  1. Up until this post, I held Bits & Pieces in high regard.. I don’t care much for either candidate, but this is just tasteless and sleazy

  2. @bailey – The key point to this poster is the quote from Sarah Palin and the yard between popularist sound bites to gain right/left wing votes, what you’re expected to say if you want to become a republican governor and the reality of life and what maybe right when you take out ridiculous electioneering and tradition left/right stances.

    Agreed – B&P used to be the first site on my “Daily” list – no more.

  4. used to visit this site every morning. Not anymore.
    Guess I’ll take your advice and check out Amyoops.
    You are obviously a Obama fan, that is fine but your
    lack of ethics and good taste really hit the big time
    on this one. Bye!

  5. bailey & VrtclSmile – since you’re probably not reading this anymore, may I be the first to say: “WooHoo”.

    Jonco – You can’t please everyone all the time. I wonder what posts they laughed at and at who’s expense, but that was OK because they thought it was funny.

  6. Crispy must be an average lib… no compassion. This is disgusting. She’s 17. Let the kid alone. The liberals have shown what evil people they truly are. The media should be ashamed of itself. Funny how they did everything in their power to keep the John Edward story from being reported. Funny how they don’t report on Obama’s ties to an unrepentant terrorist, or his ties to a vile, hate-filled preacher, or his ties to a convicted felon whom he happened to get his property from at a discount. Amazing how the compassionate liberals have attacked Sarah Palin in every sexist way possible. I’ve never seen such a bunch of hypocrites in my life.
    This poster isn’t remotely funny. It’s disgusting. She’s a KID.

  7. Oh boo hoo.

    “LEAVE BRISTOL ALONE!”

    Ben, if you read this blog every day, then you wouldn’t bitch about these kinds of posts.

  8. I too think it’s in poor taste to give the kid crap for something we ALL did in high school, even though most of us probably didn’t have a baby as a result…but I still thought this was funny and clever.

    Also, at the same time, how are people NOT supposed to mention that a kid in the “family values” party in in this situation? To me it just shows poor judgement on McCain’s part to put the girl in that situation when he says he knew before asking Palin to join the campaign. I feel bad for the girl, I really do…but that doesn’t mean there’s no mixed-message being sent here.

    Though, mostly I just found the Juno/Juneau thing clever. 🙂

    …but I will say that I’m going to be having nightmares of McCain in those shorts for weeks to come.

  9. I too liked the play on words juno/Juneau and thought it was clever.

    bad taste but clever.

    apparently candidates kids are only off limits if your last name is Clinton.

  10. Huh? There are multitudes of “Chelsea’s ugly” jokes dating back to Clinton’s run from such folks as Limbaugh and even Mr. McCain.

    This article’s ridiculously slanted…but it contains some pretty interesting examples of kids not being off limits in previous elections, particularly as it applies to what the Republicans have said in the past: (Apologies for the guy’s tone…I didn’t write it…I just think he’s right.)

  11. Looks like some folks think that 2 wrongs must make a right. Chelsea was unfairly criticized. That doesn’t make picking on Mrs. Palin’s daughter ok. This poster is in incredibly poor taste. A grown up should know better. I am one of your fans who turn here first each day. Guess I’ll have to rethink that move after this post. You could apologize and at least begin to make things right.

  12. ….to the whiners….Get a sense of humor, you might find it in the clearance section of your nearest Walmart…jeesh.

  13. …you all know Jon didn’t make the poster, right?

    I’m really starting to think people are so up in arms about this just because they know it’s almost completely sunk the campaign and all they have left now is anger. These jokes were just fine when it was Jamie Lynn Spears…but God forbid it happens in politics.

  14. Besides, the kid’s really pregnant. It’s just reporting the news.
    So much for Republican’s “Family Values”!
