Oof. Isn’t the Daily News a GOP rag? I’m getting the feeling that the old Reagan coalition ain’t feeling so coalescent this time around. In 2000, Bush was obviously an idiot, but he – or his handlers – at least had the good sense to surround him with presentable adults. Anyone taking bets on when Palin gets kicked to the curb? Put me down for:
Date: Sept. 12
Time: 5:16 pm EDT
“Cause”: Need to focus on family.

“If your attack is going too well you are walking into a trap”
Old army proverb

Oh and speaking of army: Levi have I got a war for you.

This is just too much. There’s got to be some kind of play going on behind the scenes. I keep expecting that any minute McCain will say “Just kidding! I really picked Dick Cheney!”

“…I do wish big city serious journalists…”

We are talking ‘The Chicago Tribune’ after all. Conventional wisdom is the best they can do. (And that only on a good day.)

The Daily News is Mort Zuckerman’s, but even Rupert’s NY Post has a backgrounder on Levi.

Love the Time article. “It’s no one’s business, but here are the details in a national news magazine.”

“I’m a f—in’ redneck.”

He appears to be correct on both counts.

Well, if this VP thing doesn’t work out, I see a new reality tv show … The Palins coming to a trailer park near you! Does Jerry Springer still have a show? I’m thinkin’ John McCain mistook the guest list for his short list.

After listening to NPR fluff the GOP convention for hours on end yesterday, there was a brief moment of relief when they managed to get the GOP spokeshack all worked up simply by raising the Palin family’s random reproduction issues.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the GOP PR situation room as they discuss how to juggle the live grenade that ol’ Krusty just threw in their lap… “Wait — Palin’s 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant?!? At least tell me our candidate isn’t the father…”

This is where the spin doctors earn their keep — or wish they’d stuck with promoting the health benefits of unfiltered cigarettes like the good ol’ days.

I will not comment on the subject beyond the (to me) obvious: when was the last time teenage pregnancy led to a happy ending? Let alone given the stellar profiles of the teens in question.

This item should not be news, either for political attack or for political burnishing. Sadly, the waving flags tell me who dropped the ball, or their morals, and smiled through the shit sandwich.

If these alleged journos love small town America so much, why don’t they marry it? Or at least move there so we never read their drivel anymore . . .

It’s a little late for the McCain campaign to worry about Bristol’s privacy, isn’t it?

Oh yeah, I remember being a kid in a small western town. Let’s see, I recall a bit of wife/girlfriend abuse, heavy drinking, date rape followed by marriage, and every female being told to sit down and STFU. It made me the feminazi I am today. It also made my older sister into a Xtianist whackjob creationist fundy. Stress produces different results in different people apparently.

The good news for Sarah Palin is that when the inevitable ugly split occurs, she can have Levi Johnston fired from whatever state job they gave him in exchange for marrying Bristol.

I do wish big city serious journalists would please refrain from continually genuflecting at the altar of Good Country Folks Who Embody All That Is Good In America.

I know! It’s like they’ve never actually, you know, listened to country music.

Sadly, the waving flags tell me who dropped the ball, or their morals,

..and their pants!

Perhaps Governor Palin needs to clarify for her constituents that when she says “Drill! Drill! Drill!” she is not referring to her daughter.

Perhaps Palin’s abstinence-only education made her unwise to the rise in the Levi’s.

That’s Just What I Said

Let me tell you a tale of two good Christian family values moms. One of who I have a personal take on. Read more.http://www.tagg-lines.com/2008…..would.html

Bristol is 17. She’s allegedly five months pregnant–with this bundles of joy. And while it’s theoretically possible, most guys don’t hit the proverbial bull’s eye on the first shot. Has anyone asked the prospective VP what her position is on statutory rape–or is that what those shotguns were for at the press conference the other day?

On it, he admits to having a girlfriend.

Is her name Bristol?

On the part where it asks about children, he wrote, “I don’t want kids.”

Ya think the f___in redneck is headed for the woods, as we type?

Bwahahahahahaha! You can’t make this stuff up.

16 is the age of consent in Alaska. At least for people. Not sure about moose.

We’re talking about a group whose religious leaders include a meth addict who gets his drugs from gay prostitutes and a man found dead wearing two wet suits with a dildo up the butt.

They should thank their lucky stars that the worst thats happened is a teenage girl getting knocked up by a “f*cking redneck”.

They banned KO, they just canceled a Krusty interview with King on CNN and pointedly told them any criticism, no validated parking ticket. I think they are “losing their bearings”.*

* Thanks Obama

Can we get a remake as Levi’s coming?

You’re more likely to find someone with a homemade dungeon full of half-naked hitchhikers under a doublewide in Chigger Falls than you are in Chicago.

I think we call it Chegroe Falls now.

Hm-m-m, let’s see… possible marketing slogans for Levi:

A pile for every story.
Have you ever had a bad time on Levi’s?
Chastity never goes out of style.

And of course: “Slapping that puck into the net for another goal….”
