Dave Lindorff: Palin is the Real 'American Taliban'
Submitted by BuzzFlash on Mon, 09/08/2008 - 12:49pm. Dave Lindorff
Back in the early days of the seemingly interminable Afghan conflict, a young American, trapped in Afghanistan by the U.S. invasion of that country, was captured along with Taliban fighters and, after a bit of captivity and "enhanced interrogation" at the tender mercies of U.S. troops, was transported back for trial in the U.S., where then Attorney General John Ashcroft excitedly labeled him the "American Taliban."

But John Walker Lindh, railroaded into a 20-year jail sentence and slapped with a gag order that bars him from talking about how he was tortured for the entire length of his incarceration in Afghanistan, is not the real American Taliban. That title should probably belong to our new Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.

According to reporting in the latest edition of the National Enquirer, a paper routinely maligned as a grocery-store scandal sheet, but actually boasting a skilled investigative reporting team that makes what passes for investigative reporting these days at most corporate media shops look like bad jokes (the Enquirer exposed John Edwards' extra-marital affair and blew his political career out of the water), Palin sought to cover up, perhaps even from John McCain, her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy until after she was safely nominated. Her plan, says the Enquirer, which spoke to acquaintances and neighbors in Palin's hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, had been to get through the convention, then get daughter Bristol married to the infant-to-be's father, 18-year-old Levi Johnston, and only then announce the pregnancy.

That plan was reportedly scotched by Bristol, who the Enquirer reports was "at war" with her mother over the idea of a politically motivated shotgun wedding.

2. Well, good for Bristol for standing up to Mommie Dearest!

I feel very sorry for both Bristol and Baby Daddy. What Sarah Palin is doing to them is despicable and inexcusable.

3. Ya know, the only thing I can think of that would be worse than

being single and pregnant while in high school would be to bed pregnant and married to some low-life redneck while in high school.

Sheesh.

4. I'm not really going off topic, but it might seem like it - I believe the Sarah

is not going before the camera to discuss the economy or Georgia or Iran or Fannie because she is too involved with lawyers and framers who are standing by in their quest to see which legalaity or pay-off is going to work to delay or hide some up-in-the-air problems in her life - little problems that might portray her as not having family values.

She's consulting. Some day we'll hear about many books being written about her that will include this post-convention period. It does look like new stoies stopped today on the net. We had a breather.

5. I still think Trig

Is Bristols baby. She will probably have a "miscarriage" and this whole thing will go away they hope. I feel sorry for Bristol.

6. I don't feel sorry for her

When I was a teenager, my girlfriend and I had sex, but were smart enough to not make any babies. Fucking idiots. The people I feel sorry for are the children of Alaska hurt by Palin's government. She cut funds to programs that would help teenage moms learn how to support themselves and care for their children, along with cutting funds to help educate special-needs kids, like the family's most recent child.

This Palin woman is total scum of the earth.

7. Whoopde doo

just because you were lucky or if you prefer... wise beyond your years doesn't mean the kid doesn't deserve some compassion for the situation she's caught in. She's not the first teen to get pregnant and won't be the last however most aren't under this type of intense scrutiny. Neither can she help who her mother is.

8. Abstinence only Sex Ed.

Doesn't tell you how to prevent them.

9. hahahahahaha

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I thought something like this might be up when I read that the "wedding" was going to take place AFTER the birth...assuming that there is a birth.

[Mesteryo]

12. the Enquirer is full of it..

They shouldn't be allowed to report these rumor stories about minors. Regardless of who her mother is she doesn't deserve this.

13. WTF?

Anybody see this? Hmmm...
