Palin Fever: Celebrities the world over are fired up about potential VP Sarah Palin and eager to weigh in with the fruits of their opposition research. The latest multi-hyphenate to opine is Albert Brooks, writing on the Huffington Post under the barely disguised pseudonym "A. Brooks." "Do we want a president who cannot communicate to their own child that possibly having a baby a year after you get your driver's licence is not the smartest thing to do?" asks Brooks. "Is this the new way for women to break the glass ceiling? To have their daughters throw their babies at it?" Perhaps not, but it would sure make for a hilarious summer tentpole at 20th Century Fox!

Not only don't we want a president who cannot communicate to their own child that having a baby at 17 is somehow not the same as being abstinent, but we neither want a president who, until a short while ago, hadn't given the Iraq war "much thought", who, with her deep insight into world politics, won't be able to deal with Putin or Hu Jintao, ever.

Why is it ok for Obama's mother to have him unmarried at 18 but not for this girl to be pregnant at 17? Am I missing something here?

The McCalin debacle is getting funnier by the minute - sadly, if people aren't vigilant - they're be running the country for another 4 years...
(And nice one about throwing babies at the glass ceiling, Mr Brooks...*LOL*)

@Bear_Necessities: The mother isn't primarily responsible when the daughter makes a mistake. Is it really true that the mother never "communicated" what is right and wrong? Sometimes, you know...kids don't listen.

@dluvvly: Obama's parents were married in 1960 and he was born in August 1961. They divorced when he was two.

@dluvvly:
Yes, you're missing something. But to try to explain it to you would be fruitless.

@Losin_it: I agree. Palin is as responsible for her slutty daughter as Hillary is responsible for her slutty husband.
Politicians, they're just like US!

@JudyPaceFace: You can't try to explain it because you can't explain it. Typical liberal reply.

@dluvvly: They did explain it! What the fuck is wrong with you? Read this sentence again:
Obama's parents were married in 1960 and he was born in August 1961. They divorced two years later.
Now let's look at this sentence again: Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol is 17, unmarried, and pregnant.
Questions for reading comprehension:
- Which woman is unmarried, pregnant and 17?
- And which woman was married when she had her child?

since abstinence-only education doesn't mention the nasty, maybe Bristol doesn't know where babies come from

Albert Brooks: When was the last time you made a film that anyone actually saw?. You are knock knock knocking on has been's door and no one cares what your opinion's are on anything much less politics.

Bear_Necessities: you can talk to children all you like about birth control but when their hormones are running wild in the heat of the moment they will not remember what a parent said about birth control. And besides how the hell do you know that her mother didn't talk to her about birth control?. You Liberals are scared to death because you know that Mccain has a real shot at this now.

@dluvvly: Why is okay for republicans to use Bristol Palin's out of wedlock pregnancy to reinforce their "Family Values" platform.

@Pardon_The_Bad_Post: How do you she DID talk to her daughter about birth control? Let me guess, God told you one night that Gov. Palin spoke with her eldest daughter about not having sex before marrigae.
People keep me how the whine about Liberals not having moral fiber, but yet, it seems as if the teen girls of conservative Christian parents are the ones who are getting knocked up of wedlock.

@dluvvly: What's the difference? Obama's grandmother is not a candidate. Bristol's mommy is.
My main problem with Palin is her assumption that the war in Iraq is "a task from God."
