I've seen "rewarding" which is even worse than "condoning".

What you see as rewarding, I see as accepting a bad situation and trying to show family solidarity after being thrust on the national stage. Also, I would guess that privately the Palins are at times seething with anger...anger that this girl has thrown away her youth and anger that this girl has brought a certain amount of 'disgrace' and ridicule to their family which as governor already lives a public life.

Rewarding, IMO, would be for Sarah Palin to turn down the opportunity to be VEEP in order to spare her daughter the embarrassment of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy. On a previous post, didn't you say that you and some of your fellow teachers thought Palin was being selfish and putting herself ahead of her daughter by allowing her situation to be exploited by the press?

If it were me and my daughter had the audacity to complain that I was going to make her feel embarrassed, I would (after I resisted the urge to slug her) tell her "Tough cookies, girl....buck up and learn how to handle it. You're a grown-up now."
