Sarah Palin on a trip to Texas two days before her son was born looking visibly fuller faced with a protruding stomach

As the Obama birther debate rages through the media, one man thought he would do a Donald Trump of his own and introduce another conspiracy theory.

Rumours were rife in 2008 when Sarah Palin announced her late pregnancy with her fifth child that the baby was actually Bristol's and she wanted to avoid a scandal while she was running for vice president.

A university professor has now written a whole academic article about it outlining specific evidence against the Alaska governor which 'prove' - or what he sees as proof - that the baby was actually her daughters.

Professor Bradford Scharlott of Northern Kentucky University deduced two main things from his study - that the 'conspiracy theory' - as it was brushed off as then - is likely true, and that the U.S. media is pathetic for not pursuing the story more aggressively.

Professor Scharlott backs up his theory with 'evidence', the main exhibits being two photographs showing Palin supposedly in the late stages of pregnancy with a very flat stomach.

However, a photo taken of Palin during the trip to Texas in April 2008 where she says her waters broke shows not only a pregnant stomach but a visibly fuller face and breasts, all signs of late pregnancy.

One of the pictures Professor Scharlett uses as 'evidence' that Sarah Palin was not pregnant, taken a month before Trig was born, claiming the scarf does not disguise a pregnant stomach but a flat stomach

Some of Professor Scharlett's other theories were that Palin made a 20-hour leisurely trip from Texas to a hospital in Alaska after going into labour instead of having it there.

PROFESSOR SCHARLOTT'S 'EVIDENCE'

Sarah and Todd Palin made a 'leisurely' 20-hour trip to Alaska back from the Republican governor's association in Texas instead of having the baby there.

The Mat Su Regional Medical Centre has no birth record of a Trig Palin being born there.

It also also does not have facilities for a pre-natal intensive care unit which is needed for a child being born with Downs Syndrome.

After Palin's speech in Texas, Todd Palin emailed three of his friends to say her speech 'kicked ass' but nothing about the birth of their fifth child.

When Palin was asked three days after the pregnancy - when she returned to work - about her water breaking in Texas, as Todd had claimed, she looked confused and taken aback, stumbling her way through an answer.

Her physician Dr Baldwin Johnson has never released the info needed to debunk the rumours and put the story to rest despite repeated requests.

He also said the hospital has no record of a Trig Palin being born on April 18, 2008, the day Palin claims her fifth child was born.

when a reporter from the Anchorage News sought to put the rumours to bed for good, she was stonewalled by Conservatives and Palin's physician refused to give her the information she needed.

Professor Scharlott goes on to attack the media, with another theory as to why they didn't go after the truth more vigorously and thoroughly as they should have.

According to Business Insider, he believes that conservatives have been extraordinarily effective at shaming anyone who has even brought up the matter, let alone investigated it.

He notes how different this is than the Democrats ability to quell the other conspiracy theory that has obsessed the nation in recent years--the theory that President Obama was born in Kenya.

It remains to be seen if this will simply be another academic article that goes relatively unnoticed, or if someone will take the time to pursue this matter in the same gung-ho fashion Donald Trump has taken on the Obama issue - especially now that Palin may be a 2012 presidential candidate.

Professor Scharlott is now asking for baby Trig's full birth certificate to prove that Sarah Palin is the mother.
