Jonathan Bernstein asks:
Sullivan believes that Palin's birth story for her youngest son is implausible. I think he has a good case for that, for what it's worth. As I've read over the last two years, I've seen three possible explanations. The first is the wild one, that the baby isn't really hers; she's covering for someone else's inconvenient pregnancy and has adopted that child. The second is that she was an irresponsible mother, and took terrible risks given the dangerous nature of the pregnancy. The third is that she made the whole thing up, or most of it: she invented a heroic birth story, and then wound up being stuck with it when she suddenly had a massively larger audience.
So. Let's say one of these is true. Why should I care?
I'm tempted to say that Sullivan owes it to us to explain what he thinks is at stake in the story of Palin and Trig, but I think that's not quite right. I'll leave it at this: as a regular reader, I would like to know what he thinks is at stake here. And I might even believe that he owes it to Palin and her family to explain why the stakes are high enough to outweigh their privacy. At least for me, it has to be more than just her habit of straying from the truth; we have more than enough examples of that.
These are excellent questions in an excellent summary of the options. Let me start with the obvious. If any of the three scenarios Jonathan has pointed out is true, then Sarah Palin has no business running for president and should never have been picked for vice-president.

a homo punk is worried about the Palin kids’ bedtime?
I can’t even bear to read this sh*t
Trig isn’t Sarah’s Baby? Next Sullivan will tell us that Laura and George are getting divorced because he saw it on a magazine at the grocery check out.
Sullivan is simply a muck raker who desires to do little more than harass Palin, while trying to discover the magic bullet that will , he thinks, destroy her.
The Dems are desperate to destroy her.She cannot be beat.
What is wrong with these people? Sarah is a bad Mother because she chose not to abort her special needs child? He is her child let it go.
And it makes the libs eyeballs explode. Good for Sarah.
He’s jealous..he looks at Todd and thinks to himself “How come I can’t get a guy like that” its typical jealousy..jealous of what he can’t have so he takes it out on Sarah. He’s a jerk and a weirdo..I’d keep small boys away from him just to be on the safe side

“So. Let’s say one of these is true.”
I see two possible interpretations of this passage. The first is a ham-handed construction of a false dilemma by a manipulative goon. The second is the puerile rambling of a mental deficient.
So. Let’s say one of these is true.
I have a hard time supporting anyone who was so in lockstep with McCain.
actually Baraq's kids look far more like Baraq than Chels Clinton looked like BJ and the MSM wanted none of that.
Look at the source. The Atlantic. They have NOTHING worthwhile in that rag to read. I know because I have a subscription, gifted to me by my 97 year old mother.
When it arrives, once a month, I rip my name label off the front and then drop it surreptitiosly in some public gathering place where there are magazines to read.
Just reading the headlines raises my blood pressure.
Sadly, points completely lost on Mr. Sullivan.
Only a truly deranged individual would think such a thing. I’d say Sullivan needs help, but he may be beyond help now.
Turkey baster.
grasping at straws just trying to come up with something
wow what a douche
Howie Kurtz? Could anyone need more evidence that Sullivan is in the later stages of syphilitic dementia?
Amazing! I could swear he was working in something there about Obama for a moment!
Andy needs to double his Midol.
She really must be invading his dreams, you know as the one who will beat the “won”? ;)
He also needs to get back on the Thorazine.
