#3 Tough to tell with the jokers the Dems are running this year though.

#5 Scrappleface maybe, but only just:

Obama REALLY said this:

"But it should also include -- it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."

I really hope America (and the world) doesn't get punished with Obama. We do make mistakes but...

#6 Thanks EC. I was wondering where Scrappleface got the idea for this bit.

#7 Not a real Scrappleface I think, far too close to the real thing.

What a disgrace this man is

#8 The link does go to Scrappleface.

Scott Ott is cutting close to the bone with this one.

#10 Old Spook, true, but Scrappleface didn't really do much editing here

#11 FYI: Go to the pictures.

Bristol was wearing an engagement ring at the announcement last week.

Clearly, they were not trying to hide it. It's a private matter as far as the Palin family is concerned. The only thing scandalous is the MSM's cynical use of her as a political football.

#12 I am sure that Gov. Palin and her husband thought long and hard about going the VP slot before she accepted. They knew from the git-go just how dirty and low down the MSM can be. So their reason for facing this sh*t tsunami from the MSM has to be devotion to the country. It ain't the money, and it ain't the glory.

#13 And it sure isn't the hunting and fishing around DC.  Not literally, anyway.  Figuratively, well ....

#14 I like the fact that McCain knew about it, and chose her anyway. Shows that both McCain and Palin have strong character and it will resenate well with Americans. Unlike the wheaze and sleaze from the dhimocrats.

#15 There's actually pretty decent fishing around DC ... if you like large-mouth ass.

#18 The Palins are a real life family, dealing with a real life family situation. As Sissy Willis said yesterday, "If McCain can get the votes of all the women who were pregnant at their weddings, it'll be a landslide!" (H/T Insty)

#19 I love how the MSM is spinning out all the stories possible that the McCain camp is "on the Defensive" and "reeling from the discovery".

Um... no, they were up front about it and honest and have nothing to defend and it was known before the announcement. If anything, they look stronger and more confident than before.

Liberal asshat MSM.

Then the long faces among democrats must indicate personal sympathy.

#21 Well, someone in Obama's campaign forgot to send the memo to MSNBC. The past couple of hours, they have put "17 year old Bristol Palin is pregnant!" or some variation of that, underneath each and every guest they have had on for a couple of hours.....and pretty much all they talked about was that she is....guess what.....pregnant! OMG!!!

And yeah, they even got Chris Matthews and his brothers to pontificate on it.

#22 The real scandal is going to break when Chris Matthews reveals that he's carrying Obama's love child. It can't be long - he's already showing.

#23 And the title says it all.

Babies are not PUNISHMENT, they are a blessing! Yes, they are a boatload of work and in the teen years a ton of emotional trauma. So what? It's an investment that will be repaied 1,000 fold.

But there's not a SIG with deep pockets making obscene amounts of $$$ off of pregnancy or people raising their own families.

I'll even go one step further and say that the leftists would love us all to have huge numbers of children as long as we let the State raise them.

Most libs don't believe this. That is why EUrope's population is in decline. As is the Northeast's

#28 Now the lefties have Palin using mayoral powers to censor library books. Did she do that?

#29 "Now the righties have Obama burning libraries in Pennsylvania. Did he really do that?"

See how EASY it is to make an accusation, spread the FUD, when you're pretending it's a question?

#30 Ms Palin is a Woman. She made a choice.

Yet the so called "pro-choice" crowd seems upset. Their hysterics reveal far more about them than the target of their attempted smear. They seem willing to continue to do so.

What's that trick they do up north; coat a knife blade in dried blood and leave it out for a wolf?
