Blind Item #5 - Pregnancy Pact - A Birdie Blind Item

This former, foreign-born blogger was for a time in the aughts obsessed with the pregnancy of a certain high profile person. He believed the baby wasn't her own. As it turns out, he was right about that. You'd be wrong however to suspect, as he did, that it was about appearances (at a critical time). The real reason was the actual mother, who won't surprise you. Much like a certain character from a famous children's book twice adapted into a movie, she wanted what she wanted and wanted it now. This is to say "a better one." The only way she would keep the baby is if it wasn't hers. And so the plot was hatched, the pact made. Maybe I'm editorializing here but you have to be sympathetic to the fake mom and her husband. They were true to their values - even as it's come to mean a lifetime of sacrifice - and also good parents to their own kids. Sometimes, though, even good parents are unlucky. The more recent story, involving a son, is genuinely tragic.

  2. Really good guess, Cassie! The third is Bristol.

  3. So you’re saying Sarah made the child with Down syndrome appear to be her son when it was her daughter Bristol’s. Interesting. #abbeysupnotdown

  4. Ok so Bristol didn't want a baby with Down Syndrome and was going to abort? But mom said no, I'll raise the baby as my own?

    And so Bristol pulled a Veruca Salt tantrum and kept having babies till she could get a good one.

    Interesting.

  5. Great guess, Cassie. If it's the Palins the former blogger is definitely Brit Andrew Sullivan, former Atlantic blogger. He was beyond obsessed with the pregnancy around '08

  6. @Sara, I had to read it several times to make sense of it, but I think that's the gist. The line "she wouldn't keep the baby" refers to staying pregnant and birthing, not keeping and raising. So she was going to abort unless someone else agreed to take the baby as their own.

    Sounds like she has way better parents than she deserves.

  7. I read this as Kelly Preston and Travolta. with their son, Jett as the tragedy.

  8. How early in a pregnancy can you find out if your baby has downs?

    ReplyDelete

    1. In the aughts it would be in the first trimester but that only tells you if you are high or low risk. 18-20 weeks they can do confirmation testing. Now you can tell as early as 10 weeks.

  9. Is Bristol knocked up again? Who's the father this time?

  10. I had pretty much figured out all of this except for the final piece of puzzle where Sarah Palin puts her money where her mouth is about abortion and takes on a baby with Down Syndrome.

    Business Insider wrote two long articles about the Palin birth hoax seven years ago that were very convincing:

    http://www.businessinsider.com/sarah-palin-trig-birth-2011-4

    http://www.businessinsider.com/scharlott-sarah-palin-trig-hoax-2011-9

    So let's follow the next shoe drop: Enough people knew the truth of the matter that she was blackmailed into resigning as Alaska governor, 15 months after Trig's birth.

    And when you start to think about that, you realize that she did it to protect her daughter Bristol, not herself. Because Sarah Palin pretending to be the mom makes SP look great to the Republican base, the majority of independents and probably even some Democrats. It's her daughter who comes off looking selfish and terrible.

    This site is becoming more interesting by the day, and it was very interesting to begin with.

  11. This has "the White Precious" written all over it.

  12. Did something happen to Trig? Last sentence seems to imply it may have...poor babe. I STILL get hot-blooded when I think of Kathy Griffin posting that tweet insult in 2009 to Sarah Palin referring to Trig as her "r*tarded baby". Absolutely unforgivable, and IMO the reason why the karma train has mercilessly slammed Griffin again and again. Hopefully it keeps chugging along in her direction, as she deserves it for what she said about an innocent, special needs toddler.

    If this blind is true, then my suspicions about Bristol having some SEVERE issues would be correct.

  13. @DDonna Bravo! I love your posts.

  15. @yummyboogers- Nothing happened to Trig. The tragedy son (if this is about the Palins) is the oldest one who has been in the news more than once for domestic violence. One including hitting his own father

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think the tragic story relates to Track Palin if this is about the palins.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I thought we already new the baby was not Sarah's. Old news.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The Palin’s are good Christians. Dumber than a truckload of rocks and lying violent hypocrites , of course, but they believe whatever Christian scripture comes down the pike and that is all that counts. Praise Jesus.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The Palins have always been great people. And Downs babies aren’t “tragic”. They’re gifts

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes, the kind of great people where the son comes to the house all high on something and the parents have a gun ready to greet him.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think the "more recent story, involving a son," is about Track, who clearly has major issues.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I remember some whispers about the baby not being Sarah's, but I never heard anything else about it. The blind makes sense & if she was blackmailed into resigning because of it that makes even more sense. Sarah likes power & money. She would not have just quit being Governor.

  23. Birdie Blinds are so good ugh keep them coming.

  24. Very well done, Cassie!
    You guys are GOOD

  25. Andrew Sullivan for the blogger.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I always thought this was because Bristol wasn't married and was put into hiding while pregnant and Sarah faked her own pregnancy. Ho was only 14 or 15.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Good job, Cassie! I had to reread this several times to understand, but it all fits. The most recent incident is definitely with the oldest son trying to kill the dad. I give Sarah kudos for raising her daughters son despite the challenges, but I wish she would have held herself back from spouting so much intolerance and judgment of others during the campaign for their own choices for their families. If your own truths aren't laid on the table, keep the opinions to yourself.

  28. Palins = great people? wow, that's a load of bullshit.

    At the same time, there was a long article about them way after they left the spotlight, I think in the NY Times or The Atlantic, which made them a lot more sympathetic on a personal level to me. They don't belong in politics and shouldn't be allowed to have power over anyone else's life. But as a family, they are trying hard to keep the whole thing together under lots of challenging circumstances.

    1. Too bad the people of Alaska disagree with you and voted Palin as their governor! Get the fuck over yourself plot! Your grandiose posting is beyond nauseating!

  29. Jesus wanted the Palin’s situation to be challenging. Otherwise, he would have given them a rational neuron or two. But God works in mysterious ways. Who are we to question his holy plan for the moron Palins?

  30. @Unknown

    "Who the fuck are you to say someone doesn’t belong in politics."

    A human being with an opinion. That's how it normally works. What other scenario were you imaging?

    "You can run for any office you qualify for just like founders intended"

    The Founders intended voters to be restricted to landed white male gentry. Those running for office were likewise constrained.

    Do you really know the history of the United States of America?

  31. I thought everyone knew that Sarah Palin's baby was Bristols...

  32. Handicapped babies can ruin lives. I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to go through a lifetime of trying to make something work that doesn't work.

    While there are exceptions, the majority of people with Down's Syndrome cannot operate independently as adults.

    Trying to pretend that isn't true does a disservice to everyone dealing with this reality.

    1. Wow. As a parent and caretaker to a special needs child I find this particularly disheartening. Yes my child faces unique challenges and perhaps will never live independently, but he has brought more happiness and joy to our lives than words can express. I appreciate that some are unable to handle the reality of raising a child with special needs, but to act as if their lives are meaningless because they don’t “work” is disgusting. The irony is people feel sorry for us.

    2. Oh brother.. You're wrong hunter.
      They often have more fulfilling lives and very very often the families feel blessed by them.
      I suspect you've never even met a family with a special needs child

    3. Downs kids are the sweetest souls! I'd rather have downs kid then some smart alec disrespectful POS entitled brat.

  33. On what planet is Sarah Palin a "good mother" to her kids? She participates in late-night brawls at parties she is not even invited to and drags the kids and grandkids along like common gutter trash, and instead of insisting her son get therapy for the PTSD that caused him to threaten and beat his girlfriend, throws up her arms and blames Obama. All this ON TOP OF looking the other way while teenage Bristol sleeps with half of Wasilla.

    Good parent, my butt.

  34. The burden of a severely disabled child is a constant strain on a family. Downs is milder than some disabilities. Abortion is a choice not birth control. This is a really difficultg post because if it is about a perfect child it doesn't exist wed ALL have a defect.

    But the dedication, financial burden and strain upon a family with other children that are healthy is very stressful. Lots of marriages with handicap children end in divorce. Have you ever been in pediatrician's office that has disabled children? 99hhof time that child is with a single parent.

    As I stated before it's a choice and person/family knows what they can deal with. My heart goes out to any parent who cares for a disabled child.

    Sorry about long incoherent post. But in a post lij e this your opinions don't matter. The previous post does however need your opinion.

  35. The foreign born blogger being Andrew Sullivan...he was crazy obsessed with Palin's pregnancy....insanely so....

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes to all that, Ervin.
    I worked in a clinic that served special needs kids. The kids were beautiful and often full of joy (on good days. Bad days, stuff got thrown, clinicians injured, tears, all of it) but the majority of their parents seemed to have varying degrees of depression nobody was treating. Stress, financial hardship made more difficult in a state with fewer and fewer resources every year...

  37. Sarah Palin is weird and does not appear very bright. She shows behaviors associated with traumatic brainwashing conditioning, and she was hand picked by the excretable William Kristol to be John McCain's VP.

    Those are all bad things. But she deserves respect for what she did in this situation. We don't know what she's been through, we don't know what life is really like in that house. And she certainly has every right to pursue political office, even if she is almost certainly a puppet.

    ReplyDelete
  38. @Unknown I would APPLAUD anyone who chose not to have a child they knew they were not prepared to care for with everything they had every day for the rest of their lives. I know several who do it, and it's not pretty. It's just a whole lot of hard work, and if someone knows they can't do it who are you to judge them?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Actually, @DDonnaTartty, Palin was the opposite of a puppet. As governor, the oil companies couldn't wait to get rid of her because she was such a pain in the ass to them. She also lauded for her work across the aisle.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/06/the-tragedy-of-sarah-palin/308492/

    If she's guilty of anything, it was hubris. She should've passed on the offer to be Veep to an evil devil like John McCain. The scrutiny (remember people camped out outside her house, looking through her garbage?) was too much, the media were clearly looking for ways to destroy her. Irony though, her populism and the interest it generated from the middle class certainly presaged Trump's success in 2016.

    2. Actually more children with Down's syndrome are born to young women as opposed to older women. Older women have a higher risk for having a downs child, however more babies overall are born to younger women so just because of sheer numbers they have more Down's syndrome children.

  41. DCThrowback, I think that The Palin's(I always thought that Todd and Sarah Palin were "Co Governors" of Alaska.)were offered "Set for life" money In the form of a book deal, And a TV series(maybe) to accept the VP nomination....Now In my opinion the whole "Resignation" of the Alaska Governorship was simply about getting that money, The book deal In particular....Now I'm typing from Massachusetts, and I want to tell you and the Worldwide Crazy Days and Nights readership that If Sarah Palin wasn't picked for VP, The pick would have gone to Mitt Romney In my Opinion, and then Barack Obama would have won a Reagan style landslide say, winning 48 states or something like that, Why? Because before Palin was picked, There was no enthusiasm from the Republican base at all, I remember listening to radio programs noticing the lack of signs for John McCain for example....I'm worried about a comment limit, so I'll close with this, ,The Palin family, flaws and all were significantly better than the candidates of the Republican establishment had at the time, I hope that the Palin family are doing well, Thank You.

  42. @Rem Rem

    Yeah, she was governor for less than 18 months with her popularity sinking month after month. Palin knew she couldn't do it and the convenient resignation couldn't come fast enough.

    If she was fit for politics, where is she now?

    @bourque

    Except Palin proved herself to be incompetent in Alaska...
