One columnist tried to fabricate a scandal that Trig, Governor Palin's 5 month old son, was actually Bristol's and that Governor Palin claimed to be the mother in order to avoid embarrassment and save face

I thought this smear was started at KOS by a poster, hardly what I would call a "columnist"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I thought so too. I wasn’t able to pay close attention when this all started after McCain announced Palin as his choice. After the outrageous claims about the baby began, the mainstream media said Palin was at fault for bringing this on her daughter by accepting the offer of VP - when it was the left that started the rumor in the first place deliberately targeting her daughter!
