People magazine got the scoop on interviewing the McCain and Palin families today, but, oddly enough, the families featured almost every child, except for McCain's sons (from a previous marriage) and their adopted Bangladeshi daughter (who looks a little different). I don't see anything wrong with including his adopted daughter in the photo. It's not exploitative -- the Palins obviously have no qualms including their younger children in the photo. Nor is there anything inherently wrong with the child, except for the fact that she isn't a beauty queen like her mother and our potential vice president.

Or maybe it's because he doesn't want to remind people of the crude joke he told about Chelsea Clinton in 1998 -- "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

Either way, this is a man who puts politics first before everything.
Some Republican family values.

I don't think it is -- I think the issue is much larger than just the bimbo ad. Read More
