Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan blasted the MSM for failing to get the details on Trig Palin's birth. He concluded his post with "I believed then and I believe now that the MSM is too concerened with their own reputations and too deferent to power to even ask the questions. Which is another betrayal of their core purpose. And why they are dying. And deserve to."

"Too concerned with their own reputations"? Really!? Wow. I haven't noticed the MSM displaying a lot of concern with their reputation as they fawn and slobber over every move Obama makes. That doesn't do much, in my eyes, for their reputation as serious journalists, but as Sullivan sees it, maybe if they asked Sarah Palin about her uterus they'd be more professional.

I guess Andrew doesn’t realize that an older woman is much more likely to
give birth to a down syndrome child? What is his beef?

“...maybe if they asked Sarah Palin about her uterus “

They certainly can’t ask the O’zer about his testicles. They know he doesn’t have any.

The MSM should be so concerned about 0bama's birth.....

There’s a special place reserved in hell for people like Andrew Sullivan. I hope he turns his soul around and escapes it. But what he’s written about Palin comes from the depths of hell. He’s good on some other issues, but on this he’s a jerk of the first order.

I must be missing something. At first Sullivan was one of the idiots who thought Trig was her grandson. Now that it’s been disproved what is he ranting about now? What question is the MSM suppose to be asking?

The left has its own 'birthers' and no matter what kind of factual evidence is presented, they do no believe Sarah gave birth to Trig. They believe it was Bristol's baby and Sarah lied and said it was her own. Nevermind that Trig was born in April- the same month Bristol conceived her son. A woman simply can not conceive a child days after giving birth.

But facts are silly little things to these people. On the one hand, they cry foul when anyone has the audacity to question BOs birth, yet they insist on some Lifetime channel movie plot scenario for the Palins.

It is hypocrisy at its best. And stupidity- something the left has cornered the market in.

Andrew Sullivan is a deviant homosexual who does not tolerate people of traditional family values.

Simple stuff...

I cannot believe that a respected journalist could be so stupid.

Oh, yeah, Andrew. If I could pick one thing the press, heck, the media in general, has done wrong in the last year or so, the very first thing that would come to mind is that they’ve just been too easy on Sarah Palin and her family. Because they’re just so much in her corner and don’t want to put anything out that might hurt her career.

Riiiiiiight.

Sir, you are a glittering jewel, you are.

Respected journalist? Of whom do you speak? To my mind, there are none mentioned....

Yes, and they keep leaving out the most obvious evidence. The fact that Sarah was visibly pregnant with Trig and Bristol was not visibly pregnant. While you can fake a non-pregnant woman to look pregnant it is not possible to fake a pregnant woman to look not pregnant. They are so obviously torn by jealousy and hatred of the right, especially of a woman who has values.

I notice since the straw poll with Sarah pulling down 72% the attacks against her have again stepped up. The left must have sh** little green apples when that poll came out!

Actually, whenever the right questions birth place, the nuts on the left pull out the Trig card. Its the same ‘tit for tat’ crap they’ve been doing since Billy Bob was impeached.

Yes, does he think Bristol had both babies? A teenage girl has about a 1%
chance of a down syndrome baby.

This is Andrew Sullivan we're talking about. What does that notorious poofter know about conceiving children?

Sullivan is still beating this drum? So let me get this straight, it’s wrong for Sarah to “trot out” her daughters at the convention but it’s also wrong for her to have any privacy? What deep dark secret does Sullivan think he’s going to uncover here?

Remember, facts don’t matter to the left, including how children are conceived.

I think a teenage girl also has about a 1% chance of giving birth and getting out of the house to get pregnant again all in the space of one month.

“A teenage girl has about a 1% chance of a down syndrome baby.”

It's actually less than 0.1%. The chance of a 40-year-old woman having a Down’s Syndrome baby is about 1%.

thanks! anyway, i’ve always thought it was ridiculous that
people would suggest that Trig was Bristol’s baby. But these
are people who don’t care or know nothing about babies.

And I doubt that Andrew Sullivan knows very much about the process of making babies!

Why wouldn't Andy provide the details of his tryst with Obama? It must have been gay sex and I demand Andy's and Obama's medical complete medical records.
