    Malkin also equates the story with the Obama birth certificate affair.

    Should have kept the Palin issue away from the Obama BC issue. You asked for it.

    Andrew Sullivan may be wrong on this case but he is a good true conservative in many other cases. He recognized George Bush’s phony conservatism much before everyone else and also he is avid an supported to true conservative Ron Paul.

    His posts are also very thought provoking and not just sensationalizing petty items or stating the obvious.

    Ah, PDS will be with us as long as Sarah is in the public eye with sights on ‘12 or ‘16 and contiue to grow stronger as we near election time.

    Oprah is already publically miffed by Palin’s rebuff of an invitation to be on her show, now that she’s no threat to her Obamessiah. Poor, poor little Oprah. Good for Sarah!

    Yeah, well, soap those of us who have reading comprehension beyond a first grade level understand Michelle’s equating the Trig Trutherism to Obama’s birth certificate nuttery.

    Sullivan, apparently, doesn’t.

    What Flickr account was that photo from? And how is Sullivan sure it was a photo TAKEN on March, rather than uploaded?

    And it should be noted what a fundamentally dishonest person Sarah Palin is. The Bridge to Nowhere, claiming that she only made Bristol’s pregnancy public because of blog rumors, claiming that she really did know more Supreme Court cases than Roe but was too startled to tell Katie Couric, claiming she really reads anything but was too startled to say.

    Whether her lies go beyond standard politician dishonesty is debatable, but in my mind if you lie about one thing so brazenly, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt. She needs to prove the rumors false because her word has no value.

    Anyone in the public can examine the female politician, to avoid stuff like this in the future.

    What a tool. In the two pics posted, in the older pic she is clearly leaning backwards thereby emphasizing her belly and in the more recent leaning forward de-emphasizing her belly. When I stand up straight you can see the outline of my lower ribcage under a t-shirt, but if I arch my back and push my belly out I darn near look pregnant. Posture has a lot to do with how our bodies look.

    Or maybe we have witnessed one of the biggest frauds in American political history and the biggest failures among the American media in a very, very long time.

    And why should they, lgm? MEDICAL RECORDS should be private. Birth Certificates make sure candidates are Constitutionally eligible for office. There is no constitutional requirement on health and parentage.

    Isn’t that what liberals argue as the basis for abortion – a right to privacy?

    Funny how that doesn’t apply with Palin.

    The message is clear: Palin should have aborted Trig, then the left wouldn’t have to waste their time with the Trig Trutherism.

    Good to know liberals have defeated poverty, drug abuse, child abuse and other important issues and can waste this much time discussing the parentage of a Downs child.

    REALLY Because there is photo right here of Gov Sarah Palin pregnant with her son “Trig” on Huffington Post Subject line PROCLAIMING – YES she is Trig’s mother.

    I guess this photo of her doesn’t count to the person perpetuating the the conspiracy because it doesn’t fit “nutty” agenda….Because right below she looks Pregnant.

    Sure it is. Obama’s refusal to release his grades makes me assume he wasn’t a top student. Just as Palin’s refusal to release her medical records makes me assume she has something to hide. I don’t think it’s a pregnancy scandal, but I don’t know what it could be.

    Actually, all major candidates release their medical records. It’s not required, but it is unheard of not to. The facts that a) it would be so easy to do so, b) she released a short statement that she typically lied about and claimed constituted releasing her medical records, and c) she has lied about so many other things, strongly suggest she is hiding something that would get in the way of her career. Really, to deny this is to be so blind a water carrier you can’t even see anything around you.

    Call me crazy (ok, Dan, you’re crazy!), but Governor Palin is athletic, has been since high school, continues to hunt and fish, so it’s safe to assume she knows how to take care of herself. Heck, I’m no expert (and nobody else seems to be as well), but because the governor knows how to stay in shape, and, quite possibly, eat sensibly, and yes, exercise sensibly while pregnant (given she’s had five children), it’s not really a stretch to believe she may not look as “pregnant” as somebody else would expect. I’m not saying she did any of this, of course, during the course of any of her pregnancies, just that it’s possible.

    The more people pile on her, the more I like her. It’s just too bad she’s still being trashed long after the election is over. Is this what we can expect from the left for the next four years? (yeah, right, don’t everybody answer that question at once as the sound will be deafening.)

    Nope, she’s married. I’m going to try to take some photos of her and see if any of them look “not pregnant.”

    By the way, reading some of the comments there and at palindeception.com, it was MY experience when I was pregnant that I didn’t get that big with an 8 pound baby, nor did my chest grow significantly. Likewise, a very athletic woman I lived with in the dorms (she was the staff member in charge of student life) was SIX months pregnant, running on a treadmill and I couldn’t tell.

    NO big chest, no big belly.

    Hell, there are specials on women who wake up one day ill and go to the hospital to discover they’re in LABOR.

    As I said, these people are crazy.

    These idiots are assuming that one month after Trig was born, Bristol became pregnant immediately afterwards again? PLEASE!!!! Get a life.

    My daughters mother was 7 months pregnant and still going to the clubs and smoking/drinking and “dating” (i’ll be nice) other men because you couldnt tell she was pregnant. Shes had 6 kids and you cant tell she even had one to this day. Some people are genetically capable of pulling it off.

    Sullivan makes his point, and there is some merit. He also makes sure to point out that these are only questions, which have not been answered and in some cases have been actively distorted. The same exact thing can be said about Obama’s certificate of live birth. Malkin is right in comparing the two, but she’s wrong in her derision of the questioners.

    If we’ve learned anything at all from politics in the modern era, it’s that politicians are lairs. It doesn’t matter what political persuasion, politicians will habitually lie and cover up anything that could possibly be considered outside the bounds of political correctness. Our only defense? Ask questions. Question everything about them – their history, marital life, children, political achievements. If they waffle or engage in doublespeak or cover up, then double the efforts.

    One of America’s biggest problems is it’s idolization of our political leaders. This leads to a culture of corruption, and the assumption that people will believe whatever the political idol says. Our only way of fighting back is by questioning those areas which seem the most sensitive. This is exactly the reason that Trig and Birth Certificate “Trutherism” have gained traction. At anytime, the Palin or Obama camps could shut these issues down by simply releasing the information. Instead, the official camps ignore and deride the questioners, and the pundits provide the attacks.

    If we’ve learned anything at all from politics in the modern era, it’s that politicians are lairs.

    You mean a Secret Lair? Like where Dr. Evil hangs out?

    I don’t think politicians are obligated to answer questions from the ridiculously unhinged. It only gives nutjobs like Sullivan some validation. (And yes, Sullivan is a nutjob. Before becoming obsessed with Sarah Palin’s uterus, he was promoting an anti-Cheney conspiracy theory from an Alex Jones acolyte.)

    I’m still trying to figure out why this is an issue. With McCain or Reagan, I understand that the age issue prompts some concern about health issues and the Oval Office. But a previous pregnancy is a short term issue and not likely to impact the long term health of a prospective office holder.

    Can one of you trolls explain to me what difference it makes? And don’t try the “if she lied about this she lies about everything” argument unless you can give me some full disclosure on the B.O./Ayers relationship.

    What a bunch of jealous people. She was pregnant and gov of Alaska. Talk about multitasking. Maybe these clowns could give an interview from their homes while cooking moose stew too. Palin can run circles around all of them. The more they do this sort of thing, the dumber they look.
    As for dOprah, I doubt that Palin really snubbed her. Is the gov of any state supposed to drop everything and go on Twit TV just to make dOprah happy? Sorry, dOprah, get your ratings another way!

    I guess I am a troll on this topic as my opinion differs from most (catch me on the bailout topics for non-troll commentary). It matters as she could quite possibly be the GOP nominee for president in 2012.

    Andrew Sullivan seems to have a point Sarah Palin does not look 8 months pregnant in the photo he posts. Palin could end it by releasing her medical records, as she promised to do during the campaign. Obama did release his birth certificate. Sarah Palin did not release her medical records.

    REALLY Because there is photo right here of Gov Sarah Palin pregnant with her son “Trig” on Huffington Post Subject line PROCLAIMING – YES she is Trig’s mother.

    I guess this photo of her doesn’t count to the person perpetuating the the conspiracy because it doesn’t fit “nutty” agenda….Because right below she looks Pregnant.

    And why should they? MEDICAL RECORDS should be private.

    Candidates for President and Vice President by tradition (not law) release tax records and health records. They have less privacy than ordinary citizens. Palin promised to release her medical records. She didn’t have to promise, but she did.

    In the end, she broke that promise. She didn’t even release a “summary”. She released a letter from a physician stating that she is in good health.

    I grant you the MSM has idolized Bill and Barack but Bill never won 50% of the votes cast in either of his two elections. Barack finally managed to do so but only 52% of the votes went his way. Again, you really need to look up the meaning of the word “idolized.” I do not think that word means what you think it does.

    From the Washington Post.

    In a transcript of the exchange, released by NBC, Williams asked, “Did I hear you just agree to release your medical records?”

    Palin — the only one of the top four candidates who has not released her medical documents yet — replied: “The medical records, so be it. If that will allow some curiosity seekers perhaps to have one more thing that they either check the box off that they can find something to criticize or to rest them assured over. I’m healthy, happy, I’ve had five kids, that’s going to be in the medical records. Never seriously ill or hurt, you’ll see that in the medical records if they’re released.”

    I always thought it meant to regard with blind adoration or devotion. We might be talking about different things here, but the fact is politicians are marketed this way. Let’s take the example of celebrities, would you say that in our culture celebrities are idolized? Do you think there is any comparison to be made between how our politicians are viewed and how celebrities are viewed? I think so, you might not. Percentages don’t really matter here – I hate Britney Spears, but millions of young women love Britney Spears. They, of course, are the most vocal. You will react differently to the media and social narrative, but it is still there.

    This is summed up pretty perfect by the fact that we on the right have mocked Obama with the title of “Messiah”.

    But the “if” in Palin’s last sentence suggests that the Alaska governor was speaking in the hypothetical, and two of her aides did not reply to The Trail’s request for a clarification.

    I suspected that the problem was a semantical one, and you have proven me right. She didn’t promise a damn thing.

    “So be it” is a strong statement of purpose. I would figure that was the argument for the “promise”. Although I think we’ve only caught Palin in the act of being a politician – making sure statements are noncommittal enough to slip out of in the case they come back to bite.

    This ties in nicely to the topic of political idolization though. Even though her statement justifies the fact that she knows that she needs to release her records, the only relevant part to people that idolize her is the slippery verbiage at the end.
