She has a nice body, but an unfortunate resemblance to her father, IE: horse face.

A condition often referred to as ‘butter face’

Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick’s daughter is a Baby Killer.

The Congressman and his family must be devastated.

I’m with you on the religious ed. My kids go to the classes, but ultimately their faith formation is up to us as parents. And you can tell that my kids definitely have more commitment and knowledge than their other Catholic friends. (No guarantees that it will stick, but the odds are better.)

Hard to believe that this poor catechesis is 40 years old now. That there are still young people in Church is a testimony to the power of the Spirit.

It’s good that you’re not leaving teaching to the pros. I recommend getting a subscription to Catholic Answers magazine. My 16-yr-old daughter loves it.

Her tweets chronicle the life of an average upper-middle-class college girl, which is only made fascinating because she is a Congressman’s daughter. Her feed includes your standard tweets: underage drinking in the Capitol, being annoyed by activists while trying to pick up her birth control at Planned Parenthood — just a few among hundreds.

I'm beginning to wonder if this whole story is some sort of hoax.

Congressmen (and by extension their children) have THE BEST HEALTH CARE PLAN IN THE WORLD.

Are we supposed to believe that this young woman isn't able to go to a private physician to prescribe the Pill? And are we then supposed to believe that her insurance won't pay for her to have the prescription filled at a pharmacy?

This girl has NO REASON to go to Planned Parenthood, if she is it is being done to embarrass her father AND push the left's agenda.

My point was and still is ... there is a double-standard on Dem/GOP offspring. Dems are off limits and rarely, if ever, discussed. GOP offspring are fair game.

You are right. Journalists should be ashamed of their dishonesty and double standards.

I don’t disagree with you, but most “tweeting” is simply juvenile.

[achilles2000]

I agree that there is a double standard.

She does sound like a twit—who doesn’t want her friends to hate her because she’s got a GOP conressman as a father.

There are no perfect families.

As I recall, President Reagan had a daughter that was a constant source of embarrassment for him. It happens sometime that good parents have rebellious children.

I wonder though, if they are funding her college and cellphone bills and if so, why they continue to do so for a girl who insists on behaving in a way contrary to their values.

Twitter is a public forum and there is no expectation of privacy. If he is frustrated and wishes this to end, he will have to cut the funds for her cellphone.

Fitzpatrick is another liar and fraud like Snottorum, Chris Smith and the rest of the pro-life bunch that voted to appropriate Title X money yearly and increasing it during the Bush administration. Wake up everyone and stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
