The National Enquirer is claiming, the book "The Rogue: Searching For The Real Sarah Palin" states, former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, slept with NBA basketball player, Glen Rice in 1987. You know, when I first read that tonight, I thought it said Glenn Beck (from Fox News) and didn't bat an eyelash. But that's what happens when I'm up too late writing for your amusement.
Then I read it again and it dawned on me - Glen Rice - the former Miami Heat star known as "G-Money" (brows raised). Rice allegedly confirmed the story. Never saw that one coming, did you. I thought you guys said she was a racist. So explain this one (LOL).
Sarah Palin. Ooh girl, they are airing out all your business in that book!
A funny story about Rice. My family and I met him in the mid 1990s at a place in Miami called CocoWalk (also known as the Grove). He was a nice guy. I asked him to sign an autograph for my little godbrother (about age 6 at the time), who my mother had begun to brainwash with sports and ESPN from an early age (he now plays college football).
Rice was nice, polite, smiled and signed the autograph. My mom was the one that spotted him, then my godbrother. My mom loves sports (as do I). She can name just about every major NFL and NBA player, but ask her what her Social Security number is in business matters and she will genuinely draw a blank for a few seconds and look at me saying, "What is it again?" But I digress...
Glen Rice and former wife Cristy Rice
Rice's then girlfriend, who later became his wife, wasn't that sweet, though. She wasn't happy he was signing the autograph and gave us a look. Then, when two other people saw him and crossed the street to ask for his autograph as well, she snapped, "One more and that's it!" While I'm thinking, they want his autograph, not yours. Really, who begrudges a little kid an autograph. She made a bad impression on my family and the other two strangers that asked for his autograph.
Later I found out, she had previously dated a friend of my mom's from her job (where they worked with disabled people) whose dad was a judge. He was a mild-mannered person, but she was disrespectful to him and cheated on him as well. Old habits die hard. Imagine my faux surprise when years later I read about her being not so nice again and cheating on Rice with a man she hid in the closet of his house, which led to a confrontation that ended up in the press. Here's hoping she changes her ways, as all that unpleasantness is unnecessary in life.
