You know I actually had some sympathy for her before she posted her whiny self-obsessed,petulant, narcisstic little rant -and I was declined to give her the benefit of the doubt since I generally give the children of politicians a free pass because I don't believe it's fair that children should be held accountable for the failings and misdeeds of the parents. And I don't particularly like Bill Maher either nor do I think he should have made those comments. But to compare herself to Sandra Fluke and try to portray herself as some maligned martyr -well that makes her so -I don't know -Sarah Palin-like. I guess the apple doesn't fall from the tree.
And why doesn't Bristol's mother do the classy thing and apologize to the Obama family for the thinly veiled racial inflammatory rhetoric she spewed against President Obama during the 2008 election campaign and in the subsequent years which, according to all reliable news reports, generated a great deal of threats of violence and death toward President Obama and her family.
