"OMG, did you hear that her son might not really be hers but he's really her daughter's and they're just trying to cover it up - bwahahahaha!!!"

I don't know how far on the left I am anymore...compared to Palin or Mike Huckabee, I'm probably pretty far left - compared to Noam Chomsky or somebody like that, I'm probably a Fascist. "Moderate liberal" is currently how I'm describing myself.

I am an independent as no party I know of meets what I think. But, I hold my nose and vote D because the R's religious BS is more offensive to me than the stench associated with voting for a D.

As for Plain - she sets herself up for it when she attracts the camera with hokey and outlandish behavior she self styles as maverick. She wants the media to question her in any way so she gets more time in front of the camera. So, while I do think attacking her family is not the right thing to do and even though she put her family directly in the public eye and used them herself - I do get why people talk about her.

I mean Palin acted all put upon when Letterman joked about Bristol (obviously) Palin and A-Rod. Well, Bristol Palin has been on the cover of People magazine along with a full interview there and several months of interviews on television. Moreover, Palin used Bristol's teen, out of wedlock pregnancy as a political tool in her campaign with McCain. So, despite her youth, Bristol Palin is fair game and Palin is, once again, a hypocrite for feigning outrage at people attacking Bristol's very public pregnancy.
