Hey! People! Leave That Kid Alone.

Listen.

All this denigrating of a 17 year old kid because of the potential and/or perceived sins of the parents and the pols has got to stop.

****

The best take I've read on the issue comes from 'Citizen E' commenting at Firedoglake:

As a 60’s Berkeley and 70’s & 80’s Mendocino County lefty, whose oldest daughter got pregnant as teenager, I fervently hope that the left, netroots, Democrats take their nose out of the Palin family business. This is exactly the kind of trivialization Obama spoke of in his speech. We’ve got our eyes in the Palin nomination headlights, when just last week, whether one agrees with each and every policy decision, we heard for the first time in I don’t know how long from a Democrat running for President a real champion. Enough! Let’s get on the stick and make them own their failure, rather than rubbernecking the love life of a seventeen year old girl.


OK?

Oh, and regarding the real failures of the pols, there is, of course, this b/w this.
