Sarah, Sarah, Storms Are Brewin' In Your Eyes

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is still ticked off about a lot of things, including bloggers and rumors and the media.

From the AP:
She said reporters continue to question whether her 9-month-old son, Trig, is actually the child of her 18-year old daughter Bristol from a secret previous pregnancy.

“I’ll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig’s real mom,” Palin told Esquire. “And I thought, ’Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism.”’
I can understand the frustration over a lie that won't die, but at least give the paper credit for checking its information. Running with a rumor would have been faster and easier, but I'd like to think most of us are still dedicated to professionalism, even if you don't.
Palin said she named Bristol in part for Bristol, Conn. — home of the sports network ESPN.

“When I was in high school, my desire was to be a sportscaster,” she said. “Until I learned that you’d have to move to Bristol, Connecticut. It was far away. So instead, I had a daughter and named her Bristol.”
What if she had a desire to be on the Food Network?
