Apparently Sing Tao Daily, the 2nd largest Chinese language newspaper, has a front page story today on Sarah Palin, reporting those ridiculous rumors of her youngest son with Downs as actually being her grandchild as "news."
Chinese language newspapers do have a penchant for sensationalist yellow journalism, which really bothers me considering the large readership they have. Including Chinese in the US, such as my parents, who are part of the voting population.
Sure, this particular news story casts Palin unfavorably in their eyes, but the "news" they (and many others) consume in Sing Tao could be equally unfavorable (and just as false) for the Democrats, too.

Sarah Palin's daughter 17-year old daughter Bristol is indeed pregnant. She's keeping the kid and marrying the father. No judgment here, a baby is a beautiful thing. A 17-year old getting pregnant isn't exactly new to the universe. All the best wishes to Bristol as she becomes a mother.
But I can tell you two things however: The Dems better be damned careful around how they respond to this one (if at all), andThe theory that the McSame camp didn't bother to vet Sarah Palin at all looms ever larger as more evidence piles up on that side of the ledger. You'd think this would be something the McSame folks would want to know ahead of time.
UPDATE: The Obama camp has made it crystal clear that Bristol Palin and the rest of Sarah Palin's family is 100% off-limits. Good for him. Any attack on Palin at all along these lines and the GOP will play the misogyny card.
