| No Class #4: the Kos Kiddies' imaginary teen pregnancy scandal |
| 2008-08-30 |
| "Captain Ed" Morissey, "Hot Air" Sarah Palin wasn’t REALLY pregnant — it’s her daughter’s 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 Palin’s maternity. Supposedly, so the story goes, the baby really was their eldest daughter’s (currently in high school), and not hers. The proof? At six months, Palin didn’t “look pregnant”, and supposedly her daughter had mono and took some time off from school. That’s it. This is, simply, despicable. See also: "pathetic", "unimaginative" Babies born to teen mothers rarely have Down’s 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 state’s 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. |

| #7 Tipper - "Troopergate" is out there (there's a legislature investigation that will go... nowhere), and hiding it, like BHO's hiding of Ayers, Wright, etc., doesn't help. Addressit and get past it. She says she didn't do anything directly but could easily add: "He threatened the life of my parents, shot his son with a Taser,and he shouldn't be fired?? You're right, he should be in jail". Let the MSM and lefties choke on that, but don't hide it. Mouse undoubtedly feels the same, as does McCain's vetting crew, apparently. Flopping Aces has the "whole story", such as it is |

| #6 You gotta love it when Kos's kids let their imaginations run wild. Helps convince some political savants that Daily Kos folks aren't simply out in left field somewheres, they're way the h**l out of the ball park. |

| #3 As a 19 year Alaskan, that's just plain stupid. Palin has other issues (e.g., Trooper-gate), but that's just stupid. anymouse, does that mean u r 19yrs old or have lived in Alaska for 19 yrs? Or, r u just an Obot doing his 30 hour @ $7.50 an hour stint for the Messiah. |
