She’s definitely her mother’s daughter

Bristol Palin writes an open letter to President Obama in the wake of his crying crocodile tears of sympathy for progressive women who get called mean names: “Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call?”
But hereβs why Iβm a little surprised my phone hasnβt rung. Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. Heβs made fun of my brother because of his Downβs Syndrome. Heβs said I was βfβ-d so hard a baby fell out.β (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption Iβve found in God after my past β very public β mistakes.)
If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, youβd return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you. After all, Iβve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. Thatβs why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom β you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.
Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that youβre in office, it seems youβre only willing to defend certain women. Youβre only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.
Three points, nothing but net.
