This is the must-read editorial of the year so far. Frank Bruni takes Bristol Palin and the whole hypocritical, self-righteous wing of the Republican party to task. His abhorrence of Little Miss Palin seems unquenchable. Bristol Palin so perfectly distills the double standards and audacity of so many of our country’s self-appointed moralists and supposed traditionalists: hypocrites [...] WOOT!
