What?! They've NEVER talked about the kids of candidates until today??!!

[SaveAmerica]

According to the Dingbat McCain Adviser who was just speaking on Mourning Joe (RIP - I just watched my last minutes of it) candidates' and presidents' kids have been off-limits and never brought up until the past 48 hours. I bet Chelsea Clinton is surprised to hear that.

There is officially only one hour of tv I'll watch - I gave MSNBC in the morning a try to see if it matched Keith's clarity, give me a break!!

1. I also remember a lot of talk

on Morning Joe how it was a "rookie mistake" and "exploitative" when Obama had his kids on that entertainment show and then regretted it. I also remember Pat screeching about "how could he bring his kids TO THAT CHURCH???" too. They are so ridiculous.

2. Face it GOP - Limbaugh opened this door back when he called Chelsea "the Whitehouse dog" on TV

He was the one who widened this playing field...

[Virginia Dare]

3. McCain himself attacked Chelsea Clinton..

there is no high road for the repubs here. The genie is out of the bottle. It will not be controlled.

[POAS]

7. Goes back farther than that!

You should have heard the stuff about Mamie Eisenhower!

More recently they attacked Amy Carter.

I'm sure it goes back even farther than Mamie!

[Wickerman]

4. Amy Carter?

Hell, Julie Nixon was used as publicity fodder for Tricky Dick and how about the infamous David Eisenhower graffiti, "I'll be back?"

[SaveAmerica]

9. I'd forgotten about Amy Carter - the Carter's were HORRIBLE parents because Amy

read a book at the dinner table. The hypocrisy is so thick you can't slice through it. I honestly had hope for Mika, but when she said that both Pregnant Palins are examples of how they made good pro-life choices, she just lost me. Take away sex education for our kids and then turn your back on your kids so they're running wild and get pregnant, but hey, you're the perfect example of Christian family values.

5. 48 hours????

[SaveAmerica]

10. Yes, she had the nerve to say '48 hours', they have the nerve to suddently start talking about

candidates' kids, I think she was even trying to squeeze out a tear.

[POAS]

12. I thought for sure that was a typo.

Past 48 years might even be a stretch!

6. I'm sure John mcCane can remember his wee "joke" about Chelsea Clinton being "so ugly".

Or is his memory totally gone, being such an old tit that he is.

[ellacott]

13. This is why I think we need stronger Dem surrogates on TV

This should be publicized more strongly. They are despicable hypocrites.

We don't even have to look to Dem children. The Bush twins made lots of news also for their drinking.

[BeyondGeography]

8. They've always been raving hypocrites

Maybe America will finally figure it out this time.

[valerief]

11. I wonder which of Obama's kids they're going to call ugly a la Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton. nt
