PSA: Palin mother of an entire troop.

There are rumors that Sarah Palin's youngest son, born with Down's Syndrome, is actually the child of her oldest daughter, Bristol.

To combat these rumors, the Palins admitted that Bristol is five months pregnant and therefore couldn't have been pregnant with youngest son Trig. Interesting way to combat those rumors -- but it gets even more interesting. In a bizarre act of hyperbole, Palin went on to claim that she is the mother of an entire troop of soldiers:

"[McCain]'s a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight. And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief," she said.

Either she's claiming motherhood of an entire phalanx of Army servicemen, or she's succumbed to the bad grammar of this war.

I'm not sure, on a ticket with a man who can't tell a Sunni from a Shi'ite, which is worse.
