And here we'd figured his mom was like Blythe Danner and Julie Andrews combined.As approximately 15 bajillion tipsters have excitedly emailed us, Sarah Palin’s daughter’s soon-to-be-baby-daddy’s mom has been arrested for something having to do with drugs. On the one hand, this is totally non-news, because trashy white ladies get arrested every day for — well, whatever Sherry Johnston was arrested for, nobody’s saying. Dealing pot? Cooking meth? Secretly growing a glorious garden of opium poppies in her back yard in scenic Wasilla, home to the world’s largest collection of dumpsters and gravel pits?

Troopers served the warrant at Johnston’s home at the “conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation,” said a statement issued Thursday by the troopers as part of the normal daily summary of activity around the state.

Troopers charged Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance — generally manufacturing or delivering drugs — as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession.

On the other hand, it is kind of amazing and spectacular that this woman could have been the Vice President’s daughter’s mother in law, assuming Bristol and Levi ever get married, which really, at this point why bother?

The most important question: Are any of these people really any worse than Roger Clinton, or Hillary’s terrible sleazy brothers? No. The only difference is that they are more fertile.

They should raffle off the opportunity to spend Christmas with that brood, to pay her bail. I’d bid on it.

Baconcat December 19, 2008 at 10:46 am

Troopers in Alaska don’t care about weed, so I’m guessing a nosy neighbor found 100 sudafed boxes in the trash and called 911. She’s cooking speed. Mugshots will tell all.

Deepthroat December 19, 2008 at 10:48 am

i think i would have been more shocked if this hadn’t eventually come to light.

TGY December 19, 2008 at 10:49 am

Haha, silly Wonkette. Poppies don’t grow in Alaska, since they just freeze solid in May. Also, it’s tough to break the permafrost. No, you’d need a greenhouse or something.

El Bombastico December 19, 2008 at 10:49 am

The Real America! I’m sure she is just selling meth because she has terminal lung cancer and wants to provide a good life for her kids when she’s gone.

I guess she was just trying to make sure the kids at the baby shower REALLY enjoyed themselves…

Is there anything else these people won’t attempt to try in order to distract us from the fact that their babies don’t seem to get born the regular way?

This should put an end to the silly comparisons between Sarah Palin and Caroline Kennedy. No one in the Kennedy family would ever do drugs.

Look, her son was Mb>THIS CLOSE to having a sweet gig hanging out in the Naval Observatory. He was going to help get his whole family cushy government jobs. But when is mother-in-law tanked the election by opening her mouth, the family was left to find new ways to raise money, and folks in Wasilla need their drugs. Market economy folks, you sell what the people are buying.. Capitalism WORKS!!

gurukalehuru December 19, 2008 at 11:12 am

It a shame, because the area around it is beautiful.

I would urge the Wasilla prosecuter to give her a walk if she will testify that she was doing this as under contract from Levi’s future mother-in-law, who is paying off her clothing bill.

TeddyS December 19, 2008 at 11:37 am

If meth Granny Sherry can make bail, she can still be in the front row at the wedding of her fuckin’ redneck high school dropout teenaged son to that goofy chick he knocked up because Granny Sarah wouldn’t tell her about birth control. So the wedding photo will also include baby Tree. A heart-warming Christmas story about forgivness, family love and values.

And up from the left came a crusty old dude

Well the first thing you know, Sarah’s runnin’ for V.P.

Spent two hundred grand on clothes, but they’re fuckin’ hillbillies.

Dear Sarah Palin,

Happy Holidays!!

Please don’t think that I have acceded to the War on Christmas.

No way.

I would love to wish you a “Merry Christmas!,” but I know that First Dude Todd is like one-1024th Inuit, so I felt TOLERANT enough to make sure that his people are included in my holiday greeting. Somehow, “Merry Christmas and Happy Walrus Tusk Day” sounds a little unwieldy, dontcha think??

You betcha!

I am so happy to hear about your daughter’s soon-to-be little bundle of joy (bastard).

You’ll have to forgive me; I can’t remember your daughter’s name (the pregnant one).

I know it’s a British place name.

Ramsey?
No.

Shrewsbury?
No, that’s your middle name, isn’t it?

Stratford-upon-Avon?
No, that’s much too literate for Wasilla.

Willie-in-the-Bum?
Oh wait, that’s not a place name… Isn’t that the nickname of your profligate third cousin who lives in (does) the Castro?

BRISTOL!

Anyway…

Bristol’s baby’s daddy’s momma’s (BBDM) got some issues, dontcha think?

You betcha!

As Cousin Willie-in-the-Bum might say:
“Merry ChrithMETH!!”

(Not to get too far off topic from Happy Walrus Tusk Day, but this meth stuff might explain the fire at the church – Just a chemical thought)

So…

Please don’t let BBDM’s six (6) felony drug charges bring down your Christmas or Tusk Day or whateverthehell it is you people celebrate in Alaska.

I figure that as long as you, as governor, arrange a photo-op and put the newborn bastard in a manger with some turkey beheadings in the background, EVERYTHING will be just fine.

Dontcha think?

You betcha!

Sincerely yours,
DinDC (Another Profligate Homosexual)
