Palin Seems to Misrepresent Timeline on Daughter's Pregnancy

Posted by Steve Chaggaris

On page 214 of her memoir "Going Rogue," Sarah Palin writs the following in regard to when the McCain campaign knew about her daughter Bristol's pregnancy:

"I was impressed with these guys. They were thorough. For example, they already knew that Bristol was pregnant, a development that I thought only loved ones were privy to at the time."

Yet Palin should have known the campaign was aware of the pregnancy by that point: She told the campaign's vice presidential vetters as much, in writing, far before she was chosen to be John McCain's running mate.

Palin and the other vice presidential short-listers were asked to fill out a written questionnaire during the vetting the process, according to a "senior official close to the vetting process" who talked to reporters on September 2nd, 2008.

Palin revealed Bristol's pregnancy on this written questionnaire, adding that she wanted to discuss the pregnancy orally with the campaign, according to the campaign official.

A written report, which included info about the pregnancy, was presented to campaign manager Rick Davis as well as McCain before the campaign flew Palin down for the meeting she describes on Page 214.

1. Do you expect anything in that "book" to be truthful?

[Arkana]

4. She's lying and she's damn proud of it.

The people who read it don't care if she lies because they worship at her altar.

3. I'm not sure it's deliberate; Palin's head is full of air, nothing more.

She probably gets lost on the way to her bedroom every night. How is she going to remember details about what was told to whom and when? "Brilliant" woman, my ASS.

[Raine]

6. Lying is as natural to her as breathing

I honestly don't think she can tell the difference. :yoiks:

7. Not the only contradiction:

Hannity & Colmes - September 17, 2008. PALIN: "It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes. Didn't bother asking my son because, you know, he's going to be off doing his thing anyway, so he wouldn't be so impacted by, at least, the campaign period here.

So asked the girls what they thought and they're like, absolutely. Let's do this, mom."

Oprah Show: "This time, there wasn't a family vote," Palin told Winfrey. "Other steps in my political life, I've polled the kids, and I have abided by some of the results of the polls that the kids have partaken in. This time, no."
