WASILLA - A Palmer grand jury has indicted Diana Palin on burglary, theft and trespass charges related to three break-ins at a Wasilla home.

Palin, 35, is the half-sister of Todd Palin, Gov. Sarah Palin's husband.

Jailed at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility since Wasilla police arrested her April 2, Palin pleaded not guilty during a brief appearance in Palmer Superior Court this morning.

Police say she broke into a home on West Mill Site Circle owned by Theodore Turcott to steal cash. Turcott told investigators he'd lost nearly $2,600 in two prior burglaries, so when he saw an unfamiliar car pull into his driveway, he waited in a bathroom for Palin and confronted her after she headed straight for a cabinet where he kept his money, according to a police affidavit filed by Officer Jentry Crain. Palin's 4-year-old daughter came into the home as her mother was being detained by Turcott, who was armed, police and prosecutors say.

On April 2, police arrested Palin for that day's break-in and also for a burglary March 31 in which nearly $400 was taken from Turcott's home.

3. What day was April 2nd?

Take your kid to Breaking and Entering day? Family values. I guess if Sarah could take her kids on the politcal train why not her SIL. :rofl:

[RamboLiberal]

9. Lovely - taking your kid to a B&E

About as wacky as that guy who held up a convenience store with his kid in tow. Diana Palin is lucky the homeowner didn't blow her away as well since he was armed. :rofl:

[Politicalboi]

13. Yes she is damn lucky

She or her kid didn't get shot.

[nc4bo]

4. And just think - ONE heartbeat away from the Presidency..

That's how close this thieving, lying, assbackwards, sorry sack of crap family came to the most powerful office in the country.

I feel sick :puke:

[Seeking Serenity]

10. Oh, yes. Because we all KNOW that having a half-sister-in-law like that

is SO-O-O-O indicative of Sarah Palin's character.

And we all know that guilt-by-relation-by-marriage is so convicting.

Hate is not a cool thing. Give it up, people.

[Binka]

17. Get Lost

Your hate meme died months ago. Sorry pathetic little sock puppet.

7. So dumb. Going after the same house three times?

Out of the gene pool with her

8. dear idiot

when someone steals $2200 from a cabinet, PUT YOUR MONEY IN A DIFFERENT PLACE AFTERWARDS.

under the mattress, bury it in a coffee can, or hell, try a bank! i mean a savings and loan. no, a CREDIT UNION!

[Faygo Kid]

12. The Palins are the gift that keeps on giving.

They will never stop being an embarrassment. They aren't capable of it.

[SkyDaddy7]

16. I thought families like that were limited to the south...

Just kidding! I live in the deep south and the Palin's remind me a lot of folks I know.

[JeanGrey]

15. Who cares. OFF limits

[Binka]

18. Oh Really? Off Limits? Says Who? You?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Your slip is showing Jean.

[JeanGrey]

19. Yes. I'm sure you'll enjoy it when the families of Obama

and Biden are drug through the mud?

[KansDem]

21. I don't recall Obama and Biden holding their families up as stellar examples of family values...

Remember Party of Family Values™ and Party of Personal Responsibility™? Remember how Sarah dragged her kids with her and Todd wherever they went on the campaign trail? Remember the huge emphasis placed on abstinence-only education by Sarah?

But then again, maybe Sarah and her family doesn't deserve full criticism for their gross hypocrisy. Perhaps the Repub Party and Media deserve just as much criticism as they were just as culpable in creating this family of phonies.

Yeah, I don't mind hypocrites being dragged through the mud. Why should you?

edited for spelling...

[JeanGrey]

27. Neither do I recall Sarah doing that. Her kids were simply

with her. Can you give me a quote where she spread her arms towards them and said "my children are stellar examples of what you should look for?"

[JeanGrey]

38. So what? Involving families are part of campaigning.

EVERYONE does it.

[Dappleganger]

24. People who live in glass houses, yada yada yada. nt

[JeanGrey]

28. I just think that when OUR guys families are trashed we won't

have a word to say about it considering how we have trashed others. I still remember the HORRIBLE way Chelsea Clinton was treated - how people called her a dog, the ugliest child ever, and even worse. It was wrong then and this is wrong now.

It is especially appalling when people start insinuating that someone's child isn't theirs or talking about any decisions they make regarding when they should even leave for the hospital.

This isn't the progressive way in my book.

[JI7]

33. we haven't trashed anyone, they are the ones commiting crimes and trashing other people's lives

[DatManFromNawlins]

35. Okay then

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090411/wl_uk_afp/britainuspoliticsimmigrationobama

Obama's half-brother denied a visa to Britain because he falsified documents and was accused of a sex crime against a minor.

Is he his half-brother's keeper? Is Todd Palin his half-sister's keeper?

I'm trying really hard to see what the actions of an adult sibling have to do with the character of the other sibling.

[JeanGrey]

37. Yes we are. All over these boards. And her children

aren't committing any "crimes".

[snooper2]

22. JeanGrey's slip has been showing for many months...

nt

[JeanGrey]

29. Did you think that one up all by yourself?

[bowens43]

20. Off limits? Hardly.

anything and everything that we can get should be used to ensure that that lunatic never sets foot in the oval office.

[JeanGrey]

30. You will simply cause her to be kept in the spotlight.

I want her to just GO AWAY and talking about her incessantly won't do that. I've even had friends who started out hating her now feeling sorry for her - "witch hunt".

There is more talk about her than the Octomom and that is hard to do.

[JI7]

32. she wants to be President , if/when she decides not to run, that's when the talk will end

[JeanGrey]

36. Suit yourself.

[TEmperorHasNoClothes]

23. that family has risen the term "trailer trash" to a new level

I have nothing against people who live in trailers or trailers and I certainly don't think that all people who live in trailers are trash. In fact, most of the people who fall into the trailer trash probably live elsewhere. I would use the term "poor white trash" but people might say that was unfair to poor people or racists towards whites (I am white). Whatever the term, the Palin family and extended family seems like a poorly written sitcom that would be trashed by critics for being unrealistic and too over the top.

[Dulcinea]

25. A reality show in the making!

No Hollywood scriptwriter could make this up. Truth really is stranger than fiction!

[jojoloco]

34. There go Diana Palin's presidential aspirations n/t

[goforit]

39. White trash = White trash

[Psephos]

40. Obama's half-brother isn't doing the family name proud, either - food for thought

I'd rather judge each person on their own...seems more in line with thinking that's found on the left side of the divide. :)
