-she’s a flip flopper. Just like John Kerry!

-Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, is pregnant and will keep the baby and marry the father, a senior aide to Sen. John McCain confirmed to CNN Tuesday.

(I’m not sure that’s actually scandalous. I mean, perhaps there is a portion of the country that still find teen pregnancy scandalous, but they are probably also the same people who will laud her decision to keep the baby instead of having an abortion. McCain campaign claims that he knew, but I’m not sure about that. Actually, it’s a pretty horrible thing for a mother to do – she accepted an extremely public position, knowing that her daughter was pregnant and that a lot of attention would be focused on her. Can that count as child abuse? Yes, girl (well, girl and her boyfriend) have to take responsibility, teen pregnancy is pretty much a bad idea and such, but that doesn’t mean she deserves to have it plastered all over the news.)

-Palin’s name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the “Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.,” a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors.
