Palin labor raises more questions than daughter's pregnancy

That Palin's daughter Bristol is pregnant is not troubling, and, as representatives from both parties have said, should be a private matter (were Republicans really saying this?).

What is troubling is the story (if true) of Sarah Palin's unbelievable irresponsibility in finishing a speech, flying from Texas to Arizona, and driving to a rural hospital to have baby Trig--all after her waters broke. Why was she even traveling from home in the first place? This is a large, wind-popped red flag.

(And I'm not saying I buy the conspiracy theory that Trig is really Bristol's son, that Sarah stuffed a pillow up her shirt or wore an expectant mother suit, etc. I am saying the story of Palin's jet-setting labor makes absolutely no sense, and if confirmed, should give us serious, long, long pause: If she can't even follow EVERY doctor's advice on the health of her own son, will she really care about a pesky lil' thing called the rule of law if she and McCain are elected?)
