National Enquirer: "Breaking News" about Todd Palin's Family

[Tesibria]

Not putting in "Breaking News" considering the source, but ... they do have court documents they say back up the allegations:

, National Enquirer, Sept. 17, 2008.

Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin has hushed up a series of scandals including her own brother-in-law's shocking criminal past!

After the Alaska governor was named John McCain's running mate, she disclosed her husband Todd had been arrested for drunk driving in 1986 - but not that his brother James Palin was involved in a devastating hit-and-run that inflicted multiple injuries on a female pedestrian.

Court papers obtained by The ENQUIRER show that James Palin, Sarah's brother-in-law, was busted as a 20-year-old on Feb. 15, 1989, in his Dillingham, Alaska, hometown - after a major drinking binge.

According to official records: James, in a drunken stupor, slammed into a woman with his vehicle, stopped, pulled her out from underneath it - and then callously sped away, leaving her injured on the side of the road like Alaskan road-kill!

***
According to court documents obtained by The ENQUIRER¸ James was also involved in other legal battles.
***
In addition to James' legal woes, The ENQUIRER learned other members of Todd Palin's family have been tromping through the Alaska court system:

Blanche Kallstrom, Todd's mother, sued the U.S. government for negligence and took the suit all the way to the Alaska Supreme Court - which ultimately ruled against her.

8. She sued for emotional distress caused by inadvertantly serving a child

a caustic agent?

Do I understand that correctly?

I would be pretty upset if I accidentally poisoned a child and I would feel real shitty for the rest of my life - but I don't think it is grounds for a lawsuit.
