Someone<\/i> had to make this connection \u2014 and while I did think of it earlier today, RC<\/a> at Strange Culture wrote it up first:<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac MacGuff:<\/b> And this, of course, is Juno<\/a>.
Mark Loring:<\/b> Like the city<\/a> in Alaska.
Juno MacGuff:<\/b> No.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I<\/i> want to know is why so many people seem to think that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin<\/a>\u2018s family-values cred is compromised by her teenaged daughter\u2019s pregnancy<\/a>, given that so many pro-lifers were very eager to claim Juno<\/i> \u2014 the movie that supposedly romanticized teen pregnancy<\/a> \u2014 as one of their own only a few months ago. Haven\u2019t pro-lifers proved that they can deal with, and even on some level embrace, this sort of thing?<\/p>\n

As Rod Dreher<\/a> puts it, \u201cI can\u2019t help thinking that in the matter of Bristol Palin and her unborn child, many on the left simply can\u2019t stand it that conservatives are failing to live up to the malign stereotypes liberals have of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
