Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.

    There's a Reason Why Bristol has Baby Trig Plastered to her Chest

    And why she is draped in a flowing white blanket while holding him. I mean come on, she only needs a burp pad on her shoulder, not a white robe.

    Ahhh.. a white robe! A young woman, her face framed by pulled-back dark hair, a baby held close to her at all times, a white robe atop her clothes.

    She is being iconized. She is supposed to remind us of another dark haired, white-draped young lady cradling a baby who lived more than 2,000 years ago.

    I kid you not. The GOP is Mary-izing this girl. And it will work. Remember, though Mary had a baby, she was a virgin. They are making Bristol look like a virgin mother. Get ready to see Bristol carrying that baby with her day and night.

    But don't ask me who is going to hold that little baby when her own child is born. Certainly not her busy, busy mom.
