Hockey Guy, You're Famous!

Apparently, Grampy McSame is a big fan of reality television. I suppose he has his pudding on a TV table watching the latest version of Biggest Loser or Wife Swap. Appropriately, he's now got a supporting role in the latest hit, Baby Daddy, in which a 17 year old boy from Alaska is whisked off to the Twin Cities to meet the man who in six weeks could be the President of the United States! And what great feat did he pull off to win this great honor? He knocked up his high school girlfriend...



The cameras were rolling, the world was watching. Fox News complains non-stop about the MSM's shameless attacks on the Palin family, the gross invasion of privacy that has taken place because the liberal media has pried into the sanctity of this family matter. In other words, keep the family out of it, and never mind the fact that we leaked the story and have shamelessly used the family as props all week. Oh, and who's turn is it to hold the little special kid?

Ten days ago, he was a high school dropout, drinking beer and smoking weed in Alaska, and today, he's being lauded by the fundamentalist right wing as a symbol of strong "culture of life" family values.

What a strange world.
