Dear Sarah Palin: Re records, "birtherism" and ....

Don't you think it's time to unequivocally put to rest rumors about Trig Palin's birth?

Unless you can't?

Geoffrey Dunn is a credible person, and it's clear he's not wild-eyed about rumors that you're not Trig's mom. But, he notes carefully, given chance after chance for you to prove that you ARE Trig's mom, you fail.

Abjectly and utterly.

Per my own previous blogging on, and meta-investigating of, this issue, I don't think Bristol Palin is Trig's mom.

But, I do think, per a commenter on another blog, that maybe you were trying to induce "abortion through neglect."

I also think, per your rocky history with "First Dude," that, while you may well be Trig's mom, Todd may well NOT be Trig's dad.

That said, as Dunn notes, given chance after chance to set the record straight, to even tell a coherent story of the weeks up to Trig's birth, you've shown yourself both incapable and unwilling of doing so.

Is it any wonder that, as Dunn notes, even people with no political axes to grind, from pre-McCain campaign days in Alaska, simply find you unbelievable, i.e., incredible?

It's also sad that people like Justin Elliott and Dave Weigel just don't get it.

This is more than just "untrustworthiness." The way Sarah Palin has deliberately non-addressed this goes to the heart of her character.

Go here for my original main post on Trig's birth certificate, with later commentary.
