Have to say, I’m with Dave on this one. If you’re of legal age and you’re in the public eye, then you’re fair game. However, minor children of people in the public eye really shouldn’t be part of the conversation (Do you hear that Governor Palin?)

Frankly, to me, the thing I remember about the campaign isn’t her daughter getting knocked up, but rather the way she used her baby as a prop at rally after rally. As a parent, I turned to my wife at one point and said “how is this kid getting any rest or attention?” I really thought that set of activities was more revealing than anything else.

While we’re on the subject of the Palin family, the other thing I found highly ironic was that her unwed, daughter’s choice to keep her baby was a private family matter. Yet, these are the same people who seem to want to intrude on other people’s choices and private family matters. Hypothetically, imagine that an Obama daughter was 17 years old during the campaign and was impregnated out of wedlock – how exactly would that have been greeted?

In any case, Dave, go get ’em. You haven’t been funny in a very long time, but at least you’ve still got balls. And for that sir, I salute you. And Sarah, sorry to break it to you, your 15 minutes are up. Go chase a moose or something.
