drama!

as i said in this thread, the rumor that Governor Sarah Palin is really the grandmother of her youngest child seemed delicious but very far-fetched.

yet it's starting to hang together.

oh, and Biden's son and brother may be trouble (via hottipper sinthrex)

i need some popcorn.

This is just nuts. But I love it, because it's so very Jerry Springer.

What it comes down to for me, though, is this:

If the baby is actually her kid's, then she's a liar and a hypocrite for covering up her abstinence-only education mistake.

If the baby is actually hers, and she got on a 10-hour flight while in pre-term labor with a high-risk pregnancy, then she's a hypocrite AND an idiot.

Either way, she doesn't come out of this looking good.

And neither does the GOP, for not vetting her more thoroughly.

Thanks for the link. When this rumor first came out, I had only read the part about not showing at 7 months, which I hadn't either and the concurrent removal of her daughter from school. I sighed and said can't make much out of that.

But this story! First, the flying wouldn't be on any sane person's agenda at month 8.

Flying with your water breaking though? No, I don't buy that part at all. For me, even though I wasn't having contractions, the hospital wanted me there to induce me so I wouldn't have an infection. And you never know when those contractions will start, so you wouldn't be on a 10 hour flight. There is no way even a very fit mom with previously healthy pregnancies would have flown all the way home, driven to a remote facility, etc. And her age alone puts her in a high-risk category.
