The thing that amazes me about this whole Palin debacle is how quickly the republican base has been to trash their own "family values" rhetoric. This has been bugging me since this stuff about Palin's background started to leak out, but Garry Trudeau, the cartoonist behind "Doonesbury" summed it up pretty well in this Sunday's strip:
MARK: "Hey Folks! Have you been wondering why republicans have suddenly stopped talking about "Family Values?" Could it be because a divoriced John McCain chose as his running mate a stay-at-work mom who hid her last, unplanned, pregnancy...and who has a pregnant, unwed teenager with a self-described "A**H*** redneck" of a boyfriend who "Doesn't want kids."... and an ex brother-in-law who tasered hew nephew, and a husband with a DUI who loves his country so much that joined a secessionist party? All of which leaves the republican party clinging to the one remaining family value... the shotgun wedding! All previous "values" are null and void because "life happens."
I'll leave the final panel punchline to Mr. Trudeau's comic. I'd hate to be a spoiler for those of you who like reading the strip. [:D]
But yeah, that pretty much sums up my feelings about Sarah Palin, and the hypocritical sheep that worship at her "celebrity" feet. [>:]
