I remember when Chelsea Clinton was asked about President Bill Clinton's affair. I remember being really, really pissed about how terrible it was to include her in the sideshow. Chelsea didn't run for office, and she sure wasn't involved at all in President Bill Clinton's affair.

I know that I brought up the Palin/daughter baby swap theory elsewhere, but I did so in order to illustrate to the other side what it was like when one introduces something deeply personal to attack a politician—like attacking Obama because of Wright or because his father-in-law is a Muslim—, and Pan did understand it as something inappropriate (which was my hope).

Because McCain didn't allow his campaign or party more than a few days to vet Palin, it's likely that in the coming weeks we'll continue to get more and more crap that will show her to be literally the perfect storm of bad nominations. I think discussions about Palin may be better served if they examine her professional career and policies. Not understanding the job of VP, leaving her town's economy in shambles after being mayor for only a short time, being elected governor in order to restore ethics to the state and then being investigated herself for ethical violations, being pro-life and anti-gay, the fact that she was chosen because she doesn't have a y chromosome.

Stories about Bristol Palin's pregnancy and Sarah Palin's terrible decision to miss opportunity after opportunity to give birth to her son when she went into labor might be better to be left to liberal bloggers. The more she can be shown to officially be a bad pick by citing her professional career, the better.
