This is not a story touting the National Enquirer story about Sarah Palin and her family life. It is about the sudden move by Todd Palin’s coworker, Scott Richter, to seal the records of his divorce. It is also about how the record of Richter’s emergency motion are, oddly, no longer available on the internet. Enquiring minds want to know.

This is not a story about how Ted Stevens’ innertube broke and thus we can’t get to some court records because of it. No, and it is not because of some kind of incompetence in the Alaska internet infrastructure. Indeed, there’s a whiff of suggestion here that the court internets in Alaska are quite competent, and that they are showing “Service Unavailable” for a reason.

I have not talked about this story though I’ve known of it for a couple days. Frankly, I don’t respect the National Enquirer, and they are at the heart of the story. Evidently, they are reporting that Sarah Palin had had an affair with a coworker of her husband Todd some time back. I do not know anything about the veracity of that report one way or another, and I find it irresponsible to repeat their claims, especially since there is no mention of the affair on the National Enquirer web site. But the McCain is taking the report seriously, and are threatening a lawsuit, though they would have no standing in a court of law, of course.
