JUNEAU -- Gov. Sarah Palin shocked and awed just about everybody around the Capitol on Wednesday when she announced she's expecting her fifth child.

The governor, who recently turned 44, told a handful of reporters as she was leaving work to expect a new member of the first family, then headed to a reception at the Baranof Hotel to feast on king crab.

Palin said she's already about seven months along, with the baby due to arrive in mid-May.

That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who's always been trim, simply doesn't look pregnant.

NOT my fault.

Groucho Marx: "And how many children do you have?"

Woman: "Fifteen."

Groucho: "Fifteen!? My God, woman, don't you know when to stop?"

Woman: "But I love my husband."

Groucho: "I love my cigar, but at least I take it out of my mouth once in a while!"

"Governor, I've been very naughty and deserved to be spanked."

NOT GUILTY...and pardoned of any malfeasance while in office!

"Palin said she's not aiming to take any time off from her job as governor... She said when she had Piper -- Palin was mayor of Wasilla at the time -- the baby was born on a Monday and she returned to the office on Tuesday."

"To any critics who say a woman can't think and work and carry a baby at the same time, I'd just like to escort that Neanderthal back to the cave," Palin said.

Wow, what a woman...and a God-fearing Republican, to boot! Where do I sign up?

Right below the signature of her very large husband....

Hmmm...but maybe she has a twin sister...

[Revolting cat!]

Is the father known yet?

Come on people have some respect (and dont be totally crude like the Democrats)!

LOL! You GO, girl!

Is no one but me sad that this baby will be raised by day care? As governor she will have very little time for it.

No, her husband is taking time off from work to help with the kids. From what I read, the Legislature is only in session for 90 days of the year, and with the population of the state being so small, I don't think her job takes up THAT much of her time.

There is nothing in the Constitution that says a pregnant woman can’t run as a VP on the ticket with McLame.

Heck, by November the 8 month old unborn baby will be better in a debate than McCain himself. Plus, it would be 3 vs. 2.

She is due to give birth in May!
