Default Is Palin the grandmother of her own baby???

I am shocked at you people! SHocked, I say!

Absolutely no discussion around the rumor that Palin's fifth child is actually her 16 yo daughter's?



Palin when she was six months "pregnant" (before announcing her pregnancy):



That may be the skinniest pregnant woman I've ever seen!

This one was taken a week or two later:



Hmmmm, who looks preggers in this one?

Interestingly enough, that same daughter was out of school for months in the spring with "mono".

Carry on, I'm just starting rumors...

Stupid rumor...what a loada crap.

Absolutely zero proof of anything.

The baby has Down Syndrome. Probability of Down Syndrome in a baby born to a woman at her age is somewhere around 1 in 25, in a teenager it's closer to 1 in 2000. It also easily explains why she did not announce her pregnancy until she was in her seventh month since there was probably a chance of losing the baby and why would she ever want to go public with that sort of pain? Furthermore, the lower birth weight associated with Down Syndrome could explain why she wouldn't appear pregnant for so long.

That's been the funniest subplot of this whole thing, the people on the left attacking this bill for not being even more of a steaming pile. - erosewater

It really has to be terrible to be the minor children of politicians. It hasn't been much more than a day, and now her daughter can see pictures online that show big arrows pointing to her gut in a family photo and questioning the possibility of a secret child.

The daughter is 16. This is not Chelsea Clinton getting asked tough questions or Michelle Obama having to defend her comments.

Amazing how any family gets through it.

I don't think they are attacking her daughter, they are attacking the grandmother. It must be hard to keep your daughter from becoming a slut when you are governor of a small state.

Classy... Are you making a joke or something that's being lost in the blogosphere? Your post is only two sentences long and you've fantastically managed to have them completely contradict each other.

You aren't reading it correctly. Both sentences are aimed at the governor.
