The new Sarah Palin biography is out!

Let's see if we can find the lies!

A new biography of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin reveals that her secret pregnancy with son Trig was nearly uncovered when one of her daughters discovered Trig's prenatal ultrasound scan and confronted Palin with the picture. "Sarah made one slip-up – but [she] dampened suspicion by explaining it away," reports Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin, by PEOPLE Assistant Editor Lorenzo Benet and being published Tuesday by Simon & Schuster's Threshold Editions.

Well in my opinion this whole statement is a lie, but even if I were wrong she admits that she at least lied to her children by "explaining it away". Way to parent by example Governor!

"Not discussing the pregnancy with her daughters, she felt, would shorten the process and spare them from unwanted attention" .

"Unwanted attention" from who? If only the children knew then how could anybody else be bothering them about it? That is one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard.

Trailblazer also reveals another reason Palin kept the pregnancy quiet. She tells Benet, who interviewed Palin and her family for a 2008 PEOPLE cover story: "Not knowing in my own heart if I was going to be ready to embrace a child with special needs – I couldn't talk about it."

Well we have now seen for ourselves whether Sarah can embrace a child with special needs and the answer, based on how she carries and interacts with him, is NO. However oddly enough the person who seems to demonstrate the most affection for little Trigg Palin is Bristol. Hmmm. Oh and let's not forget hair slicking Piper Palin, she likes the baby too.

The biography also reports that Trig's health was problematic from birth – he was born with a congenital heart defect typically found in half the babies with Down syndrome – but it cleared up on its own without surgery.

What? It "cleared up on its own without surgery"? Is that even possible? Well it appears it IS possible but it is not without its own set of potential complications according to this website:

Many heart abnormalities (including patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, truncus arteriosus, atrioventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great arteries) can be corrected with a single operation in early infancy. More complex abnormalities (including hypoplastic left heart syndrome and tricuspid atresia) may require a series of two or three operations beginning in the newborn period and completed at approximately 3 years of age.

With most complex abnormalities, the children spend the majority of their time in the care of their parents at home, with occasional visits to the pediatric cardiologist (a heart specialist) as well as to the child's primary care doctor.

Less invasive procedures done in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, rather than the operating room, may be used to treat some conditions. Such treatments may include balloon angioplasty or valvuloplasty to relieve an obstruction of a blood vessel (such as in coarctation of the aorta) or a valve obstruction (such as in pulmonary or aortic stenosis). In these procedures, a pediatric cardiologist inserts a catheter, a thin plastic tube with a special balloon attached, into a blood vessel. The balloon is then inflated to stretch open the narrow area of the blood vessel or heart valve. Another procedure called transcatheter device occlusion may be used to close abnormal openings or holes within the heart or blood vessels (such as in patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defects, and ventricular septal defects) without requiring surgery.

Some abnormalities, such as small- or moderate-sized ventricular septal defects, may close or decrease in relative size as your child grows. While waiting for the hole to close, the doctor may prescribe medicines for your child, which some kids also need to take after surgery.

So even if this condition "cleared up on it's own" meaning that the "small or moderate-sized ventricular septal defect" closed as Trig Palin grew, it still would have meant multiple trips to the doctor to monitor little Trig's progress. And that directly contradicts what Cathy Baldwin-Johnson said in the letter she wrote about Governor Sarah's health history.

"He had some minor problems with jaundice which required phototherapy in the hospital and at home for several days."

She also said of little Trig that "He was able to go home at two days of age with his mother."

Bullshit. You do not send a baby with a congenital heart defect home after only two days of observation. So who is lying here? Sarah Palin or Cathy Baldwin-Johnson? Because somebody sure as hell is!

Update: Okay I was unable to connect to the People magazine site for over two hours and could not continue this post. But things are back online so let me take up where I left off.

Trailblazer also sheds new light on the relationship between Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol, and her fiancé, Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol's son, Tripp,born Dec. 27, 2008. While Bristol was pregnant last year, she was living in Anchorage with her aunt and uncle, Heather and Kurt Bruce, and working at two espresso shops – while also attending West High School.

Okay now once again this does not jive with the facts that we know about when Bristol left school. Bristol was out of the house and visiting her aunt in Anchorage as early as December of 2007.

Mark Okeson, the assistant principal at Wasilla High School, told the Chicago Tribune that Bristol started her junior year last fall, in the town where Sarah Palin grew up.

He said Bristol inexplicably transferred to an Anchorage high school midyear, leaving Levi behind. ("Midyear" is December or January, not April or May, which is when it would have had to be for this pregnancy to have produced Tripp Palin on December 27th, 2008.)

"I never heard the story why," he said. (Hmm also interesting.)

So why was Bristol out of school in December 2007 if little Tripp was not due until December 2008? I just how long do Palin babies gestate?

And we KNOW she was not attending school in West High because that is where the Mono story came from. And I would love to know which Espresso shops she was supposedly working at, I have time on my hands I would be perfectly willing to go and interview the owners of those coffee huts.

Wow this book is so full of lies and cover ups that I cannot believe that a reputable publisher would have had the balls to publish it.

You just wait until reporters and bloggers have a chance to read the WHOLE THING because I have little doubt that there are far more inconsistencies to uncover.

By the way here is the first chapter for those with a strong stomach.
