Family Values

There was a nice little contrast this weekend under the category of News About Politicians’ Children.
 
There was the nice, simple little wedding of Chelsea Clinton.
 
(I can already see my conservative commentators’ blood pressure rising as they prepare to lace into the cost and glitz of the ceremony. Give the girl a break. She deserves it after growing up in the White House hothouse.)
 
Then there are the bewildering stories about Bristol Palin. As best I can decipher, she reconciled with bad-boy Levi Johnson. At least until it turned out Levi had been otherwise, shall we say, occupied in the interim.
 
Here’s my point. All you conservatives who ripped Bill Clinton’s morals and now see Sarah Palin as America’s moral savior need to explain how he (and Hillary) raised such a fine girl and Palin, such a – what’s the word I’m looking for?
