On so many levels, this is a rich statement by the RNC Convention’s Parliamentarian:

California Rep. David Dreier said Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy demonstrates her connection to other families who have similar issues.

Ah, empathy from an unmarried congressman who is trying to connect with voters instead of answer the questions about McCain’s vetting process for who he thinks should have their finger on the trigger if his cancer catches up with him.

But it isn’t about the daughter of Palin (who will probably join the Harriet Miers club faster than you can say “troopergate”). It is about McCain’s reckless recklessness. Here he goes again, the polls showed that if he put Joementum on the ticket he’d be hated by everyone but Joe Klein so instead he over-reacted to his advisers and put on somebody with literally no qualifications and obviously zero vetting as troopergate is more than enough for her to look less mentally unbalanced than Eagleton.

But here in California, once again we have David Dreier working against the facts. Nobody thinks an abstinence-only/creationism debate is going to help the GOP, yet David Dreier sticks out his credibility once again to be a Rubber Stamp for the Bush Administration. This time, the Third Bush Administration.
