GOP Respond to Palin Crisis in Typical Fashion: Talking Points
[my commentary]
INTERNAL DOCUMENT - NOT TO BE EMAILED BEYOND CURRENT DISTRIBUTION LIST
Governor Palin and her husband Todd have a loving family and their children mean everything to them. When their oldest daughter Bristol came to them with news that she was expecting a child they embraced her and gave her nothing but unconditional love and support. [No matter what anyone tells you, we did not say, “Holy fucking shit! We’re trying to get in the god damned White House you dumb little slut! What the fuck are you trying to do, ruin our lives?”]
This is a very personal matter for the family. We should all respect the love they have for the child and the desire all parents would have for their children’s privacy. [do NOT mention that we are flying out the baby daddy to the convention so as to appear like one big happy family, thus hypocritically exploiting that which we say should remain private!]
The media should respect Bristol’s privacy. That’s always been the tradition and practice when it comes to the children of candidates. [Except, of course, when we Republicans decide to exploit them at a political convention]
(If pressed) The children of candidates do not choose to run for office and be thrust into the spotlight. [Again, best not to mention the fact that we are going to parade them out in front of the base to thunderous applause! (including the baby daddy)]
