Bristol Palin’s Immaculate Conception fits right in.

Speaking of Rush, to continue with the possibilities: What’s going to happen if Rush Limbaugh says the Sun rises in the West?

(Hint: Every compass and GPS in the world owned by a Conservative will have to be recalibrated.)

After all, it’s in the Grand Tradition of the Conservative plan of the way to eliminate gun violence is to arm every man, woman and child in the US. (Now, Dear Reader, don’t laugh, people believe that. This is serious business.)

Or that AGW is the result of greedy, conniving, lying and scheming Liberal scientists looking to hamstring the struggling, altruistic Big Oil companies for their own selfish benefit. (C’mon, you’re laughing again. People DO believe that.)

I suppose one should not be shocked by the Party of Sarah Palin, after all. Powerful intellects out there, aren’t there? Able to see right through logic and reason to the true core of the issues, sweeping aside inconvenient facts on the way to a predetermined stand.

Scary, huh?

(Otherwise, I really couldn’t give a rat’s ass either.)

…Both the schadenfreude squad and the hypocrisy police were out in full force Friday morning, spamming social media with slick memes thrown together so quickly you wonder if they had them ready to go in advance in a special “break glass in case of opportunity to mock social conservatives” file.

… Miss Palin, according to one viral talking point making the rounds on Twitter and Facebook, made $262,000 in a single year from speaking fees promoting abstinence after the birth of her first child, Tripp, with whom she became pregnant at the age of 17 …

… All together now: “How hypocritical! Why don’t you practice what you preach, Palin?”

Actually, she did. Some quotes:

Speaking to Greta Van Susteren in 2009: “But I think abstinence is, like – like, the – I don’t know how to put it – like, the main – everyone should be abstinent or whatever but it’s not realistic at all…. Because it’s more and more accepted now….[Y]ou should just wait 10 years and it’d just be so much easier.”

Speaking to Dr. Drew Pinsky in 2011: “[I’m not] an abstinence preacher …. I’m not out there saying don’t have sex. I hate that kind of stuff. Birth control needs to be used effectively each and every single time …

…the speaking fees she made were from her role with the Candie’s Foundation’s “Pause Before You Play” campaign – an anti-teen pregnancy initiative sponsored by a charity that has honored Hillary Clinton, Katie Couric, Jane Fonda and Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall (none of whom are known as promoters of teen abstinence) as being particularly helpful to the cause. Palin was hired as a speaker not to promote abstinence, but to talk about the difficulties of being a teenage mother – something she was well-qualified to speak on, considering she was one.

I can hear the critics now: “But she’s still a hypocrite! Her whole shtick has been, ‘I’ve learned my lesson the hard way, don’t make my same mistake,’ And now, she’s gone and done it AGAIN!”
