Sarah Pailin's Baby

When Sarah Palin announced she was having a baby, local news papers were confused. Why did she wait until 6 months before she was due? And boy-howdy does she look good for being that far along.

But the story then went away.

Six weeks later she has her baby. She was Texas, her water broke, she gave a speech and took the slow train back to Alaska laster on. All very strange. They named the child Trig, he has Down's Syndrome.

But the story went away.

Now some journalists and bloggers have done some digging. And they are now calling shenanigans. They've been doing through the news archives and looking and pictures. They thing that the whole story is a sham and that the kid, is Pailin's oldest daughters. Here are two links that walk through the story.

These are just rumors, but both posts make really good arguments. Look for this to break into the mainstream media soon. Where ever you are politically, her vetting and announcement happened very quickly. That along is enough for someone to dig deeper and ask some had questions.

***UPDATE: Do you know how Gov. Palin is dealing with the rumors that her youngest son Trig is not her child, but her oldest daughters? Announcing that her oldest daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant. That Bristol will soon be marrying the unborn baby's father. And that Bristol is about to learn the hard lessons adulthood. Thus Bristol is being forced into a married that is doomed to fail.

What else does this mean. The math says that Trig is Pailin's child. It also means that Pailin is just a bad mother.

***UPDATE 2: Internet Grump John C Dvorak has a theory:

Bristol is not pregnant at all but she did have the baby Trig and that story is becoming unraveled. Sarah is going to have to leave the race and the party needs a fall guy. The fall guy caused the problem in the first place: Bristol. Palin will exit for the “sake of the family” No harm, no foul. This is too much of a weird coincidence otherwise.

Not bad, and it makes the time line work. John Gruber brings up Tom Eagleton who lasted 18 days before withdrawing from the McGovern ticket in 1972. All Eagleton did was not tell everyone that he has been treated for depression.

However this turns out Sarah Palin through her daughter (and at least one baby) under the bus for political gain.
