Andrew Sullivan wants Oprah to ask Sarah Palin why she refuses to account for her whereabouts on November 22, 1963. Plus whether she and her minor daughter and untold others engaged in a massive coverup of her son Trig's true parentage -- the most effective libel of the 2008 campaign.
Sullivan links to a site that calls him a Palin birther, which you would think he would find embarrassing, but he doesn't. Sure, Palin's behavior in the New York 23rd congressional district race demonstrates that she's becoming toxic when it comes to rebuilding a GOP that can compete at the national level. All hope is gone that she would parlay her political capital into the makings of a mature, party-strengthening 2012 or 2016 candidacy. But rather than implying that other media figures are wrong for failing to indulge the fantasy about Trig, Sullivan should just admit that he erred in giving the false, "Desperate Housewives"-inspired pass-the-baby story a vital boost by repeating it before checking the facts. Nothing Palin could ever do will erase his shame.

Let's take a look at facts that are easily accessible.
Trig's birthday: April 18, 2008
Tripp's birthday: December 29, 2008
Tripp's weight at birth: 7lbs 7oz
Days between dates: 255
Average human gestation period: 280 days
What I'd say to Andrew Sullivan: Do the math. Then, admit you were wrong and apologize.
Amen! And Barry, it's not like I'm shilling for Gov. Palin! Heck, I admire Sullivan much more than she.
