Palin baby still a mystery

Andrew Sullivan still thinks the Palin baby mystery hasn't been put to rest. I agree. I still think that Palin is hiding something.

Andrew Sullivan has AIDS eating away at his brain. What's your excuse?

I have conclusive proof it is a space alien baby. The proof is in area 57, but the government won't let me have access.

One of my friends is from Alaska. Her dad is a doctor in Anchorage, and he thinks that Palin tried to kill her baby with the whole labor in Texas then flight to Alaska to birth it. She's psycho when she's not pregnant. Think of what she's like pregnant.

I forgot to preface that with the fact that she knew it would have downs syndrome and she couldn't have an abortion due to her beliefs, but if the baby had died of 'natural' causes that would have been fine.

"I forgot to preface that with the fact that she knew it would have downs syndrome and she couldn't have an abortion due to her beliefs, but if the baby had died of 'natural' causes that would have been fine."

So God wouldn't have known that she took the risks to try to kill the baby? Can't he like, read minds and stuff? Or is it some kind of divine loophole?

[Shnugi]

I'm pretty sure that she would have been more concerned about earthly judgment at that point. I don't understand why people think Christians fear God. They think Jesus will forgive everything if they repent.

There was a conspiracy theory that this pregnancy scandal was brought about by conservatives, who were certain that liberals would clamor for the 'truth.' The idea being that the liberals would appear heartless conspiracy theorists, deluded in their questioning of straightforward parent-child relationship.

It does look bad; if she chose to hide aspects of her or her daughter's pregnancy, isn't that completely private? Because if there is any truth to the murkiness with Trig's birth, she has taken GREAT pains to hide it.

Why are males the only people who think there's something wrong with the events surrounding Palin's baby?

Palin besides having achieved little in life resents individuals who were able to attend elite universities.

So if it wasn't a sinister garbage conspiracy that put Carney in Palin's crosshairs, what was it? At first glance, the two would have appeared to be allies--both had spent most of their lives in Wasilla and had attended the same high school. But, beyond that, they were sociological opposites in almost every respect. Whereas Palin had bounced around several no-name colleges before graduating from the University of Idaho, Carney held a degree from Dartmouth. Palin seemed preoccupied with her family and church when she entered politics. Carney was preoccupied with histories of the Civil War and World War II (he later contributed a self-published book to the genre) and savored the New York Times crossword puzzle. By the time he joined the city council, Carney had traveled to Asia, Australia, and Central America. He'd run the Anchorage office of Alaska's economic development agency and had served as the state's agriculture director. "I'd dealt with larger budgets by far than the city of Wasilla," he recently told me.

Carney had a wry sense of humor. He was fond of joking that he'd graduated from Wasilla High School in the "top 20 percent"--by which he meant he was valedictorian of his five-person class. Sometimes Palin was the only colleague who didn't get his jokes. "I don't think he had too much patience for her lack of understanding," says John Stein, then the town's mayor. In internal discussions, Carney would be relentlessly logical while Palin was vague and intuitive. "Nick had a way of being direct and to the point, something that Sarah was uncomfortable with," recalls Chase. Which is to say, when it came to garbage removal, what Palin seemed to have chafed against was less the substance of Carney's position than what she felt was his elitist, Ivy League bearing. And, over the next few years, she found ways to get him back.

Yes, it is infuriating how well Palin covers her tracks. Someone who went to school with Palin, and who delivered her babies, told me the other day that Palin actually had Down's syndrome triplets, but drowned the other two secretly. She then prayed for forgiveness and felt better. Andrew Sullivan assured me independently that this is true.

Conspiracy theories are almost always true, and in this case particularly with Palin making us all so viscerally uncomfortable, we all know they are true. Even if they contradict each other. Logical contradiction can't be allowed to get in the way of a good hate.

Sullivan actually thinks the Palin's 6 figure salary may enable them to pay off the hospital staff involved in the "cover-up". Of course it should be perfectly obvious to anyone that the National Enquirer would probably pay well into the 7 figures for this story if true.

And yet no nurse, doctor, friend or family member has came forward.

You must not be familiar with the privacy rules that apply to hospitals, doctors, nurses, etc. If anyone stepped forward and even confirmed or denied who was admitted on a given day, it would be actionable. The individual and the hospital would both be breaking the law. Her medical records, even admission records, are protected by law. Even the doctor can't say who did or did not have a baby withouth Palin's consent. There is only one actual discrepancy, one ounce of proof, that is black and white in this case. Palin said on (at least) two occasions that she consulted her doctor about flying back from Texas and that her doctor "approved" the flight...gave the "green light." Baldwin-Johnson, her family physician, said in an interview with an Alaskan newspaper that she did not give medical permission to fly. That's where I would start if I was conducting a formal investigation........

Actually, the baby was fathered by a former KKK black church bomber from the 1960's who is a friend of John McCain's. He and McCain served together for two years on the board of foundation flush with oil money that made grants to radio stations carrying the Rush Limbaugh program. McCain also wrote a favorable review of one of the Klansman's books for an urban daily newspaper. His wife, Cindy McCain, once worked at a beer distributorship with the KKK man's wife. And both McCain and the KKK church bomber appeared on panel discussions about which countries the U.S. should bomb in the future. But the press won't investigate the links between McCain and the KKK bomber because they are protecting McCain.

i'm no conspiracy theorist but the baby is obviously bristol's and this is baby # 2 she's having with levi since he wouldn't bother with the first baby. also, i suspect trig may have alcohol fetal syndrome rather then down's syndrome since bristol was a partier. there is no way sarah flew 11 hours and then drove 45 minutes to an out of the way hospital to have a special needs baby. however, pulling her daughter out of school for 5 months, having her live with her aunt 45 minutes away and go to a different high school, and rushing back from texas after she got word that her daughter was in labor makes more sense. noone on her staff even knew she was pregnant? and she's a small woman so she's gonna show. come on. bristol had this first baby when she was 16 and is now on her second so levi would finally marry her. the medical records sarah won't release would clearly show she had no checkups for trig's birth since she was never pregnant with him.
