It did not take long for people to discover the strange circumstances surrounding the birth of Sarah Palin’s youngest child, Trig, widely reported to be a Down Syndrome baby.

Ms. Palin only http://www.adn.com/front/story/336402.html">revealed that she was pregnant one month before his birth, when she was in her 7th month, and in the midst of a very busy schedule, with recent trips to Washington, DC and Los Angeles. She bragged about going back to work as a Mayor the day after giving birth to her daughter, Piper, and, sure enough, in April, when Trig was born, she was back in her office http://www.adn.com/front/story/382864.html">in three days (it might have been earlier, but this birth was on a Friday, so there was a weekend following).

That is enough to make many of us squirm, but it gets much stranger when we learn that http://www.adn.com/front/story/382864.html">Governor Palin’s water broke while she was attending an energy forum in Texas on Thursday, April 17th, but that she stayed for the event, made her own 30 minute speech, and then, rather than going to a hospital, she chose to board an Alaska Airlines plane for what must have been at least a 9 hour flight, according to their current schedule, then drove another 43 miles to give birth at the Mat Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer, Alaska.

Her choice to not respond to her water breaking has lead to an internet uproar at http://www.buzzflash.com/">www.BuzzFlash.com and elsewhere, especially regarding her priorities, her decisions, her parenting, and her character. . .

But to me, they’re missing the point.

I return to the question of why Sarah Palin was chosen by McCain, especially when he hadn’t even spent any time with her?

I asked this:

If a doctor was willing to lie about the mother, how do we know it's Downs Syndrome and not, say, some other type of developmental disability associated with a premie delivered by a teenage mother?

This child looks like a typical baby with Downs syndrome on the recent photos. Now looking at him I have no doubt the child has Downs.

Did she change clothes before she gave her speech - Squish! Squish!

Dear God, did I just say that?
