The White Trashing of America

If John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin is enough to make you want to cry, try laughing instead. Here. And here. And here and here. Levi Johnston’s blog, clearly a parody site, was taken down this afternoon.

Mrs. Palin, it was bad enough that you had to exploit your infant by using him as a stage prop, but you’ve gone just too far parading your unwed teenage daughter’s pregnancy. She was five months along, and you just didn’t notice it? Or were you just too worked up over the prospect of having a teenage son-in-law who describes himself like this:

“I’m a f***in’ redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes. But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s**t and just f***in’ chillin’ I guess.”

I’m not even going to address your limited knowledge of the American political landscape or your vast experience in the P.T.A. I’m not going to mention that business about the oil industry, Troopergate or the bridge to nowhere. What does appall me is your heartless disdain for your very own family. Was all of your talk about putting “life first” just hot air? You’ve put moral issues on the table for political gain, but you forgot that old adage about morality starting at home. Go back home and take care of your own family first. Shame on you, Sarah, for putting your own political gains ahead of your very own family.

America’s excited, my ass. Count me as one Republican who is outraged and disgusted.
