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.

    What is the relevance of Bristol's pregnancy?

    How about the simple fact that parents whose teenage daughters get pregnant have NOT done a very good job of parenting? Isn't it fair to look at this situation and, instead of congratulating the Palin's on standing by their daughter, conclude that if they had done their jobs better the daughter's life would not have been RUINED???

    And I LOVE the speculation that Bristol may have used contraception which failed. FAT CHANCE! The failure here is in parents who failed to teach their daughter how to take care of herself because of their stupid moral beliefs. Shame on them!
