In the midst of such recent pop culture inspirations such as Juno and that lovely little role model Jamie Lynn Spears, the McCain campaign announced this weekend that Alaskan governor and vice-president hopeful Sarah Palin is going to be a grandmother.
It turns out that her eldest daughter, 17-year-old Bristol, has a little Republican bun-in-the-oven. I guess abstinence-only sex ed is making great progress.
Call me crazy, but this Palin woman seems to be more trouble than she is worth. Not only is there a budding teen pregnancy scandal in the works, but the governor is currently under investigation in Alaska for allegedly using her power to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from his job within the state.
I am not knocking teen mothers, hell, I was in attendance at my own parents' teen wedding [in embryo form, of course], but this just seems so wonderfully ironic. Usually Republicans try to tout the "squeaky clean, cookie cutter image, steel moral and values rhetoric." I guess that angle will be thrown out the window during this election....
Most of all, I can't wait to see what this kid's name is going to be. Considering Palin's other kids are Tack, Trig, Piper and Willow, this new one should be entertaining.
