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.

    The father of this out of wedlock child

    is reported to be 26 or 27. WTF?? Where were her parents when their daughter was hanging around with a man ten years her senior? Did it not occur to someone in that fruitcake household that it might not be appropriate? I would love to know just how many times in the last year these parents ate dinner with their children - I'm willing to wager that it wasn't too often.

    I feel sorry for this kid. Her daddy is a drunk; her mother is a scheming, lying, ambitious whore who doesn't have the decency to decline the offer of the VP; and she'll probably never go to college.

    I don't know who has any pull in the GOP these days, but someone has to tell Sarah and John that she will not do. And she should be replaced by someone with some brains - Whitman, Hutchinson, Rice - if they have to have a women. Colin Powell or Tom Ridge would have been great.
