I suspect it is much ado about nothing, but I'd still like to see them sweat it. In fairness, at least two pieces of speculation in this story are either unsourced or incorrect.

First, Palin flew Alaska Airways. At least one contemporaneous news article regarding Palin's Texas to Alaska flight quoted an Alaska Airlines spokesperson as saying the company has no rules against pregnancy beyond a specific time. So she was not breaking the airlines rules.

The other item is regarding her daughter's prolonged absence from school. That I can't find any documentation of, outside references in blogs. And if I don't believe unsubstantiated rumors about Obama, it's only fair to require proof here.

That said, there don't seem to be any pictures of Palin visibly discernible as pregnant with this last child and several as late as 7 months into her pregnancy that show absolutely no bulge at all.

You know, if this rumor were about Michelle Obama, the Post would be all over it. I wonder if the Enquirer is...

You are correct. National ratings are only done for commercial networks. Hence, no PBS show is ever in the Nielson list. Even epics like "The Civil War".

Yeah, I'd already blogged on that. Also, 30 Rock guest star Tim Conway looks uncannily like McCain these days.

I tried to find a picture of Fey & Conway together. You could show it with McCain/Palin under the caption "Separated at birth?"

See my blog entry: McCain's veep is... Tina Fey?!?

I guess someone said "That 30 Rock is a real success " and he heard "Iraq is a real success".

Notice also how "30 Rock" guest star Tim Conway now looks a lot like McCain.

The ticket will now and henceforth be known as:

Whiter Shade and Palin

And the forecast for the GOP convention?

I love when God gives Bible thumpers the celestial middle finger.
