From the comments section of this post, “Oh, my, the Palin ‘business partner’ suddenly rushed into court to get divorce files sealed”:
Rumor from Alaska is that this refers to an affair the wife, Debbie, had with one of Palin’s advisers. Todd Palin got him fired. Since the order was denied, this will be public soon.
John McCain was a prisoner in Vietnam. So was Gary Glitter, and I’m not voting for him either.

State policy on co-worker relations
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 2008-07-26 11:31.
There is no such state policy. Even if there were, Debbie Richter was not Bitney’s co-worker. He worked in the Governor’s Office in the Capitol Building and she works in the Dept. of Revenue in another office building. This was not a matter of any state policy being breached. This is an incident right out of high school–”You’re seeing my ex-girlfriend and me and my gang will get you.” The Palins decided to go after Bitney because Scott Richter, Todd’s friend and Sarah’s ex-boyfriend asked them to. Richter is also a business partner with the Palins in investment property in the Mat-Su Valley. The Palins and Scott Richter would not let it go after John Bitney was hired by Rep. Harris. Richter wanted him fired from his new job and the Palins tried to apply pressure to make this happen. They underestimated Rep. Harris who is tough and honorable–qualities foreign to the Palins. This tawdry affair should sicken Alaskans who care about their State. We elected an individual with no moral compass, no education, no background, no experience, just a blinding need to be the most popular girl in school. “Cute” can only take you so far then the veneer starts to peel.
