This was expected. Palin blindsided everybody and in a month, I bet this teen pregnancy thing (not to mention the sheer stupidity of minor infractions like her husband's DWI) will be water under the bridge as the media moves on to fresher meat.

Once we get into the debate season, there will be many things more interesting to talk about than a pregnant girl.

EXACTLY.

Boy, he walked right into that one, Rubang.

$27 million in earmarks as mayor of Wasilia, apparently.

(I just updated the OP.)

The other day the McCain campaign claimed they didn't know about the husband's DWI, but today they said they did know about it.

However, they didn't know about Palin's speech in which she said the $30 billion Alaskan oil pipeline was G-D'S PLAN.

The video of her giving her speech in June is up on the Huffington Post.

Her church is almost as scary as the Black Revolutionary Mosque that Fox News made Obama's Christian Church look like.

At least Obama's smooth enough to ditch that pastor and give a great speech about racism that didn't really defend or condemn anybody but just explained everybody's feelings.

I don't see Palin smooth-talking her way out of this.


Her economic experience is just sitting back and letting oil flow, which works for Alaska but not the country.

Her executive experience is 20 months of cutting spending while at the same time supporting bridges to nowhere and other pork barrel spending and earmarking millions.

Her foreign policy experience is living next to Russia. She's barely even left the country.

She slashed funding for programs to support teen mothers while she had a pregnant teen daughter.


And Biden's at least a thousand times the feminist she is.

I just watched the whole video. She says, and I quote:


"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right also for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan. So uh bless them with your prayers, your prayers of protection over our soldiers."

Then she starts talking about how she doesn't like her son's tattoos (a Jesus fish and a map of Alaska), and then she calls some kid in the crowd "a redheaded sasquatch for Jesus!"

I just saw it on CNN, but it's not on CNN.com:

Found someone else on CNET who saw it:

To clear this up, Reagan and Clinton both used this line.  George H.W. Bush attacked Clinton on this issue.  I'm not sure if G.W.Bush ever used it.

Yeah that's gold. It's on YubeTube. The guy says she has experience, and the host asks for a single decision Palin made, and the guy has jack shit. He gets owned hard.





After that the Straight Talk Express is boycotting CNN now? Yeah that's gonna fucking help his image as a straight talking straight shooting maverick. Scared of tough questions like "Name one thing your partner has done."
