In proper fashion, the media acts like its not going after Plain while running stories like this one that give credibility to stupid rumors. Notice the difference in how the media acted when they were Obama rumors. They worked to downplay or dismiss them, not perpetuate them.

The Authoritative Trig Palin Conspiracy Time Line
by Vanity Fair
September 5, 2008, 12:20 PM

The McCain campaign won’t countenance it, and Barack Obama has even declared it off-limits, but the question of Trig Palin’s parentage—whether his real mom is Sarah Palin or her five-months pregnant, 17-year-old daughter Bristol—has transfixed the blogosphere. To settle the matter once and for all, VF.com presents this handy timeline juxtaposing both the official narrative and the wingnut conspiracy theories. Vote for the most likely scenario after the jump.


They than have a timeline that lays out why you should beleive in this rumor. Along with lots of supporting comments by the readers. How long until CNN spends an hour revisiting this story?

Probably not long, since McCain kicked the press off his bus and has said his VP work wife isn't allowed to talk to the press until after the election.

Yes, he said that. You can't vet my veep, I am a vet! And did I mention a POW?

He's confident she can lead or stare down Iran, BUT NOT CONFIDENT SHE CAN TALK TO SOLEDAD?

Barf.


Please, provide a quote from ANYONE saying Plain wasn't talking to the press till after the election? They are being cautious and for seemingly very good reason. The same way Obama was about going on Fox.

Its just more election tabloid trash to divert attention away from issues that are far more important.

Its best to leave those rumor filled tabloid papers at the check out counter.

Cheers!!!


Yet, when the rumors were flying around about Obama and not in ANY media reports. Everyone acted like it was a dire sittuation that needed to be headed off. Now these rumors are actually picked up by the media and were supposed to just forget about it. I love the double standard.

I don't think shes done an interview yet. Thats not what you claimed. You claimed McCain said she would never do an interview.

Tell me, why wasn't the media worried about Obama gong on Fox? Why isn't anyone pressing Biden to do interviews? He went almost 2 weeks without talking to anyone!

Anyway, nice attempt at a thread hijack. Could you try to stay on topic?

Just a McCain aide said it on TV. Not McCain. Remember, he won't talk to the press anymore either.

"A John McCain campaign aide tells Jay Carney that she sees no reason why Sarah Palin should have to answer reporters' queries: According to Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign, the American people don't care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy. According to Wallace -- in an appearance I did with her this morning on Joe Scarborough's show -- the American people will learn all they need to know (and all they deserve to know) from Palin's scripted speeches and choreographed appearances on the campaign trail and in campaign ads."

Sorry, I don't know how to blockquote and make stuff pretty here.

You know... I sympathize with you on this. But I'm actually not sure what I believe. The "rumor" isn't put to rest as far as I'm concerned. But it just doesn't matter. It's a family matter and none of our business. But it's easy for me to believe that Trig is Bristol's baby.

It just doesn't matter.

I agree, Leo, it's has Karl's sticky fingerprints all over it.

I really don't want to see you ranting anymore about Obama "emails and rumors" like you usually do. Its obvious your all about the, "do as I say, not as I do" tactic.

I agree, Leo, it's has Karl's sticky fingerprints all over it.


Oh what tangled webs you guys weave.......

I think Trig's father might also be put into question depending on how this plays out in the National Enquirer:
Palin and Secret Lover

Either way, the circumstances around her 'hidden' pregnancy are what caused the fervor over Trig. She apparently did everything she could to hide the fact she was pregnant until the third trimester. Since the American public still knows very little about her, and she is running on a platform of 'Strong Family Values', the questions are in no way 'out of line'.

Neither is questioning her platform of Abstinence and a pregnant teenage daughter. While there is the silver lining of the daughter's engagement and lack of 'teen mom abortion', it totally skirts the fact that while Palin was at work as Governor, her 17 year old got knocked up, and now has a much steeper climb in life. If Palin had supported comprehensive sexual education, her daughter would have been 'allowed' the choice of birth control, even if that 'protection' was only a condom.

I am sorry, but the lack of information in the public awareness combined with the lack of access to Palin in the media makes me completely reject her ticket as a candidate for my vote. I was unsure for a while about her, but the secrets that keep coming out about her, and the way the secrets are being handled sickens me. I was born and bred a Republican. I have packed away my first Christmas ornament of with a Republican elephant. Bush I soured me, Bush II took me off the reservation. Ron Paul inspired me, and now the McCain/Palin ticket has me looking elsewhere with my votes. I believe that my Party has completely lost their way.

Some around here think that I am in the tank for Obama. I must admit that his candidacy has inspired me in ways that the McCain campaign has come anywhere close to achieving. The choice of Palin is not 'historic', it is trivial. Ferraro was historic. Clinton as well. Her choice was nothing more than pandering by a party scrambling not to lose to Obama. Sure, she has invigorated 'the base', but not the real base of the Republican Party. The base she has invigorated is the Dominionists and Born Agains that are working for armageddon. In addition to 'the base' of Christian extremists, I imagine that Palin as VP would also invigorate 'the base' of Extremist Muslims that would kill her in the street for her own Vanity. Fair? Not at all...

But worrying about whether or not Trig is her baby, her daughter's baby, or even her secret lover's baby is a moot point.

Especially when 'the base' translates in arabic to 'Al Qaida'.

Palin is a terrible choice as VP. If only for the fact that the United States has so many issues going on in the Middle East. While her beauty and outspoken nature will not win us many Arab Allies, I am sure the hockey moms are eating it up.

Maybe if she were ugly, then she would be a better choice.
