Want to know why folks are talking about it? Because there’s all sorts of weird shit going on in the backstory. Bristol was out of school for *eight* months? For mononucleosis? BS.

Is it something the Obama campaign should stay the fuck away from? Absolutely.

Is the general public wondering about these questions somehow illegitimate and misogynistic? What the fuck ever…

Even the most inattentive mother is going to notice that her daughter is pregnant or that there’s another mouth to feed at the table. Leave Bristol out of it but this says volumes about Mccain’s and Palin’s judgement. If Palin knew her daughter was five months gone, why didn’t she mention it to Mccain? They could have finessed it when they announced his pick. If Palin didn’t know, why not?</p> What courage?

Their press release ends:

We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates

Right, like McCain’s jokes about Chelsea Clinton
