The deer is not caught in the headlights. The deer is caught in a web of deceit.

I am currently in the process of writing my last post on Levi's book, where I was going to compare what is written in the book with what I learned in my research, point out its inaccuracies, and then try to explain possible reasons for them

I thought I would do this by first introducing Levi's version and then demonstrating how my information refutes it.  (You can see where I first laid out the important details of his book here and here.)

But then I ran into a snag.

You see even BEFORE I can refute Levi's version of Bristol's pregnancy, he does it for me!

As you undoubtedly remember one of the more shocking revelations in Levi's book was that Bristol's due date was ACTUALLY supposed to be mid to late January, rather than mid to late December as previously stated.

This revelation comes after Todd asks Levi to take the snowmachines up to the cabin with him, Willow, and Piper the day after Christmas. Which Levi agrees to, since:


Bristol wasn't due for another three weeks.

Aha, we exclaim,! We KNEW there was something hinky about Bristol's pregnancy!

However then we get to the photo insert section of the book only to find THIS picture.

You have seen the picture before so you may not find it surprising except that beneath the photo the caption reads:

My sister Sadie's sophomore prom night, and a two-month pregnant Bristol, together in my bedroom. This is one of the very few pictures I have of Bristol.

I have confirmed that this picture was taken on April 25, 2008. That would mean that Bristol got pregnant in February, which makes THIS statement, attributed to Bristol after learning that her mother was pregnant on March 5, completely nonsensical.

"I'm the one," Bristol said, "who should be having a baby. Not Sarah." 

Bristol looked at me. "Let's get pregnant."

WTF? If indeed she was two months pregnant in this April 25th picture, then WHY would she say she now wanted to get pregnant? And besides that would have meant that her due date was sometime in November, and by December 27th she would have been more than a month overdue.

So essentially Levi has given two different due dates, neither of which is December 18 or 27. One is a month earlier, and the other a month later, than Tripp was supposedly born.

So which one is it Levi.

Let's assume that she WAS two months pregnant in that picture taken the night of Sadies' prom.

That would have meant she was at least six months pregnant in this picture from August 24, 2008.

Anybody see a six month baby bump there?  You know for that matter does anybody see a five month baby bump there?

And while we are on the topic of inconsistent body changes, pray tell how did Bristol go from the size she is in the above photograph to THIS in only ten days?

Or do we in fact already know that?

What is abundantly clear is that this is not a book where Levi finally reveals the secrets that Sarah Palin and her family do not want you to know. This is a book where Levi continues to clumsily provide cover for two different, and completely implausible pregnancies.

By writing a book so full of contradictions and inconsistent time lines Levi has made it relatively simple for the Palin supporters and journalists to dismiss out of hand.  Was it written that way on purpose? Does the Palin family still hold some sway over Levi that enabled them to convince him to sabotage his own book?

The question is, after everything the Palin family has done to him and his family, why would he continue to do their bidding?
