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.

    JimSC Nailed It

    The DailyKos piece raised two primary questions of fact:

    1. Did Gov. Palin actually give birth to Trigg? 2. Is Bristol pregnant now?

    The first question raises serious questions of fitness for national office. The second question...not so much.

    The Alaska governor chose to use an acknowledgement of question #2 as an unconvincing denial of question #1. In doing so, they sacrificed the privacy of their daughter and her boyfriend.

    Question #1 will not go away.
