The XX Factor: What women really think.

Yesterday the Internet was buzzing with the rumor that Palin was actually the grandmother of her 4-month-old baby, Trig. The allegation was that the baby was the child of her teenage daughter Bristol, and Palin faked a pregnancy to cover this up. How better to knock down the story that you're a grandmother and your daughter was knocked up than to reveal that you're about to be a grandmother and your daughter is knocked up (and that the girl plans to marry the father of the child)?  One hopes Bristol Palin's pregnancy means fewer speeches at the Republican Convention about the value of abstinence-only education for our teenagers, but we'll probably just hear about the value of choosing life, as if giving birth before your high school graduation is better than making honor roll. Isn't this all becoming a little too much? I hope the governor and grandmother-to-be is not planning a combination inaugural and destination wedding in D.C.
