I just watched the most amazing bit of TV in decades - I cannot wait to see the YouTube version of it. Wolf Ditzer (aka Blitzer) was hosting Gloria Berger, Bill Bennet, Donna Brazille an John King (I believe) on The Situation Room and were discussing young Bristol Palin’s (Governor Palin’s oldest daughter) pregnancy and her plans to have the baby and marry the father. At the center of this discussion was Barack Obama’s call to keep the families (and these personal decisions) off limits. But what does CNN do? They air a woman reporter who ran to Alaska questioning the entire abstinence position of Governor Palin in light of her daughter’s pregnancy. It was pathetic.
Besides the Duh factor that abstinence works every time it is tried (pregnancies being proof of the opposite) Bill Bennet was rightfully outraged at CNN and Blitzer for bringing the Palin family’s personal issues into the debate like this. Bennett was hammering Blitzer who did not want to concede CNN crossed the line.
John King was looking just stunned and as if he was going to get sick. He wanted nothing to do with the muck raking by CNN.

“But as for me and conservatives like me.... I hate to see this scandal.”
Isn’t that all that the MSM and Nutroots like KOS and DU have to talk about?
They can’t SELL their products without Scandals.
I’m working too hard to get you to the eighteenth century and you’re working too hard to avoid it, but I’m satisfied you know exactly what I was referring to.
No, I’m looking for a link from last week.
Thanks.
No, you're low-class for thinking that the 17 year old daughter's personal life has anything to do with this election! You've been all over the threads today with this attitude and as far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the POS media! This was, and should have stayed, a private family matter! This poor child is not running for office and should be off-limits! In my eyes, your the same POS as the creeps over at DU and KOS for thinking this belongs in the public arena!
Hey Hot Tabasco I know that too Jack ass What your Problem ?
Thanks....
The attacks on Palin are a classic Saul Alinsky use of one's own "impossibly high standards" against one.
The Left ought to be answered with Bill Clinton's rape of Juanita Broaddrick, Ted Kennedy's drunken murder of Mary Jo Kopechne, Barack Hussein Obama's murderous jihad against babies--
The Family Palin presents as obviously the superior ethical example to any of these.
The Left triumphed with macacca and Craig and Foley--but this is not that: The Palin's do not purport to be perfect.
The baby will be raised by married parents--compare to Obama's own parents about whose marital status he confessed too much squeamishness to investigate.
Real life is above his pay grade.
Mention ought to be made that John Edward's heartless infidelity and disowned lust-child was lubricated with the checks of an Obama supporter for the purpose of defeating Hillary.
Hillary supporters, pay special attention that this tactic has been used to sabotage your candidate--think of this as the final sexist insult.
She was too pushing them ears out
No one is praising this. What they are praising is her decision not to have an abortion and to marry the father.
I’d like to hear when it would be a good time to out of the blue willingly bring a 17 year old’s pregnancy into the national discussion. What relevance does that have? Should McCain announce Palin and so oh by the way her daughter’s pregnent.
You don’t need to be a hypocrite. You are ridiculous.
The reason they are hitting so hard and so fast against the mothers Palin:

“Am I to guess the McCain/Palin handlers “leaked” it to them?”
Didn’t have too.
Anyone with a computer and an internet connection could have found out for themselves.
The instant McCain announced Palin as his VP pick, there was a mad rush to Alaska by media ‘reporters’ eager to get any ‘scandal’ news they could to rush back to their home offices.
Since it was no big secret, they did find something, just like the TROOPERGATE incident.
Palin disclosed, (and had prior to her VP announcement) all the details of the TROOPER she had fired.
And she had d*mn good reason. And he was an in-law.
Can’t, we switched to dish and don’t have fox on our package.
They can't, they simply don't have any. Fortunately they are cutting their own throats and who deserves that more than they.
See post 177
McCain/Palin would still be in denial.
Now, after all this charade of yours about the Palin's disclosure importance in regards to her daughter's pregnancy, I have a question for you:...what's your beef and what do you expect to gain from it?
If you are one of those "holier than thou my shit don't stink" type of guy, you're in the wrong place at a very wrong time.
BTW Bristol Palin pregnancy is NOT a scandal! It is Palin family issue PERIOD!...and none of your damn business! Lay off of it!
Yawn.
Ahhh. Another Obama supporter heard from.
Sorry, but when Obama tells me this topic is “off limits”, then I say....
Well, never mind my what I might say..
But hey. If you and Obama want to get your panties in a wad over my outrage that McCain and Palin LIED, then feel free.
If morality is “off limits”, then feel free to flame away on me. Cause I will take a stand against immorality.
This is not a private family matter. The fact you are here with your lame attacks proves that.
And it proves you are a hypocrite.
No - McCain/Palin aren't the low-lifes........YOU ARE!
