Sarah Palin’s Daughter Bristol Is Five Months Pregnant; Andrew Sullivan Still Wants Proof Sarah Palin’s Four-Month Old Child Is Hers
Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter, is five months pregnant. She will keep the baby and marry the father. Allahpundit says:
It shouldn’t hurt Palin but it will, because like I said in my pessimism post on Friday, any sort of embarrassment that she brings to the campaign will be used by the media to push the Dan Quayle/disastrous gamble meme, whether or not the embarrassment’s her own fault or not. (They’ll spin it as a comment on McCain’s “judgment” in picking her.) The left, normally all for teen sex, will naturally use it as an excuse to call her daughter a whore in the guise of criticizing Palin herself for her position on abstinence-only education, which is why I’m thinking maybe McCain really did know about it: Per KP’s analysis, the nastier and more personal the left gets, the greater the risk of a backlash that benefits Palin.
Read all of Allah’s post. Updates indicate that evangelicals are backing her.
You might think this, together with pictures of Sarah Palin clearly pregnant several months ago, would cause Andrew Sullivan to give up the ghost on the idiot rumors that Sarah Palin’s four-month-old is really Bristol’s. You would, of course, be wrong:
Now all we need is confirmation from the obstetrician who delivered Sarah’s baby, Trig.
Why the f[vowel deleted]ck do we need that?!?! She’s five months pregnant, and the baby is four months old.
Someone explain to Andrew how this stuff works, will you?
I don’t read this guy regularly; I only kept up with his site over the last few days. Is he always this big of a jackass?
Keep pushing this, Andrew. You’re only helping us.
Meanwhile, a reader writes:
Since you are in correspondence with [Sullivan], can you ask him why this request had to be made publicly, airing this theory as plausible and putting it out to tens of thousands of people, rather than him simply writing the McCain people privately?
Does he not know any emails of anyone at the McCain camp? Couldn’t get one from someone?
Does he believe that this is the sort of scurrilous rumor that can and should be peddled to the greatest audience possible in advance of finding any actual facts that might support it?
The reader adds, in a follow-up e-mail:
Also ask: that if he thinks his handling of this rumor should set the standard for how we on the right deal with what we might hear about Obama’s older daughter.
Speaking of which, how would Obama handle his daughter getting pregnant? Michelle Malkin reminds us: he would have his daughter abort the child, not wanting her to be “punished.” Michelle says: “Bristol Palin chooses life. Now leave her alone.” Perfectly said.
Meanwhile, this Kirsten Powers piece on Palin is brilliant from start to finish. It perfectly encapsulates my feelings — every word of it:
She has energized a gloomy Republican Party in a way that none of the other picks – Tom Ridge, Joe Lieberman, Tim Pawlenty or Mitt Romney – would have. The McCain ticket desperately needed energy. The excitement for Palin is palpable.
Negatives? Well, there’s a scandal involving the firing of her brother-in-law from the state troopers. The national news media has found this far more fascinating than it ever did Obama’s dealings with the slumlord Tony Rezko. Rezko was a blip for Obama; Palin’s scandal will become a test of her integrity.
What of the claim that McCain’s pick undermines his assertion that experience is what matters in a president?
Hmm: Palin isn’t running for president; she’s running for vice president. Last time I checked, John McCain isn’t dying. And if experience is your worry, there’s plenty to worry about on the opposing ticket if, God forbid, something happens to Joe Biden.
Dems have been comparing Palin to Joe Biden and laughing derisively at the contrast. But for some reason, the comparison between Obama and McCain – who are light years apart in terms of experience – doesn’t incite the same level of concern or condescension.
Weird, that.
Vagina Watch continues at the Daily Dish. Curious that.
And Obama says leave the families out of it.
daleyrocks (d9ec17) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:00 pmPatterico, you just don’t understand the deviousness of the Republican mind. Today’s announcement is almost true; Bristol is pregnant, but only four months, not five. She got pregnant immediately after giving birth to Trig. And that photo from 2006 that shows her with a fat belly? She was pregnant then too. The girl is a regular baby machine; who knows how many times she’s been pregnant, and what happened to those babies? It’s all a plot to distract attention from the truth, just like Dick Cheney forged the TANG documents and had them leaked to Dan Rather so as to discredit the completely factual rumours about his going AWOL.

Milhouse (89df7f) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:06 pm“Hmm: Palin isn’t running for president; she’s running for vice president.”
Shhh! Don’t tell this to the lefties. I’m thoroughly enjoying watching them argue that Obama “is too” just as experienced as Palin, the small town mayor.
Meanwhile…, McCain pockets his winnings and moves on to the next game.
belloscm (36d6f2) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:09 pmSarah Palin has littered the state of Alaska with the bodies of politicians who underestimated her. Joe Biden hasn’t a chance. And by the way, the McCain people knew about the pregnancy.
Mike K (2cf494) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:11 pmOne would think that the revelation that the photo that the dKos diarist was pointing to as PROOF! that the switcheroo had taken place was taken at least sixteen months before the baby was born would have the idiots slinking off into the shadows. Unsurprisingly, one would be wrong.
M. Scott Eiland (a16843) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:13 pmRove did not make Kerry say, “I voted for it before I voted against it.”
Rove did not create the Dan Rather Texas National Guard suicide, nor did he create these insulting stories about Palin.
One does not really need an offense in soccer if the other side consistently scores own goals.
jim2 (0e823c) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:13 pmI think that Andrew is in the throws of AIDS dementia. But I could be wrong. All we need is confirmation from his physician to know for sure.
Surely, he couldn’t object to such an invasion of medical confidentiality, now could he?
Kevin Murphy (0b2493) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:14 pmdaleyrocks – this is not the Andrew Sullivan that Obama kept at arm’s length, despite the daily delivery of roses and chocolates.
Besides, Sullivan isn’t even on the campaign staff (officially, at least), so how can Commander Obama control Sullivan when he’s outside the inner circle, which, he also can’t seem to control.
At least we can all feel secure in Obama’s long history of fighting corruption in Chicago. That place is squeaky clean now. Just ask any of Obama’s friends.
Apogee (366e8b) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:17 pmM. Scott Eiland, see my earlier comment. Bristol has been pregnant at least three times, and who knows how many more? I know this because it’s physically possible, and therefore must be so. (Of course it’s also physically possible for Andrew Sullivan to be the father, so I suppose that’s true too. And it’s also possible that McCain killed Kennedy.)
Milhouse (89df7f) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:22 pmAs for the “firing of the state trooper ex”, you and Kristen Powers ought to get hold of a few facts.
1) Said trooper was not fired — the boss of the state troupers was fired for not being on board with reform.
2) Palin had damn good reason for wanting the jerk fired, and said jerk would have been fired from any police force that had any form of self-respect.
3) See Palin’s 2005 letter to state trooper review committee (PDF) regarding why the trooper should be disciplined.
4) One of Sarah’s reasons for running was to reform these idiots, too. The guy who got fired was standing in the way.
Kevin Murphy (0b2493) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:23 pmThe Palin women can obviously give birth to a baby and get pregnant all on the same moose hunt, all while dropping their taret, field dressing their kill, and making moose hot dogs for dinner.
The metrosexual “men” of the left are jealous and resentful now that they have had the opportunity to see what a real woman looks and acts like and are pissed off for putting up with the abuse of the vagina warriors of the left who have treated them as second class citizens or nonentities for years.
Remove the scales from your eyes bitches!
daleyrocks (d9ec17) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:24 pmI’m still hung-up on why Bill Clinton has never denied raping Juanita Broderick. What does Andrew Sullivan think?
Fritz (a2e65a) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:24 pmOne last thing: the politician that is pushing this “investigation” is the guy that came in second to Palin in the gubernatorial primary. The good old boys are not happy with Sarah for fighting their back-slapping, hard-drinking, wife-beating ways.
Kevin Murphy (0b2493) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:27 pmWell, it’s official: I’ve lost my last tiny shred of respect for Andrew Sullivan. Writer after writer shows the impossibility that Palin’s daughter had Trig, and this turdball still wants proof?!?
Sure, Andi. Right after you provide fully substantiated and notarized written proof that you’re not sodomizing 12-year old boys in DC restrooms.
Enjoy your trip to hell, Andi.
qdpsteve (dc65ab) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:36 pmSullivan has become the thing he fears most – a pussy.
Will Robinson (f349aa) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:36 pmYou might think this, together with pictures of Sarah Palin clearly pregnant several months ago, would cause Andrew Sullivan to give up the ghost on the idiot rumors that Sarah Palin’s four-month-old is really Bristol’s. You would, of course, be wrong:
Why the f[vowel deleted]ck do we need that?!?! She’s five months pregnant, and the baby is four months old.
To be fair, Andrew doesn’t have any real personal knowledge of how this sort of sex works.
JVW (d54fc4) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:38 pmGood one, Will.
Mike K (2cf494) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:39 pmProps to Obama for saying families should be off-limits and for saying he would fire anyone in his campaign who’s been trafficking in this stuff.
The Palins seems to be handling this with love and solicitude for their daughter. End of story.
Ktown Kate (d63e61) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:44 pmKate–
But of course he won’t fire anyone, and he’ll still converse with bloggers who’ve been pushing this.
Kevin Murphy (0b2493) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:47 pmSully is wacko; that’s been evident for some time.
The only real strike against Palin from my view is that she didn’t turn down federal funding for the “bridge to nowhere” — she was counting on it. Palin only cancelled the project when it became clear the Alaska congressional delegation was unlikely to be successful in getting the hoped-for $329 million.
This is in her press release announcing the cancellation. Emphasis mine:
“Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer,” said Governor Palin. “Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island,” Governor Palin added. “Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened.”
That’s a looooong way from the “Thanks, but no thanks,” mythology Palin is telling as a vice presidential candidate.
Bradley J. Fikes (0ea407) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:48 pmHere’s some personal information I’d like to see:
Sullivan’s financial statements. I’d love to see exactly who his ‘advertisers’ and ‘donors’ are, along with their political affiliation. How about his phone records, as well, with maybe some medical records thrown in for fun.
Then it can be printed on the web, with bright red lines between the ‘relevant’ parties.
And after that? Well, Andrew can go back to writing. The upside of this is that it would be unnecessary to check his site anymore. One could simply link to the DNC and read their talking points – no need for repetition.
Apogee (366e8b) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:49 pmSure Ktown Kate, Obama will fire anyone in the campaign who pushes this story, but the real test of his character will be if he publicly repudiates his nutroot, er Netroot, supporters over at Kos, Democratic Underground, TNR, the Atlantic, etc. who continue to push this story. A lot of us thought that John McCain was wrong when he upbraided the North Carolina GOP for running an anti-Obama ad that highlighted his links to Jeremiah Wright, but at least it showed that McCain will take on supporters that are unaffiliated with his campaign, not just hide behind the old pose of “if any of my people do it they’re gone but I can’t control those outside of my campaign.”
JVW (d54fc4) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:50 pmApogee, good ideas. I’d love to know who’s paying off Andi too.
In the meantime, someone in another thread (it may have been here at Patterico’s) suggested the best way to hash this out would be with an old-fashioned duel between Andi and Sarah’s husband, Todd Palin. I admit, I enjoy imagining it in the middle of the Mojave Desert:
REFEREE: Okay, it’s on. Twenty paces, people!
SULLIVAN: Uh, okay, fine whatever, but before I go, can I just say that in my posts I was only trying to–
TODD’s GUN: *POW* *POW*
qdpsteve (dc65ab) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:59 pm🙂
By the way, scroll down the main page. There’s a post I put up last night chock full o’ Palin links that somehow got unpublished.
Also, sorry for the hours-long comment (and individual post) outage. I’m working to learn how to fix that problem myself.
Patterico (f784c1) — 9/1/2008 @ 12:59 pmActually, Q, I think that Todd Palin would simply take Excitable Andy out for a long, long snow machine ride…and have a serious talk with him about manners in the Great Outdoors.
The thing with many commentators is that they are insulated from the targets of their bile. They suddenly get much quieter and politer and more reasoned when they have to, as my father puts it, cash the check their mouths just wrote.

roy (78d4a2) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:10 pmThe NYT now has this story up as the second most important on their online front page:
“Palin’s Teen Daughter is Pregnant.”
I’m thinking back to all the many times I’ve said, about one thing or another that I’ve said or done, “Well, I wouldn’t want it published on the front page of the NYT.” Why in the world do they think this is a legitimate banner headline?
m (f50f8a) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:11 pmI wonder if Cyrus Sanai knows Excitable Andy.
daleyrocks (d9ec17) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:14 pmOh that Andrew, so skilled with the diversion.
As I recall, that guy putting forth the rumor about being in the back of the limo with Obama, was actually covering up for Mr. Sullivan.
I demand proof from Mr. Sullivan, that he was not in fact the actual person performing that act.
PC14 (ec0516) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:18 pmPatterico:
When you say, in your post,
–where you name “Michelle” in such close compass after naming “Obama” and “Michelle Malkin” and, again, “he [Obama]”–I momentarily misread that “Michelle-without-last-name” as “Michelle [Obama]”: i.e., Barack says this, but Michelle says that. Just in case somebody else chances to read so sloppily, could you stick another “Malkin” in there to clarify which Michelle is meant? A little repetitive, but clearer.

Kensington (b6de37) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:19 pmSULLIVAN: Hey, where did everybody go? Why is it suddenly so hot? Who’s that guy with the pitchfork?
Andrew Sullivan is, and has been for four years, a piece of slime. He’s the ultimate example of the internet’s main effect on political discourse: sitting at a computer screen + politics = complete scumbag. He’s a complete nonentity off the internet so a public humiliation wouldn’t really do much. Sully needs someone to teach him some common decency, with the business end of a boot.
chaos (9c54c6) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:25 pmSullivan knows where he’s going to end up. He’s already used to being ass-stabbed with a pitchfork. 😉

We will not have to worry about his progeny, thankfully.
driver (56cdca) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:39 pmSo Andrew Sullivan now demands proof for a scandal he and his scrofulous Jacobin cohort on the Left fabricated? How do these people live with themselves? Having grown up in the sinistral side of politics I thought I’d seen every low that could be seen, but I’m now realizing the next two months will be vilely edifying in this respect. My only optimism is in the thought that the Left is destroying itself as we speak.
rrpjr (fb0748) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:40 pmWhat really worries me about Palin is her environmental policies (especially in regards to drilling in the ANWR). Given the state of our environment these days I think it is evermore important for us, as consumers to support ‘green businesses’ that benefit the environment. For example, Simple Stop stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.

JVW (d54fc4) — 9/1/2008 @ 1:47 pmHow come no one in the media, including so-called conservative blogs, is talking about how much of Biden’s brain was removed during his brain tumor surgeries? Shouldn’t the media be demanding to see x-rays or CAT scans?
And why is there no concern about what it would mean to have a recovering junkie like Obama as Commander-in-chief? Instead I’m supposed to give a damn about monogamous heterosexual relations of candidates’ relatives because they refuse to have an abortion? Funny how these “righty” blogs always fall for these leftist conspiracy diversions and go into defensive mode.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who had been hiding out in Africa, is back in the USA. Speaking at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Houston, yesterday, he delivered yet another quotation for the ages:
“This ordinary boy just might be the first president in the history of the United States to have a black woman sleeping at 1600 Pennsylvania, legally.”
— 1) Wright is simply insane. 2) He really does want to, at least subconsciously, sabotage Obama’s presidential run; perhaps to perpetuate the state of victimology . . . in which case #1 is also true.

Perfect Sense (9d1b08) — 9/1/2008 @ 2:18 pmTo be fair, Andrew doesn’t have any real personal knowledge of how this sort of sex works.
Probably not true. In his personal ad, he announced that he was soliciting “hot milky loads in my ass, in my mouth” from other men, preferably HIV-positive semen. Mr. Sullivan said that he was into one-on-one barebacking, orgies, group sex, gangbangs, and bi scenes.
Bisexual sex would mean at least one woman was involved. Therefore, Andrew “milky loads” Sullivan probably has witnessed some vaginal intercourse in his day.
It’s a shame about his HIV-induced dementia. He used to be such a good writer. Maybe he could try switching meds. If Sullivan has nothing to hide, he could release his medical records, and maybe we could help him to identify which of his drugs are damaging his mental functions.
Daryl Herbert (4ecd4c) — 9/1/2008 @ 2:18 pmClark at #42: I have no idea where you live–but there’s a good chance that it ain’t Alaska. And there’s an equally likely chance that you haven’t seen so much as a picture postcard of ANWR.
Mrs. Palin’s husband worked on the North Slope at Kuparuk and Prudhoe Bay for 13 years–which come to think of it is a heck of a lot more time than the Anointed One spent in any public office.
The Palin’s hunt, they fish, they camp in the wilderness etc. They are outdoor people
They know what it means to have oil exploration and production up on the North side of Alaska. The area that’s going to be drilled in ANWR–or should be drilled–is on a goldang coastal mud flat! It’s not up in the mountains where the moose, the caribou, the bears and the environmental wackos roam.
If Mrs. Palin says that ANWR can be drilled without harm to the environment, then she knows what she’s talking about–and all you are doing is running your ignorant mouth.

…except that if you actually read the story, there is not one Republican interviewed who gives the slightest whiff of tumult – instead a consistently supportive responses were given as well as sympathetic understanding.
And, ironically enough the only commenters in a bit of a tumult over the news were Democrats,
“At least two Democrats were at the event. Julie Zimmerman, 27, who is a program adviser with an educational program called The Washington Center, said she found the news “shocking.”

Another Drew (72d59a) — 9/1/2008 @ 2:32 pmI don’t care at all about Palin’s daughter being pregnant. Most interesting, to me, is the fact that the leftwing bloggers were able to come up with a fairly plausible case that Palin’s daughter had been pregnant, when in fact she was pregnant. What are the odds that they’d be wrong, but only by a few months?
There had to be a grain of truth somewhere that somebody found, and was trying to chase down. Somebody must have tantalized them with some kind of partial disclosure indicating that there was a story about the girl being pregnant. And they extrapolated from there.
Anyway, I’d love to see how the investigation into Palin’s non-pregnancy started. Unlike her daughter’s pregnancy now, the idea that Palin’s pregnancy was a fake really would be a heck of a story if it was true — so I can understand how it spread like wildfire.

But instead we got bleating about how the reason why they let the Enquirer beat their asses to it was out of “respect to his family and Elizabeth Edwards.” But somehow this is a completely different situation – because it’s a Republican and her daughter.

Every day in the Philly media consists of fawning, sycophantic, propaganda hailing the greatness of Obama. The Pravda level bias of the 5th largest city’s media is sickening and pathetic and wholly unexpected.
Looks like Sarah Palin failed as a mother, can she succeed as a VP?
Comment by tg — 9/1/2008 @ 2:16 pm
That argument has and will backfire on liberals, and I hope for that reason you keep making it.
In fact, Sarah Palin has been a great success as a mom. She’s raising 5 of them, and they (and she) have made many mistakes I’m sure. But the oldest, who just made a rather large mistake, didn’t hide it from Mom but communicated with her about it, isn’t compounding it by killing the child, but doing the absolute best thing in the current situation: marrying the father (since they apparently get along) and most importantly, keeping the baby. The baby has been welcomed into the family.
A good friend went through exactly this situation with one of her daughters (though the daughter didn’t marry bio-dad, but someone else later – and due to strong pro-life principles given her by mom and dad, didn’t even consider abortion). Family support helped the daughter through, as it will help Bristol through.
Sarah Palin is handling this perfectly. She displays excellent judgment and mom skills IMO.
Oh, and Andrew Sullivan? He is a mean, bitter, small, vengeful, hopefully mentally ill, grade A asshole. Always felt sorry for him, until today. Now I want to see him crushed into the ground with humiliation for what he’s helping do to that teenager, all because he hates her mother.
no one you know (1ebbb1) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:00 pmAnd Phil is close behind. Remember, we are not to ASSume Sully agrees with things that he posts, especially when he agreea with them.
JD (5f0e11) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:04 pmWhy is everybody paying so much attention to a rumor started by a known pedophile who’s been obsessed with Palin’s baby boy from the moment he saw the first picture of him?
Tommy D (94a45b) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:04 pmHey all,
Apparently Andrew Sullivan wrote blog post (I think around May 30, 2001) titled something like: “Sexual McCarthyism: A Blog Post No One Should Have to Write.” It discusses the personal ads discussed by Daryl Herbert above.
Can anyone find a copy? I can’t find one myself but I’m on a Treo. It seems to me that he’s likely to say some interesting things about sexual privacy that would be interesting to contrast with his current demand for Sarah Palin’s medical records.
Patterico (d1e4e2) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:06 pmNOYK, you bring up a good point – that Bristol Palin turned to her parents and trusted them with this news indicates that she knew she could depend on their unconditional love, support, and guidance. Many, many of us who ended up in Bristol’s position 35 years ago chose not to turn to our parents’ but instead turned to that hip in-touch joint that really *understood* and could *help* because they cared – even more than parents could or would – Planned Parenthood. And for a cool $125 they took care of thousands of young women and sent them on their way, traumatized, bloodied and with a dead ache inside that would last for decades.
The young Bristol’s decision to go to her parents and their response speaks volumes about understanding, forgiveness, and empathy. I’m thinking a lot of families envy this.
Unconditional love. There’s nothing like it.

Absolutely. Couldn’t have put your whole post better myself.
Mental illness in Excitable Andy is the only thing that might partially excuse his horrendous behavior in this matter. And I hope people keep emailing him his own “Sexual McCarthyism” article all week. Thought he could hide it whenever he removed it from his website (I went and looked at the 5/30/01 archive, it’s indeed gone)? Mr Sullivan keeps forgetting that the Internet, like a good mother’s love, is forever.
no one you know (1ebbb1) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:37 pmMore from Sullivan’s “Sexual McCarthyism” — the conclusion (bold mine, BTW, in both of my cut-and-pastes):

Eric Blair (642d37) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:38 pmIt would be funny if Andrew’s obsession with Gov. Palin and her vagina is some sort of repressed hetrosexual urges suddenly coming out of him at this advanced age.

The Republican jihaad against Bill Clinton’s penis certainly left the door open for queries concerning Bristol Palin’s vagina. Not a happy situation I know, but there it is.
The short version is that McCain gave into the party’s right wing and its insistence on giving Palin the nod when there were other FAR more qualified candidates for the VP slot. How this all plays out we shall see in time.
Perhaps a rather short span of time.
David Ehrenstein (961ad1) — 9/1/2008 @ 3:50 pmOf course, Excitable Andy will just respond with “…well, this is entirely different…” for reasons that, though he won’t admit it, are purely partisan.
My kids (at home and in class) are much the same: they love the idea of fairness so long as it is in their favor. They spin like a commercial clothes dryer when that fairness (or consistency) is not to their personal benefit.
This thing with Mr. Sullivan reminds me of the great Walt Whitman bit:

Actually, Elaine Benes — played by Palin (kinda) lookalike Julia Louis-Dreyfus — converted a “starting shortstop” for one night. But he went back.
L.N. Smithee (452a68) — 9/1/2008 @ 4:03 pmPhil –
I don’t care at all about Palin’s daughter being pregnant.
— But you’re going to talk about it anyway.
Most interesting, to me, is the fact that the leftwing bloggers were able to come up with a fairly plausible case that Palin’s daughter had been pregnant, when in fact she was pregnant. What are the odds that they’d be wrong, but only by a few months?
— 1) She was not pregnant during the time period when they allege she was pregnant, which I will acknowledge that you acknowledged . . . after you hinted otherwise. 2) The rumors began months ago, created and spread by haters that used Sarah’s thin frame (she didn’t appear to be super-pregnant) as an excuse to sling mud. 3) The odds of a teenage girl getting pregnant can be seen in CDC and Census Bureau (and Guttmacher Institute) statistics. It happens. The cop who gave James Dean his speeding ticket on the day that he died could have predicted that Dean would die one day in a car crash, but he couldn’t necessarily predict that it would be the same day.
There had to be a grain of truth somewhere that somebody found, and was trying to chase down. Somebody must have tantalized them with some kind of partial disclosure indicating that there was a story about the girl being pregnant. And they extrapolated from there.
— Total imaginary extrapolation on your part, without a verifiable grain of truth in it. On the upside, we now have a better picture of how your thought process works.
Anyway, I’d love to see how the investigation into Palin’s non-pregnancy started. Unlike her daughter’s pregnancy now, the idea that Palin’s pregnancy was a fake really would be a heck of a story if it was true — so I can understand how it spread like wildfire.
Icy Truth (a7ead4) — 9/1/2008 @ 4:06 pm— Translation: tabloid journalism is simply to tempting to ignore. Maybe, for you, it is.
Icy, we have no idea when she was pregnant. We only have what Palin Inc. says to go by. Getting ahold of the actual medical records will be impossible, as no crime was involved in any of this.
So far as we know.
And yes I LOVE that Seinfeld episode, L.N.
David Ehrenstein (961ad1) — 9/1/2008 @ 4:12 pmEsepcially when Jerry explains to Elaine that her acess to “the equipment” can’t compare with those who “OWN the equipment.”

There is a possibility that some idiot got the details wrong and wanted to make up this plot to draw out the truth or distort the news. But the entire Wasilla area was aware of this non-story. They just don’t think it’s anyone’s business (and they are so right).

Sorry, guys. You know, I hope, that I am anti-Obama. But Palin was just neutralized. It’s the white trash factor.
— Care to define “neutralized” in this context?
In telling the press today that this topic is off-limits, Obama pointed out that his mother was only 18 when she gave birth to him. Let’s look a little closer, shall we:
Obama’s mother, Ann, was born November 29, 1942.
She married Obama’s father on February 2, 1961.
Barack was born August 4, 1961.
Barack was born 6 months after his parents got married, and 8 months + one week after his mother turned 18. So, she was already pregnant when she got married, and it’s possible that she was still 17 when she got pregnant.
