I'm not sure where you were during the campaign if you missed news stories about the Palins. Google "Palin's daughter pregnant" and you'll find hundreds of them. I read it in
The New York Times. As for comedians, they all made lots of jokes about it; David Letterman, Bill Maher, Kathy Griffin and Dan Savage to name a few.
I don't think this is a Left/Right issue. It's a sleazy politician issue. All of them use their families as props and all of their families are punished for it.
