C'mon, I don't think they're serious about the Palin daughter being a future President.
I understand your concern that we need to avoid becoming an 'American Bandstand political bloc'. Yet there indeed are children out there who don't have proper role models, even their parents. If Palin can fill this void for even a small percentage of them then it is worth it, in spades.

Absolutely true.

If Palin can fill this void for even a small percentage of them then it is worth it, in spades.

I would agree with that too, provisionally, but what does that
have to do with my objection to idol worship and the lionization
of Mrs. Palin's daughter? Am I missing something?

Regardless, I'd also agree Mrs. Palin would be an outstanding
role model but certainly NOT a quasi-deified solution to all of life's problems.

It just seems to get a bit deep sometimes.
