I'm torn. I mostly agree with Jerry but also acknowledge the fact that it is Palin herself who brought the whole thing into the public realm. She has been far from shy about inserting her family life into the public debate which does tend to change my opinion on what is fair game.
Fortunately, in this case, I don't think it matters one way or another. If she lied about being Trig's mother, so what? I really don't care. If she runs for President in 2012 though and starts inserting her family into the discussion though, that might change my mind. I don't know.
