Sarah Palin Talking Nonsense on Medical Records

She's speaking to reporters in an attempt to clear her name. Here's one statement she made Sunday, about the gossip that swirled around her candidacy:

"Some of the goofy things, like who was Trig's mom. Well, I'm Trig's mom, and do you want to see my medical records to prove that?"

Um, yes. We asked for your medical reports repeatedly. Andrew Sullivan talked about little else for a while. You refused. Your campaign stonewalled. And ultimately all you did was pass around a letter from your doctor asserting you were in good health the day before the election. Are you serious right now?

She also said this in that article: "Just looking into the record. It was reported that I tried to ban Harry Potter when it hadn't even been written when I was the mayor."

The first Harry Potter book was written in 1997. She was mayor from 1996 - 2002. Just another thing to add to the list that she's ignorant about.

What is important is that she gets her story right by the time she runs for 2012.

It is unfortunate that such a rumor started as to who was the mother of Trig but it is more unfortunate that Sarah didn't just post his birth certificate rather than publicly throw her vulnerable daughter under the bus.

She doth protest too much. Or at least she refereth to it too much. Several weeks ago in discussing the release of her medical records, which never happened, she pointed out that she had had five children (that'll be there). Does she think we can't count to five? Why does she keep referencing the "goofy" rumor if it's not worrying her and why is it worrying her if it's untrue?

the thought of her ever getting close to being elected President is downright scary, whether it's 2012, 2016, 2020...ever!

Here's something told to me by my girlfriend, who did here phd thesis on down syndrome. I'm not sure if any of this is common knowledge though. You can get a test done early in the pregnancy to test for the likelihood of down syndrome. However, to get a conclusive result, the mother needs to have an amniotesis (spelling?) done at around 5-7 months I believe. This is coincidentally how long into her pregnancy Palin waited to tell people that she was pregnant.

Hmmmm.....

It takes a while to eradicate all old records and to forge and fabricate a complete and untraceable new medical records that could face the scrutiny of another presidential run!

There are several things that point to Trig NOT being her son. Not the least of which is the way she holds him; much the way someone holds a puppy; on her hip facing outward and flopping around. And she never looks at him or kisses him the way a Mother would. She seems quite put out by his presence. She sickens me.

I have been wondering...for some time...WHY..WHY? do we not impose some ...'technology' on candidates "statements" for example:

Voice stress analyzer? This ONE device could give us very profound insights into the "reality" beneath a 'statment' by a candidate for PUBLIC office...at the very least...especially..especially in the case of a MORON like Sarah 'Glory Hole' Palin...it would give them..'pause' before spouting their inane lies and slanders..because the THREAT of being..found out is a strong deterrant...I mean hey..that's why people like Ol' Glory Hole herself ADVOCATE for surviellance society for the public..'self moderation'...WHY? why is this not being implemented? and too...the good ol LIE DETECTOR..a galvanic skin response mechanism..hooked rigth onto the finger of a candidate as they give: Testimony (absolutely should be implemented in this case..)....and to when they are giving these excuses and obfuscations of the truth...a simple BEEPING would ensue...to ALERT the assembled.."journalists" that IN FACT...thee is "an attempt to mislead, or to conceal the truth.." being perpetrated on them...that way the 4th estate...oops..I mean the corporate 5th column...could relax and get the truth while STILL doing NOTHING...WHY?...WHY are we forced to simply accept..that what she say's..or anyone like her...has ANY merit? WHY? when we have the technology to at least make HER and her ILK...take a minute...maybe vn..gawd ferbid...tell the truth..VOLUNTARILY!
Sorry bout being emphatic..fer all you FONT NAZI'S...but i am pissed off about this..really pissed off...that we are forced...litterally..to give credence to LIES...and they are NEVER "Debated" on the spot...called out...maybe a machine needs to do the job for us...a ...'neutral observer'

I do think people have shown an undue contempt for Palin overall. I'm not exonerating her - there is a lot of arrogance, hatefulness and ignorance about her. Still, I think there has been a kind of glee at taking her down from some factions.
Okay, having said htat, here is a link to her interview on Fox. Obviously a clean up operation.
