We got a 29-page paper by a Kentucky journalism professor a publicist was sending around early this week that purported to shed light on the truth of Trig Palin; that he is, in fact, Bristol’s son, which is a rumor that started at her high school and was then picked up by mean girl Andrew Sullivan. Now, COINCIDENTALLY, the Daily Mail is out with a photo they say was taken two days before Trig was born and shows a Sarah Palin as happily rotund as the people who buy her books. Is this the smoking gun? Of course not. If Sarah Palin gave birth to Trig, why hasn’t she shown us the placenta?
Robert Stacy McCain is FED UP. And he’s been thinking a lot about Bristol Palin’s sexy celebrity ovulation cycle, which was on Dancing with the Stars:
But it is ludicrous to suggest that this could explain Trig and Tripp as both being Bristol’s babies: At a bare minimum, allowing just two weeks after an April 18 childbirth before she again ovulated, this would put the second conception date no earlier than May 2. A second baby born Dec. 29 would make the gestation period for Tripp just 241 days — more than a month premature.
How many 34-week babies weigh 7-and-half pounds?
As if this were not in itself ironclad disproof of the Trig-Truther theory, there is still the matter of Trig being born with Down Syndrome and, as I first pointed out on Sept. 1, 2008, this is a condition closely correlated with advanced maternal age. At age 44, the odds of Sarah Palin giving birth to a child with Down Syndrome were 1-in-140, compared to 1-in-1,400 for a woman under age 25.
Palin’s hated author neighbor Joe McGinnis gives perspective:
Hey, none of the pictures of Sarah pregnant-or-not with Trig is the Zapruder film. None of them proves anything. At most, people can use them to support the opinion they already have. I just learned today, for example, that a couple of Brits spotted about-to-be princess Kate Middleton’s face on a mango jelly bean. Truth is as the eye of the beholder sees it.
The insanity of Sarah Palin is only as limited as our imagination. That’s a beautiful thing. [Daily Mail/The Other McCain/Joe McGinnis]

See? Both sides have birthers.
But of course, there are no high-profile liberals who publicly buy into the Trigg-birtherism, unlike the Kenya-birtherism. Note: Andrew Sullivan is not a liberal.
So vote Republican
No births reported in the Mat-Su valley the way triG was "born".
Show us any state-issued BC.
Also, google "triG palin ears".
And here I thought I would be able to get through life without ever having to know anything about Bristol's ovulation cycle.
I agree, if Bristol doesn't know then why should we?
Egg goes out, fertilization goes in — nobody can explain it.
So, she really was just stunningly irresponsible after her water broke. Good to know.
Well, when one doesn't believe in abortion….what ya gonna do????
Obama's knee is visible in the background.
That is not his knee….heh, heh!
Again, where's the circumcision certificate?
Paternal DNA or gtfo. That'll get the trailer park ball rollling.
You'd have a better chance of getting at the gold in Fort Knox.
I WANNA SEE DA BARF CERTIFIKIT!!!!!!!!111one!!
Vomitorium!
(Seriously. Go see Hanna. Excellent film.)
Can she prove that she never had a Pregnancy Certificate?
I didn't think so.
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING??!!??
As much as I can't stand the frickin woman, this crap just has to end. Yes, she put a talk in Texas before the health and well being of her baby. She is a bad mother, a vindictive bitch, a money grubbing grifter, and just plain stupid, but she did not fake the birth of that baby.
Yes!! Coming out of lurkdom to say THANKS for saying what I've been wanting to say for a while now! I hate Palin with the heat of a thousand suns, but I don't think even she would stoop that low.
*scuttling back to lurk-town*
Worst of all, there is no reason for her to stoop that low. It's not like having a baby out of wedlock carries any sort of stigma for that family. Nor does:
- selling drugs
- ginning up lies to get one's former brother-in-law fired
- cheating on one's spouse
- running up the credit cards of the RNC and several of their employees
- being caught lying time and time again.
Well, 'zackly…
What kind of übergrifter idiot gives a stupid speech, then gets on a transcontinental commercial flight, with a layover, multigravida, in her 8th month of a high risk pregnancy with ruptured membranes and admitted labor? Only to land in Juneau and drive a couple hours to the fine Wasilla General Hospital, which routinely flies it's high risk pregnancies elsewhere?
And if she did deliver en route, it would have been the greatest story since OJ. Governor Legs akimbo, long form placenta, blood, shit, meconium — first class was never supposed to be like this. Flight attendants using plastic knives as forceps. The other passengers in awed horror, unable to use their cell phones to call anyone, but the video would be worth millions.
You probably mean Anchorage. Hard to drive anywhere from Juneau, except Thane and Auk Bay as there are no roads.
Party pooper!
For me, even if it's probably not true, the evidence for Triggerism is a perfectly snarky parody of birtherism, thus very entertaining.
Thank you. While I was glad that no mainstream liberal or Dem ever publically bought on to it, I was very angry to see many of us laypersons even consider it. It was just so fucking stupid and insulting and self-degrading.
Geez, that does look 'shopped.
Why is all the suspicion on Bristol? What about the other daughter, Piper (?) … whatever the girl's name is. You know, the mean one that video last year showed sneering with here mom at the "teacher."
That WAS Bristol. She appeared later in that not-so-real Palin reality show wearing exactly the same outfit.
Zapruder film, eh? I always knew there was more than one "shooter" involved in this. And has any light been shed of the Palin Hookworm Conspiracy? 'Cause I heard she had 'em, somewhere. Also.
I guessing the "Zapruder" film would be Nailn Palin.
Hey, man. "If there's grass on the knoll…"
The Palin Hookworm Conjecture was brutally suppressed by both the scientific and media communities who realized the capacity of this parsimoniously devastating theorem to tear asunder the very fabric of modern industrial democracy.
Surely there must have been someone in the delivery room at the local McDonalds that could have witnessed the live birf? The dishwasher doesn't have an overly taxing position.
Finally. Let The Blaming of the [Correct] Shrew commence.
Out, damn'd shot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky.—Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our pow'r to accompt?—Yet who would have thought Bristol had it in 'er?
By my penny of observation!
What of love's labors lost, if accurate detail about the actual one in labor was never found to begin with?
Who gives two shits either way. Just another loser to the snowbilly loser tree regardless.
So the truth is either that Sarah is irresponsible and made really stupid decisions after she went into labor, or that Bristol is a sex-crazed horndog who irresponsibly had unprotected sex.
Since they're both probably true regardless of who had the baby, can't we just call it a day?
Wow.
Exactly.
Ding. She admitted in her book that she consider aborting it/him.
Quote plz?
Sperm goes in, baby comes out. Who can explain it?
Bill 'the wave' O'Really?
Certainly not Bill O'Reilly.
Falafel goes in. Falafel goes out. Who can explain it?
No one taught in Texas public schools, that's for sure.
"There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. "
I prefer the days when crazy people made conspiracies about UN Maps and Occupation Zones on the back of Kids Cereal and black helicopters and how man never landed on the moon. At least those were interesting.
I blame TLC and their evil baby cannon spawn shows for causing crackpot conspiracy theories to turn into plots from their shitty TV shows
Remember when some of the stuff you learned from watching The Learning Channel was stuff you might actually want to learn?
I also remember when MTV had music videos.
I'm not convinced that she is pregnant in this photo. She looks more like her stomach is sticking out because she is convulsed with laughter, possibly over the idea that someone took her seriously as a VP candidate…
Remember the fashion for pregnancy pillows?
How about having a judge threaten to saw SP in half to see if Trig/p protest? If no response, then we'll know both of these babies were born to Tawd's hookers.
I heard Trig's father is really Malcolm X.
Trig is so obvs a muslin from Kenya. It's black and white plain to see.
wow and this report come from a red state like Kentucky,,, i guess we misunderestimate Southerners' intelligence
On behalf of all re-re Southerners, no, no you didn't.
Tell her to do the mathemetician-work it out with a pencil.
Where's the physician's notes on the live birf?
Bristol and Sarah don't have regular ovaries. They have on-demand egg launchers; maybe something like PEZ dispensers with Jesus heads that kick out meth tablets.
Whatever! Let's just hope that neither one of them ever breed again. We don't need more evil spawn in this world, especially when we are told on good authority (Faux Gnus) that someone with removable horns lives in the White House:
Give me the new TV Guide
And get off the phone
Go on and take sides–not my problem.
Waiting for worlds to collide in the comfort of home.
They say "Lucifer's free"
What shall we do?
Don't ask me.
well i don't know anything about this, but i do know that is a god awful combination of clashing pregnancy colors.
no wonder she needed that Neiman Marcus make over.
Well the people who constantly talk about their babies usually actually raise them, unlike Sarah.
If a 34 week old baby leaves Chicago at a speed of 45 miles per hour and has 2 gallons of fuel (each gallon yielding 25 miles) how long before we can tell the color of the vehicle it is driving???
T
Trick Question. Everyone knows all 34 week old babies are aborted by Planned Parenthood!
Only 90% of the time.
But then the African swallow's not migratory.
But there's also Bristol and Willow.
I believe if we settle that the bar for existense is "I think, therefore, I am" then the Palin clan just does not exist and we are dreaming some wacky collective dream.
Just be careful when dreaming that you don't put Descartes before the hearse.
Fridge brilliance.
I'm kind of pissed at that Kentucky professor for giving the shrew a chance to play the victim yet again.
That's her baby-bumpitt.
Don't tell Limeylizzie, but I love you!
We've discussed it and we both love you back.
I love you both, it's cool.
If a Palin pops out a carpet critter in the Alaskan forest and there's no press to cover it, does anyone really give a shit?
Judging from the way she drags the poor child around, not dressed for the elements, and past his bedtime, she certainly doesn't give a shit.
It's a prop, not a child.
Andrew Sullivan?
Am I the only one having technical problems in this thread? I keep getting logged out and when I get back in I get "reply/span" on the reply button.
"Tis the work of the Vixen, forcing us to share the pain of her unending victimization.
The best part about this story is that as long as Sarah stays out of politics, I don't care if she has slave girls carrying her ovaries to term in her basement — she's just as qualified to post on Facebook as any other basket-case conspiracy theorist self-aggrandizing idiot.
But of course, there are no high-profile liberals who publicly buy into the Trigg-birtherism, unlike the Kenya-birtherism. Note that Andrew Sullivan is not a liberal.
He's gay, which is de facto lefty.
I am not satisfied until Maury Povich hires a team of investigators to go to the pretend state of Alaska and researches this.
Surely her neighbors are willing to denounce in exchange for 15 minutes on TV?
Would YOU want to have a horde of angry Palinite teabaggers picketing your house?
I know I know I WANT to say this is all bs and I'm too intelligent to think about all this and I will not be a libtard birther. But she really does refuse to show the birth certificate. And it's really annoying because if she would just do it then I could stop wanting to scream SHOW ME THE BIRF CERTIFICATE!!!!
Also, Willow is the mother, also.
That's an M. Night Shyamalan level twist, right there.
This looks shopped.
How about these two, screen captures from a video done in late February 2008 (Palin was allegedly 6+ months pregnant)? http://bit.ly/geeN9K
and http://bit.ly/hq0Wkv
You can find the original video here: http://www.alaskahdtv.com/2008/juneau-hike-with-s...
Look more closely starting about 03:00
How about this screen capture from a video done about 2 weeks after the AlaskaHDTV one? http://bit.ly/gjS1i6
You can find the original video for this interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mc943ltXMQ&fe...
Note that the allegedly 7-months' pregnant Palin is able to wear pantihose, high-heeled boots, AND cross her legs and lean forward in her chair and answer questions without shortness of breath! Surely a first in the annals of pregnancy miracles!! http://bit.ly/fqfZ3v
And what about this screen capture from a video done 10 DAYS before Palin allegedly gave birth? http://bit.ly/gwPTxC
The segment of the video that shows Palin's slim figure, and getting up from a chair with no difficulty, starts at 01:17. http://bit.ly/flMW2w
Prune juice and/or mineral oil.
(Parenting is ridiculously easy.)
Wait, wait! I have it! Bristol carried the baby for 34 weeks, then she put it in her Mom. Ah the beauty of the simplicity.
Next: Origin of the Universe?
If you grew up getting the tinglies in your groinal region while watching Barbara Eden in I Dream of Genie and Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched, the updo evokes a far off memory of a more innocent time of groinal tingling, humping the couch, and such things.
Mary Tyler Moore in The Dick Van Dyke Show and Barbara Feldon in Get Smart also, representin' the brunette side of things.
Suzanne Pleshette as Emily Hartley or GTFO.
Katey Sagal as, well, any character. When I saw her playing Terry O'Quinn's wife on Lost I almost lost it. I loved the show, before, but that was a pleasant surprise.
Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. No more to be said.
Funny, you mention two other fantasy figurines with magical powers.
That was cold, wasn't it?
But awesome!
I put a sticky thumbs-up on it to hold it down.
We've been duped. BOTH Sarah and Bristol gave birth to him.
They do not fork 'cause the siblings are too busy spoonin'.
Neither Tripp nor Trig will not be able to run for president in Arizona due to their new birther law. That's really too bad.
With a bit of Buffalo Bill's basement in Shithole, Ohio thrown in.
???
I thought Shithole was in Missouri.
Of course there's always the possibility that that's a pillow under Sarah's shirt and it's Willow, who is the Mother of Trig.
That's what I thought too.
Yes!! Gawd, don't you people watch Desperate Housewives?!
I've seen it played out in real life, too. Not sayin' $arah did that, just sayin'.
She was magically impregnated by Trailer Park Jesus and gave birth to the future leader of the Tea Party who will lead them all to salvation, or the nearest Walmart store, before being tragically killed in his prime by a three month old 7-11 hotdog thereby absolving the Tea Partiers of their stupidity.
And yea they shall all rejoice and ride scooters and there will be much shooting of guns and eating of double bacon cheeseburgers.
Hey, we fork all the damn time. Just the other day me and my brother…oh, I see what you're driving at.
Additionally, I don't care if the kid is hers or not. I just want to know who the fuck is taking care of the child. A good politician makes a horrible mother, and a horrible politician makes millions on FUX Views.
I don't give two shits about whether she had Trig or whether Bristol did or whether it was her husband's mistresses' baby or whether it was her son's girlfriend's baby or whether she made the whole thing up, wore a pregnancy suit and then stole a baby from the nursery for attention.
The woman is obviously ignorant, lazy, unqualified, unconcerned with policy or the public or anyone not her and capable of great injustices and outright lies when it suits her ambition – to make lots of money while doing nothing. She has proven this time and again by her actions as governor, on McCain's campaign and since. Those people who are determined to like her no matter what will not believe this rumor/conspiracy theory/whatever no matter what. And those who pay attention and see her for what this is will point to the numerous things already well proven and documented as fact, not conspiracy, as to why they don't like her, don't trust for her and don't vote for her. This makes the liberals look as petty and childish and ignorant as the Obama birthers – when the woman isn't holding office.
Some of the people who don't like Obama don't like him because he is not fiscally conservative enough, or they disagree with his policies, certainly. But there is a large faction among them who dislike Obama because he is black and his name sounds foreign and he is DIFFERENT (ie, scary). But (while they might hint at this through African Lion posters and white house watermelon patch emails), most know they can't just go around saying they don't like a perfectly qualified man because he's black. So they invent this conspiracy theory, which they think gives them a LEGITIMATE reason to dislike him, to not vote for him and to discuss his parentage and OH NOES AN AFRICAN.
There are far too many legitimate reasons to dislike and question Palin. Please don't make the left look as foolish and childish as the right with this crap. Of course, the woman is manipulative and needs as much attention as she can get. Of course she lies and exaggerates to get that attention. That's nothing new. This is just beneath the left and I'm tired of hearing about it.
I didn't realize there would be so many…….words involved.
i missed something apparently. i thought our conspiracy was sarcasm. to show them how stupid their conspiracy is. isn't that why people are calling for long form birf certificates and the like?
"…beneath the left…"
Ye gawds, aren't you being a bit hoity-toity, to quote the Tundra Turd herself?
I'm afraid I didn't get issued the memo that says Dems, left-leaning Independents and progressives couldn't do a decent job of investigative journalism, especially if it involved getting down into the cesspool of Sarah Palin's family issues and the corrupt former Palin administration.
I really hate myself for thinking this, but she's pretty cute in that pic.
Something about her silence, maybe?
Show us the fetus certificate!
Maybe it's time to do some retaliatory breading.
The breading is okay, as long as you stay away from adding egg to make it stick. It's once you do the deep-fry the little twerps that parents tend to get a little unhinged.
Breeding Breading …. what ever
A typo is transitory, but a chance to be a dick to someone over the internet (yes, I know, Internet should be capitalized . . . ) is forever. But I love the image of freshly breaded, and about to be deep-fried, infants. Must be what makes me such an awesome parent.
It could be more than just a typo…. I knew I was getting old when I woke up from a very vivid dream and realized I had been dreaming of bread.
I wanna see the longform placenta
I like that name. Let's go with it.
The most damning piece of evidence that Scharlott brings to the table in his "essay" is the fact that the supposed "Doctor" used the passive voice the describing Trig's birth. I think the passive voice was also used to prove that 9/11 was an inside job, or something.
"the supposed "Doctor" used the passive voice the describing Trig's birth"
"Babies were made."
This will make for an awesome episode of Maury.
Oh, Wilbur!
Facts and logic have no place in American politics.
Look, I'll believe whatever you want me to believe, just please stop making me think about Sarah Palin's ovaries.
What I want to see is the next 500 years without a fucking mention of any Palin other than Michael (other than the obituary, where it is reported the entire Alaska Palin clan died in a tragic meth-induced "snow machine" accident. And snow machine?- that's something used to create snow on a ski slope. It's a motherfucking snowmobile you ignorant fucking fucks!!!!!ONE!!!!1!!!.)
I saw that mango jelly bean on the news, it could be any young woman…
We all know life begins at conception! Conception proof! We need pix of the conceptions, in color, please. With some sax music, and maybe a toy on the butthole at the same time, and, and, I'm commmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg!!!!!!
OJ, 9/11, the Trig Hoax…is this a great country or what?
They rise and lower with her moods, like a cat's ears.
In America, no.
"the one good thing about Sarah Palin might be that I bet she doesn't talk exclusively about her babies"
"So then my friends said they wanted to see the baby, so I had the servants bring it from wherever it is they keep it"
"I want to hear pregnant pauses"
I hear what you did there.
I want to see a proof that Bristol was not in Kenya when Trig was born
'… that purported to shed light on the truth of Trig Palin; that he is, in fact, Bristol’s son, which is a rumor that started at her high school and was then picked up by mean girl Andrew Sullivan..'
—————–
TO JACK STUEF:
Unfortunately it seems like even Wonkette has fallen prey to the theory that Professor Brad Scharlott pointed out in his paper — that the media, mainstream and otherwise, has participated in a "spiral of silence" regarding Sarah Palin's fake pregnancy rumor, in not investigating it like more worthy investigative reporters in earlier generations would have done.
This is another poorly written, poorly researched article, almost as pathetic as the one done by Justin Elliott at Salon.com which was rife with ignorant assertions..
No, Professor Scharlott did NOT say that "Trig Palin… is, in fact, Bristol’s son, which is a rumor that started at her high school" as you erroneously report above.
Maybe you all should read what Professor Scharlott really DID say, here: http://www.lauranovakauthor.com/1/post/2011/04/sa...
I wonder when Trump will request the birth certificate for trig
Can't believe it. Photoshop availability + high-profile person = no sale.
Genetically plausible. Although I knew someone who was the product of parents who were fraternal twins, and was perfectly fine. (aside from being an incurable prankster)
At least it wasn't cake. As in, let them eat . . .
