Did Sarah Palin get a boob job? Doubtful, but photos surfacing in recent days showing the former V.P. candidate looking noticeably curvier have the web buzzing.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” a Palin insider tells Us Weekly of the rumor, which started after Palin’s visit to Sunday’s Belmont Stakes horse race in Belmont, N.Y.

Is it ridiculous, though?

Check out the Sarah Palin pictures below, from last year (left, middle) and then this past weekend (right). Doesn’t really disprove the rumor, does it?

Is Sarah Palin spending those huge paychecks on … well, see above?

If you think this is nonsense and attributable to the angle and/or choice of clothing, you could be right. But consider this evidence from the D.C. gossip blog Wonkette:

  • Straight women spend up to 37 percent of their time evaluating the breasts of their friends, enemies, peers and strangers, keeping detailed mental records.
  • They weigh factors such as pregnancy, wardrobe, diet, exercise, miraculous undergarments and cosmetic surgery professionals quoted in tabloids.
  • At least two people with experience in having breasts say that Sarah Palin sure looks like she was trotting out some new work at the race on Sunday.

Sounds like an air-tight case to us. We’re sold.
