‘cause we all know that teens who have been trained to fornicate by Planned Parenthood almost never get pregnant. Those who do get pregnant don’t stay that way for long. < sarc>

No, just more hypocrisy from the liberal media.

This is where genuinely dumb people think that just because they're on TV they can manipulate and out-smart people who live in the real world.

Which is....bizarre....if you really think about it.

Why wasn’t there a document dump on Sarah after the announcement? That would have quelled the criticism.

I have a feeling the ‘Schmidt Storm’ anticipated this. Those Wile E Coyote Democrats can’t help themselves.

McCain/Palin camp to ramp up offense on MSM, Blogs and media attacks on Palin and her family.

New video to be out by noon today.

Presser with woman backers of McCain/Palin.

Memos to Obama camp requesting the smears be stopped.

Attacks on the Blogs who are fueling the rumors and attacks.

She is running scared because the McCain/Palin team may actually succeed in removing government money from Abortions ‘R Us.

Per Fox News, the McCain campaign will be coming out with a blizt to counter attack the MSM vicious attacks — today. I hope they’ve had time to delve in to the sex lives of all the infobabes and metrosexual guys doing this “reporting”.

I’d like to see some inspiring journalists spying on the main stream drive bys....to see which TV reporters are seen drinking, breaking the law, neglecting their children, any traffic tickets...and all of the above....with video, of course.

“Memos to Obama camp requesting the smears be stopped.”

As if that’s going to do any good! B. Hussein made a statement early on that this subject is “off limits”. But you know he had his fingers crossed. He’s thrilled that the evil continues.

Actually, my sister insists that Hillary is behind a lot of this. Isn’t that the Clinton camp’s fallback strategy — to haul out the old “nuts and sluts” attacks? Face it; if Palin is VP, Hillary is so over!

Why can’t someone find details about the senior leadership at CBS, NBC, and CNN regarding those individuals and their children that had children out of wedlock?

That’s true. But I’m thinking they need to expose abortions, STDs, children’s STDs, police records, their homosexual liaisons, etc. (Maybe that wouldn’t work though; abortions and homosexual liaisons are plusses among the dems.)

Never mind...

“Why can’t someone find details about the senior leadership at CBS, NBC, and CNN regarding those individuals and their children that had children out of wedlock?”

I watched Letterman because they said he would talk about Palin. It was disgusting...he said the entire family had been on Jerry Springer.....that any mother who didn’t talk to her kid about birth control was worse than terrible....

But Letterman didn’t bring up the fact he fathered a child at nearly 60 years of age out of wedlock...by accident!

I can tell you this, Letterman’s kid would be better of with Kristol Palin as a parent. By the time his kid is her age, Letterman will be dead or in a nursing home.... a lot of good he’ll be. The height of greed and stupidity is having a child at that age.

Bristol Palin's pregnancy is a result of her mother's stated promotion of abstinence-only education.

That's stupidest thing I've heard in a really long time. I would say she is pregnant because she didn't practice abstinence not because she was taught it.

There's only one word that I think adequately describes the 'drive-by media' - maggots. Here's the dictionary definition: mag·got Audio Help (māg'ət) Pronunciation Key n. 1. The legless, soft-bodied, wormlike larva of any of various flies of the order Diptera, often found in decaying matter. 2. Slang A despicable person.

No, it wouldn't have "quelled the criticism. instead, it would have made the criticism (and rebuttal) the entirety of the Palin story from the get-go, overwhelming the boffo speech she gave on Friday.

McCain and Palin discussed this in detail before her debut as VP nominee. Including, obviously, the strategy for handling it. Which was to make her big splash on Friday, let it set in, and then do the "data dump." They knew this kind of tempest in a teapot would result, but spoiling her initial introduction with it would have been d u m b.

IMHO the next move is to explain all of the above explicitly (I have inferred it from the known facts) - and say that anyone who jumped on the "pregnant daughter" case had not revealed anything that the American people didn't instinctively know - other than the fact that people talking about Bristol are self righteous jerks.

Palin will have every mother in the country on her side in 15 seconds, and after that it will be all "go ahead, talk about Bristol. You lose votes wholesale with every word."

The pro daycare party is now concerned about a family whose mother works.

The pro career women party is now telling Palin she should stay home.

The party that chose an inexperienced minority as their candidate is concerned the Republicans have chosen an inexperienced woman.

The party that decried media scrutiny of Chelsea is devoting media scrutiny 24/7 to Bristol.
