It looks like this is one Palin Deception that is not getting ignored by the media. Update!

As I  am sure most of us agree Sarah Palin pulled off one of the biggest hoaxes in political history right under the nose of the media and, except for a few sharp eyed bloggers, nobody ever really called her on it. (And the media still seems to be working overtime NOT to see anything suspicious.)

Then just last year it seemed that Bristol was able to become the first guest star EVER to gain a substantial amount of weight during her run on Dancing with the Stars, without the MSM reaching what seemed to be the most logical conclusion.

That, plus all of the lies that the Grizzled Mama told in front of adoring audiences, and printed in her ridiculous book, without suffering any serious repercussions, seems to have provided the Palins with a sense of invulnerability, and the idea that they can lie about pretty much anything and not become embarrassed about it later.

But then Bristol went just a little too far, and in front of the wrong kind of audience.

Bristol may have escaped harsh scrutiny during her stint on DWTS because she was new to the Hollywood scene, and people felt sorry for her because of who her mother was, but NOW the gossip sites and media outlets simply cannot ignore the newest attempt by the Palin gals to pull a fast one.

It seems that the Internet is lit up with speculation, and actual declarations, that Bristol has had some rather significant cosmetic surgery done to her face.

From the Daily Mail to the gossip site Gawker, as well as from the New York Daily News to US Weekly, everybody is wondering if, and of course why, Bristol has so dramatically altered her appearance

As I pointed out several days ago, I have a few theories as to what has compelled this young woman to reject the face she was born with and embrace an entirely new identity, but the real question to be asked is will she have the guts to step up and admit to going under the knife?  Or will she instead pretend that we are all foolish to trust out eyes, and that there is nothing different about her looks whatsoever, while relying on her mother's Winged Monkeys to attack those who dare mention the obvious?

By the way, now might be a good time to remember what Bristol had to say about Kathy Griffin's forays into plastic surgery only a mere three months ago:

"It's weird that she would pick on my weight. She's had botched liposuction procedures and stuff like that," Palin said. "It's just weird that she would pick on something like that for another woman."

Pot, meet kettle.  And remember the kettle has her own stand up show, and is always looking for new material.  Somehow I think Bristol might have just earned a mention or two. Don'tcha think?

Update: Okay so now we know the answer to the question "Will she have the guts to step up and admit to going under the knife?" Uh nope!

A source close to Palin insists to E! News that she hasn't gone under the knife and "isn't that kind of person" that would alter her looks with some help from professionals.

"I can tell you that she has lost a tremendous amount of weight since Dancing With the Stars and that is most likely the reason for the speculation," says the source.

If you were surprised by that I would like to take this moment to introduce you to the Palins, whose motto is "Why tell the truth, when you can lie your way through life?"
