Here’s how I imagine the “news breaking” conversation to have sounded:

New Mom: (holding their newborn) Sigh… she’s perfect.

Republican Dad: She certainly is.

New Mom: What do you think we should name her?

Republican Dad: I already named her.

New Mom: I was thinking Christine, after my Grandmotherwaitsorry, what did you say?

Republican Dad: I already named her.

New Mom: (pause.) Well… OK… what did you name her?

Republican Dad: Sarah McCain Palin.

New Mom: That’s funny. But seriously, what did you name her.

Republican Dad: (Unfurls rolled up birth certificate from his coat pocket.)

New Mom: (Slowly puts baby down in bassinet. The sound of heels agains the planks fades into the distance, until we eventually hear a door slam, the car engine start, and tires screech their way out of the driveway. Republican Dad stands in the baby room, confused. And then the baby cries. Forever.)
