I san easily refute every one of your clearly biased claims from memory. This is just another attack on a strong woman with strong beliefs. Would you like to see a treatise on Joe Biden's record? Or Barack Obama's?

The hilarious part of this is that when I started to read this I thought it might be an unbiased account of her years in politics.

Dinojim,

It is 2008. Who the fuck cares about “bad” language in an independent newspaper, particularly when it is properly used?

Language. What kind of news site is this. I am sorry but any news site that contains stories with the F word in the first paragraph is not worthy of the space it takes up.

We've been told that Bristol was taken out of school due to mono. However, two things I've read since lunchtime seem to contradict that: 1) Her Wasilla HS Assistant Principal said she had transferred to a high school in Anchorage, and he did not know why. Generally, if a student is removed form school for health reasons, arrangements are made with the school for alternative opportunities to get the work done; 2) I also read that she had stayed with an aunt while completing her spring semester in Anchorage.

Personally, there is nothing about Sarah's supposed pregnancy, and now Bristol's supposed pregnancy, that passes the sniff test. As a working mother who's also raised 5 kids, I'm concerned that Gov. Palin is using her daughter. ONly one picture has surfaced that showed Gov. Palin with a purportedly pregnant belly. That could have been accomplished with a pregnancy pillow. If my fears about her cynicism and manipulation are correct – and I hope I'm wrong, because if I'm right, God help poor Bristol – then Bristol could just as easily be running around in the same pillow. I've tried carrying a 5 month old while pregnant with another child. I can tell you from experience that I would not be standing around in heels, holding that child, for any length of time. I'd be in flats, and “dad” would be doing equal time.
