The response to Bristol bonker Levi Johnston is absolutely surreal! [View All]

Help! I cannot get my mind around this. Here is an 18-year-old ne'er-do-well who knocked up the governor's 16-year-old daughter by having sex with her with no protection. And here is presidential candidate John McCain buddying up to this dope as if he had discovered a cure for cancer or started a home for handicapped children. (There is another photo of McCain hugging the little punk, but I couldn't find a copy quickly.)

They invited the guy who committed this sin to their convention!

What gives? I would have thought this would be seen as a horrible infraction of the "abstinence only" rules Barbie wants to impose on everyone else's family. It is simply not a Good Thing, at 18, to make a 16-year-old girl pregnant, and not just any 16-year-old girl, no, this was the frackin' governor's frackin' daughter!

But no. Instead of being criticized or punished, this lout is given the full Red Carpet Treatment, including a chat with McCain, a known womanizer himself, and the two of them are praised to the skies. Their bastard child is a "blessed gift from God". She made a "courageous choice" by deciding not to abort the child and be dispatched straightaway to Hell.

Holy Hannah. This is just too psychotic for me. Is it really happening?
