Family Values - Palin Style!

Yesterday, the media was abuzz with the news that Sarah Palin, Republican vice-presidential nominee, had announced that her 17 year old daughter is five months pregnant, in an effort to quash rumors that Palin's newborn is indeed the teenager's child.

WOW!

Ironically, the family has done the usual sidestepping and announced that the girl, Bristol, will in fact give birth to the child - as Mommy is highly opposed to abortion - and will marry the father - whoever that is. I wonder if the father even knows if the fetus is his, because if Bristol was fucking around at the age of 16 or 17, it's a crapshoot to identify who was her particular paramour that particular day, which would be around the middle to end of April, right around tax time. Maybe she was fucking the family accountant.

Palin also has requested the family be left alone during this time of hardship, as they face a personal matter. Funny how it is a personal matter when its her kid, but all the preaching about abstinence Palin has done and the legislature she tried to pass while in Alaska to get sex-ed in public schools to teach ONLY abstinence, she seemed to be trying to tell the rest of the world how she wants them to live. Now the shoe is on the other foot and she wants no media attention.

That also explains why Bristol was carrying the Down syndrome baby - to cover up her own baby bump.

So it boils down to this:

Sarah Palin want the American public to do as she says, but to ignore what she does in her private life, because that's different.

Palin obviously never spoke to Bristol about sex, having sex, abstaining from sex, using a condom, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy or all the other things that parents should teach their nubile young daughters about the world they are growing up to face. Sounds like Palin is one of those parents who will argue that the school system failed Bristol and that it is the responsibility of the public schools to teach children about such things, yet, as soon as the school mentions the words "condom," or "homosexuality," Palin becomes the indignant parent, shouting from the rooftops that the education system has no right to teach her child about the facts of life. As Homer Simpson said to Principal Skinner about Bart after he'd done something naughty: "Skinner, he's your problem from 7AM to 3PM." Later in the same episode, when Bart issues a stream of swears, Homer admonishes him to refrain from using "that kind of talk in the house and save it for the schoolyard." Palin has become Homer Simpson, unable to get her own children to do as he commands the rest of us do...

And what of Bristol? She's a homely girl at best, so who was fucking her and for how long? Since she's only 17, I wonder how many other children she has, or, more importantly, how many abortions has she had prior to getting caught with this one? I have two stepsisters who both had their first abortions when they were sixteen. Seems the thing to do...

And then there is the investigation into Palin's abuse of power and authority. She fired someone who refused in turn to fire her former brother-in-law after he had divorced - quite messily - Palin's sister. Retribution for not doing as Sarah Says. And now it has come down to a investigation and Palin hired an attorney to fight on her behalf. Well, what if it is true, that she used her position and privilege to get another person sacked from their job because that person didn't do what she said to do? Is she going to get mad and stomp her feet and hold her breath like a five year old because she didn't get her way? From what I have read about Palin, she has led a very privileged life - wealth, fame and lots of fortune from Daddy's gold mine (though I notice some reports say her parents are a schoolteacher and administrative assistant). She comes across as a spoiled society bitch.

Sadly, this will not go away.

And for all the harumphing the Republicans do over every fart from a Democrat, it amazed me how many high-profile GOPers were 100% supportive of Palin, saying that it is a family thing, that she's being targeted by Democrats for the firings (not true, since it is her own state legislature that is investigating her improprieties instead of a Federal council), and that we should all give her love and support for being such a wonderful mother and governor. Yet, Sarah Palin couldn't even keep her own daughter from getting knocked up. She says it's because teenagers never listen. Did you try talking to her, Sarah? Did you? Or were you too busy being getting your way in state goverment that you totally ignored your own family?

Family Values - A Republican Trademark!
