David Axelrod had started a rumor that Sarah’s 17-year-old daughter was the actual mother of the infant Trig Van Palin, saying that she looked more pregnant than did her mother, Sarah Palin. To counter this rumor, posted on the dkos web site and spread by the media, the Palins disclossed that Bristol Palin is pregnant and would marry the father and raise the child.

Do the media vultures lay off now? I doubt it.
