TURN OF THE SCREW: Andrew Sullivan Calls Barney Frank Out for Complicity in Financial Crisis, Sleeping with Fannie Mae Executive, Playing "Homophobe Card" to Avoid Scrutiny!

Just kidding. He wants to know who Trig's mother is.

Births At Mat-Su Medical Center In April 2008

Here they are listed on the hospital's website. Trig Palin, who was born there, Sarah Palin tells us, on April 18 at 6.30 am, is nowhere to be found. If you can find any public record of Trig Palin's birth anywhere, please let me know. I will gladly publish it as soon as I find it. So far, none exists that I have been able to track down.
The Dish contacted Mat-Su and asked what the criteria are for including the names of the babies born in the hospital.
They said that inclusion on the list is by parental choice and they ask all parents. When asked if it was therefore a fair inference to say that they asked the Palins and the Palins chose not to have their child included on the list, the hospital told us that the Palins' privacy barred them from answering those questions. I asked the McCain-Palin campaign to comment but they refuse to answer my emails.

It's shocking that the Palins somehow got the idea that they should probably not make their records public. I mean, what are the odds of a creepy gay vagina-envy child stalker intruding into their lives?

One in... one, as it turns out.

There's no requirement parents disclose their births, by the way. It's a private choice, not a hospital decision. Other parents make the same decision.

Also note that Sullivan previously asserted the Palins made such sick money (over $200,000 in combined salaries! WOW!) that they could "intimidate a hospital," so I'm not quite sure why they couldn't easily force the hospital to say Sarah Palin is Trig's mother.

Note his offer of proof shifts every day as the facts shift, but his conclusion remains e'er fixed like the North Star. One day they bully the hospital into faking records; the next day they bully them into withholding records.

And finally, note that disgusting picture. Oh, the picture's sweet, but Sullivan uses it to suggest that Levi and Bristol are Trig's pa and ma, despite the fact which is obvious to everyone but Sullivan that Bristol is seven or eight months pregnant and therefore was also pregnant in April, when Trig was born.

I understand that Sullivan is not merely gay but SUPRAGAY, and thus is as familiar with the female reproductive system as he is about... well, any other topic he writes so passionately about, anyway, but a two minute Google search should satisfy him of the fact that Bristol Palin is a human female and not, in fact, a Tribble.

Compare and Contrast: Bristol Palin speaks at least human language and does not emit a trilling purr when her fur is stroked; Bristol Palin is an omnivore, consuming vegetables and meat alike, and does not subsist entirely on "superwheat" space-crop quadrotriticaline

GayPatriotWest wondered why Andrew Sullivan, the Go-To Guy of Gay, the guy who cannot help but pontificate on anything having to do with homosexuality, has completely missed the whole Barney "Fannie Buddy" Frank thing.

By the way, I didn't want to post this. Thanks for the tips; but it's no longer possible to embarrass this brain-damaged gay gossip columnist. Nor, apparently, the gay gossip site and antisemitic conspiracy newsletter and Child Stalking for Dummies publisher he works for.

I had to post it because I got up early (for me) today to get the McCain news, and now I find there's no other stupid news to post. I only finally posted it when I thought of the joke headline and made myself chuckle.

And, in case you care, Sullivan posts the Trig thing again today (the above quoted post is yesterday's). Briefly, though. Just a brief regurgitation. And I do mean regurgitation. So there's no point clicking over there.

Andrew Sullivan Actually Demanded to Know Why Economics Blogger Megan McCardle Was Writing About the Bailout Rather than Trig Palin: Her answer--

Andrew wants to know why I'm more freaked out by the bailout package than by Sarah Palin. [Palin-hating bona fides established.] Andrew may not have heard, but there have been a few interesting developments in the financial markets over the last few weeks. As an economics blogger, I was regretfully forced to forgo full time devotion to the vice presidential race and turn to more trivial matters.

Thanks to Oschisms for that.

This once again proves one of my main takes on Sullivan -- he has a mediocre and trivial mind, inexpert in any area that would normally qualify one as a serious commentator on national affairs, and so is forced to reduce "politics" to this Melrose Place type crap because it's the only thing he's capable of writing about.

And, on top of that, now he's demanding that experts in relevant fields stop writing about their areas of expertise in order to join him on his Changeling Baby Snipe Hunt.

4 There needs to be a simple retaliation for this; Sarah Palin needs to ask the next journalist who comes within ten feet of her, "Is there any particular reason that you and your fellow media members believe I faked my pregnancy?"

Little shit Andrew wants to claim he's a journalist; let's start holding all journalists responsible for his behavior.

21 I demand proof from Andrew Sullivan that Trig was ever even born in the first place. He wants proof of parantage but I want him to first prove birth. Maybe "Trig" is just an elaborate hoax to get Sullivan's panties in a twist. Did he ever think of that? I mean, come on, has Sullivan ever actually seen Trig in person? Has he conducted an exam to prove that "Trig" is actually a person and not some life-like doll?
As long as we're going to be hell bent on proving things that don't really need proving, I'd like Sullivan to start proving some things first. Come on Sully. Prove it. Prove something. Anything.
Yeah...i know...the argument sounds infentile. I'm just trying to speak at your level Sully so you can understand.

38 What's really creepy about Andy's continuing obsession about Trig Palin is that his guy has the race sown up. Why even bother? There's no need, Obama's going to win. Andy is just obsessed with this for, I'm guessing, deeply personal reasons.

Posted by: Big E at October 09, 2008 01:22 PM (uw1/g)

39 I have always been bemused at the tendency of most people to decry loudly the immorality of activities they themselves indulge in (or used to). Ex-smokers are some of the worst anti-smoking bigots there are, and you have never met a Christian as irritating as the one who used to be a coke-snorting hooker. I suppose it's of a piece with the Left's (purported) hatred of "hypocrisy"...so long as this hypocrisy is practiced by those to the ideological right of themselves, anyway.

I tend to have fairly liberal views of human sexuality, and also tend to be rather forgiving of behavior that might strike others as rather extreme or even disgusting. As long as two -- or more! -- consenting adults are involved, I don't really care -- whatever floats your canoe down the river, you know? This does not mean that I myself practice these behaviors (alas); it simply means I do not practice judgement on those who do.

Andrew Sullivan is one of the most noxious demagogues because he himself has lived the kind of life that would have embarassed Nero himself (if reports are to be believed), and yet finds it necessary to blow the moral clarion against a mother with a disabled child. Why? Because of the hypocrisy, apparently, although I must have missed the part where Palin was damning the gayfolk to hell for their turd-burgling ways.

But, just as a thought experiment, let's just say that he's right and Trig is actually not Sarah Palin's biological child. Does this sin outweigh Obama's continued relationships with terrorists and racist demagogues? One is an act of love and forgiveness; the other is an act of calculated political brinksmanship and self-aggrandizement. Both are wrong in an absolute moral sense, and yet clearly the second is the more heinous by far.

I think that Sullivan finds the obvious normalcy of Sarah Palin maddening. It is a normalcy he himself has never had (nor cared to have, apparently), and yet seems to resent it in others.

From the Desk of John S. McCain [a version with real balls who exists only in my mind]
Re: Trig Palin
Dear Mrs. Andrew"Lunatic Fringe" Sullivan:
This letter will confirm that my campaign has, in fact, received all 2,715 of your recent e-mails attempting to extract private information regarding the parentage and birth of Trig Palin. We thank you for your many inquiries into this subject of utterly vital importance to the future of the Republic. Please be advised, however, that no information will be provided to you in any form until you provide all of the following to Karl Rove:
1. A complete list of all diseases and/or medical conditions you have ever contracted, from whatever source.
2. A complete, currentset of medical records for each of the diseases and/or medical conditions listed in response to number 1, above.
3. A complete list of all medications taken for each of the diseases and/or medical conditions listed in response to number 1, above.
4. Absolute proof, in writing (or video, if you must) that you have never engaged, at any time in yourlife,in sexual contact, whether homosexual or heterosexual (okay, I jest on that one), with any human being under the age of 18, whether male or female (again, I do jest re: the female thing - HA!).
Please feel free to omit any reference when responding to the above to your well-known propensity for fucking your beagles and other stray animals of various species. Some things, as you should know by now, are simply beyond the pale of inquiry despite our common knowledge of your depravity.
Once complete and inarguable proof of all of the above is provided to Mr. Rove, and he reports to me that you are not, in fact, a pedophile, I will requestMr. and Mrs. Palin to release the documentation you seek regarding Trig Palin. Until then, however, please just fuck right off and die.
Thank you again for your interest in Trig Palin.
Cordially yours in maverick sensibility,
I'm John S. McCain[and if I didn't think you'd enjoy it, I'd strangle you by shoving my mailed fist up your ass and grabbing your windpipe from the inside of your worthless carcass] and I approve of this message.

66 Please, please don't say Andrew Sullivan is the go-to guy for gay. Even back before he lost his mind and was still writing graceful and occasionally intelligent stuff, he was a self-important tosser and an utter slave to the state of his emotions. I had dinner with him once back in his pre-insanity days (no, it wasn't a date) and couldn't believe what an arrogant fool he was. Now he's lost the prose style and the intelligence and the occasional glimpse into, what is that thing called?, reality; all that's left is the emotion and the self-importance. Yes, I know you didn't really mean he's the go-to guy for gay, but the very thought of it creeps me out, especially this close to Halloween.

68 Why is this so incredibly personal to Sully?
Because to merely drop it would mean that the World's Greatest Gay Fake-Conservative Blogger was wrong in his support ("just asking questions") for a disproven, absurd conspiracy theory.
So he doubled down, because no way could the author of the Most Read Single Writer Blog Ever be so wrong and petty. It's nearly impossible to prove a negative; he can imply that something isn't right about the circumstances of Trig's birth without actually stating what it is, he only need blame the supposed lack of disclosure for hiding The Truth. You can't prove there isn't something damaging, therefore you can't prove him wrong.
This is standard Troofer tactics- the lack of evidence for a conspiracy is evidence of a coverup and thus evidence of a conspiracy. They "just ask questions" until one goes unanswered, and use that lack of answer to further suggest a coverup without providing any evidence of their own.

This is the real headline. I never knew he was homosexual.

74 I wish teh Sarah would let Piper use her mind to set this loathesome asshole on fire.

But, but, but... that would make him a flaming asshole!!
Seriously- I just can't get worked up over Excitable Milky Glutes anymore. Everyone else has moved on, the McCain campaign has finally begun to show Hussein for who he really is, and by now it should be painfully obvious to the most casual observer- like me- that Andi is running on ass-fumes. I just don't care if Trig was adopted from some third-wold shithole and given a color change a-la Michael Jackson. Ooh- I may want to be careful with that- don't want to give 'em any ideas.

75 Earlier posts about this guy struck me as a little bit mean. I used to read Andi all the time in the run up to the Iraq war, back before the toxoplasmosis really got to him. But in all seriousness, this guy has lost his damn mind.

76 How would this hurt Sarah?
Right.
It's not just that it was a bizarre idea in the first place.
It's not just that it is disproven by the current pregnancy.
It's not just that he's ignoring HIPAA and thinking the hospital should give him information they CAN'T.
There's just so many things wrong with the whole picture.
Countdown to when he uses the word "Rovian" to describe someone telling him to stop...

77 OT sorry but Todd Palin has beautiful blue eyes.

78 The whole gestation thing is lost on a gay man like Sullivan. Trying to explain female biology and the reproductive system to him is like trying to explain color to a blind man.

His hostility toward women, and fertility, is palpable.

79 Technically, the tribble analogy fails unless Trig is pregnant with the Bristol/Levi baby, but maybe that's Andy's next theory.

80 I feel like Andy is missing the real story: Sarah Palin adopted the baby of Track Palin, then sent him off to war. I'm not sure who the mother is-- could be Willow Palin.

81 I want to see Andi's mom's medical records regarding his supposed "birth."

Because I am positive that shit does not come from a woman's vagina.

82 He has to use that picture to prove that Levi is the real father of Trig. Otherwise Levi may look like a loving man that isn't being forced by politicians to marry his girlfriend.

83 April 18 at 6.30 am
The great San Francisco earthquake was early in the morning on April 18th. Claiming Trig's birth was on the anniversary of this date is an obvious reference to the upheaval in the Palin family. It's Rovian, just Rovian.

84 I love that picture with Bristol and what's-his-face with Trig. People who see ugly things in that picture have no clue what family is like. None. And that's a shame.

Sully is delusional.

Even if his little theory were true, it wouldn't hurt Palin.

85 Seriously, the pic of the "f'n redneck" teenager tenderly kissing his little brother in law is heartwarming.

86 Hey, give Andrew a break, he's had a tough day.

87 There are two things tribbles can't stand-Klingons and Andy Sullivan.

88 a two minute Google search should satisfy him of the fact that Bristol Palin is a human female and not, in fact, a Tribble.

Oh, I dunno; I thought I found one between my girlfriend's legs the other day. I much prefer when she shaves it, if she insists on having one...

89 "they refuse to answer my emails." That is fucking classic. As a side note, my exgirlfriend from high school is not answering my calls either. She changed her voice mailbox code and told me to stop peeping in her windows too. What the fuck? There are questions she needs to answer.

90 I must have missed the part where Palin was damning the gayfolk to hell for their turd-burgling ways.

Sorry, I needed to see that again... *snork*

91 ANDI FEARS VAGINA!!!

Yes, and? I'm straight, but I'll admit that I'm frightened and confused by the v-jay-jay. Mostly because I tend to lose my mind when I get some. It's a damn, dirty Jedi mind trick I tells ya!

Posted by: I R A Darth Aggie at October 09, 2008 05:55 PM (1hM1d)

92 I'm a 55 year old gay man. Unlike Andrew Sullivan, I'm not a pestilent catamite.

93 Ace,
At this point, the only reason I care to read these Sulivan-related posts is some perverted Schedenfraude. I can see the guy in Vegas or (more likely) Atlantic City, just knowing that if he keeps at it, his big payoff is coming. After all, he's been at it so long, at some point his luck has to change, right?! Andi made a smallish bet early on, lost, and then has since refused to believe that he can lose. It's somewhat fascinating to watch someoneplace all the marbles on one game and let it ride - he is literally finished once this ride ends, so he's got to keep anteing up more just to keep the game afloat.
Frankly, I once saw Andi on Maher's show (several years back) and he made some great defenses of the Catholic church with regard to the overall positive influence the church has in opposition to its current scandals. Seeing him (Sullivan) disgrace himself in this manner is not pleasent, but it is fascinating.
