[...] Plunderbund – August 29 Ok- so Iâ€™m just going to throw this out there because itâ€™s the first thing I thought when I saw the Palin family photo: Sarah Palin doesnâ€™t look pregnant- but her daughter kind of does. [...]

So, turns our Bristol was indeed having premarital sex and is about to become a teen mom. May be a good opportunity for the Republicans to talk about some real strategies to prevent teenagers from becoming parents (instead of just pretending that they won’t have sex). I feel sorry for Bristol.

Kind of reminds me of Frankie Coleman’s DUI when everyone was begging everyone else to let it be a personal issue that they should be allowed to deal with in private.

Even Obama said the his children shouldn’t be “punished” with a baby if they make a mistake.

Covering up to save herself is one thing, covering up to save her 16 y/o daughter is another.

This story is obviously unpleasant, but I have to agree with Joe that it does deserve to be looked into given Sarah Palin’s use of her kids – and specifically of her righteous decision to carry her child with Down Syndrome to term. And because of her support of abstinence-only sex education. I’m sure the National Enquirer already has reporters in Alaska trying to verify the story (and as John Edwards can tell you, they don’t give up if there is any hit of truth there).

Fair enough, Lorraine/Jill.

Maybe I did focus too much on the pregnancy part and not enough on the potential impact her huge, ridiculous and completely unnecessary lie might have on the race if it actually turns out to be true.

But I still stand by my decision to post this and reserve the right to research and report on this topic as long as Sarah keeps using her kids as political tools.

Is there some kind of dyslexia going on this weekend regarding the words “qualifications” and “uterus”?

When did I ever say don’t question Palin’s qualifications? That’s my whole point: She’s unqualified. Why didn’t you say that in your post?

If this “has absolutely nothing to do with anyoneâ€™s uterus,” then why is your post entirely about Palin’s uterus?

If this “has everything to do with John McCainâ€™s complete lack of judgement in picking this running mate,” then why is your post entirely about Dr. Joseph’s obstetric diagnosis via photos found on the interwebs?

Your post contained absolutely no mention, let alone illustrations, of Palin being unqualified for office. Only when Jill and I took you to task on it did you venture into anything but uterus-prodding.

I understand where you are coming from, LB, but I think you are missing the point.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anyone’s uterus- it has everything to do with John McCain’s complete lack of judgement in picking this running mate.

Sarah Palin is whoring out her family for political gain. In every speech she mentions her unaborted, down sydrome son as proof of her moral superiority and never fails to mention her older, soldier son as proof of her patriotism.

Sarah brought her family into this. And she is using them as her qualifications for potentially being the next president.

We have every right to question her qualifications.

And I was obviously joking about the ‘you heard it here first’ thing- which is why I included the smiley face.
