So, by now, y’all have heard that VP nominee Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.
While I respect the classiness and tact of Senator Obama’s strident assertions that this bit of news has no place in the campaign, I also have to say that I disagree for this reason: Palin’s press statement frames her daughter’s decision to keep her child and marry the father as just that–her decision.
Meanwhile, Palin herself is anti-choice in all situations (including rape and incest, the two areas that generally give all but the most rabid anti-abortionists some pause) while actively promoting abstinence-only education.
You aren’t allowed to extol the virtues of a “choice” that would no longer exist were you to run the show.

This is the link that Pat just sent me:
Things younger than John McCain
These are the examples he highlighted:
The zip code is younger than John McCain.
Duct tape is younger than John McCain.
Penicillin is younger than John McCain.
The Golden Gate Bridge is younger than John McCain.
(Also, be sure to check out the “Pat Buchanan is younger than John McCain” entry for a fun little quote involving Gandhi.)
