I wrote it because, as I said, the whole things makes me angry. The pregnancy is a disaster, but not for the Republican party, as some people have suggested. It’s a disaster for the two lives — Bristol’s and her boyfriend’s — that will be forever changed, because of a stupid educational policy and a mother who failed to give her daughter the guidance she needed to avoid it.

It won’t make any difference because the whole argument is so illogical to begin with that only a very blinkered mind-set could hold it in the first place. So I doubt that Bristol Palin’s predicament is going to sway any hearts or minds. How can or could it when her own mother is apparently so stiff necked she claims this disaster as a virtue? Is that spin or does she really believe it? What a ghastly family is what ‘normal’ people will think while others, perhaps, will enjoy the reflected acceptability of their own hypocritical behaviour. It’s another version of Victorian Britain all over again!
