They were off limits until they trotted out those kids as examples of her exemplary life and qualifications for office. If she lies about things like this to gain political power, then she cannot be trusted with that power.
Fortunately, I think the kids are going to be the least of her problems. The trooper thing, the secessionist group, and her desire to sue Bush for making polar bears endangered (and thus removing miles of tundra from drilling) are all going to be just plenty to take her down, I think.
And from a personal point of view... if the fifth kid really IS hers... someone who had given birth four times previously, with PPROM and contx, boarding a plane for an 11-hour trip... I'm sorry. As a mom and birth support provider, that's just bananas. That would be, at the very best, extremely poor judgment... and at worst, callous disregard for the well-being of her baby, and for the other travelers on the plane.
