Conservative political personality Sarah Palin lived it up before entering the political arena, enjoying a fling with former NBA star Glen Rice and even snorting cocaine off an oil drum.

That's according to juicy details from author Joe McGinniss’ upcoming book “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin” which were spilled to the National Enquirer. Palin allegedly hooked up with Rice before settling with her current husband Todd, but the book will claim she has had other more recent affairs too.

It's tempting to dismiss these claims as baseless tabloid rumors. However, the National Enquirer's reporting was correct when it outed another Presidential wannabe, John Edwards, for fathering a love child with his mistress.

Is this the reason Palin has not declared her candidacy for President yet? Share your thoughts in our comments section.
