I think everyone's long decided that rumour had no basis in fact. You can let it go now Giovanni.
Jolisa obviously hasn't, seeing as she keeps banging on about it. And I would let it go if I could, except I appear powerless to stop myself.
I'm 48 years old. And even though I'll be 49 in two weeks time, I'm in my 48th year & have been since last September.
They stated that Bristol is five months pregnant, not that she's in her fifth month of pregnancy.

Giovanni needs a hug.
I do so need a hug.

No need for the strong language - I'm a delicate creature.
Not delicate enough not to lend rope to a whacky, anti-woman, disgusting piece of slander involving a teen, and to keep coming back for more after it's been disproven fifteen times in the space of twenty-four hours (what happened to yesterday's photo, btw, the one taken -according to Russell - in 2003, except it wasn't?), disputing what 'five months' means even though by any metric and pregnant-woman-speak variation it can't mean anything less than young Bristol giving birth, ovulating, bonking and getting pregnant in the space of one week.
Your suggestion that Palin should come to you with her medical records takes the cake. Why in the world would she do that? Why lend credibility to such a repulsive and completely unsubstantiated rumour? People didn't use to have to defend themselves against that sort of thing, not from our side at least. There was a threshold of whatchamacallit... decency, that made us not go there.
And besides, what good would it do? Good ol' Jolisa would quickly come to the conclusion that these records are not worth the paper they are written on, just like the opinion of her doctor on the risks she took flying home to have her baby are not worth the breath they were spoken with. And why not? Compared to the suggestion that they might be measuring Bristol's pregnancy according to the lunar calendar, this would be a fairly reasonable argument.
As NASA well knows, there's nothing harder than proving we went to the moon. And so it goes. Except I'm a lot less concerned about the hurt feelings of Armstrong et al. than I am about a young woman and frankly her mother too, who doesn't deserve any of this, not matter how much I might despise her personal politics.

Not Orwellian, just Gregorian vs Lunar. 10 lunar months. 9 calendar months + a week. Whatever, it's fungible enough for the purposes of the conspiracy theory.</quote>
You are fucking kidding me, right? You must be.

Um, but 40 weeks does = 10 months.
Sure. That's why November and December consist of six weeks each.
This thread is becoming Orwellian.

Well, yes, "if." It might be the truth, but we only have their word for it, which is worth the paper it's written on at this point.
Yes, of course, they're lying. It's a cunning plan, because then if she's really four months pregnant and she goes full term, she'll deliver at ten, or even ten and a half months, and nobody will find that odd.
I give up.

It's a mystery!
This is insane. If Bristol is five months pregnant, she can't have been Trig's mother, period. Contrary to what you wrote earlier today, five months doesn't equal 16 weeks, more like 21-22 from the beginning of the (hypothetical) menstruation before the conception, which means she would somehow have needed to ovulate as soon as Trig was born, if not before.
A governor who is pregnant is newsworthy by definition - it only happened once before, and in these wonderfully enlightened times it was never going to be taken well by her electorate. So she kept it hidden from the public and from her staff for a while. No surprise there, and well wihin her rights. She was also 44, so her chances of a miscarriage were pretty high.
Now the article you linked to was interesting and all, but for the left to be accusing McCain and Palin to be responsible for the dragging of Palin's daughter through the mud when WE ARE THE ONES who are still discussing the child switcheroo is absolutely crazy.

CBS poll with a comparison of before convention vs. after both VP announcements.
Difficult to disentangle the effects of the convention and of the VP announcements, of course. But here's the bottom line: Obama gains five points (now 48-40) and his lead among women is now 50/36 (up eight points).
It's only one poll, etc. Taken during a weekend, too, which is not great.
