"Palin faces an ongoing family soap opera that continues to undercut her political message. Bristol Palin broke up with Levi Johnston, the father of their child."

Meantime the guy that did end up as VP gets a pass. His beer-bottle-throwing daughter is invisible, his hedge-fund scandal-ridden son is unknown and his own stinginess ($389 in annual charitable giving was his high-water mark in 10 years) goes unexamined.

But the people need to be insulated from that sort of thing, you know.
