A Lady by the name of...

Would you draw out the Buchanan parallel a bit, Les.

Sorry for the delay, I am sure I read that pat Buchanan said she had been one of his supporters in a previous election and that she had certain sympathies with his religious views.

You may gather whatever you choose, I was merely providing a link to what Les was referring to.


On a separate matter...
This morning's WTF moment is provided by Bill O'Reilly in this week's Time magazine "Ten Questions for Bill O'Reilly"...

Q.-Given your defense of Sarah Palin's judgment on Bristol Palin, do you take back what you said about Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy--that her parents were to blame? Emil Caillaux, LIMA

A.-When I talked about the Spears parents, I said the parents were pinheads because they didn't supervise their young daughters. I stand by that remark. There's no evidence that the Palins did not supervise their daughter or their other children.

"Evidence" is a very fluid word in O'ReillyWorld apparently.

If the Palin family's situation generates the "drama" of the Spears situation and is documented to the same fare-thee-well, we may actually have evidence that we could judge as "fluid".

This will take another few days, I'd guess, so stay tuned.

The Palin girl still has to become a pop star, sing at the Super Bowl, have serial boyfriends, and go nuts, all while fitting in the giving-birth thing.

I have no doubt it would be an issue about family control for social conservatives if Palin was on the democratic party ticket, but I don't see how it's relevant to the Palin ticket other than a gotcha in regards to pushing a social agenda such as abstinence only education.

So far I have seen nothing to make me doubt her social conservatism.
I feel there has been an attitude of who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes when it comes to claims of her fiscal record.
I will state that being under investigation doesn't equal guilt, but why are they trying to block subpoenas in the abuse of power investigation? (doesn't this sound familiar)

I think you're confusing the Spears sisters.
Jamie Lynn is the 16 year old babymama, not Britney.
Jamie Lynn may aspire to her sibling's notoriety- only time will tell- but as of now she's just a relatively normal teenager (who probably all aspire to pop princessdom).

Not confusing them at all, just making the point that parenting seems to be a bit more of an issue in the Spears family than for the Palins, who have two more daughters who are not pregnant.

The Spears clan is batting 1.000, as compared to the Palins' .333.

As an aside, and apropos of nothing at all, I remember Britney being a republican, so.

Yeah, it reminds me of the Clintons.

Given that Britney is 26 years old, it would seem that the time for blaming the parents has long since passed.

Why is it that Britney wasn't embraced by the conservative right like Bristol was?

Has Bristol been "embraced"?

As to Britney, you feel her familial circumstances did not contribute at all?

Her earlier (as in early teenaged) exploits are rumored to have been quite racy; her mom says Britney lost her virginity well prior to meeting that Timberlake fellow, I guess.

So, you really wanna defend O'Reilly on this one?

I have no idea what O'Reilly says or thinks, though certain things can be inferred.

I don't like him and I don't watch him, and I thought you knew that.

Britney blurbs are not at all hard to find, though I steer clear of US magazine.

Yes.
The Inuit are massing on the border and preparing to annex Canada.

Don't tell Idol or Ross, it's a surprise.

Edit:
What's happened here?
Looks like some posts were dropped because my post makes no sense as a response to j2.
Maybe I was just hallucinating.
