			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ALASKA-Professor Bradford Scharlott of Northern Kentucky University has a paper claiming that Sarah Palin and Bristol Palin pulled off one of the greatest hoaxes in political history, passing off teenage Bristol&#8217;s baby, Trig, off as Sarah&#8217;s to avoid a political scandal. Gawker reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>Scharlott&#8217;s article walks through all the evidence supporting the theory, including the photos of Palin in what is said to have been a late-stage pregnancy, the leisurely 20-hour trip home that Palin took after she supposedly went into labor in Texas, the refusal of the hospital where Trig was supposedly born to even confirm that he was born there (let alone who was the mother), strange statements from Palin&#8217;s doctor and the McCain campaign, and so on.</p></blockquote>

<p>Gawker reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>In this one, Paoletti—who, as an Alaskan of Italian heritage, is stupendously white—recontextualizes the painful history of racial terror in this country by bravely appropriating the oppressor&#8217;s language and calling his bros &#8220;nigga.&#8221;</p>
<p>And here is family-friendly Paoletti in a delightfully witty back-and-forth with a compatriot about whether or not his pal Joby Higgins would have sex with with a hypothetical &#8220;future gf&#8221; who is &#8220;250 and has down sindrome&#8221; (we assume that&#8217;s 250 pounds, because fat chicks are funny!). Paoletti judged the prospect to be likely: &#8220;hahahaha joby would slayyyy that.&#8221; Yes! Joby would totally have sex with a 250-pound mentally and physically challenged lady! Hilarious.</p></blockquote>

<span id="more-864855"></span></p>
<p>According to court documents, 67-year-old Steven Cowan of the town of Vermont in Dane County became enraged while watching Palin dance on Monday evening. He felt Palin was not a good dancer.</p>
<p>He went to his bedroom and returned to the living room with a shotgun and blasted the TV, then pointed the gun at his wife, who managed to escape and call police. Tactical officers surrounded the house and finally managed to talk Cowan out Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>He has been charged second-degree reckless endangerment, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines. It was unclear whether Cowan has retained an attorney.</p>

<p></p>
<p>No one should be at all surprised that recently elected Massachusetts senate replacement Scott Brown awkwardly and embarrassingly <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/01/20/2010-01-20_ayla_arianna_brown_endure_awkward_moment_during_scott_browns_massachusetts_senat.html">offered his daughters Ayla and Arianna</a> to the general public by making it clear that both young women were, as he put it, “available”. There has long been a strategy amongst the Republican leadership that involved getting their constituents all hot and bothered.</p>
<p>Who can forget Sarah Palin’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9kxaNUC3QI">interminable winking</a> during the Vice Presidential debate? A wink is a come-on. And if we had voted for Palin and her running mate John McCain, we were assured at least four more years of winks and innuendo.</p>
<p>It is impossible to imagine a group more sexually and morally repressed than far right wing Republicans. For these people, everything’s already evil, Independents and Democrats especially. So while the rest of us are free to enjoy our pornography and our masturbation glibly and indifferently, the Republicans must agonize over the torment that their natural impulses cause. There’s no easier way of controlling and manipulating a group like this than with the promise of sex. And the Republican Party shames <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_Slim">Iceberg Slim</a> by promising what they never intend to deliver.</p>
<p>I’m sorry Ms. Palin and I am for real, but you really don’t think we missed how you put your daughter Bristol out on ‘the stroll’ do you? When you found out that you were going to be a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYxAiK6VnXw">baby mama’s mama</a> on what you thought was your way to the White House, you gave us Bristol as the flower of young womanhood, complete with ‘hunky’ soon-to-be husband Levi Johnston and presented them as the ideal for youthful Red State virility.</p>
<p>Now that it’s clear that you’re not headed to the White House, you’ve chucked Levi, you’re tossing us Bristol again and this time you&#8217;re giving us your daughter as both a new mother and a <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2010-01-23-bristol-palin-is-a-born-again-virgin">born again virgin</a>!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost biblical!</p>
<p>Republican offspring also clearly suffer from some kind of white version of ‘<a href="http://wethepeopleusa.tripod.com/id5.html">Willie Lynch syndrome</a>’ which proves that if you do something to someone long enough, eventually, they’ll start to do it to themselves.</p>
<p>Lord knows what compelled failed First Daughter Meghan McCain to show us what she was working with in a twitter photo.</p>
<p>I guess old habits are hard to break.</p>

<p>Star Magazine is reporting that Sarah Palin&#8217;s Daughter, Bristol Palin has broken off her engagement with Levi Johnston.</p>
<p><em>His sister Mercede told the tabloid that &#8220;Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible. She tells him he can&#8217;t take the baby to our house because she doesn&#8217;t want him around &#8216;white trash&#8217;!&#8221; She also claims that Bristol ended their relationship more than a month ago, despite Palin&#8217;s daughter proclaiming all was well in an interview last month with Greta Van Susteren. Their child, Tripp, is two months old. If the report is true, what will Levi do with the tattoo of Bristol&#8217;s name he has on his ring finger?</em></p>

<p>From Courtney Hazlett at MSNBC:</p>
<p>When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin confirmed that her teenage daughter, Bristol, and boyfriend Levi Johnston were expecting a baby, the celebrity weeklies knew that the first photos of the Palin-Johnston baby would incite a bidding war. Baby Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, born Dec. 28, proved those editors right.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">The price didn&#8217;t soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn’t sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sarah was on the cover of People, Us Weekly, and OK! the same week, and really only People saw a bump in sales,&#8221; says a source.</p>
<p>The drug-related arrest of Johnston&#8217;s mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.</p>
<p>&#8220;The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi&#8217;s mom was arrested &#8211; well, then you had a story,&#8221; says one editor.</p>

<p><a href="http://cdn.newsone.com/files/2008/12/bae81923-79d3-4036-8104-42b4ffcc29ed.jpg"></a>The mother of Bristol Palin&#8217;s boyfriend sent text messages discussing drug transactions less than a month after the young woman&#8217;s mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was nominated as the Republican vice presidential candidate, according to court documents filed this week.</p>
<p><span id="more-66851"></span></p>
<p>An affidavit from an Alaska state trooper, filed Monday, states that Sherry L. Johnston referred in her messages to two police informants to &#8220;coffee&#8221; as a code for the drug OxyContin.</p>
<p>Johnston, 42, was arrested on felony drug charges last week after state troopers served a search warrant at her Wasilla home. She allegedly sold OxyContin tablets to the informants on three occasions this fall, the affidavit states. Police said two of the meetings were recorded by a hidden camera and a microphone.</p>
<p>Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, 18. Sarah Palin announced in September that her daughter Bristol, also 18, was pregnant and that Johnston was the father. Their child was due to be born Dec. 18, her grandfather Chuck Heath told the Anchorage Daily News recently.</p>
<p>Authorities say the case against Sherry Johnston began in the second week of September, when drug investigators intercepted a package containing 179 OxyContin pills. That led to the arrest of the suspects, who agreed to be informants.</p>
<p>According to the affidavit, Johnston sent a text message to one informant Oct. 1, writing: &#8220;Hey, my phones are tapped and reporters and god knows who else is always following me and the family so no privacy. I will let u no when I can go for cof.&#8221;</p>
<p>The trooper&#8217;s affidavit indicates that Sarah Palin&#8217;s candidacy factored into the investigation, with state officials delaying execution of a search warrant until this month, when Johnston was &#8220;no longer under the protection or surveillance of the Secret Service.&#8221;</p>

<p>A 42-year-old Wasilla woman was arrested Thursday at her home by Alaska State Troopers with a search warrant in an undercover drug investigation.</p>
<p><span id="more-62471"></span> Sherry L. Johnston was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lynne Spears spoke to Newsweek today, pointing out the hypocritical way the media has treated her and her unwed pregnant teenage daughter, Jamie Lynn Spears, versus the way the media has treated Sarah Palin and daughter, Bristol Palin.</p>
<p><span id="more-1332"></span></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p>When asked about the media reaction to her 16 year old daughter, Jamie Lynn, being pregnant as opposed to 17 year old, Bristol Palin&#8217;s pregnany, Lynne Spears had this to say:</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a totally different reaction. It&#8217;s as if [Sarah Palin] became celebrated. I mean, the mother, Palin, was celebrated for this. Every woman in the world has applauded her strength and her convictions and poor little old Jamie Lynn&#8211;you saw how she was crucified. Everybody did, firsthand &#8230; I just feel like it&#8217;s been a very hypocritical situation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The two most famous faces of the right wing media, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O&#8217;Reilly, have been the biggest hypocrites. After the news of Bristol Palin&#8217;s pregnancy, Rush Limbaugh came on the air with the following talking points.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Limbaugh-Watch-Palin-Preg-by-Dean-Powers-080903-81.html" target="_blank">1. The Left&#8217;s ridicule of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her family will backfire. </a></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Limbaugh-Watch-Palin-Preg-by-Dean-Powers-080903-81.html" target="_blank">2: Gov. Palin&#8217;s daughter, Bristol, made a classic &#8220;average American&#8221; mistake, endearing her to born-again Christians. </a></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Limbaugh-Watch-Palin-Preg-by-Dean-Powers-080903-81.html" target="_blank">3: Gov. Palin is energizing heartland Middle Americans and &#8220;values voters.&#8221; </a></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Limbaugh-Watch-Palin-Preg-by-Dean-Powers-080903-81.html" target="_blank">4. Leftists are sexists.</a></span></p>
<p>If Bristol Palin made a &#8216;classic average American&#8217; mistake, so did Jamie Lynn Spears right? Both were underage girls who got pregnant and thrust into the spotlight. So what did Limbaugh have to say when Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant?</p>
<p><em><br />
Caller: Would you tend to think that a family in this position,<br />
though, wouldn&#8217;t you think that there would be a more watchful eye as<br />
a parent to be watching over these kids so this doesn&#8217;t happen to<br />
them?</em></p>
<p><em>RUSH: I would certainly hope so, but it&#8217;s long past time for this to<br />
happen. The parents here are the culprits!</em></p>
<p>Shouldn’t the same thing apply to Sarah and Bristol Palin? Her family was in a similar high profile position. Shouldn’t she have been paying a more watchful eye on her daughter? Isn’t she the ‘culprit’ in this crime of teen pregnancy?</p>
<p>Bill Oreilly also ran with his FOX/GOP talking points saying,<br />
<em>‘Millions of families are dealing with teen pregnancy, and as long as society doesn&#8217;t have to support the mother, father or baby, it is a personal matter. It&#8217;s true that some Americans will judge Governor Palin and her family, and she will have a hard time running for vice president if there is much more chaos. For the sake of her and her family, we hope things calm down. This country needs a vibrant policy debate, not a soap opera.’ </em></p>
<p>However when Jamie Lynn was pregnant this is what he had to say:</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Britney Spears. Look at the way she behaves. And by the way, the mother, Lynne Spears, has reportedly already sold pictures of the upcoming baby of her 16-year-old for a million bucks. Incredible pinhead&#8217;</em><br />
By this logic, isn&#8217;t Sarah Palin an &#8216;incredible pinhead&#8217; as well? Isn’t she to blame for Bristol’s pregnancy? How hypocritical is it for O’Reilly to talk about ‘policy debates’ over issues, when from Reverend Wright to Nas to Ludacris, to Jamie Lynn and Britney Spears, O’Reilly has made a living off soap operas? How much time has he given on his show to legitimate policy debate? In this statement, O’Reilly is basically saying that if you&#8217;re rich, it’s perfectly alright to get pregnant young, but don’t you poor people come asking for money if you get knocked up! We need that money to kill civilians in the Middle East.<br />
Despite the fact that Obama has taken the high road and told his staff to lay off the Bristol pregnancy, saying that candidates&#8217; children are off limits, Limbaugh and Oreilly have both attacked children of candidates. Rush Limbaugh referred to Chelsea Clinton as ‘the White House dog’ when she was only 13 years old. McCain has not been the bigger man, like Obama, when it comes to opponents’ children, telling a joke about Chelsea Clinton being so ugly because Janet Reno was her father when she was 18. So you can call underage family members ugly but you can’t talk about their pregnancies even when their only credentials are their family values?</p>

Critics are also saying her return to work 4 days after the birth of her infant son with Down Syndrome was too sudden. How does she address his needs? <span id="more-6472"></span><br />
Governor Palin has requested the media to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/americas/2008/vote_usa_2008/7592636.stm" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">“respect her daughter and her boyfriend’s privacy”. </span></a>McCain advisors have stated that they were aware of the pregnancy and felt it was not a factor in choosing her to be his running mate.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>Senator Barack Obama has <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/americas/2008/vote_usa_2008/7592636.stm." target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">issued a statement</span></a> stating, &#8220;I think people&#8217;s families are off-limits, and people&#8217;s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn&#8217;t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Governor Palin&#8217;s performance as a governor, or her potential performance as a vice-president.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, the bottom line is, we have a Republican female Governor from Alaska (which is near Canada and no other US States), who has 5 children, one child with Down Syndrome, and soon to be a grandmother who is ready to serve our country in the capacity of Vice President? Does this matter?</p>
<p>You do the math..</p>
