Many took to social media to gloat over the news that Todd Palin filed for divorce from his wife, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, last week.
Todd, 55, cited “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife” in court documents filed Friday, which used initials instead of full names.
Todd’s lawyer has asked the court for the divorce to remain confidential going forward.
Sarah, also 55, was elected governor of Alaska in 2006 and resigned in 2009.
Those expressing joy over the news poked fun at her failed vice presidential bid with former Arizona Sen. John McCain in 2008 or said it was ironic given her support of traditional family values.
All I have to say about Sarah Palin is a decade ago she was a conservative superstar and now she is a political nobody toiling in obscurity who only makes the news because her family is a circus and goddammit I hope this is what the future holds for you know who.

The thing about Sarah Palin and her husband getting divorced is that these people have zero qualms w/ lecturing others on their private lives and calling our LGBTQ families unhealthy. So, while divorce is usually not a reason for mocking, my schadenfreude is high today.

At very least Palin did America the favor of resigning, making it obvious that the business of actually governing was beyond her interest or abilities. Trump will be doing us no such favors.

Good news, ladies! Sarah Palin’s husband Todd has filed for divorce. This could be your big chance to hook this prize package before some other lucky gal snatches him up — but you’ll have to move fast!
