Sarah Palin, Gov. of Santa's Village
-Headline of the day-
"Palin says her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant."
Unmarried Sarah Palin spawn Bristol Palin is knocked up. But she's going to get married, because the Palin family is righteous and family values-types and a fine example of how sex-ed in schools is bad for America and how abstinence-only education is the right way to go. Score one for reality in action.
Reached for comment, John McCain told reporters, "Damn! Fuck! Damn, damn, damn!"
Way to vet her, John. (Raw Story)
-Poll-itics-
A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds that only 40% think Sarah Palin is qualified to be president. This is a problem for someone whose primary responsibility would be to be the White House's spare tire. That's the lowest percentage since Bush I chose Dan Quayle as a running mate.
Remember the day that Sarah Palin's veephood was announced? Remember how I said that Republicans could mark that day as the moment everything started going to crap?
That prediction is turning out to be more justified than even I thought it could be. (Huffington Post)
-Who says she's not qualified?-
Not FOX News' Steve Doocy, who believes that she's eminently qualified to be McCain's understudy. Of course, Doocy is the foxbot who said she was a foreign policy whiz "because she is right up there in Alaska right next door to Russia." Yeah, they both border the Pacific and so does Japan, so Steve's reasoning dictates she also knows the secret ways of the ninja.
But this time around, Doocy has even more specious reasoning:
...she’s a mother of five. And we were out at the state fair and somebody said, "Look, any person who can help raise five children … certainly could be vice-president of the United States." They said being a mom is tougher than being vice-president.
Steve Doocy believes that Sarah Palin is qualified because some unnamed guy from the tractor-pull at a state fair -- who may be apocryphal -- said any woman with five kids has all the experience you need.
