Cheat Seeking Missiles

n a bizarre end - and I do mean end, for cryin’ out loud - to the Left’s crazy “Sarah Palin faked a pregnancy” story, we learn this morning that Sarah and Todd Palin’s oldest daughter Bristol is five months pregnant. (Bristol’s on the right in this photo from 2007.) The news pretty much messes up the biometrics of the Left’s vaunted fake pregnancy story, since Palin gave birth to Trig Palin four and a half months ago.

The Palin’s statement:

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,” the Palins’ statement said.

“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,” the Palins said. (Reuters)

Once they catch their breath, expect the Leftist meme to turn, unwarrentedly, to “Palin’s forcing Bristol to have the baby when she should get an abortion.” But they haven’t quite gotten to that point yet; here’s where the rumormonger Kos is as of this moment:

OK, there is a visibly-pregnant Sarah Palin talking with a CBS 11 (~~Dallas~~ Juneau) reporter at the ~~Governor’s meeting in Texas~~ end of the Alaska legislative session. She clearly appears to be pregnant.

Unless someone has counter evidence, we can drop this crap now. Yes, there are still some interesting questions, such as why she flew to Dallas and back when she was this pregnant, and why the Alaska Airlines crewmembers insisted that she was not visibly pregnant on the flight. Nevertheless, until this photo is debunked, we look stupid pushing this rumor.

That is all.

The strike-overs are there because the photo was first reported to have been taken in Dallas, which generated an entire meme over whether Palin appeared pregnant to Alaska Airline personnel and whether they should have let a pregnant Palin on the plane and whether she had on a “fake pregnancy suit.”

Yes, it may be a fake pregnancy suit, but we have no evidence of that, other than self-serving testimony of Alaska Airlines crew claiming that they had no idea Palin was pregnant (if they’d had any idea, they should have kept her off the flight).

UPDATE 3: Looking into this further, this is not CBS 11 in Dallas, but CBS 11 in Anchorage.

How, exactly, did they get comments from airline personnel if Palin never got on a plane to Dallas? Sorry; no explanation is provided, so we have no option but to pass it off as Leftist moonbattery.

The utter, vile stupidity of the Left on this entire matter is summed up in the Daily Kos poll question that follows their admission of lunacy:

Is this helping or should I delete this?

Nearly three-quarters of Kos readers vote “yes,” but apparently none is bright enough to point out that “yes” can mean “Yes, it’s helping, keep it up,” or “Yes, it’s not helping, so delete it.”

Meanwhile, back to the Palins: How ironic, and how unfortunate, that the first ticket for national office to include a knocked-up, unmarried daughter is a GOP ticket. It is wonderful to legitimize keeping the baby once pregnant, as Bristol is doing, and as the father of three daughters, while I hope I’ll never have to give a statement like the Palins’, I can’t quibble with a word of it; it would be our statement if we had to face that situation. But the phenomenon of unwed births is detrimental to society, so even though the GOP ticket is right on the whole choice issue, it’s unfortunate that the McCain/Palin ticket must now embrace [perhaps there's a better word] conception out of wedlock.
