This has been around, but even if you've already seen it it's still funny. And instructive. Well, maybe not for everyone. Some people aren't trainable:
There was an illuminating paragraph in todays Time.com online edition regarding Palin and her supporters.
"While many pundits have wondered whether social conservatives will recoil from the news that Palin's 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant, they're clearly not grasping the mores of that community. If Bristol Palin were the daughter of Democratic parents, she would undoubtedly be held up as an example of the failures of a liberal, permissive culture. Instead, she is viewed, as are the majority of teenage mothers in Evangelical churches, as a Christian who sinned, is forgiven, and needs to be embraced and supported. "
I can imagine the editor getting this article before it was published.
"The piece is fine but could you please replace the phrase 'deep seated hypocrisy' with the word 'mores'. That is, if you'd like to keep your job."
