Lies: McCain claims he knew, Palin's spokesperson had no idea

Report: Palin's Spokesperson Didn't Know About Pregnancy Two Days Ago

By Greg Sargent - September 1, 2008, 1:10PM

The Anchorage Daily News, in its write-up of the announcement that 17-year-old Bristol Palin is pregnant, reveals that Sarah Palin's spokesperson didn't know about this two days ago:

The Daily News had asked Palin's press secretary, Bill McAllister, over the weekend to address rumors that Bristol was pregnant.
"I don't know. I have no evidence that Bristol's pregnant," he said on Saturday.

The McCain campaign says they knew about the pregnancy, but this suggests the possibility that they didn't -- and raises further questions about how thoroughly McCain vetted, and how much he knew, and knows, about the person he selected as his back-up commander-in-chief.


What's with all the lies?

3. I think the daughter's supposed pregnancy is a lie
Designed to try and throw off the media from the mounting rumors her daughter had already given birth to Palin's fifth child.

A month or two of her daughter staying out of sight, then a "catastrophic" miscarriage, which also helps with a sympathy play just before the election.

It sounds perfectly Rovian in its conception.
