I think every GOP national convention should open with an old fashioned back country shotgun wedding...sorta underscores the whole "family values" rubbish nicely doesn't it?
Hell, Governor Palin can level her 12 gauge right at the back of the groom, it is really the ultimate photo-op, I recommend staging the nuptials on the last night of the convention with that protestant pontiff, the Reverend James Dobson presiding.

If you don't believe in evolution
and
You don't believe in sex education let alone effective birth control
Then
Don't be shocked when your daughter doesn't herself believe in holding onto her virginity a moment longer than whimsy dictates.
Your idiotic fantasies pretty much set the stage for her downfall so far as I can see.

Of course, the victim here is Bristol Palin, married off at age seventeen so that her mother, McCain's vice presidential albatross, Sarah Palin can go before the Republican national convention and pretend to be Betty Crocker, nonthreatening domestic goddess.
The GOP has a malign habit of promoting fraudulent nonsense like this, I can recall back in 1992 the edifying spectacle of Marilyn Quayle, that ambitious Attorney, Activist and undeniably brainy wife of then Vice President Dan Quayle screeching the praises of submissive domesticity into the microphones at the Republican national convention.
This would be the same Marilyn Quayle who allegedly had labor induced so that she could take the bar exam on schedule.
Ah well, nothing ever changes does it? The GOP will tolerate some pretty unseemly feminine beasts as long as they bow low to the myth of domestic servitude.
We will hear a lot more rubbish in praise of "traditional families" in the days to come mostly from persons who have mastered the art of concealing their own moral failings and the sad personal vices of their loved ones.

Still and all that one ray of sunshine in this sad miasma is that a few rumors on some blogs Humble Elias has never heard from was enough to prompt full disclosure from Governor Palin within hours!
I mean...yay bloggers!

Geez will someone let me play?
I wanna try!
After all what I've heard about Cindy McCain is possibly enough to compell McCain to resign the ticket!
:D
