Here is the missing piece to the Trig Truther puzzle!
The pregnancy is believed to be a case of a rare condition known as superfetation, or conceiving while pregnant.
The pregnancy may sound weird, but it is possible, according to NBC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman.
This is the moment that Andrew has been waiting for! (via Glenn)
Fun Riddle for the day:
Q: How do you know when you have really gone over the deep end?
A: When Robert Stacy McCain and Charles Johnson can BOTH look at you and laugh!
Sept 16: The Daily Dish
The pioneer of the anti-Jihadist blog, Little Green Footballs, is repulsed by some of the developments on the populist, racist right. He’s right to be; and has the courage to say so. For that he is subjected to the usual mau-mauing. Check out his blog. It’s an Yglesias Award in motion
LGF Feb 17th:
There’s nothing like a left-handed compliment from Andrew Sullivan to totally creep you out.
The Daily Dish Dec 8 2008:
LGF and Michelle Malkin are gleeful because I called Andrew out over the Palin baby rumors, but I can’t imagine that either blog would ever allow this type of open debate.
LGF Dec 9th 2008:
http:/The key word in his response is “imagine,” because he apparently has an imaginary LGF in mind.
But “debating” a loony conspiracy theory? Hey, the Daily Dish has lots of that!
LGF April 5 2008:
Not a shred of the post-9/11 Sullivan remains; all that’s left is a rhetoric-spewing empty shill for “progressive” causes.
And finally July 1st 2006 lgf
Andrew Sullivan’s struggle with raging Bush Derangement Syndrome is over, and BDS won. He’s now become indistinguishable from Daily Kos
By the Lydia theory this poses trouble for the his blog.

I’m still hoping for an El-Cid ending to all of this with Charles in the role of Prince Alfonso.
Apparently if you are of the left in Massachusetts some federal laws apply and others don’t:
Political commentator, author and writer for The Atlantic magazine Andrew M. Sullivan won’t have to face charges stemming from a recent pot bust at the Cape Cod National Seashore — but a federal judge isn’t happy about it.
U. S. Magistrate Judge Robert B. Collings says in his decision that the case is an example of how sometimes “small cases raise issues of fundamental importance in our system of justice.”
How upset was he? This upset:
Collings says he expressed his concern that “a dismissal would result in persons in similar situations being treated unequally before the law. … persons charged with the same offense on the Cape Cod National Seashore were routinely given violation notices, and if they did not agree to [pay the fine] were prosecuted by the United States Attorney … there was no apparent reason for treating Mr. Sullivan differently from other persons charged with the same offense.”
In fact, noted Collings, there were several other defendants appearing in court the same day who were charged with the same offense. emphasis mine
In his opinion, Collings wrote that the U.S. Attorney is “is not being faithful to a cardinal principle of our legal system, i.e., that all persons stand equal before the law and are to be treated equally in a court of justice once judicial processes are invoked. It is quite apparent that Mr. Sullivan is being treated differently from others who have been charged with the same crime in similar circumstances.”
Ultimately, Collings acknowledged that he had no choice other than to allow the case to be dismissed, but “that the Court must so act does not require the Court to believe that the end result is a just one.”
I wonder if Mr. Sullivan was not such a fan of the current occupant of the White house if the US Attorney’s office would have been in such a hurry to dismiss?
Update: I beat the Other McCain to it but Vodka pundit and Dan Riehl
beat us both.
Update 2: but I did edge out hotair
I started reading Andrew Sullivan back in the year 2000. It was one of the first blogs I ever read and it was the source of a lot of good opinion and observation.
I have watched his blog degenerate into the morass it is today, it shows flashes of it’s old self but mostly it is not worth a person’s time.
As I have observed Mr. (Dr?) Sullivan for considerably longer than he has observed Trig Palin I feel competent to diagnose the problem. After years of observation I have concluded that he suffers from an acute case of Bloggers Alzheimer’s hereafter known as Sullivan’s Syndrome.
The syndrome is characterized by a singular obsession with a particular issue that causes all other issues to be viewed from that prism. Once the trigger is activated the subject views and opinions on any and all subjects can only be judged from the view of the particular issue.
In Mr. Sullivan’s case the trigger was gay marriage. Once this because an issue anyone who dissented from said issues motives were not only not to be trusted but were to be attacked.
At the syndrome progresses the issue shapes one writing on everything until even friends on the base issue might be rejected due to acceptance or agreement with any previously rejected party. (Re: Glenn Reynolds) The subject himself will believe himself totally unchanged.
In its later stages a person who poses any external threat to the base issue becomes an obsession to truther conspiracy levels. (re: Trig)
Like regular Alzheimer patients some brief periods of lucidity may emerge (re Iran) but when exposed to the “external threat” again (re: Palin) the syndrome re-asserts itself. And the patient will often make an object of adoration of any opponent of the external threat.
No current treatment is known for Sullivan’s syndrome but readers are advised to avoid prolonged exposure to the subject as the syndrome can spread to the point where the infected person can become the trigger for the syndrome in others.
Update: Diagnosis confirmed!
