Yesterday, Savage posted this over at the ol’ Slog insisting that people look into Trig Palin:
Sarah Palin has not released her medical records. The circumstances of Palin’s “secret” pregnancy and Trig’s around-the-world birth are bizarre in the extreme. And before Palin’s nomination turned pre-marital sex and teen pregnancy into virtues, the fundy governor of Alaska had a motive to pass Trig off as her own son. Now we could give Palin the benefit of the doubt here—indeed, she would deserve it—if everything else that’s come out of Palin’s mouth wasn’t a lie. She lied to the American people about the bridge to nowhere, divestment from Sudan, trade missions to Russia. Why should we take Palin’s word on Trig’s birth or anything else?
Check this out: It’s a list of babies born in April at the hospital where Sarah Palin claims Trig was born in April. Only Trig isn’t on the list. And check this out: when she ran for mayor of Wasilla, Palin demanded that her opponent release his marriage certificate. She wanted him to prove that he was actually married to his wife—because, you see, his wife used her maiden not, not her husband’s last name. For all voters knew, Sarah Palin insinuated, her opponent was living in sin right there God-fearing Wasilla. And living in sin and everything that goes along with it—premarital sex, children born out of wedlock—is just wrong. (Or was wrong—Bristol and Levi’s appearance at the RNC was a “game-changer,” as they say.)
I think this is a good point. Palin has lied, consistently and irrefutably, about many, many things. And sure—the dialog should center on what a despicable leader she’d make, rather than whether she covered up for her daughter’s pregnancy. But seriously. THAT BABY IS SOOOO NOT HERS. Read the Savage piece—I was too lazy to convert all of the hyperlinks.
Oh and—excuse the light blogging. I’m putting together the October issue, which is going to be just goddamn gorgeous. Believe me.

I’m with you, but doesn’t the oldest daughter’s current pregnancy preclude the possibility of her having given birth to the Trig?
Here are two thoughtful sites that are trying to collect and publish information on the (still open) question of who are the parents of Trig Palin:

(Oh, and the answer to the last post is “Only if you believe that Bristol is *really* six months pregnant.”)
