Wait! Sarah Palin showed her fabric covered stomach to TWO male reporters? Update!

From Salon.com:

Wesley Loy was a reporter with the Anchorage Daily News when Sarah Palin revealed her pregnancy in March 2008. The story that he wrote about her announcement -- which noted that many in the Alaska political world were surprised and didn't think that Palin looked pregnant -- is routinely cited by those who claim that Palin may have faked her pregnancy. Loy, who has never previously spoken or written about his own observations on this subject, has provided the following account of the Palin he saw and interacted with in February and March 2008.

Here is Wesley Loy's account:

To ask the question, I insisted that everyone in the room clear out, leaving just me and the governor in private. I didn’t want members of her staff listening in, and I didn’t want to embarrass the governor.

Palin honored my request. I asked her not to be mad at me for what I was about to ask, and her eyes seemed to twinkle with anticipation. No, she said, just come out with it.

As I recall, she just dismissed it as more baseless gossip about her kids.

Then she told me that some were even suggesting that she was pretending to have a baby as a way to cover for her daughter. She reckoned that notion came from a storyline on "Desperate Housewives."

This was the first I’d ever heard of what has now become, as we know, a national obsession for some Palin watchers.

Anyway, Palin said it was all ridiculous. Then she backed her chair away from her desk to show me her (covered) baby bump, assuring me that, yes, she was pregnant.

For an instant, I thought of asking her to let me see or feel her belly but chickened out (something I now regret, given how this thing has taken off so).

Seriously?  So Sarah showed two different male reporters her fabric covered baby bump, and we are JUST NOW hearing about it?  Where the hell have these guys been the last three years?

And she actually cited the "Desperate Housewives" episode, before any of us ever brought up that coincidence?  Is anybody else getting that same overwhelming fishy smell that is currently assaulting MY nostrils?

I am sorry, but the fact that two men saw a protruding, fabric covered bump is NOT conclusive evidence that Palin was pregnant.  Not even close. And yes Wesley, you definitely SHOULD have asked to see her uncovered stomach.  I assure you she would have refused.

Clearly Palin is deeply in damage control mode, which means the renewed interest in this subject must be driving her batshit!

Update: Joe McGinniss weighs in on this topic and offers the tease of more information to be revealed in his upcoming book.

Update; So I guess the question to ask Wesley Loy and Steve Quinn, is if THIS is the same cloth covered baby bump that THEY saw?

Is that a little hard to make out?  Here let me show you a lightened version of it.

There you go.  Wow, that is convincing!

This is why you do not send a man to check out a woman's fake pregnancy!

And for those who STILL cannot convince themselves that Palin fooled all of these people. perhaps you need to see this.



NOBODY knew she was faking it. And she let people feel HER babybump and they were still fooled!
