Earlier this week the Daily Kos proclaimed that Republican Gov. Sarah
Palin was lying about
her newest baby–that indeed it was their 17 y/o daughter
Bristol’s. The purpose of course would to be to hide the fact that her
daughter
is unmarried. Now they admit Bristol is 5 mos. pregnant and will wed.
Gee…. Alaskan winters are dark almost 24hrs. What else is there to do? haha
But should the VP abandon her own child and family just to be VP?
Come hear the truth for yourself from the Editor of Daily Kos!!
