On Palin's Breaking-Watergate

So often we hear the phrase, 'who's your daddy'. We can now add, 'who's your mommy' to the lexicon. I bet all those folks that were wishing for the comedy stylings of Mike Huckabee as a veep nominee are kicking themselves. Nobody could have predicted this one woman failure of conservative values to appear like a comet streaking across the political sky, leaving a silvery contrail of amniotic fluid in her wake. My heart goes out to Bristol Palin, her siblings and all the other innocent kids whose lives are ratcheted into the screwed up world of fundamentalist lunacy by their deluded parents, regardless of denomination.

Mr McCain, your schadenfreudian slip is showing.

Oh, look:

"Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said."

Decision ... decision ... you know, if you squint just the right way, that word looks an awful lot like "choice."

Or maybe it's just the gin.

LuLu said...

Sure she did.

And I'm sure, just sure that her choices were probably "get married now and then have the baby" or "have the baby and then get married". Who could ask for anything more?

OK, let's see if we can keep the bullshit straight around here:

17-year-old Bristol Palin gets herself pregnant, and you want to insist that's somehow due to the "the screwed up world of fundamentalist lunacy" of her "deluded parents".

As if the teenaged daughters of progressives (actual and so-called) absolutely never get themselves pregnant?

Oh, wait. I forgot. Only when the children of so-called "fundamentalists" get pregnant do we blame it on the beliefs of their parents, or perhaps even what they're teaching their children.

Or, we could recognize the truth -- that the religious or political beliefs one holds don't hold much sway over whether or not one's teenaged daughter will be impregnated. Which is, of course, the logical and truthful answer.

Then again, logic and truth have never held much influence around these parts, have they? Not when there are cheap political points to be scored.

This is, of course, aside from other things that could be said... but won't be.

Look up there!

It's the point, sailing effortlessly past PR who again, has missed it by a country mile.

Red Tory said...

Yeah, but "there are cheap political points to be scored." If Patsy is looking for hypocrisy he might want to avail himself of the nearest mirror.

Patrick Ross said...

It would help if the point held logical water.

Or if any of this site's denizens were capable of enough honesty to admit that,

Is that some kind of euphemism for amniotic fluid?

Red Tory said...

I think Patrick has denizen-envy. ;)

He really needs to find a way to attract actual readers/commenters to his blog. Not boring them to death might be a good start.

JJ said...

Patrick - Nobody "gets themselves" pregnant.

Holly Stick said...

Teenage daughters of progressives have a better chance of learning about effective birth control. Did Bristol's mom tell her "Just say no"? Didn't work, did it.

Patrick Ross said...

I'd dare say, Holly, that you frankly have little to no idea what Bristol Palin was told about birth control or what she wasn't.

But even if you had a valid point here -- as opposed to assumptions that you can't defend without resorting to further assumptions based on religious intolerance -- the question would be this:

What about all the children of so-called "progressives" (and I say so-called because there isn't an honest-to-god progressive amongst the lot of you) who wind up being pregnant before adulthood? Obviously, an education regarding birth control doesn't help them if they choose not to use it.

And let's face it: no matter what the perpetually dishonest Lindsay Stewart may wish to claim, teenage pregnancy is far from being a phenomonon exclusive to so-called "religious fundamentalists".

Shall we blame the progressive political beliefs of progressives whose teenage children experience teenage pregnancy? Or perhaps, could the answer be something other than ideology.

Come on, folks. Be honest now.

Frank Frink said...

Twatsy, since the point eludes you there's only one thing left for you to do.

Write a post. Post it on your blog. The blog that no one reads.

OK, maybe Werner reads it sometimes. But go ahead, knock yerself out.

CC said...

God, Patsy, don't you have some abortion providers to encourage the murder of somewhere?

Man, I can't wait until Patsy has his first real job interview. Please, please, please, if you're at all involved with that, keep us posted.

Lindsay Stewart said...

classic patsy. your a liar, what you didn't say isn't true so i win. nyah nyah, so there.

don't you get tired of being so laughably stupid pat?

Patrick Ross said...

Don't you get tired of being so irredeemably dishonest?

You insist that Briston Palin's pregnancy is the result of being "ratcheted into the screwed up world of fundamentalist lunacy by their deluded parents".

So, when we substitute the beliefs held by other deluded individuals who happen to be parents of teenaged parents, how would the same thing not apply?

Come on, Lindsay. This is simple. Even you should be able to figure it out.

Red Tory said...

You should stick to your nutty Green-Lib conspiracy theory. That's a hoot.

"17-year-old Bristol Palin gets herself pregnant, and you want to insist that's somehow due to the "the screwed up world of fundamentalist lunacy" of her "deluded parents".

How the fuck did you get that from this:

"My heart goes out to Bristol Palin, her siblings and all the other innocent kids whose lives are ratcheted into the screwed up world of fundamentalist lunacy by their deluded parents, regardless of denomination."

Did PSA say that ALL of her siblings are pregnant because of their parents' fundamentalist lunacy??

Did he even say that Bristol became pregnant because her parents are fundamentalist loonies?

No. He just said that their lives were ratcheted into the screwed-up world of fundamentalist lunacy.

Learn how to read.

Lindsay Stewart said...

patrick you're just flat out lying to forward your spurious allegation.

"You insist that Briston Palin's pregnancy is the result of..." blah blah blah etc.

i've insisted nothing of the sort. you're making shit up to rebut a point that i haven't made. you sir are a serially dishonest goof.

"This is simple"

yes, you are. and yes pat, we've all figured you out. you're trying to score a point so you can shake your tub and declare victory. but there is no there there. if you had a shred of decency in your deluded noggin, you'd apologize for making false claims against my character. but it isn't hard to discern that you are neither decent nor honest and you've got the goalposts well greased. so i'll bid you good day and leave you to your self pleasuring delusions, you really aren't worth any more effort.

Frank Frink said...

Tell us how you really feel, mikmik. ;-)

ps - I would pay $$$ to watch that.

liberal supporter said...

Shaet mon, at least I give the U of A some credibility, you sour our good name with a ferocious obtusity

No, PR is giving UofA world class standing. AI researchers the world over consider the PR system to be cutting edge technology. Though typically acting like a high functioning loony, the PR system does seem capable of passing the Turing test. It appears to have fooled even you, mikmik!

Unfortunately, being a piece of software, PR cannot have coffee with you.

Lindsay Stewart said...

mik, threats and challenges of physical confrontation are inappropriate. please remove your comment and refrain from posting similar things here. we do not and will not condone that sort of behaviour. i'm going out for a while, if your comment is still there when i return i will delete it.
