PJ: As Sarah Palin joins in support of Donald Trump's birtherism (by suggesting that President Obama was not born in the US contrary to proof that he was), her own attempts to quell the rumors of a faked pregnancy resurface.
Daily Mail
As the debate about Obama's birthplace rages through the media, inflamed by Donald Trump, one man has brought another conspiracy theory back to life.
Rumours were rife in 2008 when Sarah Palin announced her pregnancy with her fifth child that the baby actually belonged to her daughter Bristol and the Alaska governor wanted to avoid a scandal while running for vice president.
A university professor has now written an academic article which he claims 'proves' that the baby, Trig, was actually Bristol's.

Professor Bradford Scharlott of Northern Kentucky University deduced two main things from his study, that the 'conspiracy theory' - as it was dismissed then - is likely to be true, and that the U.S. media is pathetic for not pursuing the story more aggressively.
Professor Scharlott backs up his theory with 'evidence' - the main exhibits are two photographs showing Palin supposedly in the late stages of pregnancy with a very flat stomach.
However, a photo taken of Palin during a trip to Texas in April 2008, during which she says her waters broke, shows not only an apparently pregnant stomach but a visibly fuller face and breasts.
Professor Scharlott cites as evidence the 20-hour leisurely trip that Palin made to a hospital in Alaska after going into labour instead of having the baby in Texas.
