Have you guys heard the crazy but terrifyingly plausible story that Sarah Palin's youngest son, Trig, is actually her daughter's child?

That's what calendae said, I'm just secretly so pleased at what a juicy storyline it is... hot fresh mess!

Oh, I'm all for a hot mess, but this is just even lower than Daily Kos usually goes.

The trouble is that IMHO, the weird rumors about Republicans generally turn out to be true, while the weird rumors about Democrats generally don't. Not because our politicians are inherently better behaved -- I think John Edwards proves us out on that, but because Republicans have a highly developed smear machine while most Democrats generally eschew rumormongering as 'below them'.

I actually don't think this is true, based mostly on the fact that it makes more sense for a 44 year old to be giving birth to a child with Downs' than a 16 year old.

But on the other hand, I'd neither be terribly surprised if someone eventually digs up hard evidence. Seems like something the Enquirer is probably all over... about ten hours ago.

You don't hear about the Dems as often as you hear about the Republicans, simply because the media is biased toward the liberal.

You're right on this count.

I actually don't believe in Liberal Media Bias in the slightest. Most papers in America are right of center because the owners of the major media congloms know which side butters their bread.

Or in short: until any paper I read in the US is as liberal as the Guardian, I have to respectfully disagree. (But MSNBC is doing its level best to cancel out Fox.)
