The Rumors are Flying!

Well, well, well! Looky, looky, looky! Over the course of this Labor Day weekend, the rumors have been flying when it comes to Senator McCain's choice in VP, Alaskan Governer Sarah Palin. First came the shocking announcement that Palin's seventeen year old daughter is five months pregnant. Sure, this happens to a lot of people, but in this particular case Palin has previously rejected sex education in schools in favor of teaching abstinence. Smph, its a really bad look when your teen daughter shows up prego! Also it was learned that Palin now has hired a private lawyer in a legislative ethics investigation in Alaska into whether she abused her power in dismissing the state’s public safety commissioner; that she was a member for two years in the 1990s of the Alaska Independence Party, which has at times sought a vote on whether the state should secede; and that Mr. Palin was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge. But thats not all; it has been said by various sources in the McCain camp that Palin was a "rushed pick". Hours before McCain named her as his choice for VP he was still holding out for a yes from Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge. Well, if this ain't bettter than TV! I guess we all shall have to wait and see how all of this info plays out during the remainder of the week.
