Media, Morality, and the Coverup of the Todd Palin Shailey Tripp Sex Scandal
Boys Will Be Boys: Media, Morality and the Cover-up of the Todd Palin Shailey Tripp Sex Scandal is the true story of how Shailey Tripp, a young single mother of two special needs children became sexually involved with Todd Palin, husband of former Alaska Governor and 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin. This book explains the many factors that culminated in Shailey becoming not only the mistress of " Alaska's First Dude" but also a prostitute working for him which ultimately resulted in Shailey being arrested in March of 2010. However, the story doesn't end there. After they received an anonymous email, The National Enquirer contacted Shailey regarding her relationship with Todd Palin and even ran a couple of stories about her liaison with him with several follow-up interviews scheduled. All that changed, when at the behest of the Palin's lawyers, the Anchorage Police Department issued a press release which stated that they had found no evidence of Todd's involvement with Shailey. From that point on, Shailey was unable to get any media, with the exception of some internet bloggers, to tell her side of things despite the fact that she had proof of her truthfulness and had passed polygraph examinations. Boys Will Be Boys tells the whole story from Shailey's viewpoint and includes the evidence. A true expose of how the media and even law enforcement agencies kowtow to the wealthy, politically powerful people, Boys Will Be Boys: Media, Morality and the Cover-up of the Todd Palin Shailey Tripp Sex Scandal is a must read.

Being an Alaskan I was intrigued by this and couldn't say no when a friend bought it for us to read together. Sadly, this was a disappointment.
The writing is choppy, repetitive and frustrating to read. For someone who proclaims to be so high achieving and educated I was surprised by how crudely put together this is...
