We already know McCain's vetting of Palin was woefully inadequate. But of all the revelations about Palin, there may yet be another, more shocking than anyone is prepared for.
Follow me over the jump....
Among the revelations about Palin that led some to suspect that her vetting was less than thorough was the news that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter, Bristol, was pregnant. But that wasn't what was shocking. The shocking news was that despite her public position on abortion, Sarah Palin is apparently Pro-Choice:
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support."
But what's more, the Palins seem not to know or care whether young Levi is even the father of the child:
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
Then there was the news of Todd Palin's drunk driving arrest. But this is hardly news. It happened a long time ago, and besides, if that kind of news isn't enough to derail G.W. Bush's candidacy, it's not going to do much to kill Palin's.
But all this gossipy scandal aside, there are still substantive problems, like her love of pork, and her Pastor Problem.
But more shocking than all of this is the potential that she may be a Manchurian Candidate, a sleeper, a plant, a radical Islamo-fascist here to make the good Christian people of the America bend to the twisted law of Islam. You want proof? It only takes a quick search of anagrams of her name to reveal that "Sarah Palin" is in fact just a clever rearrangement of "ShariaPlan."
If you doubt the veracity of my investigative method, just take a listen to Sarah Palin's voice. Note the annoying nasal quality and the flat vowels, which she deploys like a poorly tuned musical instrument. Now consider that another anagram of "Sarah Palin" is "I, Nasal Harp."
Republicans are quick to defend Palin against all the other revelations...she's just a regular American, after all. But when this news breaks, it will all be over. We already know what they think about the irrefutable evidence of Islamic allegiance contained in a name.
Mark my words, the Hannitys and Limbaughs and Coulters and Becks will be talking about this any day now. Any day now....
