Either vice-presidential politics just got really ugly, or McCain did an astonishingly poor job of vetting Sarah Palin. Even respectable big-time political bloggers like the Daily Kos are spreading rumors that Sarah Palin isn't really the mother of Trig, the five-month-old baby with Down Syndrome, but rather the grandmother. Rumor has it that Trig is the illegitimate son of Sarah's oldest daughter Bristol, sixteen, who missed school for five months last year, claiming a bad bout of mononucleosis. The timeline of the pregnancy and birth are interesting, to say the least. The Daily Kos is a pretty much mainstream Democratic political blog, so it would surprise me if they published this stuff without some evidence to back it up. If this rumor is totally false, The Daily Kos will have more than just egg on his face, and he will lose all the credibility he's spent years building. This should be really easy for the McCain campaign to knock down, with hospital records and all, but so far, Gustav is consuming all the available news oxygen.
The Alaskan version of troopergate has some legs too. The Alaska Legislature is investigating allegations that Palin fired her Public Safety Commissioner for not firing the state trooper ex-husband of her sister, who has nine (!!??) kids. If nothing else, these women do know how to breed!
