Palin And The Preggers Perdicament...

Oh, how I adore hypocritical idiots, and I particularly enjoy them when they are poorly chosen VP candidates. Like, oh, I don't know, Sarah Palin, who doesn't believe in safer sex education in schools, and also doesn't believe in telling her daughter to not have sex before marriage, because her 17-year-old daughter is now five months pregnant! Yep. Her underage child is preggers, most likely because Mommy Palin chose to not support real-life based sex education, instead pushing an abstinence only agenda, which leaves out the notion that if you make the decision to go ahead an have sex anyway, you should probably use a condom. And her daughter obviously didn't use a condom.

Now "adult" Palin is telling Palin Jr. that she will marry the boy that knocked her up. No joke. All old school and shit. It's like the 50's or something, except the only reason they are being forced to marry is because all the sudden Grandma is on the National Stage as the Conservative Arm of the Republican ticket. Mabye G-ma is a bit worried about McCain's support of measures to screw over teen mothers, so she want to betroth her daughter with the quickness.

And I'm sure the husband to be, a self-described "fucking redneck," will be just as classy a husband and father as Poppa Palin, the fisherman and snowmobiler. On a side note, this article over at the NY Daily News is a little bit creepy in tone. I mean, the new dad is kind of cute, for a Podunk hockey player, but honestly, he's still in high school, and these ladies are talking about him like he's McSteamy or something!

I'll be honest, when I first heard the news about Palin, I was a tiny bit concerned, because the immediate perception of her is that of a do-good, morally superior, hard-working all-american woman, but the more I learn about her, the more I realize that, even if some of those qualities are true, she doesn't even know what the Vice President does (video clip below)! Maybe she should have campaigned for a bit more school funding, because I learned about that back in, what, middle school? High school at the latest…
