Punchline
What do you call a girl who’s only sex ed has been “abstinence education”.
A: Pregnant
B: Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter
C: All of the above.
A McCain campaign official tells ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that McCain knew of Bristol’s pregnancy and “didn’t believe Governor Palin should be disqualified” from the vice presidency because of it. “If Democrats try to attack, it will backfire spectacularly,” the official said.
Gov. Palin is a strong proponent of teaching abstinence-only sex education to teenagers.
The rules, for Democrats, are typical:
The Palins said that “Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”
I look forward to the next column from Philadelphia’s Official Scold, Christine Flowers. "http://brendancalling.com/2007/03/16/christine-flowers-does-not-understand-the-meaning-of-context/">Recently seen accusing unwed mothers who have children out of wedlock as sluts, expect to see Flowers turn on a dime and praise Palin and her daughter for upholding a culture of life. Seriously: you can see that train coming two miles away.
…adding, via atrios, when you don’t believe in sex ed or cotraception, the result tends to be a knocked up teenager.
3. Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
JB: We should not exclude abstinence-until-marriage education programs.
SP: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.
the hypocrisy is so blinding, I have to wear sunglasses.

I’m honestly so glad this is happening because this is putting not only the McCain candidacy in serious jeopardy, but Secessionist Sarah’s views and actions when taken in light of the news of her daughter’s pregnancy is putting their hypocrisy and double standard on full display of everyone in America.
Kudos to Secessionist Sarah!
