Required Reading: More From Wasilla

From Time.com, “In Wasilla, Pregnancy Was No Secret” by Nathan Thornburgh The suddenly ubiquitous Thornburgh provides actual reporting in lieu of speculation regarding Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. Thornburgh better be careful – he could receive a lifetime ban from some fevered precincts in the blogosphere for doing that kind of thing.

So his name is Levi. That’s about the only thing that I didn’t know about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. The rest of the details I picked up almost without trying, while talking about other things with townsfolk – some who know the governor and her family well, some who don’t. It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it’s really nobody’s business beyond that. I happen to agree.

Hopefully this piece will help mollify the left’s touching concern over the thoroughness of Senator McCain’s vetting process.
