Sarah Palin answered, "God made Adam and Eve, they had children, and so was all mankind made." Two days later, the girl wrote to Michelle Obama and asked the same question. Michelle Obama answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved..." The confused girl went to her father and asked, " Dad, how is it possible that Sarah Palin told me the Human race was created by God, and Michelle Obama said they evolved from monkeys." The father answered, "Well, Dear, it's very simple, Sarah Palin told you about her ancestors and Michelle Obama told you about hers." A little girl wrote to Sarah Palin and asked, “How did the human race start?”

A number of the bills he signed were perfectly progressive. Ditto Nixon. Republicans used to know how to pick their battles. Now they're just freakin' insane. bobpine Says:

Moreover, it's about time someone remind all those double standard whiners that Chelsea Clinton was treated for more horribly by the Conservative talking heads than the Palin children have been treated by Liberals; and she didn't even get knocked-up as a teenager.
