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.

    Palin's Family Issues are Small Potatoes

    Seriously, I know she has trotted her family out to satisfy the hardcore pro-life crowd, but this fervor is distracting us from other issues that are far more relevant to her choice as McCain's VP.

    She's had to lawyer up for "Troopergate" and there are some very serious questions about her firing town employees who didn't support her mayoral run. She belonged to an Alaskan secessionist organization. She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. She has long been a proponent of lobbing for earmarks for Alaska. She's a creationist and a global warming denier and she appears to be in bed with the oil and coal industry.

    Well, I could go on.

    Has McCain lost his marbles? Did he vet her at ALL? Even without the family drama, she has a lot of negatives.
