I'm a lifelong Democrat but I'm completely disgusted by this nasty feeding frenzy. Let's be honest, McCain/Palin didn't turn Bristol Palin into a political issue, the extreme Left led by Crazy Kos did. They started this ridiculous rumor about Palin's youngest child and forced Palin to respond. The pathetic excuse that McCain/Palin should have known it would come out is just that, pathetic. It came out because the Left wanted to go after Palin and didn't care who they took down with her. I agree with Obama that children should be left out of it. Too bad so many of his supporters are too malicious to listen.
As for vetting, just because these are "revelations" to the MSM, how is that evidence that McCain didn't know? That Bristol Palin was pregnant was not a secret, she was clearly already showing. And Palin's political enemies in Alaska running around complaining that they weren't asked about her is beyond stupid.
