Scandals?

People are blogging all over the place that the Bristol Palin pregnancy is a scandal. I don't think so. A scandal is when a young man drives home drunk and parks his car in a river and kills a women. A scandal is when a President has sex with an intern. A scandal is when a married man has an affair with a women who works for him. A scandal is when a candidate purchases a home for less than fair market value from a supporter who is a convicted felon. Those are scandals.

Having sex in small town Alaska and getting pregnant is a mistake not a scandal. I am from a small town and several of my best friends found themselves in this exact situation. The haters just need to simmer down and follow the old adage that people who live in glass houses don't throw rocks.
