sometimes i think the only nominee that could manage to maintain consistency with the social-reactionary political line in their personal lives would be a shaker. but they died off
because they didn't believe in sex at all.
but they made nice furniture while they were around.
the problems with finding someone whose life is actually symmterical with their politics is one indication of how self-defeating the whole social-reactionary political worldview is.
but this is all obvious, and hardly seems to have required this bit of theater to become so.
so i kinda feel badly for palin's daughter in all this. she didn't choose any of it, and i wonder if she feels a bit like she's been thrown under a bus (a cliche i'm not quite sick of yet)...i hope we don't read some story soon about her deciding to put her head in an oven. 17 and subjected to all this, even at a remove, cannot be good.
