Trig Palin, we demand to see your birth certificate!

Professor Brad Scharlott of Northern Kentucky University, Business Insider writes, has a theory that former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin faked her last pregnancy.

The theory popped up during the 2008 presidential campaign, when she was the GOP vice-presidential candidate, but didn’t make it past a few news cycles.

In any event: Professor Scharlott has been conducting a series of interviews with a blogger who has made investigating Palin’s story somewhat of a hobby, Laura Novak.

In the most recent interview, Scharlott has published a montage of what he says are stills from a Palin video shot on April 8th, 2008 and a photo of an apparently very pregnant Palin taken a few days later.

Scharlott concludes that the most likely explanation for the second photo is that it was staged, with Palin wearing a prosthetic pillow to provide evidence of her pregnancy.

Therefore, I demand see Trig’s long-form birth certificate. That should establish where the baby was born. And if Palin produces it, I suspect I’ll be able to claim it was doctored.
