Palin’s Future Son-in-Law Heads to GOP Convention?2 09 2008
Here are the headlines right now on the Anchorage Daily News website: (God, I love Alaska)

*Bristol Palin's boyfriend Heads to Convention
*FBI taped more than 100 Stevens Calls (Indicted Senator Ted Stevens that is)
*Palin Leaps to National Stage and Ever-Increasing Scrutiny
*Electronic Scarecrows Haze Ravens from Utility Equipment (Hey…it’s news.)



Yes, that first headline is right, apparently. It took me a while to get my palms off my face so I could check it out, but it’s true. I know we’re not supposed to interfere with the personal lives of candidates’ children. I know that many people, including myself, feel sorry for Bristol and the fact that she was hurled out in front of the nation with nothing to cover her secret expanding midsection except a baby and a giant blanket. I even heard Barack Obama ask us all to drop it. But, inviting the boyfriend to come to the convention in the middle of all this? Who has brought this, and him, right into the most glaring of bright lights, in front of the hugest of audiences? How to create a distracting, embarrassing spectacle with one plane ticket. The mind reels….I think. It’s been reeling since Friday, so it’s hard to tell any more.
And for those of you who have wondered what you’ll do with yourselves when the Palin fiasco is over (and there are more and more media outlets speculating that it will be long before November), take heart. Read that second headline up at the top of the page. Ted Stevens will be the methedone for your Palin addiction.
