Rumors About Sarah Palin's Fifth Child Abound on the Internet
According to a post on The Daily Kos, Sarah Palin's five month-old son Trig may not actually be hers. The author speculates that the child, who was born with Down syndrome, may actually belong to Governor Palin's seventeen year old daughter Bristol.
U.S. Senator and Republican presidential candidate John McCain (R) looks on with new vice presidential candidate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as she stands with her daughters Piper (C) and Willow (L) August 29, 2008 in Dayton, Ohio. McCain made the Palin announcement one day after Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in Denver.

There are a few pieces of "evidence" upon which the author stakes his claim:
While what the author presents seems damning, most of the above "facts" are highly speculative. The author lists no concrete sources--does not even attempt to legitimize them. There are plenty of reasons why Sarah Palin would have chosen not to disclose her pregnancy for so long, especially if she knew the unborn child had Down syndrome (according to her, she did). Why invite the press into your private affairs?

What business is it of ours, really? Sure, we could peg Sarah Palin for an unethical liar, but why not a compassionate mother who wishes to protect her daughter? As my friend Kevin notes, "her own party's draconian and outdated norms are what would have caused her to do it in the first place." Truth or not, expect to see more about this rumor in the next two months.
UPDATE: Bristol Palin heading for divorce before she even got married...

- No one knew about Sarah Palin's pregnancy until March, a month and a half before Trig was born. The pregnancy reportedly came as a surprise to even Palin's own staff.
- Palin appeared extremely thin for a pregnant woman until the very last month. She even appeared lithe and slender in Vogue about 4 months before Trig's birth.
- Palin's daughter Bristol supposedly stayed out of school for several months during the past school year, citing a case of mononeucleosis to explain her absence.

The real story here is not so much about whether Sarah Palin actually gave birth to a retarded baby, but more so that there are millions of people out there who actually believe John McCain is fit to serve as Commander in Chief, and that Sarah is ready to step right in and fill those shoes if necessary. These people are basically uninformed imbeciles, and they are out there walking among us. Please tell me, how are we to survive as a nation with this many gullible non-thinking people living in our country and being allowed the right to vote? It serves as a good argument against democracy.
Rumors spread far and wide. Sarah is just as qualified to be VP or Pres as much as the next person.
WHAT we don't need - is a black in the White House.
There is no proof right now, Dana. I think I made it pretty clear that the lack of proof makes the whole affair very dubious.
DAILY KOS ARE SCUM BAGS !!!
All you small minded people who are crucifying Governor Palin over the question of her fifth child, are just fueling a vicious smear campaign. Besides, if you want to exhibit your holier-than-thou attitude ... why don't you get even more angry at Obama, Michelle, and their children, for spending 20 years in an anti-American racist church, as well as associations with Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, etc.. These facts are much more relevant to the next administration, than the possibility of a loving mother taking the heat to protect her child and grandchild.
Just heard that Bristol is 5 months pregnant.... so how can she be 5 months pregnant and given birth 4 months ago. HA HA!! Rumor debunked!!!
I am so glad this is over!
What other rumors do we need to disprove now??
.....
Don't the liberals look stupid!!!! Bristol is indeed pregnant but she is 5 months along!!! Do the math!! Trig is Sarah's child.....not Bristol's. Not a story!! Just another teen pregnancy, nothing more. Sorry liberals!!
Assume for a second the mother is lying. Of course she is going to say the daughter is 5 months pregnant. It's called throwing the press a bone to get them off the trail. Anyway, why would a mother with a newborn Downs child, take such a job with such immense responsibility? It' like she is telling her family, husband and the daughter in question - here you take care of the kid. I don't want to be bothered. That is some bonding going on between mom and infant. This really stinks. The only thing missing is the photo of the knocked-up 17 year old breast feeding her first kid.
Mat Su regional hospital has a calendar and photos of all babies born there over that last several years. Here is the link for the reported date from the reported hospital. I called the hospital Labor day and they had "no comment"; said to call tomorrow.

I am not one for conspiracy theories, but there is clearly something to this.
Time will tell. I must admit,some things do look questionable!!!Look how fast the Casey Anthony mess unraveled. Facts folks,facts.We will get answers!The Palins do seem to be a lovely family from the outside,but a pretty facade could cover an ugly mess!
Folks - I just figured it all out -
When you lie, you have to keep lying so you're not found out. The daughter is NOT pregnant. It's a lie to cover for the original lie. This lie buys them two months until the election. Mark my words - This girl will have some sort of "miscarriage" at some point to cover the faked pregnancy we are hearing about now.
Don't the liberals look stupid!!!! Bristol is indeed pregnant but she is 5 months along!!! Do the math!! Trig is Sarah's child.....not Bristol's. Not a story!! Just another teen pregnancy, nothing more. Silly liberals!!
Sarah Palins's lies:
There is no way that Sarah Palin water broke during a sppech in Texas back in April. She spoke for 30 minutes, caught 2 planes back to Alaska, drive 50 miles to her home. No word on her ever going to hospital..
Check this out:
NOBODY can board a commerical airplane who are 36 months and over (check the rules) call the airlines- Brook Shields was not allowed to travel while pregnant for her fathers funeral.
When your water break.....everyone I know went immediately to hospital because the babies safety comes first. Why didn't Sarah and her husband stay in Texas, where we have excellent hospitals? Why didn't they go straight to the hospital when they arrived in Alaska? What is really troubling is that she was soak and wet from her water breaking and she kept going WET for many hours and no labor? Something is terribly wrong with this story...I'd love to hear her version on this...

my cousin went to school there, she said that it is bristol's baby and that the father is the older brother and that is why they covered it up.
OMGoodness!!! Seriously. I think you are all desperate!!! OMGoodness!!! You people are absolutely ridiculous!! Look - this should just show that no matter How "real" things look - they are not always true!! Sometimes they are! This is one case that libs are really reaching. It's stupid. Find better things to do with your time and energy. Leave Palin alone and her daughter. I pray she has a healthy baby. I am sure if I was running for office you could "find" something on me even though I am "clean". I am done! Libs make me nauseous and I am so glad I am conservative.
Oh and BTW you can board a plane if you are more than 36 weeks pregnant. My friend did it - she didn't look pg and she took a trip. so according to you people - she didn't look pregnant and she chose not to alarm the passengers - so yes she could fly at more than 36 weeks.
HIPPA laws prevent hospitals giving out personal information about patients. So Matsu hospital cannot by law give you any information. I know when I had my kids I had to sign something allowing them to place info about my child's birth on line and in the paper. I am sure being in the position she is in that she didn't want that on the internet so she chose NOT to sign the paper to allow info. Celebrities do it all the time - but it's ok for them because most of them are "LIBERAL"!!!! Just let her be please. IF you don't like her - vote for OBAMA! I think it will be a mistake - but it's a free country to vote how we want. So vote for Obama/Biden - I don't care - but use your time more wisely than looking for ANYTHING you can to ruin McCain/Palin. It's a stupid fight taht you are bound to lose!!!
:-)
u ignorant libs ,,, now wat u gonna come up with ....dont u think u should all write an apology to Sarah ? Liars all of u !!! where i come from u would get ur a$$ kicked for this kinda stuff...
Bristol is not pregnant, and will conveniently miscarriage after the election. What dupes you all are.
so is Bristol Palin married? She had premarital sex? From a working Mom who multi task so much tha I am just trying to catch up on news about Sarah Palin.
Just for Tom, I live in Alaska and the rumor going around is that Sarah had a tubal ligation and couldn't have a child after the last. I would never attack Bristol and the girl in the red dress is the 2nd daughter, Willow, not Bristol. My son went to school with Bristol, and all the friends care for her. Sarah has 2 daughters with her on the trail, so do you think this is hurtful to Bristol? Probably. Too, isn't education a priority in this family? Troopergate, she's guilty. This woman took money from Bill Allen (VECO CEO that gave money to Ted Stevens...recently found guilty on 7 cts.). We don't need ALASKAN CORRUPTION in Washington! McCain is RIGHT! She IS a whack job, has trust issues with family...all because of a tubal ligation. Get over it, and let Bristol be the mother, it's NOT her fault, but it IS Sarah's for not teaching her protection. Even then, teens do have relationships and it's too bad that Bristol couldn't go talk to her parents before this happened, now she's HIDDEN away. THAT sucks. It's also sucks that you'd suggest you're voting for a man that would take us into another war with Russia and Iran. I guess you don't care about eating cat food.
If this were Obama's daughter, holy cow...I can imagine it WOULD be on the media! Intolerance is ugly. Let Bristol come out and tell the truth, I'd love to see her go to the media and slap her mother and tell us Trig is not Down's syndrome (fetal alcohol because she was stupid about drinking and did while pregnant...it could be a platform for HER to propel off of and pass up her mommy dearest). Too, there's a guy named Trig in Wasilla, about 22-23 yrs old and his myspace had an ambulance with diaper pins on it...hummmm. Not a smear, just the truth. Palin has done nothing but fabricate about Obama and Troopergate...and we know what happened here in AK. She's the socialist...gives us PFD's to pay us off for votes. Last year it was 800 dollars, this year almost double! WAKE UP.
STOP!!! all you people are crazy cant you see when people spread things like this that it just makes the earth more crazier day by day?
how do you know these things you don't know them you don't know what goes on!! the only time you see them is on the television so get a life and move on and stop spreading rumors that may or may not be even true!! love Bristol rock on!!
Some reports say Saturday, others Sunday. Neither the hospital nor Palin's office will confirm it. Only the sister of Bristol's grandmother has said anything. This is not real reporting, just repetiion of an announcement by a distant family member. They say it was at 5:30 in the morning, and once again, no medical or hospital reports -- very likely she was never pregenant, and has adopted the baby, under-the-table.
