Breaking News Today – A new report and scandal about the Sarah Palin family.  It really does make you wonder what kind of parenting has been going on in that house.
National Enquirer Reports – Also, after the jump – Track Palin didn’t live with his parents in 2006.  He lived in Michigan.  Why don’t the Palin teen children live in their own home? PALIN FAMILY SHOCKERS: WHAT SARAH’S REALLY HIDING! The NATIONAL ENQUIRER’S exclusive ongoing investigation of GOP VP Nom Sarah ‘Barracuda’ Palin’s goes far beyond a mere teen pregnancy crisis this week!  The Enquirer’s team of reporters has combed the Alaskan wilderness to discover the hidden truth about Gov. Palin’s family, which has become a central part of political identity.   The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that Sarah’s oldest son, Track, was addicted to the power drug OxyContin for nearly the past two years, snorting it, eating it, smoking it and even injecting it. And as Track, 19, heads to Iraq as part of the U.S. armed forces, Sarah and her husband Todd were powerless to stop his wild antics, detailed in the new issue of The ENQUIRER, which goes on sale today.  THE ENQUIRER also has exclusive details about Track’s use of other drugs, including cocaine, and his involvement in a notorious local vandalism incident. “I’ve partied with him (Track) for years,” a source disclosed.  “I’ve seen him snort cocaine, snort and smoke OxyContin, drink booze and smoke weed.”  The source also divulged the girls would do anything for Track and he’d use his local celebrity to manipulate other guys “to get them to steal things he wanted.”   “He finally did what a lot of troubled kids here do,” the source divulged. “You join the military.” And as Gov. Palin has billed the state of Alaska for various expenses related to her children, as reported by The Washington Post, The ENQUIRER’s investigation reveals that she was so incensed by 17-year-old Bristol’s pregnancy that she banished her daughter from the house. Another family friend revealed pre-prego Bristol was as much of a hard partier as Track was.   “Bristol was a huge stoner and drinker.  I’ve seen her smoke pot and get drunk and make out with so many guys. All the guys would brag that the just made out with Bristol.”  When Sarah found out the teen was pregnant by high schooler Levi Johnston, she was actually banished from the house.  As part of the cover-up, Palin quickly transferred Bristol to another high school and made her move in with Sarah’s sister Heather 25 miles away!  And the ENQUIRER also learned that Levi Johnston, the baby mamma’s future wedded dada, who was glad handed by John McCain at the GOP Convention, isn’t too happy about his impending shotgun nups either.  “Levi got dragged out of the house to go to Minnesota,” Levi’s friend told The ENQUIRER.  “Levi realizes he’s stuck being with Bristol because her mom is running for Vice President.”   The friend also confided that both Bristol and Levi “broke up a few times and they definitely messed around with other people.”   Meanwhile, as members of the Palin family’s war viciously over “Trooper-Gate” and claims of Sarah’s extramarital affair have turned the political race into a chaotic arena of threats, denials and vicious attacks by political black ops, The ENQUIRER has discovered shocking new details about the red-hot affair scandal!

After the jump – Track Palin didn’t live with his parents in 2006.  He lived in Michigan.  Why don’t the Palin teen children live in their own home?

We’ve all wondered how you raise so many kids while you’re governor.  Well, we know that Bristol didn’t live at home for some period of time and now it turns out that Track Palin, Sarah’s teenage son, didn’t either.  Here is a newspaper report:

PORTAGE, MI — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who Sen. John McCain has chosen as his vice presidential running mate, has Portage ties.

Her son, Track, lived with the Holmes family and attended Portage Central High School for several months of his senior year in 2006.

“He was with us to play AAA Hockey on the same team as our son, Dan,” said Dave Holmes, 52. “It’s a very competitive level of hockey. By the time the boys get there, they’ve typically all been playing since they were about 5 years old.”

Holmes said Track had played previously for the Alaska All-Stars but that he was attracted to the Midwest because it is a hotbed for exposure to scouts for college hockey teams. So he came to Michigan to play for a Twin Star Ice Arena team, then known as nXi Hockey and is now called S2 Hockey.

“He needed a host family and we were happy to do it,” Holmes said. “Sarah was running for governor when Track came to us in September of 2006, and she got elected that November.”

During the season, the Holmes family and the Palin family developed a long-distance bond.

“The moms talked on the phone quite a bit about the boys,” Holmes said, explaining how the Alaska governor got updates on her son’s progress from his wife, Janine, 51.

The two families also spent much time together at a four-day hockey tournament in Dallas during the course of the 2006-07 hockey season.

“He was an exceptional young man with a very nice family,” Holmes said. “The boys got along well. Track lived here until hockey season ended in March of 2007, and then he went home to graduate from his own school in Wasilla.”

And although the sons have gone their separate ways since high school graduation — with Track entering the U.S. Army and Dan beginning classes this week as a freshman at Michigan State University — Dave Holmes and Palin’s husband, Todd, remain in friendly contact.

“I’ve kept in contact with Todd off and on since then,” Holmes said. “We last talked on the phone in June.”

Janine Holmes said she was surprised about this week’s announcement.

“We knew she was in the running but thought it was a long shot,” she said. “We were surprised and excited for their family.”
