Politics are stupid

This whole Sarah Palin thing is ridiculous.

It's ridiculous that people are making an issue out of her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy. It's not a reflection of bad parenting. It's not a reflection of the McCain campaign. It's not a reflection of this girl being an awful person.

It's ridiculous that Republicans are telling everybody that it's a private matter and that nobody should talk about it. That wasn't the case with Bill Clinton. I guess that's only the case when the matter happens to be inconvenient for the GOP, which shoves superficial, self-righteous, hollow moral-values rhetoric down the throats of anyone who does not agree with them.

It's ridiculous that people would question Palin's judgement concerning her own recent pregnancy, which produced a baby with Down's Syndrome. No, it's not the best idea to be pregnant in your 40s, but if she got pregnant, she got pregnant. Big deal. At least the child appears it will be taken care of in a good family.

It's ridiculous that John McCain picked her to be his running mate. She hasn't been the governor of Alaska for even two years. She doesn't have any foreign policy experience. She's pretty. Maybe that's why McCain picked her.

It seems McCain made a mistake in the total opposite direction that Barack Obama made. Obama, whose campaign is based on his overwhelming "change" language, selected one of the most well-known, hard-line, partisan-politics Democrats in Joe Biden as his running mate.

Perhaps in an attempt to steal Hillary Clinton supporters, I guess McCain looked at the an alphabetized list of states and picked the first significant female figure he came across.

It's all ridiculous.
