That picture is real and not photoshopped. It is an enlargement of one in an ADN article on that date. Most people in Alaska were stunned when she gave birth. Here is an excerpt from the article announcing the pregnancy: "The governor, who recently turned 44, told a handful of reporters as she was leaving work to expect a new member of the first family, then headed to a reception at the Baranof Hotel to feast on king crab. Palin said she's already about seven months along, with the baby due to arrive in mid-May. That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who's always been trim, simply doesn't look pregnant. Even close members of her staff said they only learned this week their boss was expecting. "I thought it was becoming obvious," Palin said. "You know, clothes getting snugger and snugger." But people just couldn't believe the news. "Really? No!" said Bethel state Rep. Mary Nelson, who is close to giving birth herself. "It's wonderful. She's very well-disguised," said Senate President Lyda Green, a mother of three who has sometimes sparred with Palin politically. "When I was five months pregnant, there was absolutely no question that I was with child."" adn.com Now here's an old photo of her when she was pregnant......assuming it wasn't photoshopped. If real, there is a significant difference: Apparently, she was in Texas at a Governor's conference when her water broke. She then gave a speech, got on a plane, flew 9 1/2 hours and then drove to her hometown to deliver. People were extremely surprised by that revelation. Yes, people don't understand that one........most women go immediately to the hospital when their water breaks. And she refuses to release a copy of the birth certificate. So, I can understand why the rumors persist. Not that I buy into them, I just don't have the information. But it is all very weird. Now that's very weird.

Palin has a reputation for secrecy and saying things that aren't quite true. Okay, so you've branded this woman a liar. Can you, perhaps, cite specifically some instances where she lied? Specifics, please, with no liberal blogs involved.
