for the Republicans (oh, please God, please!).
And the Palins continue to hide important facts from Americans. Not only have we not seen Trig's birth certificate, as Andrew Sullivan has pointed out—we also haven't seen Sarah Palin's obstetrical records during her fifth pregnancy, so we don't know if she was gaining weight at the proper rate, or getting enough beta carotene.
Haven't the McCain people ever heard of "post-partum depression"? And what if Bristol has breastfeeding questions, calls her mother up at night, and leaves the now-President too exhausted to face the Russians with a clear head the next day?
Also, women bleed a lot, whether they have kids or not. Aren't we putting the White House sheets at grave risk?

Sounds like an actual WaPo or NYT column.

OK. Then why did you think it would be a good idea for Hillary to be President?

I'm more interested in seeing all documentation regarding Obama's citizenship (since he was listed as an Indonesian citizen and Muslim) in his grammer school record. I also want Obama to release records to show whether he registered with the Selective Service, as required, failure to do which was a crime. I also want to learn the details of the Obama/Ayers Annenberg Chicago Project, where they dolled tens of millions of dollars to leftist thought-police types, all the while Obama claiming that Ayers was 'just a guy in his neighborhood', a casual acquaintance. Did he forget the 50million?

Me, I see this rampant sexism on the left to be rather amusing. Has anyone made the claim that Palin is not an "authentic" woman yet?
"Get back on the reservation, bitch!"

Rich! Wish I'd written that. Laughed until the tears came. I happened to be in the Denver Airport Friday morning when this announcement was made and can I tell you the hush that came over the crowd? There was much crowding around the T.V. sets and then a furious typing on the Blackberries by all the folks wearing press credentials. This announcement took all the wind out of their sails. They KNEW they were in trouble. C'mon, when you've got to pick on a 17 year old girl to try and discredit her mother, you are truly reaching.

An amazing thing to me is the unmitigated gall of liberals to express outright sexists comments and be oblivious to what they are actually saying.
They are so full of uncontrollable bitterness and hate toward anything non liberal they have lost ( if they ever had it) all semblance of decency and fair play

The thing is that women are noticing it, whether they choose to wear the label "feminist" or not. Even the ones who are not opening their mouths ('cause they are still in shock at the sheer level of sexism) are taking notice.
This is
not playing well, except among people who are desperate to see it play well.

A funny thing happened on the way to the Obama Accession . . .

Pointing out that McCain's camp may not have vetted her very well is not the same as criticizing her or her daughter for a teen pregnancy.
I don't care about her daughter's pregnancy, except to say that 17 year olds are too young to have babies, and this pregnancy is unfortunate for the family.
I would say that it suggests that the McCain camp didn't think very carefully about Governor Palin as a candidate. And that's a fair critique, since it's the biggest decision he's made as a candidate, and he seems to have made it imprudently and based on pandering to the far right's anti-choice anti-gay pro-gun pro-oil agenda.

I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation. Now McCain is putting the whole White House in jeopardy.

Pro-life. Pro-family. Pro-Second Amendment. Pro-energy independence. Yeah, call it "far" right if you want. Maybe if you live in a coastal city it might seem so. Call it "pandering" if you want, but last time I checked, this is still (nominally) a representative democracy. If McCain expects to get the votes of the party base, he has to make an effort to represent the base.

I just think it's cool that we get freedom to choose who we'll vote for in November... Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn would have had us in a totalitarian regime like Vietnam, Cuba, Zimbabwe, or East Germany by now...

The harpies are definitely circling and the foulest harpies are lefty media women who never met an abortion they didn't like. Too bad for them because once the public gets to know Sara-cuda, I believe the platform for such bilge will collapse like a house of cards.

I am an undecided voter. The thing that really puts me off is, the republician and democrate attacks on what they say the other guy is going to do, i am much more interested in hearing what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. All this BS about 17yr olds pregnent daughters or questioning citizenship. This is just a smoke screen, a distraction. If your biggest concern is who is the mother of a baby or a guy had a muslum father and not the state of our declining nation, your part of the problem. I would much rather hear about tax plans, spending plans. Whats is the future for our military men and women, oil prices, weak dollar, housing market, creating jobs in america, restoring the middle class. We need to focus on the issues that affect us all. Not this tabloid garbage that seems to be the focal point consume the american public. Both sides say the other guy must think Americans are stupid, then again, if this is what they worry about, maybe they are right!
