This latest spin item involving Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter so smacks of Rove intervention it’s frightening. Start with the original tale, where Daily Kos got played into helping nurse along a story about Palin’s supposed faked pregnancy to cover for her daughter and just when the news started hitting the mainstream, Palin revealed that her 17 year-old is pregnant to rebuff rumors. Nicely done, Rove. Nicely done. Throw them off their trail by getting them to believe a much worse story so that when the scandal does break not only won’t it seem half as bad but one immediately feels like a shitheal for bagging on Palin. So the teen daughter is knocked up and going to have herself a shotgun wedding, a la Jamie Lynn Spears.¬† Oh well. Conservatives win this round.
I spend way too much thinking about me.
This is the blank space where that paragraph should be.
