It's not particularly newsworthy that an 18-year old girl has a child - happens all the time. However, Sarah Palin is the moral voice of Alaska, an ultra-conservative right winger who opposes abortion and promotes family values such as marriage (man-woman marriage, not the other kinds) and the couple are planning to marry in 2009.
Hoopy-fucking-do!
Wait a minute - traditional family values? Marriage?
That makes poor little Trip Jnr. a bastard (as in born out of wedlock) a label he will have to carry for the rest of his life. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also likely to be a creationist-republican. I'd rather be a bastard - oh wait...
This stable door has been open so long, horse hasn't just bolted (to borrow from Douglas Adams) it's gotten buried in soft peat and been recycled as fire-lighters. In neo-Conservative eyes, you grow up THEN get married THEN you have sex (for the 1st time) THEN you have children. Unless you cut out the awkward middle-man (commitment) and just say, "fuck it, let's breed."
This Palin family reaction is typical goalpost shifting - while they preach one thing, when they are caught doing something else, they just sweep it under the rug and pretend it was all OK.
Staggeringly, this "private matter" is being ignored by conservative America which is a shame - if they would only pull their heads out of the sand they could actually see what a disgrace the people they vote for are.
