Thank You, John McCain (for showing us the way)


John McCain asks us to please be civil and not make children the focus his campaign in the bright morning-after light of Bristol Palin's birth announcement.

In fact, he was so adamant about this point that in every photo where Bristol is not holding the VP's baby, she was pushed to the side and back in the photos. (I honestly thought she was shy...boy, was I wrong.)

Rather than enter into the same RNC arena as McCain (like they would give me entry anyway with my big pink American hat), I offer up this Phoenix Times News quote about his GOP fundraiser comments about another elected official's child.

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." John McCain SOURCE

Wow, it is rare that you get a chance to smack down an elected officials underage daughter and at the same time make a lesbian parenting joke.

While I agree children are off limits, this Labor Day announcement highlights the real need to be honest about sex with our children and the use of birth control. (It is not just for Pigeons.)

And while I am on a roll, people please, stop painting the trees greener than they really are in St. Paul.
