what's ironic about Palin's 17 years old daughter's pregancy is not it really matters with her candidacy, but if the table is turn-around and Obama's daughter, you can imagine how much outcry on the republican side will take this chance to exploit this situation. And also, it is ironic it is these republicans that are constantly and consistently insist on flogging the single monthers and their proclaimed owning the virtue of their so-called 'family values'. And the is what the hypocrisy that is worth of noting here.

Meanwhile in California, where comprehensive sex-education is mandatory in public schools, the teen pregnancy rate dropped by 47 percent.
That's what matters. It is none of my business that Bristol Palin is pregnant or what sexual prescriptions Sarah Palin chooses in her own household. It is my business what prescriptions McCain-Palin and Obama-Biden want to give me.
We have to stop this juvenile sexual innuendo. Bill Clinton has 1,000 mistresses. McCain is a serial babe stalker.
I don't care. I don't think any of us should care how a politician lives his or her private sexual life as long as that life is consensual and legal. Otherwise, we're just asking for continued hypocrisy, continued degradation of the civic discussion in this country, continued show-trials-by-media of people who engage in the very same acts many of us engage in every day.
Recent history has proven that if we don't stop, we will wind up with exactly the leaders we deserve.
