No Virgin Mary

Oh what a day! Super Mom, Super Holy, Super Governor Sarah Palin has just confirmed that her 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant. She was sad to report that it was not an immaculate conception but just a plain old sinful premarital sex act.

The Daily Kos (aka - absurd whackjob liberals equal in stature to the social conservatives) did some ridiculous reporting that Sarah Palin faked her own pregnancy and then was pretending that Trig was really her son rather than Grandson. This was beyond wishful thinking - this was just crazy mean. Those people are just an embarrassment.

That being said - Sarah Palin just reinforced her status as the worst VP pick in the history of the world. OK, her daughter is pregnant. Shit happens.  I found it quite amusing though that the first thing was to tell everyone "Oh they are getting married." I guess this is all the crazy Christians need to forgive her sins. I am happy that she is not having an abortion - I am not a big fan. I would not have looked any less on her if she had decided she was going to have one. It is her business - not mine.

I found it interesting that adoption didn't come into the discussion. Let's be real. How many shotgun weddings of two 17 years olds with a newborn end up being a success story?  I guess they figured with a mom who is a Governor or potential VP there won't be much concern about being successful, having support or landing jobs/careers with cronies. If she were the daughter of two Wal-Mart employees living in public housing I wonder if they would be advocating marriage and not considering adoption. Perhaps the are concerned it would be adopted by gays! I guess they couldn't hide it by sending her out of the country for 9 months...I am sure she, like her Mother, doesn't have a passport!

You know what the real hypocrisy of this story is? Our little Promise keeper Bristol Palin was raised with the wonderfully effective abstinence only program. I am not saying she would have avoided becoming pregnant if she knew about contraception (and was told it was not a sin), but every reliable study says that real education would have reduced her chances. Social conservatives love to throw up their bogus studies about the effectiveness of abstinence only programs, but they have been debunked be every credible medical researcher. Of course, the program did have its benefits. It produced more and more Christian girls who won't have intercourse but are happy to blow you are take it in the ass!

Just another wonderful new revelation about Sarah Palin. It isn't going to hurt her - and it should not. But what it says about the far right and the way they operate is laughable. Now all we need is for 18 year old soldier track Palin to turn out to be gay. Oh how I would love to see that one.
