping someone? She wrote a book. She went before the courts. She ended up prostituting herself. She had her things taken. What kind of Good Samaritans are you? You gave a drowning person a hand up now you are complaining YOU didn't get praise. Have you walked one mile in her shoes? She has many miles ahead of her and her load is heavy. Can't you just smile and wish her well in her journey. If your child falls and skins his knee do you throw them out the door if he doesn't thank you over and over for making it feel better? Do you tell him he has to stay outside until it heals because he doesn't stop thanking you for cleaning it up, putting on some antibiotic cream to keep out the infection and applied a cute bandaid? Did you think buying her book, writing nice things on her blog would put Todd Palin in jail and you would think it was because you helped her? Does a surgeon wake the patient halfway through an operation so they can thank the doctor for making them better? Come on people, you are sounding like a bunch of greedy Repubs! Gimme, gimme,gimme!!

Anonymous said...

She didn't have to thank people but it would have been a nice way to end her blog..just saying. But I guess you're right she doesn't owe anybody anything and I wish the best for her sand her children.

Memories of April 17-18 2008 As recorded by Sarah Palin in Going Rogue
”At 4 am a strange sensation low in my belly woke me and I sat straight in bed. I shook Todd awake.” Something’s going on. “ Todd, instantly alert says “I’m calling CBJ” Sarah: NO Don’t do that! It’s 1 am in Alaska.” Then: “Desperation for this baby overwhelmed me.” “God knew what he was doing”
OK, desperate, but don’t call a doctor, any doctor, hell, a veterinarian would do at this point. Better than nothing! Desperate, but “God knew what he was doing” (OKAY, blame god for your stupidity.)
Sarah continues: “Over my protests, Todd calls CBJ. I felt fine and absolutely did not want to cancel my speech and disappoint the folks at the conference” We agreed I’d give my speech, take it easy and take an earlier flight back. I STILL HAD PLENTY OF TIME”
Just how did Sarah and CBJ know that Sarah had plenty of time. Why did CBJ not insist Sarah see a doctor, one that was in Texas??
At the conference Sarah writes she was having “Big laughs. More contractions” Many hours and two plane flights later , I delivered Tri-G Paxon Van Palin into the world at MatSu regional.
It just gets ridiculouser and ridiculouser every time one reads this shit over the years. I wonder though, if Sarah did indeed help the real birth mother of Tri-G deliver him into the world that morning? Maybe when CBJ spoke with her overnight, the real mom wasn’t dilated yet or anything, so they in fact DID KNOW they had plenty of time.
Anyway, just doing my part to keep this ridiculous story in the net.

Have you considered that not everyone is convinced that there is not fraud involved. The fraud could be inflicted upon an innocent Shailey or she could be inadvertantly part of it. All that will come out in due time. You can over the top defend some very questionable shaky behaviors and belittle others. That is your right.

It just makes you ineffective.

It won't stop the questioning and scrutiny to learn who Shailey Tripp really is and if she has been duped. You are convinced she is strong and will be fine. Others hope she can stand up against the Palins, Todd at least. But if anyone, including Shailey, is playing others in any little way, that needs to be known. Maybe her problems are from poor emotional and mental health and she is a naive victim of her own self. Or it may also be more insidious. No one can say just yet. I am keeping an open mind but definiently want answers. Not in the far off future.

One of her personas is as a computer wizard I hope that pans out and is all true. Some people have questions that she is not able to get help for her children in the school system. There are also concerns about the lawyers that are to help her. Is the situation similar to Levi? Is she some unfortunate that needs more help? There are many questions. Her blog is done, so no point is asking anything there.

If her new opportunity does have to do with education there is also concern that Chuck Heath and his connections would be involved. Not in a way directly known to Shailey but as manipulation. Money doesn't have to be involved if they know how to give her her dreams. An early Christmas, too good to be true. And she is taking a huge risk, nothing is certain. She just must work hard and preform whatever it is.

All this happened like a quick change artist. There were hooks about Gino Paoletti, a video and more. Then one day the Palins and Paoletti families were featured in very favorable posts. The next she writes an odd good bye. Is that something someone so school in her field as she claims to be would do and why?

Anonymous said...

comeonpeople,

The Heath/Palins are master manipulators and they can get all kinds of people to do unthinkable things.
The media has never done jack sh*t with the most important parts of her story. If the birth is too much for them I was hoping they would take on the wild ride.

This is great news! You know there are many girls that knew Todd. This will help take pressure off of all of them. Also take pressure off of Shailey. She can happily be left alone and do her own thing. Very good. She sent her book to Governor Parnell and others. That must help get her story out.

Allison, thanks for all you've done to help Shailey get her story out. And BTW, your blog is notable for not just being a rehash of other blogs. Sorry this post drew disparaging comments. Perhaps that's an example of why Shailey has stopped blogging.

FreshAir said...

Someone pointed out that Shailey Tripp has not recieved any denials about the people she mentions in her book. None of the men in her book have denied knowing her, they have not denied knowing about prostitution, they have not denied engaging in prostitution, they have not denied knowing Todd Palin or even one another. None of the witnesses she has mentioned has denied or retracted anything they have said. The three people who have outed Todd Palin for visiting Shailey Tripp also have not denied or retracted anything, It seems to me this makes Shailey Tripp’s word very sound and believable. Do you not think that the silence surrounding her book just adds to her credibility?

Anonymous said...

FreshAir... Yes, that part does add to her credibility. That is why everyone who wants Todd exposed hopes that Shailey holds up under it all. If she gets in a court room there will be far more about her being a credible witness. You can't believe how severe that is. She needs the best of lawyers on her side. They all need to be prepared for everything and all the surprises that come up. If there are depositions, just wait for that process. Many cases are over before they get to court.

If Shailey is up against a Palin syndicate you don't think they will play dirty? They don't want anything aired in public. They will keep it in the dark as much as they can. Tampering with evidence, witness influencing will all be in the shadows. The Palins know their way around Alaskan courts and they know how to avoid ever going in the front door.

Way to go! Thank you Allison. Maybe Shailey will thank her supporters, the ones she likes now on Friday. Better to keep the 'ESAD' silent, but we get it. A spirit of gratitude comes natural to those who feel it, it is not something you have to remember to do. All is well that ends well.

Shailey has been so brave and her writing is accurate. However it is written..... 5:23 you might try using the word "wring" for hands, not "wring" true. "Ring" ring a bell?
Allison writes compellingly well. I am going to use a Brisdull ploy here, "You all are just jealous".
Besides that it is appalling that those comments that are so derisive sound so pathetically lame. None of those posts are supported by so called critical thinking. Just ignorance.
And while I am at it, younger women should be getting off their duffs and supporting the women's rights march on DC on April 28th in your respective areas and states. Do something that we older women have lived through and witnessed in terms of deciding our own bodies governance. unitewomen.org.

Anon 9:31 You sound like an unhinged Shailey. I don't think any of her loyal and supportive readers where looking for a "Big Reward", LOL!!!! But I think some simple INTRINSIC gratitude is expected, though. If it was there within Shailey, it would have easily and graciously been displayed on that last post! That type of thing, a powerful sense of thankfulness, just comes easily to some. Other's, not so much. Shailey's lack of it, as well as her disrespect really brings her character into question.
Hmmmmmmm. http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=3225.0

"I think there's a good possibly Sarah and Todd are ignoring Shailey.
If Shailey wants a shot at a good life for her family, she needs there to not be a blog attached to her name that illustrates her as a possible mental case who flies off the handle at the slightest provocation."


Right there with ya; couldn't agree more. Yes, ALL of the people she's made allegations about are flat-out ignoring it. What else should they do? I'm sure there's many consultations with respective attorneys, considering how long to let this go on.

Regarding Shailey's complaints about child support. "I asked why she wasn't going after her husband...she sent me an e-mail telling me her children and the support money was none of my business..."

She's still married. Divorce proceedings were dismissed, due to non-response. She doesn't have a custody order. So either she doesn't have what she needs to file for child support, or her children's father has them for a large part of the time (which is what I think), or she DOES get child support.

"She has 3 lawsuits in progress."
FACT - No, she doesn't. She's filed no lawsuits against anyone. No Anchorage Police Department complaints. Nothing. She just says she does and everyone buys into it.

"None of the witnesses she has mentioned has denied or retracted anything they have said. The three people who have outed Todd Palin for visiting Shailey Tripp also have not denied or retracted anything."
Yep, that's right. They haven't, have they? Maybe it's because there are no witnesses.
"Three people who outed Todd Palin..." - what three people? This just didn't happen.
Name the three people and I will personally research it directly, contact them, find out, and make report back here.

Showtime TV. "Like her outrage over the Client List. You know that TV show was stolen from her and all that."

"The Client List" is a fictionalized drama based on real events involving a West Texas massage parlor, the "Healing Touch" in Odessa, Texas. IN 2004.

Showtime stole Shailey's life story? Ya think? Really?
Lifetime's television movie was released July 19, 2010. Which means it was in production long before. And pre-production before that. Before Shailey Tripp was arrested. Sorry, it cannot be Shailey's life story. The lack of common sense in this recent claim just hurts my head.

In fact, it's occurred to me that it's possible Shailey saw "The Client List" sitting in a hotel room in Seattle in July 2010, and manufactured the whole damn thing, imagining that media wouldn't fail to pick up a story about Todd Palin.

And how did this all happen? According to Shailey Tripp's blog, a "nurse coworker" at All About You Medical Spa spilled the beans to someone. To whom? How would a nurse know what she did with Todd Palin and when? Shailey's own words contradict this.

The anonymous email.
January 4th, 2011 - An anonymous tipster (thepalinmorals@hotmail.com) sent out emails to news outlets:
"My sources reveal that a massage therapist and computer technologist, Shailey Tripp, had an affair with Todd Palin that lead (sic) to her arrest March of 2010....According to the tenants in the building of her offices, they saw Todd come up and go often and heard noises that sounded like someone was having sex. It was the same tenants who called the police on her."

Multiple emails. Sent to news outlets. NOT in January 2011. BEFORE. Because the National Enquirer had already prepared a story for print. By the time they had a January print story, Shailey would have already been to NE offices, had polygraph testing (three times), documents vetted, contracts drawn up, negotiated, signed.

Who blames Todd Palin for Shailey's arrest? Shailey.
The arrest reports say it was an undercover police operation, based on Craigslist ads. Real ads, that I have seen with my own eyes. Information provided by the owner of Shailey's office building says nothing about Todd Palin. It just simply doesn't. That's a fact.

Who has characterized prostitution as "an affair"? Shailey.
Nobody else has. In fact, it's been a source of blog argument and conversation. Most people don't describe hiring a prostitute as "having an affair".

Who was in a position to have knowledge of some involvement of Todd Palin, before the National Enquirer story? No one.

Who sent those anonymous emails to news outlets? Shailey did.
