The Sarah Palin Story Continues;
McCain Campaign says 17 year-old unwed Palin daughter Bristol pregnant
Claims releasing this information now is designed to rebut stories about circumstances surrounding Trig's birth
This is just wrong in too many ways. McCain says he knew about his running mate's pending unwed grandchildness .... and is now telling the country in order to rebut stories about the girl's purported historical pregnancy??
Jerry Springer-ville.
Beside the obvious hypocrisy that right-wing abstinence-only zealots would have slain Joe Biden or Bill Clinton if a similar story were revealed about their kids post-selection... the timing and content here is all too strange.
Which means the announcement, and linking it to rumours, will now promote those rumours for a few more news cycles.
I'm sure the same National Enquirer team that hounded John Edwards is Motel Sixing it in Wasilla, Alaska right now....
The underlying issue here is of course McCain's judgment. Beyond the news itself, the timing and linkage of the report insure that we'll have more odd-angle focus on Palin, which can't be good news for McPainistas....
