Hurricane Bristol hits Minnesota

Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.

    My bet is...

    Palin will be dropped from the ticket and in a year's time she will either

    A) Have her own "Judge" show

    or

    B) be a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars"

    BUT all kidding aside: Barack is right, family should be off limits and he proved to be the bigger person in making his statement. In a perfect world this wouldn't be a big story, but guess what?

    This speaks volumes regarding both Mcain's judgement AND Palin's parenting skills. What part of the message about 'teen abstinence' did Bristol not hear? Or was Mommy too busy off being super mayor-governor-former beauty pageant winner with a gun person? They can certainly try, but this can't be spun by the Republicans. All of the sudden teen pregnancy is okay for them? "Well at least she's going to have the baby and not abort it." Are they on crack? If Obama or Biden had this going on in their families right now it would be game over.
