I don't want to carry on about this Bristol business, but here's a great post by the venerable James Wolcott of Vanity Fair riffing on a question first raised by Jake Tapper of ABC, to wit: what if the Obamas had a pregnant, unmarried daughter? You can well imagine, but James says it more trenchantly than I can, so click through.
Meanwhile the hits just keep coming. Here's Josh Marshall untangling why Palin yesterday filed an ethics complaint essentially against herself in Alaska. She's refusing to submit to questioning by a state investigator looking into her questionable firing of a state employee unless the investigator turns the probe over to a state review board made up of her appointees!
This is all too bizarre. She's just so obviously a mediocre, unserious, madly ambitious and mildly (at least) corrupt human being. And yet the GOP talking points might sound persuasive to people who don't know any better. And the Democrats obviously can't say what I just said. Wasilla resident Anne Kilkenny did. If you didn't read that (see the "required reading" post), go have a look.
