This was sent to me yesterday by our friend Professor Scharlott.
I guess those who believe in Palin's immaculate deception might simply suggest that Demi Moore has padded her self to look bigger, except of course where would she put it? Now THAT is a woman who would not have had to show her (covered) baby bump to prove she was really pregnant.
Seriously, who in their right mind cannot put these clues together?
Update: Newly corrected composite photograph has replaced original. Thanks Professor Scharlott!
And, if anyone would have had tight abs, it would have been Demi. She has always been in fantastic shape. Demi was also much younger than Sarah when this cover photo was shot.
ReplyDeleteThis photo must be distributed everywhere.
ReplyDeleteBill
I really dont think the country cares. Most people dont follow politicians closely AND the country easily forgives for wrongdoing. Forgives, forgets, Sarahs no different, nor is she MORE corrupt. Sweet woman
ReplyDeleteJulia omalley said the adn published fake photoshopped photo.The photographer and editor should be fired.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Dr. Scharlott. One need look no further than Demi, Gwen Stefani, Heidi Klum, soccer legend Mia Hamm to see what a pg belly looks like.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Wesley Loy is concerned, do we really think that a man would be observant enough to discern the square pillow Palin used to stuff her belly area when she moved her chair away from the desk? I assume the common male reaction would be, "Yep, her belly is certainly bigger".
ReplyDeleteThe graphic is good, but incorrect. It was actually Moore's second pregnancy, in 1991 when she was pregnant with Scout. Her first child, Rumer, was born in 1988.
ReplyDeleteShe was 28 when the picture was taken, and an established actress - obviously someone who took care of herself. One argument put forth by the 'bots has been that "Palin didn't look pregnant because she didn't 'let herself go' because she was in the public eye."
This picture is what a normal pregnancy looks like and flushes that argument right down the crapper.
Correction: that is allegedly Sarah Palin's SEVENTH pregnancy. The two miscarriages significantly increased the risk of her "pregnancy" with Trig, making the wild ride even more irresponsible (if true) or more preposterous (if false) than it otherwise would be.
ReplyDeleteThere are many powerful GOP people that will suffer, if fake birth is proved.
ReplyDeleteVetting of Sarah will be proven to be a total joke.
Selection of Sarah by McCain will be a total joke.
That's a good comparison. I think even better are comparisons of Sarah herself. She seemed really uninterested in consistency. Someone noted before that it appears she got an empathy belly at one point and swelled up overnight and those are the pictures that were enough proof for some that she was pregnant. But those are the pictures that really seem to fluctuate and don't seem to follow a natural chronology. The multitasking of pretending to be pregnant and governor were done poorly.
ReplyDeleteI think it must be the lighting! They both look 7 months to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe Sarah Palin is right......we do have a lamestream media (with a few exceptions).
ReplyDeleteFrom an article by Virginia M. Moncrieff at HuffPo:
ReplyDelete"I had already concluded that something was wrong at CAI, but what I had in mind was ordinary, garden-variety incompetence."
With the release of Jon Krakauer's exposé, Three Cups of Deceit, it all gelled for Mr. Frymann.....
Perhaps the most puzzling part of the story plays out in comment forums. Frymann dipped into blog discussions but was taken aback by the often rabid attacks on Jon Krakauer in the name of defending Greg Mortenson. "People like 'story' more than numbers," he says. "If one troubles one's self to look at the financials available from many sources including the CAI website, it's pretty obvious that a rather pathetic amount of the money finds its way to Afghanistan or Pakistan, at least so far. But who can be troubled to read financials? I have to admit, I didn't until this whole thing broke open. Basically, people are saying, 'Don't trouble me with facts and numbers, I like Greg, and I like the story.'""
I think there is a parallel between this story and Sarah's. Whatever the fall-out is when these stories come to light is less important that making sure that people know what actually happens so they can make sound judgments.
Keep up the great work!! I do feel that more people are beginning to see what a fraud Palin is concerning this hoax. The professor's paper has brought this issue to a new level of investigation. With Laura and Joe jumping in to the fray it bring along their fans and supporters, and the more minds looking for even more holes in this crazy story the better. I shudder to think how she has been able to continue on with this farce. I think it is very important for the public to know just how and why she created this " pregnancy." If she can continue to get away with this, then what else is out there that might also be a potential hoax, either by her or by others like minded. People need to continue to ask questions and use reasoning skills to see the fake from the real.
ReplyDeleteJust a small quibble, but I believe with the information that has come out since the time she announced she was pregnant with Trig, it was actually her SEVENTH (7th) pregnancy, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteI really to have to hand it to Demi Moore for that great photo and bringing the beautiful female body in its pregnant state into public view. I can remember when it was almost shameful to even acknowledge pregnancy (because it meant you were having sex).
ReplyDeleteQuitler hates herself. And everyone else, too.
OMG. Dr. Scharlott is, like, really quickly becoming my Celeb Crush! Is there anything sexier than a man doggedly fighting for the truth to come out?!
ReplyDeleteThe only quibble of course- it's her SEVENTH "pregnancy" not her fifth.
Gryph, I sure wish readers who are short statured and slender naturally would send photos of themselves just 12 or 14 weeks pregnant. It's accepted medically that subsequent pregnancies after the first tend to show earlier. The more pregnancies you've had, the quicker you show. I personally wore regular clothes until almost six months with my first...with my second, I had to get out the maternity clothes at 18 weeks.
With my THIRD...mercy. At only ten weeks pregnant I began to ask if I knew what I was having! (meaning, I looked much further along than 10 weeks)
With my fourth...it was like there was no muscletone left all. I knew I was pregnant based on the already-present swell of my lower tummy. By the time I got to my gender scan at 17.5 weeks, I was getting the "are you sure it isn't TWINS?" questions on a daily basis.
I'm 5'2 and 124 lbs in my non pregnant state. And I think my experience has been pretty average for a woman my size.
In other words...I call total BS on SP's magically changing "belly".
Let's not jump to conclusions here. Maybe Palin is carrying the baby above her belt-line and the baby bump is obscured by her scarf. Or consider this: Why did the professor (if he is in fact a professor) crop out Palin's shoes? How do we know there's not a baby in her shoes? And what about "black holes" that suck in everything around them, including light ... how do we know a black hole did not pass in front of Palin's baby bump just as the picture was being taken?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I can't believe it anymore (not like I did before) that NO one would know, or that she was actually pregnant! This is because I'm in my first pregnancy, at the end of the first trimester, 26 years old and use to run 3 miles every day before I became pregnant. Now I have to say, I don't look like Palin does now, but sure looked more like her before she was "pregnant." I'm trying to figure out how to conceal my pregnancy through the rest of the first trimester! There really is no hiding it! You can see a baby bump... at the very least her whole family would have known before 7 months and especially Todd!! There is no hiding me anymore, so I don't see how you could hide a 7 month, 5th pregnancy, at what age?
ReplyDeletebrilliant illustration! Months three and four are the time when polite people start thinking it, but might not say, "Are you pregnant?" Month seven, it is a foregone conclusion to anyone with eyes to see. There is NO WAY to fool anyone month 7 of pregnancy 5(or 7 or 1, for that matter)
ReplyDeleteYeah but...but...Sarah had tight abs, don'tcha know.
ReplyDeleteSharon1943
Bscharlott 4:46 -
ReplyDeleteYes! The baby was in her shoes! The same shoes she wore to the WHCD after-party. Heck, coulda been twins, there was room enough.
And one of those two ladies is mentally unstable.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I read about the half term governor's pregnancy I wonder how anyone be it the First Dude or someone else could have sex with the skank. I remember reading that someone in the McCain campaign said she had poor personal hygiene.
ReplyDeleteBill

ReplyDeleteThat's the thing that gets me too. We're supposed to believe that a woman with a belly as big as Sarah in some of those pictures WAS ALLOWED ONTO A PLANE when airlines will, in general, don't allow passengers after eight months? And we're also supposed to believe that the stewardess on the flight back saw THAT giant belly depicted in some of the pictures and DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT? We're supposed to believe that MEN are better at picking out pregnant women than WOMEN? Ha. And they say Trig Truthers are the sexists...
Stop this foolishness now!
ReplyDeleteLook at the baby bump on Sarah's Blackberry.
Her Blackberry carried the baby for her!
re: @2:53
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you really should write a Mother's Day blog dedicated to Sarah Palin's examplary mothering skills. After all, she's such a "sweet woman", "...nor is she MORE corrupt.".
I believe the country DOES care, not in their daily lives like some of us, but they ARE listening and will prove that at the voting booth. That's all that really matters.
Sarah Palin looks more pregnant now than in that picture. Prior to her walk on the national stage in 2008 Sarah was heavier. People want to use those heavier pics to represent a pregnant Sarah. I think, Sarah is a fraud.
ReplyDeleteWebster has new definition for "mass confusion".
ReplyDeleteMother's Day at the Palins.
Some of the Pain kids also have trouble with who to send Father's day card to also.
What fucked up family...
You Haters need to get a life. Sarah Palin is obviously pregnant but the picture shown does not have the correct angle. Now if you had a side profile picture of Sarah, it would be obvious that her very large baby bump would be on her backside and it can be medically explained:
ReplyDelete1) Todd with his 4 inches is a terrible shot.
2) Being a Palin, Sarah is kinky.
3) Todd needs glasses.
4) Todd and Sarah had relations while Sarah was bent over working in her worlds famous garden.
5) The correct opening was frozen shut or ice cold and Todd took what he could get.
6) Sarah drew her crosshairs on the wrong spot and oh well mistakes happens.
OK - sent the corrected version to Gryph -- so G, go to your email and get the new one, please, and swap it in -- the new one says it's Demi's 2nd pregnancy.
ReplyDeletePalin Fairy Tale Troll Alert @ 2:53!
ReplyDeleteI worked w/ Ms. Moore once upon a time & I can tell you she is tiny!! This is a fantastic & apt comparison, in terms of physical size.
Plus the fact that Demi Moore is taller that Sarah so Sarah should be BIGGER !!!
ReplyDeleteAnd he's FUNNY, too?
ReplyDeleteYep...I am totally crushing on the B-Scharr.
Hey everyone...don't you get a certain amount of glee writing/reading comments here now, knowing that Sarah is obsessively reading them? I feel I should start adding "Hi Sarah!" to every comment.
So...HI SARAH! Love the story that leaked out your Secrecy Dam about you reloading the comments here over and over. I just bet you've written a few, too! Come on now, when you distort reality to the point of calling yourself "sweet"...people are GOING to know it's you, honey. That's like saying "Sarah is a redhead!" or..."Sarah was pregnant in 2008!"
Until someone sees evidence of it, we know it's just another of your tall tales.
BYE SARAH!
Perhaps Trig was way above the belt, say in Sarah's head. There's lots of empty space there. Trig burst forth like Athena did from Zeus's head, oversized and ready to get to work.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @6:07 am: It's a long story, but I was once at a party that Bruce Willis and Demi Moore also attended, and I think Demi is barely five feet tall. She's a tiny woman - and she had tight abs! IIRC, Bruce Willis was pretty short, too - maybe 5'7"?
ReplyDeleteIn any event, would anonymous @2:53 am like to explain why he or she trusts the judgement of someone with a high-risk pregnancy in active labor who gets on a transcontinental flight? Or were Sarah's abs so tight that she could pop out babies at will and not a moment before she was ready?
If I were the photographer that took thus picture for the adn I would be screaming holy hell after Julia omalley called my photo a faked photoshopped one.
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like Bristol has joined in by making comments here.
ReplyDeleteSkinny Tori Spelling 4mths pregnant has a larger belly to Scarah
ReplyDeletehttp://www.popeater.com/2011/05/05/photo-tori-spelling-pregnant-bikini/
Sarah was wearing her new Army stealth camoflauge scarf the day the picture was taken and it hid her large baby bump.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP doesn't want to be caught by this lie. Funny how this is almost another GOP lie about sex.
ReplyDeleteIts so obvious through photographic evidence that she perpetrated this fraudulent pregnancy. How in the world are the people that follower her so incredibly stupid? Liars can't keep their stories straight and we see she falls into that category. What a sick twisted narcissistic individual.
ReplyDeleteDemi looks huge for seven months. Just for fun, check out two more nude celebrity 7-month pregnant bellies.

ReplyDelete@3:58 You are so right about women spotting pregnancies. I was a runner before my second, back in the 70s and untenured so I knew I could be fired if my neanderthal boss found out. I just had to hide it for 4 months. About 3 months in (still doing some jogging and lifting) one of my female coworkers said "You're pregnant aren't you." I couldn't believe it. "You're lower belly's swelling, it's so obvious." was her reply. I told the boss at 5 months and he was still surprised.
ReplyDelete@6:44 - I worked for her for a number of years and yes, she is TINY.
ReplyDeleteThere was a feature in Vogue magazine I recall of I think Melina, trump's love nude and pregnant on the rear steps of his private jet.
ReplyDeletePalin had the gall to take the fact people noticed she looked like flat abdomen to morphing to late stage shape in just 3 weeks twisting that babbling haters and liars claim she was only pregnant 3 weeks. She is a sick and twisted person who gets by spinning webs of deceit.
Why is it that all these online sites will post a collage of Bristle's big chin but not pictures of her mom's magic belly?
ReplyDeleteWhy did a vain pageant walking idiot like Palin scrub her pictures of the first year of her governor gig? Sure would be nice to have those pictures. Can't that be included in an information request to the state? Can't someone sue Sarah and CBJ for Trig for endangering his life through the wild ride. A law suit might be the only way to get to the bottom of it. Where the he'll is Orly Tates when you really need her?
Here are some more celebrity pregnancies. These are all fit, in-shape, body-conscious real women.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTXSTL7#a=1
You know what would be another interesting celeb comparison? Palin's Gusty interview photo with one of Jennifer Aniston during the time she was "pregnant" as Rachel on Friends.
ReplyDeleteBoth certainly "look" pregnant, but as we know, Jennifer's was completely fake. She's never had a child. We also know that if a woman wants to convince an audience that she is pregnant, she has to look the part at some point and maintain the ruse when in front of the audience for the rest of the "term".
To make the ruse work, the shorter the period the better. And it helps to hide one's midsection as much as possible so people don't get too close a look.
Whaddya know? That's EXACTLY what Sarah Palin did!! Hmmm.
Looking at the picture of Demi and Sarah Palin both at 7 months pregnant, looks like somebody is lying. I think Demi is the liar.
ReplyDeleteSarah said she is the proud mother who raised a combat vet, why would Sarah lie?
Sarah pays all her property tax on time, why would Sarah lie?
Sarah went to the best colleges in the land is the self proclaimed energy expert of America, why would Sarah lie?
Sarah told us that Bristol has great work ethics, why would Sarah lie?
Sarah said Todd does not solicit prostitutes, why would Sarah lie?
Sarah said she gave birth to Trigg, why would Sarah lie?
Time for Palin to quit pussyfooting around and show Trig is her adopted child, and what date he actually was born to his biological mother. Wild Ride is bull crap as Palin would put it.
ReplyDeletePussy footing?
Congrats...you're linked by Andrew. Charge up your extra servers.
ReplyDeleteThis is for you, Sarah!
ReplyDeletehttp://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/05/06/funny-pictures-but-she-said/
I saw some older photos, I think they were around the time Sarah was elected, where she was looking quite plump sans pregnancy. I think these photos need to be reintruduced to show that she was chubby before the "pregnancy" photos.
ReplyDeleteSome people see the "pregnancy" photos & go, "Oh she looks fat in the face, she must be pregnant". People are use to seeing the skinny red bull/protein bar Sarah now, that any fat in the face proclaims a pregnancy.
Same for Brisdull, if you compare her skinny pre-Tripp face photos top the post op photos, there is still a big difference. There is no way that the entire shape of her face changed from weight loss. When she was thin before, she still had the same old pre-op face.
So glad that the Prof is not letting go of this. If there is any chance of the hoax being revealed, I think he has the best shot at it.
ReplyDelete2:53 All politicians don't get away w/bad behavior (Thank God!)... Ensign from Nevada is a good example. He was forced to resign just recently and is still being investigated for his blatant misdeeds.
ReplyDeletePalin will get hers eventually.
She could also just as easily release an ultrasound from her "pregnancy" with Trig. That will have the name/date/hospital/and weeks of gestation printed right on it.
ReplyDeleteThe supposed birth weight of the baby "born" in April 2008 was over six pounds. Palin is selling the "premature" theme to minimize again. People hear that and think, oh, well, I suppose she wasn't that big with a little tiny premie.
ReplyDeleteA 6lb baby with associated fluid is NOT a little baby bump.
That is a precious comparison.
ReplyDeleteDo you think tight abs may
have made the difference???
I mean on Demi, not the Snow Queen!!
;) ;)
Why us Julia omalley implying that the picture her newspaper the adn published was photoshopped? Were they in on the hoax?
ReplyDeleteWHO CARES?????
ReplyDeleteThe amount of time this issue gets just means to me that some people are really afraid of Sarah Palin's possibilities. It should be a non-issue for an unlikely and unsuitable candidate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Prof. Scharlott for your continued investigation and for Gryph for keeping us up to date. Love your sense of humor Prof. Hope you get tons of photos as a result of your request to Laura Novak's readers. It's about time this nonsense was over.
ReplyDelete~physicsmom
great comparison.
ReplyDeletethe quitter is a FRAUD and is so insane she faked a pregnancy. in any other country, she would be in an asylum.
I actually feel sorry for Sarah. I read about her supposedly faked pregnancy before and thought it was some wild theory for conspiracy nuts, but the more I read (and see) the more it seems she must have faked it. Strains credulity to think that someone would go so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of compartmentalization must she engage in to make this work? Could her younger kids not have known? The theory is Trig is Bristol's, of course. Perhaps Sarah did it for her. I am afraid they are all very disassociated from reality.
Oh dear Deb T, are you really John McCain or Megan McCain.
ReplyDelete"The amount of time this issue gets just means to me that some people are really afraid of Sarah Palin's possibilities. It should be a non-issue for an unlikely and unsuitable candidate."
Yes, the truth should never come out since Sarah isn't going to run for President, because if the truth came out it would just further embarrass the bottom-of-his class screwup -- uh, I mean John McCain -- and his minions who foisted Palin on this nation.
So what that we chose a woman to be one heartbeat away from the presidency who was so mentally unbalanced that she faked a pregnancy? But, hey, she was hot.
a.) I despise Sarah Palin's politics
ReplyDeleteb.) But I don't give a damn about the Trig story, particularly as it relates to Andrew Sullivan's obsessive and ultimately futile quest to reveal the "truth."
c.) I don't give a sh*t and no one I know does either.
