Everybody (and her daughter) looks more pregnant than Sarah Palin - UPDATE

These sloppy abs celebrities can't hide their 7 month pregnant bumps.

Jenna Elfman

Katie Holmes

Angelina Jolie

Some celebrities can't hide their pregnancies at 6 months...

Gwyneth Paltrow

Mariska Hargitay

Kate Hudson

Even a 17 year old can't hide it at a mere 5 months!

In this video, filmed in early September 2008 in Spokane, shows Bristol (with Piper and Levi) looking pregnant. Please note that Bristol's bump is quite visible from a distance.

But this celebrity quitter governor had no difficulty in looking not pregnant at all.

A month later, Sarah's amazing tight abs were still working their magic.

We keep comparing pregnancy bumps because it's absolutely remarkable that every other woman on the planet eventually shows signs of being pregnant well before reaching the eighth month mark. The actresses pictured above are very body conscious and keep in very good shape. Yet their abdomens expand when they are pregnant. Sarah Palin's own 17 year old daughter looked convincingly pregnant at 5 months.

How could a 44 year old woman, in her seventh pregnancy, look so incredibly flat?

The mind boggles...

UPDATE

Jenna Elfman seems to believe that women get bigger sooner in the second pregnancy.

The art of sitting down and standing up in late pregnancy. Compare and contrast. Sarah stands up without any difficulty @2:20.



We took screenshots of the amazing sequence of the very “pregnant” Sarah Palin standing up:






Jenna Elfman didn't do so well.



Jenna should consult Sarah Palin on how to stay flat so she can avoid embarassing moments when she has to sit down at chat shows on the occasion of her third pregnancy...

Bree Palin has a fantastic post on the same subject.

Giselle Bundchen doesn't have tight abs...

Sarah Palin, then 44 years old, 5' 4" tall, 7 months pregnant with her 5th child.

Giselle Bundchen, 29 years old, 5' 11" tall, 7 months pregnant with her 1st child.

Honestly! Models are very slack with their abs. We recently saw photographs of Heidi Klum very pregnant with shameful abs, not tight at all. Now look at Giselle Bundchen, how could she let herself go like this?

Sarah Palin's ifs and buts...

Babygate – “The video of Sarah Palin that everyone wants to see”

Guestpost by Patrick

We have to thank our reader “Bell” for uncovering another highly interesting piece of information. As most of you know, the Israeli filmmaker Elan Frank had unique access to Sarah Palin at the beginning of April 2008, when she was supposedly highly pregnant with Trig. In this news article, it was mentioned that Elan Frank followed her around for three days at the beginning of April 2008. Elan Frank then later sold all the footage to Fox News.

From Sarah Palin’s schedule we can see that he filmed her on April 8, 2008 and April 9, 2008 . Previous to this we already had confirmation that the footage with the black jacket was definitely shot on April 8, 2008. If Elan Frank filmed her on a third day, although this is not mentioned in Sarah’s schedule, we can safely assume that this must have been either just before or after those days. In any case, about ten days later, on April 18, 2008, Trig was supposedly born and “presented to the world” as a premature down syndrome baby with a possible cardiac problem several hours later.

The new footage is a clip from an Israeli news program. You can find the clip posted online here.

However, this online clip is very unstable and doesn’t seem to play very well. Some people are lucky and it loads for them, but for me it didn’t. Fortunately, although I couldn’t view it online, I was able to download this clip. It was well worth it – see for yourself:



We took screenshots of the amazing sequence of the highly “pregnant” Sarah Palin standing up:






Is this a woman who will give birth to a baby which weighs 6 lbs. 2 oz. about ten days later?

After I viewed this footage, I AGAIN searched the internet for pictures and videos of highly pregnant women, just to get a comparison, and they just DID NOT match up, as expected. I know that we have many female readers here who have given birth before – what do you all think about it?

See also the comparison to the famous Gusty picture with Sarah’s prominent “pregnant” stomach dated to April 13, 2008 – taken just about four to five days later!

In addition, the “exchange” between Sarah and Todd in the video clip is quite interesting, especially in light of the “latest revelations”.

Note that she is wearing her famous the blue jacket again – inside the house while she is sitting down and being filmed!

I would also like to draw your attention again to the other videos in which the footage of Sarah Palin shot by Elan Frank is mentioned. These two great clips were created by Ennealogic:





Also, we have more highly interesting footage of Sarah Palin which was shot by Elan Frank and which was included in the fourth part of the Fox News series “Sarah Palin – An American Woman”:

Sarah Palin's Babygate for beginners

A few "Trig Truther" blogs had an increase in traffic in the past couple of days thanks to Andrew Sullivan linking to Bree Palin's post. Bree uncovered some Fox News footage showing a very "tight abs" Sarah Palin five days before she posed for a photo sporting a very nice pregnant belly.

The following comparison is even more striking:


As many of the newcomers are not familiar with the details of Sarah Palin's short and flat pregnancy, I'm going to do a quick recap of how this "conspiracy" evolved.

What made people suspicious, apart from the rumours that emerged in the early days of the vice presidential campaign? By announcing that Bristol was 5 months pregnant, the RNC hoped to put an end to those rumours: Sarah Palin faked the pregnancy to cover for her teenaged daughter, Desperate Housewives style. Based on the April 18 birthdate, Bristol couldn't possibly be the mother of both babies. Case closed, story dead.

But the story wouldn't go away. A bit of googling here and there led people to Sarah Palin's own account of her labour and delivery of Trig. That's what we have called the "wild ride" ever since. It was wild alright: after delivering her all important speech, leaking amniotic fluid and without being checked by a doctor, Sarah embarked on a series of long flights from Dallas to Seattle to Anchorage, including a 2 hour stopover, followed by another 50 minute car ride from Anchorage to a small, not adequately equipped hospital in Palmer.

Of course this startling account of events set many alarm bells ringing. Women with some experience of childbirth, others who had experienced leakages, parents who had premature babies with or without Down Syndrome, healthcare professionals, curious people, they all scratched their heads and said to themselves: "There's something fishy here."

Another thing that googling revealed was a very well scrubbed governor's website. Loads of photos had disappeared, all from the time of the pregnancy. The alarm bells rang louder. Sarah Palin couldn't scrub the whole internet and some interesting photos started to emerge.


As the popularity of Palin's Deceptions grew, so did the curiosity of the dedicated researchers, who were determined not to leave any stones unturned. Lots of documents were unearthed, some through the Freedom of Information Act, and a good collection of travel schedules, travel authorizations, court papers and other bits and pieces started to grow and make sense (or not) in the context of the famous "pregnancy".

After Tripp was born, allegedly on December 27 (or was it 28?), 2008, and was presented to the world via Fox News in mid-February 2009, people started to doubt the official date of Trig's birth. The Trig we saw as a premature newborn on April 18 simply didn't look like a premature baby. Sarah Palin took this "premature", jaundiced, special needs baby to work with her 3 days after his "birth" and presented him to the press. The wild ride and Trig's debut defied all known medical advice in cases such as the one Sarah presented as fitting her own particular circumstances.

There's a lot more. There are countless theories regarding Trig's parentage, but I'm going to stick with the simplest of scenarios. Although Bristol is the hottest candidate for Trig's mom, regardless of who the real mother is, one thing seems to be quite clear: Sarah Palin didn't give birth to Trig. Not on April 18, 2008 or any other date. She was never pregnant in 2007/2008.

All of Sarah Palin's daughters are more nurturing to Trig than Sarah ever was. She puts on a show when the cameras are rolling. A fly-on-the-wall camera would never catch Sarah Palin showing any spontaneous affection for this innocent child.

To Sarah Palin, Trig is nothing more than a prop to enhance her pro-life credentials, he's just a means to an end, the scoring of political points by appealing to the emotions and the good nature of the people she has duped. She also made a fair bit of money in donations to her SarahPac and "legal" fund from these misguided followers.

This is the sad story behind Babygate.

There was some high drama in the past few months, bloggers were outed, threatened, silenced.

But just as Sarah Palin couldn't hide all traces of her fake pregnancy from the search engines, she won't be able to stop all bloggers.

Research teams regroup, undeterred. We will continue to put this puzzle together, piece by piece. The truth will come out, sooner or later.

You betcha!

Shapeshifting Sarah Palin

Our friend Bree Palin came across some very good footage of Sarah Palin dated April 8, 2008. When we look at some screenshots from the video together with other pictures, it becomes very clear that Sarah Palin's "baby bump" changes shape and size in a very peculiar fashion.



I find the photos around April 8 particularly interesting. Either Sarah Palin ballooned from nothing into the square shaped belly, or the other way around, because the footage wasn't taken more than a couple of days apart...



By April 13, Sarah had obtained a better shaped belly and finally looked pregnant. But she must have shrunk again by April 17, because the air crew on the Alaska Airlines flight to Anchorage didn't think her stage of pregnancy was apparent, which Sarah Palin confirmed in an interview a couple of days after she "delivered" Trig.

Reporter: Just a clarification – you flew commercial Alaska Airlines?

Palin: Yeah, yeah.

Reporter: And did -- This was something else I think I heard your father say I just wanted to clarify. Did you have to hide your pregnancy because you were so far along?

Palin: Well, you know I never felt nor do some people say I ever looked like I was that far along, um, so no purposeful way or need to hide that I was pregnant. Um, some, I know that some airlines would have uh, some hesitancy on letting maybe a nine month pregnant person get on board but it wasn’t nine months so, um, it was…

Reporter: And you didn’t tell them you were feeling something when you came back on the plane?

Palin: No need to because I wasn’t feeling at all like I was in labor in fact, you know I wasn’t one or maybe two contractions an hour that felt just like Braxton Hicks which I’d been having for months. That doesn’t constitute labor, so…

What a truly fascinating pregnancy...

Best photo of Sarah Palin's pregnancy with Trig!

Tongue firmly in cheek, here we go:

The picture on the right is definitely the best photo of Sarah's "pregnancy" with Trig...

It is much clearer than the previous one, a still from Elan Frank's video, still on a Sponge Bob SquarePants:



As a visual gag on Sarah's pregnancy, the SpongeBob picture was a real find!

A pregnant pause

These are photos of two pregnant women. The first is Kate Garraway, a fit forty one year old British newsreader, shown here four months pregnant with her second baby. The second photo is of a much, much fitter Sarah Palin when she was forty four years old, seven months pregnant with baby Trig, her fifth child.

Yeah, right!
