Maybe I missed someone noting it, but the Kos link above:

is now yielding: “Sorry. I can’t seem to find that story. j 1 k 1 l ”

(And BTW, if you wondering, the answer is yes, I ripped that description in the post above off from a Frasier episode.)

I posted this on another thread that got buried:

This is getting tiring. If the daughter is pregnant, “Grandma-gate” is not true. Simple.

If it’s a cover-up, the Left will waste a lot of time and resources on an issue which in the end only points to the Palins as being very “traditionalist” in their private lives, thereby appealing to that crowd. Indeed, even in this alleged cover-up of the cover-up, the daughter is actually marrying the father. Either way, it’s a win for traditionalism.

Such cover-ups were indeed common at one time–send the wayward girl away to stay with a “sick aunt,” then have her come back and raise the child as a nephew/niece. It allowed the child to live, have a somewhat normal life, and not only preserve family honor, but also promoted and maintained the societal pressure on the impressionable to restrain (albeit not totally) inappropriate behavior.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was better than our alternative today. We now have out-of-wedlock births viewed as nothing significant, and as a result traditions and morals are driven further and further down, and restraints more and more discarded. (Yes, the “Murphy Brown” Effect.) Maybe it was/is a deception, but one no worse than the self-deception that throwing off restraints and abandoning foundational values is some sort of beneficial “enlightenment” for society.

Sincerely,
Someone longing for the ’50s… the 18 ones or the 19 ones, not too picky.

If new evidence pops up one way or the other, let me know.

First Bumps…

Gulp! Sarah Palin is a flip-flopper! Why, oh why, didn’t Sailor pick Mitt Romney instead?: While running for governor in 2006 … Palin backed federal funding for the infamous bridge, which McCain helped make it a symbol of pork barrel……

The Obamites will sink the messiah’s ship
JetBoy on September 1, 2008 at 11:14 AM

Amen to that, I really believe that’s going to be the case. There is a Bugs Bunny cartoon (Tortoise and the Hare) that seriously almost mimics this campaign. Bugs Bunny gets out to a fast start then dresses as a turtle (moving to the center). He starts to win until the rabbits (liberals) turn on him for looking like a turtle. There’s even mobster rabbits on the rabbits side lol. Eventually they stop the rabbit and whisk the turtle across the finish line! (DRESSED AS A RABBIT!). There will be plenty more gaffes from the left and the Messiah’s lead will continue to corrode. That’s what happens when you make a deal with the ~~Soros~~ er devil (ie Iraq stance vs Hillary in debates). Here’s the ~~Obama~~ Bugs link.

It’s not the belly that shows in a pregnant woman! The face and its glow as well. Look at her hair, also: glowing! Think of all the blood running through her veins, the extra iron she has to take for baby’s sake, and the pregnancy vitamins.

Pregnancy has its own way to beautify a woman. After the birth, now, that’s a different story…

Blake,

Don’t be so pissy with me, it was a light hearted comment.
It is absolutely appalling for your left wing to do this.

Here in the u.k it is getting very negative and damaging coverage and disbelief.

It is not a left/right issue it is right or wrong issue.
Wasn’t there smears about john mc cains adopted child-and that was from your own side.

‘Only in America’- say it is true ,her daughter had a down syndrome baby- so what?

Is that a crime in the U.S?

My heart goes out to Bristol Palin. She isn’t the first to find herself in this condition and she won’t be the last, but it must be horrible to have these screwballs slobbering over her condition. Very few pregnant teenagers find themselves undergoing such scrutiny.

The Clintons made it clear that Chelsea was off-limits, as did the O’Bamas regarding their daughters…..guess “off-limits” only applies to Dem families……GOP families are fair game ;-(

Wow, is my head spinning, and not just from the antihistamines. I congratulate Bristol on her ‘choice’ to do the right thing and be responsible for her ‘mistake’. I’m sure she will be fine, with a supportive family like hers. I wish her the best.

I agree with whoever said they’d vote twice if Todd Palin pounded the people who promoted the awful rumors about his family. I have to admit I actually went to the sites and read through quite a few of the comments. I wanted to turn away, but it was like a gruesome train wreck. You just can’t stop yourself from looking and then regret it.

I could not believe the vile things those people were clearly hoping for. Not only did they slander/liable (?) Sarah, her daughter, possibly Todd, but there were even some suggesting the oldest son was ‘responsible’. Disgusting!

I was pleased to see some trying to get the wackos to stop, but even most of them only cared because of how it would make them look ‘if it wasn’t true’.

I may loathe pretty much everything about Obama’s positions. I might find him the most frightening potential President EVER. I might have even ‘joked’ from time to time that I think he might be the anti-Christ! But I would not wish what the wackos on those sites were hoping for on anyone’s children/family. Not even to keep him out of office.
