Excellent point by caller to Thom Hartmann show!
"There's a 17-year-old black kid in jail for X years for statutory rape of a 16-year-old. Why is Palin parading around the kid who 'raped' her kid?"

1. 16 is the age of consent in Alaska - no statutory rape in this case

2. It is a great point, but it slips by on a technicality...age of consent...
16 in AK. But it is STILL a great point and holds the repuke hypocrisy out there for all to see.

3. That boy is in jail out of racist fear. I hope he is released.
Personally, I don't think teenagers should be charged unless there is a big difference in their ages (19 having sex with 14, 15 year old).
