A Nation in Crisis: The Bristol Palin National Pregnancy Crisis, Day 2

Courage.

"Can you have too much intensity?"

JOHN THUNE:....And the one thing that we need going into the fall campaign, which have had a little bit of a deficit on, is enthusiasm and intensity. And there's tremendous intensity behind this pick. And for that reason I think it was the right pick. If you want to get Republican voters to turn out in the fall you got to have that intensity, and Governor Palin certainly has created that among Republicans not only here but I think across the country.

MITCHELL: Can you have too much intensity? Is there the possibility that there's just too much stuff out there, too much talk, that it's too complicated for people to think of her as a potential Commander-in-Chief?

What can I say, she inspires me. I get a little thrill up my leg.

Media worries for poor John McCain that his Veep pick is taking too much of the spotlight off him.

Media also continues in its poignant concern for the Palin kids, praying that the American electorate won't take Trig's mommy from him.

Allah says this is must-see, but I don't see which link he means. Let me know if you figure it out.

DKos, as you probably know, has deleted all it's Trig Trutherism posts. (Vid in the above link; post about it at LGF; looks like he didn't yet delete one of the diaries, but I imagine he'll get around to it now that Charles has apprised him of his oversight.)

According to a commenter (and why should I check?), Kos is claiming the smear didn't originate with him, but with "Alaska Republicans on the radio."

Ah. Yes, that's why we spent the weekend talking about it. Because we were all glued to our radios listening to Alaskan talk radio. We all got this from Rush's cousin, Slush Limbaugh, and his radio show, Slush Limbaugh's Right-Wing Agent Provocateur Gothic Fake Pregnancy Krazy Konspiracy Kavalcade & Professional Toboggan Fantasy League Report.

I just drafted Swedish tobaggon prodigy and alopecia sufferer Igmar Johanssen. Kid's got amazing rocket-powered leg-strength to launch the toboggan, and almost no wind resistance whatsoever.

I'll update this more.

BTW, some have expressed reservations about my posting Levi Johnston's pic in a below post. I get the concern, but let's be realistic here: The article is from an MSM source, and the picture is contained therein. Anyone clicking on the article will see it anyway. It's been published all over the place. The kid's about to marry the daughter of the Governor of Alaska and quite possibly the next Vice President of the United States. The left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) is determined to make teen pregnancy the central front on the war on Bush's terror.

Let's say I delete the pic. Honestly -- who am I hiding it from?

More Crisis: NYT says pregnancy "fair game;" worries terribly that Sarah Palin has chosen to expose her daughter to the vicious media scrutiny the NYT is promising; also frets, again, how Sarah "Negligent Mother" Palin can possibly juggle the responsibilities of motherhood and high office.

Honestly, the level of concern shown here for Sarah Palin, Brisol Palin, and even John McCain losing his share of national attention is quite amazing.

Kudos to the national media for finally getting it, and worrying so very, very much about the emotional well-being of Sarah Palin and John McCain.

I could almost cry.
