Mr. McGinniss,

I’m reading this to mean that – while you’re travelling about – this comment section is an open thread?

And if so, I’d like to take the opportunity to ask a question:

While all the bloggers (myself included) and journalists are busy scrutinizing the sizes of pregnant bellies and newborn 6 lb bubs and flat-bellied photos and newspapers and authors alike are asking people to come forward with actual evidence… my question is this:

Why are there no ordinary, everyday working people coming forward to claim their five minutes of fame from having remembered helping a very pregnant Sarah into a taxi, through a crowded hotel lobby door, or into a chair at a busy restaurant where the waiter would have had to move the table to accommodate Sarah’s oversized belly?

Where are the human interest stories that naturally and inevitably crop up when people realize that the seemingly ordinary woman they encountered briefly last year or last month is suddenly a national star?

Where is the taxi-driver who remembers helping Todd assist Sarah into the back of his cab and clumsily adjusted Sarah’s seatbelt?

Where is the nice little old lady who remembers standing next to Sarah in line at the airport with a quip about remembering when she was that young and that pregnant?

Sarah and Todd boarded at least four airplanes to get from Wasilla to Texas and back again during her ‘wild ride’ episode while Sarah was purportedly in her eighth month of pregnancy and yet not one person anywhere remembers the pretty, bulbous, pregnant lady? Not one passenger on one flight? No one helped with her seatbelt or seat tray? No one helped her into or out of the narrow loo doorway?

Did no one think to help Sarah up and down those treacherous metal airplane styles at the Anchorage airport?

It’s got to be some kind of mathematical miracle that not one person – bellhop, waiter, cabbie, florist, flight attendant, maitre`d, maid, man on the street has ever come forward to stake their claim that they ‘met’ Sarah and helped her into a chair, handed her a menu, held open an elevator or offered her an arm for balance down a flight of stairs.

Nobody. I put these questions to my readers almost two years ago. Not even a nibble. This, for me, has always been the loose thread that would eventually unravel the entire sham.

Appreciate all your work –

Pink is pregnant.

I saw this on Yahoo this morning . Pinkwas complaining of how hard it is to bend over. It is amazing how wimpy these young, pregnant and very physical girls are.

No one, no one has iron abs like Sarah Palin.

Oh dear. That would be “thump themselves”.

I see that Business Insider has printed up Geoffrey Dunns take on things, but Huffington Post continues to ignore the Professor Brad Scharlott’s contention that the media have been very remiss.

Not theories about Trig, but did want to let you know I pre-ordered on Kindle. Yay. Love, Me
