Sarah Palin, the legend and the myths, plus Feb 2008 interview
What a difference a week makes. John McCain's VP ascendant, 44 year old Sarah Palin, has had practically everything but a Movie of the Week done to her, for her, on her by nearly every conceivable (yeah, I know, ironic word choice considering they don't) lefty slur-pee in North America, Britain and probably half of the rest of the world. Big deal. Not even close to shaking this girl's resolve.
But if gossip's your thing, and the basis for your life decisions, Charlie Martin, at Pajamas Media has assembled what could be the Compleat Abridged Compendium of Palin Mythology, in one link- filled article. All the truthiness you wanted to know, but couldn't be bothered to search for yourself:
...So this is the complete list of Palin Rumors, at least as it stands about midnight Mountain Time on September 7, 2008. (The link will take you back to the complete and current list on my blog Explorations.) I make a point of the time because the list has been growing by around seven rumors a day; there’s at least one in my queue that I haven’t been able to completely track down yet.
[...]
1. Yes, she is governor of Alaska. No, she’s not the lieutenant governor. No, she’s not currently mayor of Wasilla. Yes, she was mayor of Wasilla, some years ago.
2. Yes, as governor of Alaska, she’s the commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard. And yes, her professional military subordinate is quite impressed with her in that role.
[...]
No, the Downs baby (Trig) isn’t Bristol’s kid, and no, the kid wasn’t born with Downs because (a) Palin flew on an airplane (b) went home to have the baby after an amniotic leak (c) because he was the result of incest between Todd Palin and Bristol.
[...]
No, she wasn’t named as a co-respondent in a divorce; there’s no evidence she had an affair with her husband’s business partner. The partner tried to have his divorce records sealed because he was being harrassed by journalists who used them to get his phone number.
Yes, barring immaculate conception virgin birth (whatever), Bristol appears to have had sex with her fiancee. No, Bristol didn’t receive only “abstinence-only” sex ed. [The biggest item of controversy in this whole process has been, of all things, details of Christian doctrine and sectarian differences.]
Dig in, there's more meat here then in a full hour of Access Hollywood. Don't be the dummy at your office watercooler, again, today!

Added: C-Span interview with Sarah Palin in February 2008, three parts (about 24 minutes total):
Part II (7 min):
Part III (6 min):
About 4 minutes into part III, the interviewer asks if there is any special little fact about herself she'd like to talk about...LOL! Her eyebrows go up - as she is 6 months pregnant with Trig at this point, and the pregnancy is still a huge secret.
