Daily Kos currently has a blog post — they call them “Diaries” — up that claims that Governor Sarah Palin’s 4-month old baby with Down syndrome might be her granddaughter grandson. Evidently there is a rumor going around that the baby is Palin’s teenage daughter’s child, not the Governor’s.

They linked to an article in the Anchorage Daily News published this past March that broke the news that Palin at the time was 7-months pregnant. The problem was that she didn’t look pregnant. Supposedly her own staff was caught off guard by the news.

It states on Daily Kos that Palin’s teenage daughter was out of school and unseen by anyone for months because she had mono.

I’m somewhat surprised that this story would appear over on Daily Kos. I highly doubt the mainstream news will touch this, unless you consider the National Enquirer to be a member of the mainstream news media.

I’m not sure how Republicans or conservatives will respond to this rumor. Palin is extremely anti-choice. While running for Governor of Alaska, Palin stated in a debate that even if her daughter became pregnant in the result of a rape, she would “choose life”. I believe that is code for forcing her underage child to have her rapist’s baby.

That’s just plain nuts.

How would Governor Palin and her husband respond if their teenage daughter became pregnant?  Would they hide the fact that their teenage daughter obviously had unprotected sex and became pregnant?

The National Enquirer is reporting that John Edwards not only has a mistress, 31-year old Rielle Hunter, but also a love child with that mistress.

It would be easy to just dismiss the story as being nothing more then supermarket tabloid who-ha, but the National Enquirer is usually right about this kind of stuff. I can’t imagine the National Enquirer reporting this unless they had proof that it is true.

The linked article is funny in that it documents National Enquirer reporters confronting Edwards at a Los Angeles hotel at 2:40 a.m. Edwards was reportedly leaving Rielle Hunter’s hotel room. The article states that Edwards ducked into a men’s room until hotel security could escort him out and away from the reporters.
