Obvious Double Standard

Imagine that David Letterman had made a disgusting sexual joke about Nancy Pelosi or Rachel Maddow, think he would still be on the air? Let me get this straight, Don Imus gets taken off the radio, Letterman gives a half-hearted "apology" and continues. The double standard is obvious, even to some liberals.

Did McCain Make a Pro-Family VP Choice?

I am surprised—although I really shouldn't be—at the frenzy of support for Governor Palin in the evangelical community. So far I've only found one voice (Voddie Baucham) who is taking a genuinely biblical look, even Al Mohler who I respect greatly is quite disappointing in his response. From Mr. Baucham's comments:

Unfortunately, Christians appear to be headed toward a hairpin turn at breakneck speed without the slightest clue as to the danger ahead. I don’t see this as a pro-family pick at all! Moreover, I believe the conservative fervor over this pick shows how politicized Christians have become at the expense of maintaining a prophetic voice. I believe that Mr. McCain has proven with his VP pick that he is pro-victory, not pro-family. In fact, I believe this was the anti-family pick. I say that for at least two reasons.

Leave it to one voice to ask the question, "but what about her family?"

Speaking of Mr. Mohler, this is a man who is normally relentlessly biblical, but he cannot bring himself to ponder the choice of a woman with 5 kids (three fairly young) taking a job as Vice President in light of Titus 2.3-5. Sad.
