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.

    And Tiberius

    What sort of platform has McCain's campaign or Palin herself embraced? What issues? What does she talk about? So her introduction thus far has focused only on "family values": "Hi, I am Sarah Palin, former beauty queen. I have 5 kids and I am pro-life and anti-gay marriage!" Uh, sorry, but:

    1. It sounds like you really need to focus on your family right now, and not in that Republican moral majority holier than thou sort of way.

    2. Your family values don't much resemble mine, or many other people that I know.

    3. what the f#@^*! does being anti-abortion and anti-gay have to do with Afghanistan, Russia, China, health care, supreme court nominations, global warming, post-industrial economies or free market capitalism? Does this woman know anything about anything besides looking like a Stepford Wife? If she does, she sure as hell hasn't bothered to share it with anyone publicly.
