You do realize that almost the entire article (and several others like it) went after her politics *eyeroll* politics </eyeroll> and this one comment was about her physical state? If you're all about bringing women up, great. But let's remember, this is a satirical blog, a Vile Little Snark Mob TM if you will; not an editorial network masquerading as a real news network, or a Fuck Face Von Clownstick masquerading as a political candidate. If this were a serious news source who used that phrase, I'd be surprised and disgusted at it as you are. But in this context, all things considered, it is not a misogynist dickwad move. You are butthurt over nothing.

Given the generally respectful tone of the discourse and the impressive vocabulary at play I have to say I think we've all been embiggened by this conversation. And your deployment of "misandry" is truly a drop the mic moment. (Golf clap) And I think you're right.

Good thing she had those miscarriages in Alaska and not Georgia, Miss Wasilla might be in jail for murder about now. And what about telling her car pool group she needed a week off after having her tubes tied after she had Piper Diaper? Yeah, lots of lies in this dumb family. No wonder Bristol, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, gets mixed up.

Twice?

And she wouldn't have been 'induced' in any case. If they tried to stop the labor, or if they let it proceed, Sarah was already IN labor. There are so many holes in her story I can't believe McCain and company bought every lie she told them.

Poor Michelle. Those are the only pictures of her, aren't they? I mean, the woman gave birth one a year just like the prized mule.

Yes, and none else notice how her 'I have to run, it renews me!' routine suddenly just stopped? Maybe it was after that marathon where she was floating off the curb, but she suddenly just stopped running. Who does that? Any serious exerciser keeps going unless they are injured or have some major life change. Sarah just quit. Oh.

No, I just feel sorry for old Ben. He seems confused.

There isn't any debate about this confusion, of one possible religious belief with a completely different one, among even minimally knowledgeable persons. The Immaculate Conception tradition is a completely different matter from the Virgin Birth tradition. That latter (V.B.) traditional belief is the one that you seem to be talking about, *not* the I.C. traditional belief.

Perhaps she intends to start a company that sells conversion therapy for Downs kids and Trig will be the spokesperson. Given the family he's growing up in there's an even chance he will be at LEAST as intelligent as his supposed siblings.

Immaculate Conception Porn is a niche market that she could really exploit.

Exactly. Let Jesus sort it out and accept "His" decision as to the outcome of your pregnancy.

A Palin lied, gosh that is hard to believe!

Yep, I pointed out the same thing farther down. The really telling aspect is that her story initially changed within a week of some nurses showing up on some of the anti-Palin blogs pointing out in detail how and why mat-Su would never have delivered that baby. This was right in the middle of her firestorm 2009 speechifying career. And it's not the first time that things pointed out on those blogs suddenly became part of Palin's script.

is such an amazing blend of arrogant and stupid that her own words convict her. My favorite two pieces of evidence are the "square belly" photo and video of her huge, supposedly pregnant self sitting in a metal folding chair with one leg folded up on her other knee and then casually and effortlessly bending over to pick her water bottle up off the floor.

Trust me. If any news outlet had been able to prove that Palin faked her pregnancy, that astonishing story would have resulted in about a billion more clicks than Palin was already getting. There really is no overarching media conspiracy here, folks.

Still not enough to legitimately prove that he is someone else's baby. To print something like that would be a massive libel suit.
