For all the criticism the media and blog world (this celebrity gossip site included) has endured for supposedly biased coverage of Gov. Sarah Palin and pregnant daughter Bristol, some of her biggest fans may be a tad hypocritical, as well.
Case in point: Bill O’Reilly.
Here’s what the Fox News personality had to say about Bristol Palin …
“Millions of families are dealing with teen pregnancy, and as long as society doesn’t have to support the mother, father or baby, it is a personal matter. Some Americans will judge Governor Palin and her family, and she will have a hard time running for vice president if there is much more chaos. For the sake of her and her family, we hope things calm down. This country needs a vibrant policy debate, not a soap opera.”
This would be a fair assessment if it weren’t only because he likes Palin’s politics. Here’s what he said last year about pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears:
“On the pinhead front, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. The sister of Britney says she is shocked. I bet. Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Britney Spears. Look at the way she behaves. And by the way, the mother, Lynne Spears, has reportedly already sold pictures of the upcoming baby of her 16-year-old for a million bucks. Incredible pinhead.”
No one is calling Sarah Palin Lynne Spears. But does this mean Bristol is a pinhead? And by this logic, shouldn’t he simply leave Jamie Lynn alone?
Makes you think.
