Aug. 31st, 2008 03:18 pmThe most fucked up rumor / potential scandal I've heard this week is about Sarah Palin:
The official story from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_palin#Family
Palin gave birth to her youngest child, Trig, on April 18, 2008, while in office as governor. Though she announced that she was pregnant only during the start of her third trimester and one month before Trig was born, her pregnancy is reported to have surprised Alaskans, including her staff.] After her water broke, on the day of Trig's delivery, Palin delivered a keynote address in Texas and then flew 8 hours to Alaska. Palin returned to office quickly, just three days after delivering Trig. The baby has Down syndrome; Palin's decision to have the baby was applauded by the pro-life community.
The rumors, from many places including http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/30/121350/137/486/580223
Palins 16 year old daughter bristol was pregnant, and Palin is pretending the baby is hers. Her daughter was taken out of school for six months they said due to a case of mono.
My friend who works news says this is probably going to blow up or be discredited in a week. I don't know if this is awesome investigative journalism, or lame ass gossipy bullshit. I do know Gawker has come up with the best image ever:
