Sarah Palin's Wedding Ring Goes AWOL

Thursday, October 9, 2008

Sarah Palin's been spotted on the campaign trail without her wedding ring. Is there trouble on the Alaskan homefront?

In a photo taken of V.P. candidate Sarah Palin yesterday in Allentown, P.A.,  two things are a mystery -- why she has a bandage on her hand and where is that wedding ring? It's showed up in every picture since she got tapped by John McCain for his V.P. Now it just seemed to disappear!

No one would be the bit surprised if her candidacy is testing her marriage to her snowmobiling champ hubby Todd. How's this for stress: You're a mayor, a mother of five (including an infant with Down Syndrome), running for the second highest position in the land, you have a pregnant teen daughter and -- the icing on the cake -- your hubby's been called to testifying in the so-called "Troopergate" scandal. Seriously. Working on her marriage is probably the LAST thing on her mind. (For the record, we called the McCain campaign to ask about the ring and the bandage -- we haven't heard back.)

Or maybe it's just the Veep candidate thing to do? Joe Biden doesn't wear one either -- and it's not clear he ever did.

So why did Palin stop wearing hers?

GIVE HER A BREAK! I’m an Obama/Biden supporter, but maybe she just forgot it, or had an itch, was getting it cleaned or the diamond is lose??? Give it a rest, please!

i wouldn’t be surprised if she ditches her husband after she gets elected— which she WILL… she’s the ultimate maverick.

I just goggled a ton of Palin (both Sarah & Todd) pics & there’s not a wedding ring in sight. I find this very curious for a person who espouses family values. I know that if Obama didn’t wear a wedding ring, it would be made into a big deal Why isn’t anyone asking about this????

Bandage: she fell jogging. Reminds me of when Bush got road-Rash on his face from falling off that scooter.

not important. My wife and I occasionally don’t wear our rings either. This is as stupid as the flag pin issue.

i believe it IS an issue. How are we to trust a woman who touts ‘family values’ who has one kid knocked-up and now is walking around without a wedding ring. Practice what you preach Sarah.

Dear “she’s a phony”, My husband’s religion prohibits wedding rings… in 9 years of marriage we’ve never worn them and we’ve got three children and are madly in love. If a ring is the only symbol of your love and commitment to one another maybe you should check your priorities.

Oh for Pete’s sake, maybe she left it on the night table by mistake. Lot of people don’t wear their rings to bed. On occasion I have forgotton to mine on in the morning, and it sure doesn’t mean that there’s a problem. Give the woman a break!

Goodness maybe she is on her period and her hands are swollen. Maybe she lost weight and it is too small? Goodness just because one isn’t wearing a wedding ring doesn’t mean they have thrown their family values out the window. It isn’t like she took it off and is out trolling for men.

You are all right to an extent - she’s running for repbublican VP and her husband just cooperated with the troopergate issue in Alaska. So PMS swelling aside - if she forgot it - someone should have gotten it to her because of this escallating inquiry. And bt the way, I am democtate. So we will see…

Uh to everyone rushing to defend her. I think we get the picture: there is ANOTHER possible conclusion we can reach with the absence of her ring. At the same time, it can’t really be ruled out that there are marital problems. I don’t really think anything of the bandage, but as the american public, when she’s walking from the plane to the RV or limo. She can have it off when she’s alone for parts of the day. Hands don’t look swollen and anyway if she were on her period I wouldn’t really want to know about it. So maybe they’re having marital disputes? At least admit it’s possible

I never wear my wedding ring. I hate wearing it and I’m happily married. My husband doesn’t wear his alot of the time either. No big deal. If it take a ring to symbolize that your married than what’s that say about your marriage?

Relax, people! I watched her speech in Ohio last night, and she was wearing it. Granted, she looked very slim, and it nearly fell off her finger when she patted someone on the back. It could be that the she’s losing weight or her fingers get smaller with the seasonal weather changes. It happens to a lot of people.

First off, those of you who are faulting her family values because her teenage daughter is pregnant need to get a reality check. My parents were born back when abstinence was preached from the hilltops and they preached it to me from an early age. However, I got pregnant when I was 17. Let me tell you people something. The last thing I was thinking about when I was having sex is my parents. So don’t fault Sarah Palin for her daughter’s mistake. Now onto the ring “issue.” Give me a break. So what, her ring went “AWOL.” Who cares!?! It is not an important issue!!! Those of you who are married and use the ring as an indicator of the status of marital bliss need to get a life. I was married once for 3 1/2 long miserable years. I wore my ring everyday until we were divorced. So much for a ring indicating marital bliss. Now I have been living with the same person for 13 years and we have been a couple for 16 years. We have no plans to get married because the only thing a marriage certificate does these days is give the couple the right to hold each other off on their taxes. People can designate whomever they want as their Power of Attorney and their Medical Power of Attorney. You can put whomever you want on your bank accounts and credit card accounts. A little piece of paper is not going to make me love someone more or less. Yes, I could use another tax deduction since I don’t own anything but I’m not going to marry someone just for the tax deduction. And guess what, we are committed to each other and we don’t need a piece of metal to remind us of how we feel about each other.

What is this, TMZ….no TMZ actually does a bit more research. I’m unsubscribing to this junk. All the look how old so and so is, and OMG Sarah doesn’t have a ring on!!! What are we, 12? Children act more forgiving and civilized than this.

I am so ready to unsubscribe to this group! Who gives a sh*t? I am one of those women — my fingers swell if I eat one ounce of salt. That could be the issue. Maybe her DH is getting her a new one, maybe it needs to be fixed, maybe it fell down the drain………. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY HATERS ON THIS STINKING SITE!?!? GET OVER THE HIGH SCHOOL CRAP AND JOIN THE ADULT WORLD WHERE REAL PEOPLE DEAL WITH REAL ISSUES AND WE HAVE TO (AT LEAST PRETEND) TO BE ADULTS AND TO LIVE REAL LIVES. QUIT ATTACKING OTHERS BECAUSE YOU ARE JEALOUS! DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE WITH YOUR OWN LIFE INSTEAD OF TEARING DOWN SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER! Isn’t this the very same thing we teach our small children so they can be kind to each other and make wise choices? Why can’t we model the same behavior ourselves? Uggghhhhhhh! :o(

I have been getting this newsletter for a coupe of months, but it appears to me that there is not much good info given. After reading some of this latest crap, I agree with the last 2 comments. I AM unsubscribing as this is worthless doodle & I do not want it junking up my mailbox. Good Bye!
