Dishin' the dirt

[mamagotcha]

So... for some purely schadenfreudistic dirt, check out this accusation (thanks, gramina):

That baby isn't her's, but her teenage daughter's.

Pretty steamy stuff... but also pretty damning if true.

The biggest hole in her story for me: that her water broke and she had contractions for her fifth baby, over a month preterm, and did NOT see a doctor but instead boarded a plane for the 11-hour trip home. The coincidental removal of her daughter from school for "mono" for six months also stretches belief.

My geneticist husband says the nondisjunction rate for females is greatest at both the onset and cessation of menses. That means you have more Down's babies both close to menarche and menopause.

What's YOUR gut-level sense of this?

ETA: Wow. The hurricane is making the RNC postpone their festivities. I guess McCain learned his lesson. And with this potentially damning accusation that really should have been sniffed out by the 5-month vetting process... I'm thinking that the RNC isn't all that heartbroken about having national attention turned elsewhere. Still... you'd think they'd have been a bit more specific in their prayers.

ETA again: Wow! Now the DAUGHTER'S pregnant? Riiiiight.... whatcha wanna bet that her "pregnancy" is gonna "miscarry" soon... and that her currently kind-of-showy belly is really a postpartum belly?

I guess this is a wonderful example of the tremendous success of abstention education!

Wow wow wow. Curiouser and curiouser!

This is the kind of thing that I'd normally make myself try to ignore as a lunatic conspiracy, but I have to admit that if all those pieces of information (and photos) are really true, it's quite damning. I'm with you on betting that the next announcement is that the daughter miscarries.

On the other hand, I wish we didn't have to care about any of this, and that personal lives really could be personal. Good for Obama saying, "I think people's families are off limits, and people's children are especially off limits." Unfortunate that the media isn't set up that way.

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.
