oh the hypocrisy

Frankly, I'm not that concerned or shocked that Sarah Palin's daughter is 17 and pregnant. But the shear hypocrisy of the evangelical right is so amazing. If this were Joe Biden's knocked-up teenage daughter, the right-wingers would be all over it.
"What does this say about his family's morals and his character?"
"How could he have let this happen, he obviously doesn't have enough control over his own family, how could he run a country?"
"Liberals lack morality, he should have taught his daughter to wait until marriage, like a good christian."

But since this is one of their own, they are all too eager to justify this snafu. Apparently it only reinforces family values b/c they didn't have the baby aborted. Does that mean Britney Spears' mom should be VP b/c she didnt make her teenage daughter, Jamie Lynn, abort her lovechild? Parents were ready to boycott Nickelodeon b/c Jamie Lynn was going to ruin childrens morality.. but b/c its Sarah Palin's daughter, they're all too happy to support her.

Palin's daughter is 5 months pregnant. Why did Palin choose to put her daughter through this media scrutiny, knowing she was pregnant? I really have a hard time believing that a calculated Republican campaign such as John McCain's would have picked her to be VP knowing she had an unwed, pregnant, teenage daughter. Its apparent to me that picking Palin for VP was a rushed job. She's pretty, female and young. That's all McCain needed to know.
