No Class #4: the Kos Kiddies' imaginary teen pregnancy scandal
"Captain Ed" Morissey, "Hot Air"Sarah Palin wasnt REALLY pregnant its her daughters child. This popped up on a Daily Kos diary and has unfortunately been repeated by bloggers who should know better. The rumor is a weird reversal of the John Edwards story, only this time, critics refute Palins maternity. Supposedly, so the story goes, the baby really was their eldest daughters (currently in high school), and not hers. The proof? At six months, Palin didnt look pregnant, and supposedly her daughter had mono and took some time off from school. Thats it. This is, simply, despicable. See also: "pathetic", "unimaginative" Babies born to teen mothers rarely have Downs Syndrome anyway, whereas the possibility for that with a mother in her 40s is about 1 in 20. Athletic women sometimes do not show until late in the pregnancy. The whole rumor rests on the notion that the states most visible woman could carry out a fake pregnancy in front of the press while simultaneously hiding her daughter, and then pull a switcheroo and for what possible purpose? To cover up a teen pregnancy, in this day and age? Give me a break. Posted by: Mike 2008-08-30 |
