The controversy arises from two sources: First, Palin does not appear
preganant in any recent photographs. The announcement came as quite a
shock to people who had worked closely with her, and have been quoted as
saying that she did not appear pregnant whatsoever during the prior 7
months. While this is debatable, you can judge for yourself here:

Second, Palin's daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high
school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has
been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono.

Apparently, this rumor has made the rounds in the upper echelon of the
Alaska legislature, and is a closely guarded secret. As far as I know,
this rumor has not been discussed by any media outlets, in Alaska or
otherwise.

The points here are based mostly upon hearsay, and I'm not trying to
destroy an innocent family. However, a Republican politician hiding a
pregnant teenage daughter seems rather newsworthy.

this is so old it calls for an Asshat!

Be Well.
