isnt there a second troopgate-like story out there.

Video: McCain Acts Presidential…Finally

I think Jerome Corsi is writing a book about the Moose, who is probably a Democrat.

But Palin is not just "any" mayor or state official. She's the world's biggest opponent of wasteful spending. Remember, she said "thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere.

One day a "Sarah Palin: conservatives find the girl of their dreams"

A GOP www.VPILF.com and then the next day "Jerry Springer material."

As an example:

Talk about skeletons in the Palin family closet!

They are just starting to tumble out.

When we last discussed the Palin pregnant teen daughter rumor, we said that we did not find any conclusive evidence that Sarah Palin was claiming her fifth child to be her own when it was actually her teen daughter's, who had been sort of missing from school for several months. We said our primary concern was with the judgment of the Palins in leaving Texas after the forty year old and then some Sarah Palin knew her bag of water had broken. Indeed, she went on to give a speech and then fly 8 hours home with her husband, an action -- at her age, while carrying a pre-diagnosed child with down's syndrome -- that was reckless and life endangering. (She even by-passed hospitals in Anchorage to drive to a clinic in her hometown to deliver shortly thereafter. A high-risk decision.)

And we focused on the point that such dangerous decision-making was a bad sign for the person who would be the next in line to be president when the presidential candidate whom she is running with would be the oldest elected occupant of the Oval Office in history and has a history himself of recurring skin cancer.

The title of our alert the other day was, "Did Sarah Palin Endanger the Life of Her Fifth Child? Or is the Swirling Rumor True?" (It got 112 reader comments. You should read them.)

Okay, now it is fittingly Labor Day (if you catch the double entendre) and the McCain-Palin campaign released a doozy of a news release. No, the rumors that Sarah Palin was pretending to cover up for her "no sex before marriage Christian fundamentalist" family credo by pretending to be the mother of her daughter's daughter weren't true, just scurrilous slanders on the family and daughter.

What is true is even more bizzarre. The McCain-Palin campaign are expressing disdain at all this "slander," so they revealed the Christian truth: Sarah Palin Says That There is No Truth to Her Teen Daughter Being Pregnant Out of Wedlock Last Year Because the Daughter in Question is Pregnant and Unmarried This Year.

We thought that McCain appointed a vice presidential candidate to appeal to the religious right, but now we find that we've just entered into the middle of another hypocritical fundamentalist soap opera, only of the moose shooting family lifestyle kind. (McCain, according to CNN, knew of the unwed teen pregnancy in advance of his last-minute rushed choice of Palin. But watch for this "emerging" story to take a few more twists before it's put to bed, so to speak.)

There's not a lot of outdoor or indoor movie theaters up there in Alaska, so it's probably not surprising that young people turn to sex, which they do everywhere anyway.

But when you got a fundamentalist hot mama preaching the gospel and abstinence -- and who seems to have had a shot gun wedding of her own -- you know why McCain might regard Palin as his spritual soulmate (besides the fact that he can't seem to stop nervously staring at her breasts -- just watch the You-Tube of his announcing her as VP candidate).

It's because we are going to have four more years of stuff-it-down your throat moral hypocrisy if these two are elected, not to mention a president who is made for the 18th Century and a Vice President who is apparently a supporter of the Alaskan Seccessionist Party. Not too mention that we will be saddled with the brainless Republican thinking that believes you shoot down rumors of your unwed teen daughter having been pregnant by revealing that she is pregnant now and still unwed.

Do you remember the song "Harper Valley PTA"? Well that's who we've got running on the Republican ticket:

I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play She said, "Mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A."

The note said, "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high It's reported you've been drinking and a-runnin' 'round with men and going wild And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way" It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.

Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon They were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her mini-skirt into the room And as she walked up to the blackboard, I still recall the words she had to say She said, "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A."

Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town? And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?

Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites.

Okay, one thing that we can be sure of is that this seedy side story to the Palin announcement is far from over. The McCain campaign appointed her in such a hurry, they hardly vetted anything beyond her photograph.

So as more spills out, when will America wake up and realize that we deserve good sound judgment and good policy decisions, not the Republican ticket version of the "Harper Valley PTA"?

Greg has the AIP story as his second point. But it think you're right about the Stevens 527 thing.

Same reply goes to DrToast above.

It is irresponsible and beyond the pale to ask such a question of a POW.

see he really is about working across all kinds of aisles, he's even impressing the gays with this veep choice.

I think we should call her "Eagle Talon".

The bitch will be gone in a week. Wanna place your bets?

Fair and Balanced

All this muck, it just makes her "more human"

I knew they shouldn't have messed with those voudu Mamas. It's been a slowly building shit storm for the GOP ever since.

NOLA doesn't just have voudu priestesses, it has the spirits of generations of voudu priestesses -

;)

Does my heart good, too.

That's it right there. They cannot squirrel her away forever...

Exactly.

Interesting, and you're onto something here. Internally to the GOP, Biden had to be devastating because, dammit, he was a good pick.

Not so Palin who will be getting the Veruca Salt 'ere the Equinox.

Romney for McCain and Huckabee for Palin.

It doesn't matter now - nobody can put McLame's campaign back together again.

Right arm, Popeye!

Sorry for this, but when is a joke not a good joke? When you have to explain it.

Greg's title is specifically pointing out just how incredibly fast this is unfolding by eluding to that fact that he can only explain it in Slo-Mo.

Despite the need to explain…. It is a damn good title Greg!

So priceless I HAD to crosspost it to another site I contribute to.

Oh and TargetPracticing- I think I love you.

If she gets dumped (she will, within 5-7 days; maybe before Wed. if they're smart), I think Dems can attack McCain MERCILESLY on McCain's shoddy work, being unfit, being reckless / erratic / dangerous, and more, more, more. All the stuff we never really had the traction for/proof of.

It's going to be beautiful.

Theoretically, yes. In practice, not likely, not unless she's using hormones. I dabble in genealogy, and 44-45 is the maximum maternal age that you expect to see. Not that it doesn't sometimes happen entirely naturally for women to give birth at greater ages, but it's unusual, and it's something that you always question when you see it unless you have unimpeachable documentation for it.

... and now his sloppiness is bitting him in the butt.

In that case, his sloppiness is gonna get rabies.
