Is Sarah Palin a grandma?
If this is true, she’s done. D-O-N-E done.
Update 1: Here’s a guy who fleshes out the birth timeline a little more.
In April, when she was eight months pregnant, Palin was at an energy conference in Texas where she was scheduled to speak. According to her own account, reported in Alaska newspapers, at about 4 am on the morning she was scheduled to speak she began to leak amniotic fluid. Nevertheless, she gave the speech several hours later then headed for the airport after consulting her Alaska physician who told her it was safe to fly. The flight from Dallas to Anchorage required a change of planes and she arrived approximately 12 hours later in Anchorage. According to Palin, one reason she flew home was her desire that the baby be born in Alaska. Upon arriving in Anchorage she traveled about 45 minutes to a hospital near Palmer where the 6 pound, 2 ounce baby boy was born early on the morning following the Governor’s departure from Texas.
…
It has also been floating in the blogosphere that Palin’s 16 year old daughter had, prior to Trig’s birth, been on leave from her Anchorage high school with mononucleosis.
I’m sorry, but if you’re 44 and pregnant, you and your baby are both at high risk. You don’t fly nine hours to attend a conference in Texas. And you sure as heck don’t fly nine hours back home after your water broke just so you can say your kid was born in Alaska.
Some investigative reporter is about to do what McCain apparently didn’t. Between this and Gustav, this is shaping up to be a very bad week to be a Republican.
