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.

    Hypocrits

    The neocons, as usual, are hypocrits. They whine about how bloggers and the media should leave the Bristol pregnancy story alone, yet would have jumped all over the Obamas if one of their girls had gotten pregnant at 17.

    What I find ironic about this is both John McCain and Sarah Palin are in favor of abstinence-only education. In addition, St. McCain is on record as having voted against spending federal money on teenage pregnancy prevention programs and in favor of teenage mothers having to stay in school or lose their benefits. What does this say about his and his VP's judgment?
