Final 2008 Digs at Palin?   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

An early version of the AP story on Sarah Palin's grandson was pretty bad. Apparently someone noticed, because it has since changed. Last night, it read: "The teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose quest for the vice presidency began to go downhill the day she announced the pregnancy, has given birth to a son, a magazine reported Monday."

It now reads: "The daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has given birth to a son, a magazine reported Monday." And later: "The announcement that the unmarried Bristol Palin, 17 at the time, was pregnant immediately drew concerns that it could damage Palin's credibility as a religious conservative. But many observers noted the pregnancy served to humanize the Palins and showcase the candidate's rejection of abortion."
