As mentioned here yesterday, the National Enquirer says that the reason Sarah Palin spilled the beans to the press about her 17 year old daughter being pregnant is because the Enquirer was about to go public... and Palin wanted to pre-empt the news herself.

The Enquirer article comes out on the stands now.

Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to quietly have her daughter Bristol get married before news of her pregnancy leaked out, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively in its new issue.

 

Palin planned for the wedding to take place right after the Republican National Convention and then she was going to announce the pregnancy.

But Bristol, 17, refused to go along with the plan and that sparked a mother-daughter showdown over the failed coverup.
