I just watched the most amazing bit of TV in decades - I cannot wait to see the YouTube version of it. Wolf Ditzer (aka Blitzer) was hosting Gloria Berger, Bill Bennet, Donna Brazille an John King (I believe) on The Situation Room and were discussing young Bristol Palin’s (Governor Palin’s oldest daughter) pregnancy and her plans to have the baby and marry the father. At the center of this discussion was Barack Obama’s call to keep the families (and these personal decisions) off limits. But what does CNN do? They air a woman reporter who ran to Alaska questioning the entire abstinence position of Governor Palin in light of her daughter’s pregnancy. It was pathetic.
Besides the Duh factor that abstinence works every time it is tried (pregnancies being proof of the opposite) Bill Bennet was rightfully outraged at CNN and Blitzer for bringing the Palin family’s personal issues into the debate like this. Bennett was hammering Blitzer who did not want to concede CNN crossed the line.
John King was looking just stunned and as if he was going to get sick. He wanted nothing to do with the muck raking by CNN.

What would YOU know about high-class, low-class or any type of class?
You'd have to climb a tall, tall ladder to even get a glimspe of no-class!
Wrong on both counts.
Laura Ingraham just made a good point on FOX. If Bristol had unproected sex and then had an abortion, they’d be cheering the girl.
Give it up, dude.
You’re seriously getting on my nerves.
Too bad Barack’s 18 year old mother didn’t feel ‘punished.’
Put Fox News on now. BOR is slathered up about it.
“I see no relevance for determination of how she will handle being VP”
I do.
It shows she won’t desert her daughter, or her daughter’s unborn child, for political gain.
I want a President, and Vice President, who feel that America is their family, and won’t desert them, or their soldiers overseas, for political gain.

There is fine line between doing what is right and being sanctimonious. In the end, we pray the girl will, if she hasn't already, look at the child as a blessing and as long as they are good parents who do not go on welfare, then she has a chance to make it right. Let's give her that chance.
You have noticed this is not the only big “expose” the msm is working on regarding Palin? You do understand its because her presence on the ticket scares them and their dem masters to death? I agree with you, forgive. And move on. We need to stay united against the libs.
No, the disclosure was made just minutes before the liberals ran with “a story.” The one about how Kos Klowns sent every liberal in a tizzy about her daughter having had the son. Yeah as if I think the press is that smart.
Sarah and Todd made a public announcement disclosing to the entire public that their daughter was pregnant, and soon to be married.
It is not ‘off limits’, it is completely out in the open.
However, trying to turn it into more than it is, is ‘off limits’, and can only be surmised as malicious intent for political gain.
You do know what the bloggers, and various websites have already claimed, don’t you?
Sorry.
Perhaps you should follow Barack’s advise and declare this...
“off limits.”
But as for me and conservatives like me.... I hate to see this scandal.
So, just where do you think these ‘liberals’ got their information?

So his name is Levi.
That's about the only thing that I didn't know about Bristol Palin's pregnancy. The rest of the details I picked up almost without trying, while talking about other things with townsfolk — some who know the governor and her family well, some who don't. It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it's really nobody's business beyond that.
ROFL.....Way to Go!
That’s a good question.
Am I to guess the McCain/Palin handlers “leaked” it to them?
Makes sense to me.
