Oh, for fuck's sake.

To rebut rumors, Palin says daughter, 17, is pregnant.

This stupid bullshit makes my head hurt.

A few things:

a.) I don't believe the conspiracy theory that Governor Palin's youngest child is actually her grandchild. Granted, she seems to have been a really skinny seven-months-pregnant woman, and I know American politics is a really dumb soap-opera-in-progress, but STILL.

b.) Having said that, that means that Governor Palin got on a plane to fly back to Alaska from Texas while leaking amniotic fluid during the last stages of a very high-risk pregnancy. Her husband's excuse? "You can't have a fish picker in Texas." I hate that it's a personal situation that I'm pointing at here, and yet there is nothing about any of the decisions involved in that situation that is NOT profoundly moronic.

c.) Having said all of THAT, Bristol Palin being pregnant NOW does not actually do much to rebut rumors that she might have been pregnant THEN. Quite frankly, considering the pro-life movement usually has no problem implying that teen moms are sluts, you'd think they would realize that acknowledging she's pregnant now might make people suspect it actually lends credence to the theory. (Note: It doesn't.)

d.) "The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama's name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change,"' a senior aide said. Yes, because if the Daily Kos presents this theory, it obviously means that Obama's campaign has something to do with it. Say, when can we go after McCain's campaign for all of those blogs that imply that Obama is a secret explosive Muslim candy bar born in twenty-seven different countries?

e.) Why am I even talking about this poor kid? She's obviously been through enough crap. God, I'm starting to hate this election.

Governor Sarah Palin, the woman John McCain picked for his vice-president, has five kids, including a teenage daughter and a newborn with Down's syndrome. Daily Kos (and some other liberal blogs, although that's the only one I've seen) theorized that it was a cover-up and that the newborn was actually the teenage daughter's secret baby. They have some anecdotes that sound questionable and a series of candid public photos taken of Governor Palin during her pregnancy that don't show her gaining any weight (or at least not making it very evident ).

Governor Palin then threw out the news that her teenage daughter is five months pregnant (and marrying the father). It makes it almost impossible for the daughter to have been the birth mother, unless you're really, REALLY pushing it. (But, if you love the conspiracy enough and believe they'll lie about anything up to and including the daughter's current state of pregnancy, it's possible. Barely, but still.)

So...basically everyones nuts because she's a prolife republican tipper gore, and censor lovin and has a daughter thats unwed, teenaged and pregnant slong with a mystery child whos only a few months old?

It's called Hypocrisy - Where would politics be without it?

Well, there's also this line in the article:

"Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said."

So according to her mom, she gets a choice but nobody else's daughter should. Interesting, huh? *eye roll*

so, I got it right -- basically she's (as is the republican party) a big FLAMING HYPOCRITE...*you have no idea how much I wanted to write lesbian :D*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair, the choice was probably adoption vs. keeping it, but at the same time, how many people get that choice even if they do decide to carry it? When you're young and poor and against aborting your baby, where's the help for you if you want to keep it? Oh, no, sorry, you welfare whore, there's a nice Christian family who'd like your baby!

Ugh. *headdesk*
