Jerry Springer: Call the Palins ASAP.

Okay. John McCain chose Sarah Palin without vetting her. That was his rash, impulsive decision. But, it's time to untangle the Sarah Palin story -- and it's becoming clear that the only person who can really do it is Jerry Springer.

Let's review: Sarah is one of those fundamentalist types who like her new partner, John McCain, supports abstinence education. Yet, Sarah's 17 year old daughter is five months pregnant. That story came out to put an end to rumors that Sarah herself is actually the grandmother of her fifth child:

The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

Either way, like her daughter, Sarah may have gone down that pre-marital sex path herself.

Then, we have Sarah's sister and her ex-husband. That divorce seems like one for the ages. It's resulted in an investigation of the Governor for possible abuse of power. The details of the divorce have been showing up in articles -- it's very ugly. And, there are a lot of offspring in that clan:

"Wooten was counseled by my husband to join Molly in acting civilly and with maturity during their divorce -- for the sake of the nine kids they and Wooten's girlfriend have between them all -- and who are adversely affected by their circumstances. Wooten evidently took umbrage with the advice and that day told Molly she'd better 'put a leash on your sister' or he'd 'bring Sarah Palin down.'"

There's even an in-law squabble. Sarah's mother-in-law (who "still hasn't decided which way she'll vote") dissed her to the NY Daily News:

"I'm not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she's a woman and a conservative. Well, she's a better speaker than McCain," Faye Palin said with a laugh.

And, then, there's Todd, the "First Dude." Note how many times his name pops up in the scandal stories. Seriously, Todd is at the center of all of this.

Like it or not, you have to admit, this is tailor made for Jerry Springer. Let Jerry do the digging the McCain campaign didn't do.
