"If the Obamas had a 17 year-old daughter who was unmarried and pregnant..."
A rare moment of brutal honesty from neocon Byon York:

If the Obamas had a 17 year-old daughter who was unmarried and pregnant by a tough-talking black kid, my guess is if that they all appeared onstage at a Democratic convention and the delegates were cheering wildly, a number of conservatives might be discussing the issue of dysfunctional black families.

1. You could take that to the bank.
The chorus from the right wing would be deafening.

4. I for one am really looking forward to the show tonight.
I've always loved shows like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. Anybody know what time they are doing the paternity test?

5. It would be a spectacle... the question of morality would be raised...
...there would be tidal waves of talk around personal responsibility, the pathological christian right would be pointing fingers ferociously indicting 'failed liberal policies,' racial innuendo would be thick as peanut butter and oozing profusely from the racist wing of the party.

And yet Dems are supposed to keep their mouths shut. What a joke.

In my opinion, the situation should be exploited to bring into focus the abject failure of the fantasy worlder ideas on morality and education.

8. here let me finish that sentence......
you would never hear the end of every sordid detail...it would be examined up, down, backward, foreward and there would be a generous amount of criticism to go around, for all involved...wb
