Our religious correspondent Pastor Manning submits a cogent analysis of the media’s drubbing of out of wedlock impregnated Bristol Palin, daughter of vice-president contender Sarah Palin, to mainstream media alphabet soup’s Chris Matthews, John Roberts, Wolf Blitzer, and Keith Olbermann.

“The difference between Obama’s mama and Bristol Palin is that Obama’s mama was trash. I mean she was dirt. She was a bag of trash sitting on the sidewalk waiting there in Honolulu on one of those streets for the garbage truck to come by and pick her up and take her to the dump. Rather than the garbage truck coming by a man named…Barack Obama Sr.,…a pathetic alcoholic, [picked her up].” (Pastor Manning)

“That’s what my momma told me. If you don’t like it go tell my momma that you don’t like it.” —Pastor Manning
