Wasilla, Alaska -- 15 September 2008 -- The big question banging around this far-north town over the weekend was, who let the docs out? Specifically, the documents containing graphic images of swinger parties circa 1998 purporting to show Sarah Palin, her husband Todd, and an older man who resembles Senator Ted Stevens.  Judging by the format of the file, which contains field notes and photographs, the Alaska Bureau of Investigation was keeping a close eye on Stevens. 

People who have seen the entire folder stated that the sex parties were not the central focus of the investigation, but rather bribes and kick-backs related to construction projects and their contractors.  In a bizarre twist, one of the prime contractors associated with the alleged scheme was Halliburton, Vice President Dick Cheney's former firm. The Vice President's office refused to comment for this report.

When shown the leaked documents and photographs, Barack Obama's campaign staff had no comment. Off the record, one Obama staffer said, "Nice butt!"

McCain's campaign staff issued a brief statement. "Sarah and Todd Palin have a solid, committed relationship.  What they do behind closed doors isn't anybody's business."  McCain himself would not comment on the photos or Senator Stevens' alleged corruption.
