Remember back when Sarah Palin was running for vice president and there was that nasty rumor that Trig wasn’t her baby at all, but she was covering up for Bristol, who was still just a teenager and unmarried. That was a great conspiracy theory. Sneaky sex, out of control lust, greed, power and beautiful people, set against the backdrop of Northern Exposure. I believed that conspiracy theory (still do,
At the very least, she's guilty of child endangerment
actually), mostly because of the “wild ride.” That is, the wild ride from Texas back to Alaska, after Sarah’s “water broke.” She finished her speech, went to the airport, checked in (the check-in people didn’t notice she was pregnant – if they’d known she was about to drop, they might not have let her on the plane) She flew to Seattle, where she changed planes for Anchorage (no stewardess on either flight noticed that she was pregnant), then drove up to the Mat Su medical center to have the baby. She passed up perfectly good hospitals in Texas, Seattle and Anchorage.
But, then Bristol turned up pregnant, the dates didn’t seem to add up, and the talk stopped. Now, the issue is back in the spotlight, thanks to a journalism professor at Northern Kentucky University named Bradford W. Scharlott. He’s written a paper on the subject, called “Palin, the Press, and the Fake Pregnancy Rumor: Did a Spiral of Silence Shut Down the Story?”
He doesn’t really add much new. He talks about the wild ride, about how staffers were surprised when Sarah announced her pregnancy at 7 months when she didn’t look pregnant, incomplete documentation by the hospital, Bristol’s disappearing from Wasilla in the last half of her senior year, all the old stuff. Convincing, but not new. The one new twist he adds is just to compare this to the Obama birth certificate demanders. He says if they can get into the press, he wants equal time. He points out, quite correctly, that we haven’t seen Trig’s birth certificate.
I don’t see any reason why the case shouldn’t be investigated. I would like to see the stewardesses and other airline employees grilled by eager young government prosecutors wanting to make a name for themselves, I would like to see the hospital staff forced to swear under oath and on threat of perjury charges that it was truly Sarah and not Bristol who pushed that precious little retard down the birth canal, I want to hear pregnant pauses and voices that catch in the throat, I want to see dogged detectives skulking in hotel lobbies, finding a clever way to get a bit of hair or fingernail from Tripp, Trigg, the abstinent mother and the grandmother/mother, and I want to see it live, in hi-def and 3D, if at all possible.
Is that too much to ask?

Two points:
1. It’s somewhat established that older women run a higher risk of Downs babies. My mother-in-law experienced that, though she had two “normal” children after that.
2. Lactating women have much larger sweater puppies. Did anyone notice an enlargement in Mrs. Palin’s boobs after Trig was born?
Well, one piece of evidence was that she didn’t look particularly pregnant before the birth. I don’t remember anybody talking about large breasts after the birth. Or, I should say, larger than usual.
