Video: Bill Bennett rips CNN for turning Palin’s daughter into a political football
hotair.com ^ | September 1, 2008 | Allahpundit

We got a bunch of excited e-mails about this leading me to think it was some sort of O’Reilly/Geraldo nuclear exchange. It’s okay — perfectly righteous about not turning Bristol Palin into some sort of springboard for a venal talking-head debate on abstinence education, but cordial and low key. The real outrage, as you’ll see, is CNN bringing up the pregnancy rumors about Palin herself as an intro to the Bristol piece. Here’s how easy it would have been for them to check that before going on air with it. Stay classy, CNN.

That clip and the Bennett clip are linked to the first image below; beneath that you’ll find a link to video of Bill Kristol getting exercised at Mort Kondracke along the same lines. Click both to watch. Exit question: Per BB’s logic, how is Palin supposed to be questioned about abstinence-only now given how close the issue hits to home? Any attempt to do so will call to mind her daughter and end up treating her like a political football, even if she isn’t specifically mentioned.

Unfortunately, Palin has just become a huge distraction. I wouldn't be surprised if she removes herself from the VP running.

I got tired of hearing about her by Saturday and it just keeps getting worse.

It’ll pass. Pulling out would be the worst thing she could do — hand the Rats a total victory.

Sorry, but I see it exactly the opposite. She represents the anti-thesis of Obama-Biden and her story is and will eat their sack lunch.

The more the MSM and DNC draw attention to her, the more she will resonate with the people...the voters.


HOW THE PALIN PICK TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

Not yet. If she does okay through the convention and there are no more little tidbits of a non-serious nature, such as has come out already, she should be okay.

Yes we should all give up whenever you tire of hearing something for 72 hours. Please add me to the “give up after 3 days” ping list.

I don't recall the MSM EVER bringing up this "rumor", although the obvious to a common sense person already is a known answer.....

These people are despicable. Hillary Clinton supporters are having flashbacks. The more they do this the more votes McCain gets.

No! That is Exactly what the left wants! I have contacted the McCain Campaign to tell them we are totally behind them, and I would hope, so has the vast majority of Freepers. Yes, the media attention on this subject Infuriates me, but we cannot allow them to dictate who our leaders are! So I just let them carry on, and hope they hoist themselves on their own petard!

You should have been in O’Fallon Missouri Saturday. I was there and she was what people came to see. She got a tremendous response.

I think that this is causing a backlash in McCain’s favor. Barack Obama himself has denounced the coverage of this story.

Stay classy, CNN.

Stay classy? I do not think that CNN has EVER been classy. Staying as the vermin they are would be no change. I suspect that network has had a questionable and corrupt agenda since its creation.

So huge of a distraction that $10M in campaign donations came into McCain's coffers this week end

Then maybe you should have got off your arse, turned off the internet, and CNN and went outside for a few days to enjoy your holiday weekend with your family and friends.
She’s a distraction from what? The constant media orgy of their god Obama? Get real. Man up, will ya.
