Where Will The Left Go Now?

We shall see:
Should Bristol Palin have just "done the right thing" and aborted the child?
John Taylor peers into the depths of dark minds:

Rather than apologizing to Gov. Palin and her 17-year-old daughter for lending his prestigious blog to the claim that they had engaged in a comic pass-the-baby conspiracy right out of “Desperate Housewives,” Andrew Sullivan morphs back into the responsible journalist he’d been until yesterday, demanding that the McCain campaign validate his behavior by providing proof that Palin is really Trig’s mother:

[W]hat harm would it do to release the medical records showing that Sarah Palin delivered Trig on April 18 in Wasilla? This is not hard: there must be an obstetrician, medical records, and data that can easily refute this rumor. It is not out of the ordinary either: candidates routinely issue medical records. So let’s have them. And then we can move on.
First, it wasn’t a rumor. It was a potentially libelous story manufactured by a left-wing blog that Sullivan chose to publicize and amplify without checking the facts or urging his MSM contacts to do so. Second, let’s do the math together. Bristol is five months pregnant. That means her child was conceived about April 1. Does Sullivan really need to see records showing that she wasn’t giving birth on April 18? Let’s have Sullivan’s apology. And then we can move on.

Incredible. UPDATE: Michelle Malkin:
Bristol Palin chooses life. Now leave her alone. . . . The Palin family values the sanctity of life. They talk the talk and walk the walk. It is driving the Left absolutely insane beyond the farthest reaches of unhingedness. Now comes the news that 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant. “News” that wouldn’t be news but for the nutroots P.D.S. conspiracy theories that won’t die.
UPDATE II: More from Laura Bush via Allahpundit:
The other side is going to have to be particularly careful
And Ed Morrissey:
When our first granddaughter, the Little Admiral, joined us, it was in a similar situation that Bristol and her fiancé now face. . . . A baby is new life, an addition to the family, and most people would welcome this. And many can never experience that joy, either. It is a blessing, as long as people don’t treat it like a catastrophe.
