I happen to agree with Gov. Palin’s politics, but even if you don’t you gotta admit the woman looks good. Here she is relaxing a little bit while in Florida for the Republican Governor’s Conference.

Gov. Sarah Palin has done several television interviews the last few days. One was with Matt Lauer and the other with Greta Van Susteren. Greta’s interview with Palin was probably one of the best interviews of 2008. It was a fascinating in home interview in which the governor cooked Moose chili and Caribou hot dogs for Greta and the crew. The interview was in two parts with each lasting nearly an hour and aired Monday and Tuesday night.

Out of everything Gov. Palin said on those two nights, the only part the media is buzzing about was when she spoke about God and her faith. One would think we were living in a secular progressive country led by an Athiest president for the last eight years given the media’s reaction to her comments.

Chris Matthews called Palin’s references to her faith “dangerous” and Maureen Dowd couldn’t resist penning a snotty little op-ed referencing the comments as well. It goes without saying that Dowd being the liberal elitist b*tch that she is, just can’t help herself. The idea that a woman could actually be unpretentious and authentic is simply inconceivable. Any woman who doesn’t abort her babies, doesn’t live in NYC, and doesn’t believe Al Gore is quite simply — a dumbass.

‘Chutzpah’ is the word that comes to mind when I hear Chris Matthews call Gov. Palin’s religious views “dangerous.” This from a guy who said on air that Barack Obama’s speeches give him a thrill up his leg. Or when he said just a couple of days ago that his job is to make Obama’s presidency a success. Now that is dangerous.

In case you missed the interview with Gov. Palin, here’s the hideous thing she said about her faith:

We are gonna have a 2012. I don’t know who’s gonna be a part of it. You
know I, I, faith is a very big part of my life and putting, putting my
life in my creator’s hands. This is what I always do in life. Okay God
if there is an open door for me somewhere – this is what I always pray
– I’m like don’t let me miss the open door. And if there is an open
door in ’12 or four years later and if it’s something that’s gonna be
good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me,
then I’ll plow through that door.

Whoa! Now that’s what I call controversial. After all, we’ve never heard Barack Obama talk about his faith.

John McCain’s vice presidential running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, said today that her 17-year old daughter Bristol is pregnant.

The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said.

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,” the Palins’ statement said.

“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 she has our unconditional love and support,” the Palins said.

The outrageous lies and smears by the left wing blogs about Gov. Palin and her daughter are outrageous and disgusting. I am glad however, that the Gov. decided to go ahead and announce her daughter’s pregnancy and get it out there so we can all move on.

I think her daughter’s pregnancy just reinforces the fact that Gov. Palin is a regular American with a regular American family. Millions of families all across this country regardless socioeconomic status are forced to deal with teenage pregnancies, and that includes daughters of vice presidential candidates.

The appropriate thing to do now is give Bristol Palin her privacy.
