Well, Sarah Palin was certainly slapped in the face with a hefty dose of irony. Palin, conservative running mate of John McCain and strong proponent of abstinence-only education has admitted that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. And, of course, Palin's daughter plans to marry the father of her baby... because anything else would simply not be good for mommy's image. Governor Palin's statement:

"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows that she has our unconditional love and support."

Hmm, I wonder if things would have turned out differently if Governor Palin had taught her daughter about proper condom use.
