OlderBristol Palin Busted In Underage Drinking?
It was announced yesterday that Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, is five-months pregnant. Now, pictures are surfacing on the Internet of the teenage girl supposedly drinking underage.
On top of all of that, The New York Post has identified the baby daddy as Levi Johnston (inset), Bristol’s high school sweetheart.
The teen hockey player’s personal MySpace page admits to him being ‘in a relationship’ but also states, “I don’t want kids.”
Levi continues to boast, “I’m a f - - -in’ redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes. But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in’ chillin’ I guess.”
He even warns, “Ya f - - - with me I’ll kick [your] ass.”
UPDATE: Here’s the link to pictures of Bristol supposedly drinking. People claim the pictures are of Levi’s sister, taken two years ago. What do you think?

WHAT A TRASHY FAMILY
HOW IS SHE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTRY IF SHE CAN’T EVEN CONTROL HER DAUGHTER??
The picture shows her being a regular 17 year old girl. Shocker. And it has been confirmed that the baby was unexpected, so obviously the guy is not going to say he wants kids when he’s 17!
This is just the beginning folks~there’ll be more coming out about this family!
It WILL be a bumpy ride!
I am so sickened by what is going on with the republicans! Forget which party you are voting for, and think for a minute….hmmmm. SHE is NOT the best choice for VP!! Face it she was only chosen because she is a woman and McCain is trying to get 18 million votes!! The republican strategists who appearing on CNN and MSNBC believe the same thing but have to defend McCain’s choice. Face it the republican’s are pissed themselves! American women are not idiots McCain stop trying to lump as all as one with no thinking power. This is utterly disgusting!!
in my country you have an ID at age 18 i don’t think its wrong for a 16 or 17 year old kid to drink.
i used to drink sinc i was like 15 and nothing happend to me i’m at college and now i’m 21. plus i think at her age she is totally aware of what she is doing. i rather buy condoms to my kids or the pill to see them pregnant. the end
AT 17, she will have a baby OMG!!!
She’s crazy!!!! Poor Sarah Palin
Eh is someone here trying to claim the moral high ground that they didn’t participate in underage drinking in their life?
How conservative and Christian of her. Let’s rename the Republican party to Hypocritical party, shall we?
Let’s face it, the reason people are so disturbed by Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy, underage drinking and her ongoing legal woes is because she is a conservative and one that preaches abstinence and is against teaching sex ed in high school. Maybe if her daughter learned about using condoms in high school she would’nt be knocked up now!!!
To “oh snap” I don’t blame the parents. Parents can’t be with their kids 24/7. All we can do is raise them the best we can and hope that they will make the right choices for themselves in the future. Not that its right but, this child is not the first and will definitly not be the last to get pregnant before marriage, Beside’s it the mom is the one running for office the daughter.
Clinton couldn’t control himself and he was a grown man AND in the Oval Office, he was NO child and he couldn’t control himself!!
Its no shocker to hear that another teen girls is with child.
What a bunch of hillbillies!! Great choice McCain! Idiot Republicans are all hypocrites!
oh snap…are you really going to sit there and judge people for something every teenage does in America. Did you have sex before you were married? Did you drink alcohol before you were of legal age? The hypocrisy shown by the liberal democrats have come into full light this week and America will show them on November 4 that they are tired of the liberal double standard.
To Tina: Um, if he’s saying he doesn’t want kids on his MySpace and his GF is 5 MONTHS PREGNANT, might he not have signed on sometime in the past couple of months since they found out and changed that? Please, this family’s a mess! All the right-wingers who make such a big deal over this stuff are the same ones now saying “oh, they’re so realllll, so humannnnn”—people, please, can you honestly imagine what these same holy rollers would be saying if this were a Democrat?
Correction:
Besides ,its the mom that is the one running for office NOT the daughter.
dude, she’s crazy! she’s pregnant and did u know that her soon 2 be husband doesn’t want kids?
she’s ******* crazy. i hate her mother. how the hell can they run the world with this **** happening and her mother can’t even control her daughter?
way to go Bristol…… but I feel sorry for her, her life is going to be hell from now on with all the negative publicity…
To # 1
“WHAT A TRASHY FAMILY
HOW IS SHE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTRY IF SHE CAN’T EVEN CONTROL HER DAUGHTER??”
The same way we expect Hillary to run the country, even if she couldn’t control HER OWN HUSBAND!!
sounds like Palin has done some great parenting…. do you think she and her conservative friends are as forgiving on inner city kids (read: poor and/or of color) who engage in underage drinking and teenage pregnancy ?
The Republicans would only be majorly up in arms if Bristol had an abortion, as they are pro-life advocates. And the fact she is getting married, somewhat changes the situation a little bit.
It’s not like she is a 14 year old girl getting pregnant.
And everyone talks **** on their myspace page. People are such hypocrites around here.
This girl doing underage drinking and getting pregnant is her responsibility. But as someone mentioned above, Palin preaches all this moral behavious stuff. She points fingers at other when she should be looking at the other 4 fingers point back at her house and her family. I don’t have issue with the underage drinking, but what kind of mother lets her daughter get pregnant at 17 in this day and age. Every good parent wants their kid to get a proper education and be mature and independent before they go about having a child. If she can’t give her children the kind of upbringing which will make them into mature adults how is she going to run a country. This is what i take issue with. She can’t run her own house properly how is she suppose to run the United States? She’s a bad mother and she won’t make a good VP either. McCain is SCREWED!
lol…just another stain on the republican party…go OBAMA!!
What a moron. 100 procent trailer traish!
I thought that only in my country the level of politics had sunk so low as to attack the life of the candidate’s children… wait at least here the attacks have been to ADULT offspring, not teens and babies
Gee - a teenager drinking - a pregnant teenager - how unusual in the good old USA! Like this hasn’t happened before and will continue to happen. I agree with Tina up above - people are such hypocrites - you tell me nobody on here had a drink or had sex before the age of 18!
LEAVE BRISTOL OUT OF ELECTION!
Jared, what brilliant investigative reporting……. When did you become
a political site? Everyone should just keep their judgmental opinions
and comments to themselves and VOTE for the candidate of their choice. All of this ugly trash-talking isn’t doing anyone any good. Let
us hope that all voters research the candidates and their platforms and not make their decisions based on ANYTHING they read in the media.
Why shouldn’t we question any parent taking on a campaign for the 2nd highest office in the land when her family is in crisis?
This is just another rumor. You guys are going crazy.
I’m not saying this kid doesn’t drink but her appearance sure has changed a lot considering neither of those girls, to me, look like her. But maybe I’m confused about which daughter Bristol is.
Secondly, I do think McCain was smart in choosing a woman and smart in choosing this one. No one can control their child unless they lock them up in a room all day. It’s not a reflection on her as a mother. At some point you have to just hope what you taught them sticks. Kids make mistakes. She’s doing the right thing by stepping up to the plate and dealing with it.
I don’t see how she’s a bad vp choice. Don’t even start on lack of experience. It’s ironic the Obama campaign brings up lack of experience when he’s the one with the issue of lack of experience himself.
Do you not think Biden was a strategic pick just like Palin? It’s politics. McCain needed a fresh face with him otherwise he doesn’t stand a chance. If he would have picked Romney or another man it would have just been the same old ticket. But he tried to mix it up which I like.
If this election was based solely on political achievements and policies, and by policies I mean an actual plan of action not just Obama promising to do things without any form of solution, McCain/Palin would be a landslide victory. But the media is throwing up all these smoke screens to distract from the issues and its a shame if anyone buys into it. Hopefully America is educated enough to see past it on both sides!
RIGHT ON NUMBER # 18….. The news this morning though, HAS claimed that the father of this baby Levi whatever, is a foulmouthed racist. ( according to HIS friends only ). They claimed he was ” arrogant”, and would be the ” worse possible husband and daddy”, per the news reporter. OF COURSE, his friends COULD be jealous that HE is in the news now, and they are NOT. There are TWO sides to this… I also read that private investigator’s were trying to find out the truth about the first baby ” TRIG “. HER friends said they never remember her having MONO, and she was gone for several months. AND what about Sarah’s own staff not even knowing she was pregnant? They interviewed her neighbors, and they did not know either. That is weird.. They saw her in normal pants and normal dresses with belts, but she NEVER had a belly… WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ALL OF THIS NUMBER # 18 ????? others???
Jared, you’ve changed the photo. What happened to the photo of Bristol hold a mug of beer or something with a girlfriend?
All you McCain/Palin supporters, get ready to join long lines to get a loaf of bread..because that is where we are heading if they win. We are already suffering because of these stupid republicans…God help us!!
when a woman gets into a higher position they seem to dig for dirt faster - this site used to be nice - if you had photos of all youngsters that are born into most families at one time or another you would see them with a drink or bottle in their hand before they reach 21 - and the kids that can have a sip of something before that age don’t all end up alcoholics or drunks - get over it
#33…unfortunately, the reason she is being scrutinized is because she preaches something that is not working in her own family…such as abstinence and dedication to the word of the bible e.g. no sex before marriage, obviously she can’t make it work in her own family but Sarah Palin wants to tell Americans how to live their lives!
me again!!!! I meant to say, Bristol having Mono, NOT Sarah …. Bristol left school for several months according to her mother.. Then came back a little thinner according to her friends.. ( Bristol’s )….. Sarah’s friends say she ALWAYS wore her same normal clothes everyday… You would think that if SARAH was pregnant, she would be happy and brag about it to her closet friends and supporters… BUT, they had no idea.. Until she claimed her water broke AFTER taking a phone call from Bristol according to a worker… They were shocked.. ODD !!! ISN’T this the way you guys heard all of this story also ????
Shame on Sarah Palin for accepting this VP nod, when she knew her daughter was pregnant and would be scrutinized because of her own belief. She is a selfish woman who ONLY thought about her career!! Shame on her!
I dont think John McCain really researched enough about Sara Palins experience or her family life.
He only chose her because she is a woman! and tryning to get hillary supporters votes.
If only he chose a woman with experience. she is NOT ready to be VP. I would not want her running a country as big and important as america.
she has too much baggage. Can she really focus on helping lead a country with McCain when there is so much happening with her family?
Wasnt there another republican woman that McCain could have chosen who was more qualified. i think its a very poor choice. and considering the fact that McCain has been attacking Obama about his experience and age, BUT he chose Sarah Palin who has even LESS experience and is younger than Obama. it makes McCain look foolish.
It is not 1950. Bristol does not need to be hidden away because of her “situation”. I am happy she has parents who are supporting her. I don’t judge her for keeping her baby, nor would I judge her if she had an abortion. It’s not my choice, it’s hers. As far as her drinking……….she’s not the only teenager to have ever been doing that. Just because her mother is who she is does not mean that Bristol is not like a lot of other teenagers………..and no matter how great your parents are, teenagers will still test their limits and do things they shouldn’t. I don’t feel it’s a reflection on Sarah Palin.
And Caring - you are an idiot. Why don’t you read up on John McCain (and not just on far left sites) and then you can maybe speak a valid opinion.
I’d rather have a mother of a pregnant teenager in the Oval Office than someone who gets spiritual advice from a radical, racisit “preacher”!
To the idiots attacking the adult for the misadventures of their teenage child, you must not have kids. Many teenagers do many stupid things. Not because their parents are bad parents or bad people. Teenagers were born to do stupid things, learn by their mistakes, grow up and be President(ala Bill Clinton …draft dodger, pot smoker…oh bad example…he still hasn’t grown up as he chases tail around the globe)………How Palin and her family handle their family crisis and support their daughter should how she should be judged not by the mistake of a 17 year old. If a 17 year old wants to have sex I dare say no parent unless you are able to lock them up can stop it. I admire the Palin’s for their family choices and commend their ability the weather adversity. That is a test of leadership.
Why are you posting this crap, Jared? This girl is not a celebrity, she is not Jamie Lynn Spears. Leave her the f*ck alone.
Guess what, it’s not a matter of “controlling” your teenage children. People are born with free will and are going to make choices and mistakes regardless of what their parents believe or teach them. It’s called being human, people.
[Gasp] She had alcohol before she was 21? Break out the firing squad - I’m sure that everyone posting on here waited until 12:01 a.m. the day of their 21st birthdays before they had a drink. BFD.
Any of you claiming that any of this is hypocritical of being a Christian obviously has NO grasp on what Christianity is all about. Get over yourselves.
Trash…………Is there really anything else to say? Have a nice day.
isn’t Biden’s son in alot of trouble….up for indictment for something?
will find out the details.
it’s disgusting to bring the children into this, but hey, fight fire with fire.
Osama started this, so let’s hear about his running mate’s son.
Uh, why is this something on this website? Leave this BS to the news. We’re here to see celebs humiliate themselves, not some unknown 17 year old!
Victoria (and others) - you sound like a moron. Stop posting, please? Do you really think for a moment that John McCain pulled her name out of a hat with no looking into her family, her background, her experience? Seriously, use your brain. I can guarantee you that his choosing his VP running mate is as thorough, if not more, than the screening process they use for CIA or FBI agents. Everything I’ve read about her from relatively neutral news sites (aka, NOT liberal bloggers) has been pretty positive. She is apparently a good leader, intelligent, strong minded.
Whoever it was above who said she wasn’t equipped to run the country because of her family should be ashamed - I certainly hope you aren’t a woman. All of these politicians have families, what makes her any different? A ******?
Sarah Palin doesn’t care much for family values, she is an opportunist. look how she was giving a speech to oil fat cats while her amniotic fluids were dripping out. Then she flies to Seattle, then Anchorage, then drives 45 minutes to the hospital. IRRESPONSIBLE!!! Her daughter is fine, just trailer trash, but Sarah is NOT FIT TO BE VP let alone Governor!! Anti-bears, anti-sex-education, anti-environment, just a female version of Mr Bush. McSame, Sarah Bushlin!! Same old same old
pppp @ 09/02/2008 at 11:00 am
The problem with many ‘right to lifers’ is that not only are they anti-abortion they also dislike supporting anything to do with contraception and spout off unrealistic nonsense like abstinence as a cure-all for anything to do with sex and the resulting complications attributed to it.
victoria- Its to early to really have a take on all this since the news just broke out but, as with the media-will we ever really know the whole truth? Time will tell all eventually. In my opinion the child is not running for office and she should be left alone. As a mom Sarah had to have been upset to find that her child is pregnant but all that is of a personal matter. I will concentrate on the mom and her political experience in all this as I will concentrate on all who are running for office.
Not a McCain/Palin supported but that doesn’t mean I agree with what’s turning into a witch hunt aimed at Palin’s kids. What teen hasn’t tippled? Who here knows not one teen who’s been pregnant? Stop acting like the girl invented it! The drinking? I remember my first beer to this day and it damn sure wasn’t AFTER I was legally cool to indulge.
Bristol is not McCain’s running mate her mother is and it’s pretty disgusting of any of you to use the girl as some empty political arguing point. It doesn’t matter what or who Levi is either for the same reasons and there’s nothing that can justify anyone standing in judgement over either of these kids just because you don’t like her mom.
Damn some of you on both sides of the isle just make me sick to my gut at how low blow and evil you can be when you can hide behide a blog to do it. Bunch of Conservative & Liberal hypocritical cowards.

Not the kind of family i want running the country….
THAT ORIGINAL PICTURE IS NOT BRISTOL PALIN. SOMEBODY IS FEEDING THE BLOGS ALL THESE THINGS, AND BLOGS LIKE JARED AND PEREZ POST THEM WITHOUT BOTHERING TO CHECK IF THE PICTURE IS INDEED BRISTOL PALIN’S.
I’M SURE OBAMA’S CAMP KNOWS WHERE ALL THIS IS COMING FROM. THE SAME LEFTWING NUTJOBS WHO CLAIMED THAT THE BABY WITH DOWNS WASN’T SARAH PALIN’S.
Biden’s sons, Beau and Hunter and Biden’s brother James have all been involved in SHADY , illegal deals with D.C. Law firms, now under investigation.
So, check this out and their very strange names before you all attack Bristol. These guys committed CRIMES, not Bristol or her Mom.

Wow! And I bet you typed that with a straight face. I guess hypocrisy isn’t the first and foremost failing of Republicans, DENIAL is.
He sounds like a real winner. I was happy to see a woman chosen, but now I’m seriously having my doubts that she was the right choice at all. I’m probably not voting at all in this election.
http://celebritytoday.today.com
To WOW: How Palin help Old McCain to run the country/world if she tell some thing and do diferent. It is like Eliot Spitzer tried to return power. Or produce US Quarter with Cuban quarter-mold. Shame dirty politician.
I can’t believe people are trashing Sarah Palin and her family with such Glee. If you didn’t know she was a Republican (let alone a candidate) none of this would raise an eyebrow.
It really bothers me that the people who are gung ho to elect Obama to office go on about how they want change.
Is this the change? Below the belt attacks on kids? Crucifying anyone who tries to live by a moral standard and isn’t perfect?
If this weekend’s trashing festival on Sarah Palin is the change the Democrats are bringing, nothing about the party has changed.
Leave Barack out of this he is not the conservative whose beliefs are not being upheld in her OWN household!! Palin needs to get her own home in order before she tries to run the country I love and live in!!!!!!!
jOSH
The family wouldn’t be running the country. Either Obama/Biden will or McCain/Palin will .
Don’t open up a subject you’re not prepared to back up because we could take not even a hard look at the Reagan’s, Clinton’s, Kennedy’s, Bush’s, Roosevelts, Jeffersons (”don’t get me started on the Jeffersons”) various scandals and still not scratch the surface.

If you’re not voting, your opinion doesn’t matter. Don’t waste your time here. Go find a celebrity thread.
Palin was so proud to tell us last week that her son was going to Iraq but failed to tell us how proud she was to becoming a grandmother in a few months…what a HYPOCRITE!!!
They can’t find much on Sarah so they are going after her daughter, real nice!
Sorry people, but you cannot be with your teenage children round the clock. All you can do is preach what you believe in and hope that they listen. I know a lot of good parents who had children who have become pregnant at a young age, it has nothing to do with the parents. As for the underage drinking, well…….I think most of us are all guilty of that, big deal, move on and find something on Sarah and leave her children alone.
THE PICTURE THAT JARED POSTED OF THE GIRL HOLDING ALCOHOL IS NOT BRISTOL. IT’S THE SISTER OF HER BOYFRIEND.
DO YOU THINK JARED WILL APOLOGIZE FOR THIS MISTAKE? OF COURSE NOT. THE SAME WAY HE WON’T APOLOGIZE FOR HIS OTHER POST CLAIMING THAT SARAH PALIN’S KID WITH DOWNS ISN’T REALLY HERS.
JARED MANAGED TO SMEAR SARAH PALIN AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS. WHO CARES ABOUT THE TRUTH.
I don’t think this crap is relevant. Can we please all get back to the political issues and leave this Jerry Springer bullshit alone?
The Repugs don’t believe in Democracy, they believe in Hypocrisy and Idiocracy.
A pregnant teen **** and a ****** baby, how precious.
The biggest concern about the Old McDonald- did he researched the VP search? How many days Palin run the New York City- not the United State (in case MCCain took Arial Sharon’s symptom) in case of emergency. He should pick Romney as VP.
I pity on old aged guy.
Democrats are the lowest life. I was a independent. I was going to not vote for this election. Now I will vote for McCain/Palin because Democrats try to bring Palin down by attacking her family and children. This is really low. Obama’s mother got pregnant at age of 18. What is a big deal of teen pregnancy. McCain/Palin 2008.

First, why are you screaming? Second, if you think it’s an impossiblity that stories aren’t being planted by Republican operatives posing as Dem’s you are naive not only about politics, but life.
It’s your right to remain naive of course and from what you’ve screamed, I think there are those who feel their work succeeded because you’ve automatically decided who the culprits are and there’s nothingmore to question about it and that’s sad.
Won’t dare suggest that two can’t play that game and there are those who’d like you (apparently for you it’s a go) and me to believe Obama waved the go flag just like those who’d like you and I to think the same of McCain, but the difference between you and I is I know better. I know neither men would or have sanctioned any of it.
Get educated (and stop screaming…..you can be heard in lowercase just as loudly as you can in upper)
jpf
I’m totally confused.
If he (Levi) doesn’t want kids, to get married, or have any responsibility, then why is he marrying Bristol?!
unless she’s marrying someone else?!
I don’t get it.
Nice to see that the Dems have taken a page out of the Karl Rove Playbook of Sleazy Character Assassination.
Dems are the party of “change” alright.
It’s like the Spears family all over again. LMFAO
Who cares?? Every teenage kid does that. I have amazing parents,and I still managed to sneak stuff..every kid does that,out grows it..etc..its all a part of life.
TMZ posted these same pictures and now they’ve taken them down because it’s obviously not Bristol. Perez will be taking these same pictures down in a while too.
So, Jared, what about an article about Biden’s sons and brother !!!!
It’s only fair now that you tried to **** all over Bristol.
JARED STOP POSTING THIS LEFTIST BULLSH-IT! , WE ALL GET IT , YOUR PROBABLY VOTING FOR OBAMA! , BUT GUESS WHAT? OBAMA HAS A SH*TLOAD MORE WRONG WITH HIM AND HIS LIES , AND IS WAY LESS QUALIFIED THAN PALIN! DO YOUR RESEARCH!! AND DO ME A FAVOR JARED AND STICK TO CELEBRITY NEWS ….(WHAT YOUR GOOD AT)….NOT POSTING STORIES THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBILITY! OR FACTS TO BACK IT UP…..I’M SORRY JARED ….BUT YOUR LOSING A LOT OF READERS ON THIS SITE BECAUSE OF YOU POSTING THIS KINDA STUFF….IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER(OR LACK THEREOF) IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MUCH LIES YOU POST ABOUT HER ….SHE’S STILLL WAAAAAAAY MORE QUALIFIED THAN BARRACK ! (ONCE AGAIN DO THE RESEARCH!) ;)
MCCAIN PALIN 08!!!!!!!!!!
(THE EXPERIENCE WE NEED)
you can’t go around bible thumping and them have your 17 year old unmarried daughter be pregnant. i dont care what sarah and her daughter do in their lives as long as it doesn’t affect me and yes they are a normal average american family, but normal people arent supposed to be the leaders of countries. i can admit that i have had a few drinks while i was underage but i’m not running as the back up president. i’m also not preaching abstinence. i am happy that her daughter is pregnant and that she fired that guy who wouldn’t fire her sisters ex boyfriend, maybe the public will actually pay attention to all the hypocrisy and bullshit that republicans promote.
vote obama, the one with the progressive voting record of prosperity and equality.
# 67 low life @ 09/02/2008 at 12:11 pm
Democrats are the lowest life. I was a independent. I was going to not vote for this election. Now I will vote for McCain/Palin because Democrats try to bring Palin down by attacking her family and children. This is really low. Obama’s mother got pregnant at age of 18. What is a big deal of teen pregnancy. McCain/Palin 2008.
—————–
I doubt you’ll respond like an adult because you sure don’t sound like one, but why have you chosen to lump everyone in a box because you’ve chosen a different route politically? What’s low is your need to belittle a group of people based on the assumption they’re of one mindset. It’s low to interject Obama’s mother into the conversation in a *** for tat manner because you’re a supporter of his opponent.
This is why I’m independent; I vote American because it frees me up to not get caught up in pointing the total blame in one direction like you just did. I’m independent because the two party system is divisive (you’re a prime example of tht) and especially of late, the Republican far right/The Democrate far left………..did you get that? Did you notice I didn’t broadstroke it? I didn’t slap a coat of paint on the total Republican party anymore than I would the Democrate party because I’m grownup enough to know that apart from the overthetoppers on each side, the main levelheaded base isn’t about groupthink.
jpf
the nice thing for her “a family values focused republican” is to step down and take care of her four month old special needs baby and the pregnant daughter. These children need her right now. Even a hard core feminist would make the choice now to step back, take care of the loved ones and then in a year or two bounce back into her career. Palin has two more girls at home and needs to see that they get educated on abstinence as well as contraceptives
.
#55 I really didn’t understand your question.
But Paltin saying one thing and her daughter doing something else are two totally different arenas they are two different people going in two different directions in life.
Yes they are related but they do have they own lives to live.
…They can’t blame this on the dems. If Mccain dies, Im not sure I want a lady who cant multi task watching her kids and control a country. I mean im all for a strong woman in the white house taking care of her family and working hard. But she can’t control her own daughter… Maybe shes not the right choice for VP. Maybe after she gets her stuff together…And her hiding it is no better. If it wasnt for the rumors she would have never came out with this information….shady if you ask me.
1. TRIG IS SARAH”S BABY. She didn’t want it to wound her political success, so she didn’t tell anyone. She’s one of the lucky women who’s pregnancies don’t show. BTW, she wasn’t in labor when she took the 8 hour plane ride, she was just leaking. (My mom was leaking for two days before she gave birth to my little sister.) Sarah had called the doctor and they told her to come home and they’d check it out. SHE WASN’T IN LABOR! Once she got to the hospital, they INDUCED LABOR.
The people who contrived that rumor and support it are both vicious and cruel.
It couldn’t have been Bristol’s because she is 5 months pregnant, while Trig is only 4 months old. Bristol would have had to become pregnant while she was already seven months pregnant, which isn’t possible.
2. People need to stop putting Bristol in the news. Barack Obama said himself :
“Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits,” Obama said, “and people’s children are especially off limits.
“This shouldn’t be part of our politics,” he continued, “It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.
“And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories,” he said. “You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and, you know, teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off limits.”
BACK OFF! Bristol Palin is a teenager, Sarah Palin is a responsible politician.
This is completely inappropriate. Why would you list a story like this. This is a private matter for this family. SHAME ON YOU.
BTW, linking the pics to her drinking is still bad.
Show some class.
Leave the kid alone. I’m for Obama, and I believe that McCain’s choice of Palin was ridiculous, but not because of what her duaghter did or did not do. It will hard enough for a 17 year old to raise a baby without cameras in her face. I do believe that the evangelicals who now are using the fact that young Ms. Palin decided to have the baby is support for their “pro-life” agenda are equally if not more guilty of using a challenging personal and family situation for political purposes.
But how does someone who belonged to a party that wanted Alaskae to secede from the US deserve to be vice-president? For God’s sake, she would be a hearbeat away from the presidency, with the candidate a 72 year old cancer survivor. Unfortunately, with his VP pick, John McCain did not put America first.
The problem is not really that Palin’s family sounds completely hypocritical as it relates to moral values, the problem is that MC CAIN SHOWED ONE MORE TIME HIS LACK OF JUGEMENT when choosing Palin as VP. If Mc Cain died during his presidency, I wouldn’t trust her as our president.
I mean, didn’t he do his research? Embarassing!
Also, she has not given interviews since she has been nominated for VP. That’s weird. Are they afraid to let her do it???
On top of that, I am still NOT CONVINCED THAT TRIG WAS NOT BRISTOL BABY and that they are lying about Bristol pregnancy. She might be 3 or 4 months pregnant for what we know…
IT SUCKS TO BE A REPUBLICAN RIGHT NOW : I hope she withdraws and that they choose a new VP because as a republican I am really embarassed by the VP choice.
It might make me reconsider Mc Cain as our president if he chose a new VP. WHAT A MESS !!!
Obama’s mother gave birth to him at the age of 18 so Obamabots, STFU!!!! You are all drowning on Kool-aids already.

“I thought that only in my country the level of politics had sunk so low as to attack the life of the candidate’s children… wait at least here the attacks have been to ADULT offspring, not teens and babies”
Remember McCain said:
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”
– Sen. John McCain, speaking to a Republican dinner, June 1998.
That was a prepared remark at a speaking appearance at a Republican dinner.
So Jared where’s the article on Osama’s running mate?
What about the Biden family?
She’s seventeen! Obama was drinking and doing drugs at the same age, Al Gore’s son was picked up for drunk driving on the eve of the Democratic convention, Chelsea was off limits. Come on she’s a teenager. Give her a break!
I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SARAH PALIN’S FIRST PRESS CONFERANCE THE MSM SHOULD NOT HOLD BACK AND ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS JUST LIKE WHAT WAS DONE TO MRS. OBAMA AND BARACK THIS ISSUE IS VERY INPORTANT THRU OUT THE NATION NOW I DON’T HOW THEY DO THINGS IN ALASKA BUT THE REST OF THIS COUNTRY IS HURTING FROM TEEN PRENGANCY AS VICE PRESIDENT MS. PALIN SHOULD HAVE MORE HEART AND DEEP FEELINGS AB OUT THIS ON ACCOUNT OF HER DAUGHTER’S SITUATION
I can see it now.. round two of the Bush twins.. more secret service supervised underage drinking bouts with fake ID’s and raised skirts as they throw up in a ditch off the side of the road.
Love the republican children.
I finally get it. You guys WANT to *****, rant, point fingers and remain delousional, obtuse, silly, dumb and continue the attacks at each other no matter how ridiculous and fanatical both sides trying to represent on JJ’s sound!
I’m slow but I get there and now I’m gone because it’s just serious brain cell killing up in here like mad. God, I hope most of you far left or far right DON’T vote because you’re some scary folk and a ballot is not a toy.
jpf
Poor girl’s gona be more famous than her mom in the end!!!

Why is it every time a Republican screws up Bill Clinton gets dragged into it?
Grrrrrrrrrr
amazing comments ..I see people here and all over still live in a dream world of roses…everyone has problems..small/large..and how you deal with life with those problems defines you …. get over people…like to see how others would react if they had these problems…and they would be right in there own mind as well…GET IT..dought it…
The Democratic black ops need to stop this or this might backfire on Obama.
#93 Because if Sarah isn’t qualified to be in office because she can’t control her family, then why was Hillary so qualified when she couldn’t control hers?
Family should be OFF LIMITS unless they are going to have a major say in what will be going on in the office.
#84 I agree
Also I dont get how they are all “This is a private family matter”… Most of the her views are private matters, abortion, to me that a private choice, she wants to control a woman right to choose, but when it comes to her family she wants everyone to mind thier business.
Really i dont know wtf is up with Mccain. if you ask me, and no one did but im going to say it anyways. This girl being preggers is diggin into a deeper problem. Mccain not being all there, doing his research and caring about this country as a whole by not making a good choice, there are WAY BETTER choices. and Palin not being honest. like someone said before, she was proud of her son going to Iraq to fight, If your going to talk about one kid why not talk about the unwed teenage mother too… If anything i feel sorry for birsotal whatever her name is. Mommy is hiding you for her own history making moves…
also I dont get why everyone is saying Palin is storng and brave for standing behind her daughter and bringing this public, she was FORCED to. Nothing strong or brave about that.
yea most of this im sure doesnt make sense..
Leave this family alone. Obviously, the people making these comments do not have children.
But I am not presumptuous enough to say “Look at me” as an example.. see how my policies and ideals are right and effective and what they will do for you..
Someone who preaches family values. Abstinence Only, no sex ed, no birth control, no choice if you are raped (Palin said..”not even if my daughter was raped”)or a victim of incest.
Is it nice that she is standing by her daughter..yes. Do you think her daughter actually had a choice when she told her mom she was pregnant? Ah..no. I am sure Palin made the best decision for her political career and made it quite clear that she was keeping the baby and getting married or as governor she would make the Daddy’s life and his families very difficult.
Levi is a *******. But I am sure he will clean up well, sulk in a corner somewhere, and count the minutes until he can bail to get drunk and screw his sisters friends behind Bristol’s back. Welcome to an unwanted pregnancy and shotgun wedding Bristol. Does your town even have a Target so you can sign up simultaneously for ClubWed and ClubBaby???
Congratulations on life’s hard lessons under the death grip of a conservative mother.
Anyone that runs for public office or becomes a celebrity (movie star or sports) KNOWINGLY places their private lives in jeopardy. This is a chance that these people take for fame and fortune, therefore they shouldn’t “cry” when the skeleton’s come out of the closet. Waa Waa Waa!
people are free to bash Palin and her family. she will win thanks to these persons.
This women can even take care of her family, and she expects to be able to help run this country? I think that she should quit. Is true that she can control her daughter all the time but as a parent you should be able to not let your under age kid drink and educate her about safe sex. This women can not even control her daughter, I don’t trust her.
I guess I have to ask the question–what kind of parent (father or mother) would run for the VP or Presidential office when their teenage daughter was pregnant - knowing that the press/bloggers/posters would crucify that child.
Secondly, that person is running on a very conservative/family values platform. The Republicans have been among the first to criticize out-of-wedlock pregnancies in others.
Thirdly, the Palins sounded “happy” (If that is the word) that Bristol and whats his name are getting married. Holy Moly. I wouldn’t sound happy if my daughter was marrying a redneck M-F who didn’t want kids and seems as tho he is extremely immature. What kind of marriage will that be? What kind of home for that child?
I’m not criticizing the child for being pregnant, just the hypocrisy of Sarah Palin in touting family values, but she puts her child out there to be crucified on blogs, in the news media and my posters. I criticize Palin for preaching abstinence, for disallowing sex ed in schools, for saying abortion is never allowed even in cases of rape.
And I’ll be very surprised if she makes it thru the convention without resigning. This Troopergate thing is not going to go away. And I do not believe McCain vetted her very closely. Or else he would have most likely not chosen her with all of this hanging over her. Or he is as dumb as a plank.
I am so upset and angry because these same right wing chicken hawks was so down on Little Jamie Spears for getting pregnant and called her mother an unfit mother and how she was responsible for the child being so imoral. The same rightwingers blamed Hollywood for jamie Spears morality and wanted Disneyland to get rid of her because she was influencing their kids. Now these same people are bitching because the media is asking questions about their Vice Presidential nominees’s back just like the do everybody else. They made Britney and Jamie out to be such low life but the spears came together and they are much stronger. Britney and Jamie mother were not inches away from being President of the United States and not a person thats telling the world whats right or wrong.
Since he’s dragged the Palin daughter through themud, I’m looking forward to Jared posting reports of bad behavior from Joe Biden’s son the lobbyist.
Jared, as we all know, is an equal opportunity blog…. not.
———–Who the hell cares what she did a 100 years ago?—————-
————Just take a look at Bush and all of his faults……
what does this have to do with the election?
that’s right. absolutely NOTHING.
just leave her out of it.
it’s her mom, not her, running for office.
Is there no bottom to the sewer of left wing politics? To his credit, even Obama has denounced this tripe as totally out of bounds (not to mention largely composed of lies). Do you Democrat pigs want scandal? Joe Biden’s son is an illegal hedge-fund trader (odd..no blogs on that) , Al Gore’s kid is a felon/drunk driver (no blogs on that) , Barack Obama’s own brother subsists on a dollar a month in Kenya (no blogs on that) , Jimmy (the “alleged holocaust”) Carter and Democrap Senator Robert Byrd are klansmen (no blogs on that); then we can visit the Kennedys. You political zealots conveniently forget that the issues with Bristol Palin are common issues for parents who are frequently away from home due to career conflicts. I am a retired prosecutor, and I cannot tell you how many kids I saw who were the children of politicians, judges, doctors, lawyers and other professional parents who were frequently “not there”. Perhaps we should please you Democrats by passing laws forbidding women from having active careers or hold public office? Or maybe, because kids misbehave, we ought to just legalize everything and forget about having any aspirational moral code at all?
The last time I checked, her daughter wasn’t running for office, “I HATE KOOLAID”.
I laughed out loud when I read this submitted by “Amanda” (I actually laughed out loud reading her entire ridiculous post, but most of all at this):
“vote obama, the one with the progressive voting record of prosperity and equality.”
Huh? What voting record? You can’t possibly be serious.
why these jj,perez and tmz only digs republican dirts most especially the ms. sarah palin?…….why not be fair and expose all the dirts from all candidates?……how about obama?…..and his 20 yrs. relationship w/ the reverend wright?……how about joe biden?…….yes, include mccain…..but be fair!….i noticed the blog sites like these are leaning to obama. i hv no problem w/ tht, but if u want to dig something u better u better both sides. right now , i still don’t get obama. i was not contented at all of his explanations about his once very deep relationship to mr. right tht lasted 20 decades and is still not aware of his pastor’s views. obama is a very good,passionate,promising and intelligent speaker. but i hv a lot of skeptiscism over his vast promises and as to how he can deliver it. he seem like a well- seasoned politician. mccain on the other hand is not a great speaker compared and neither party , offered a detailed solution on how to tackle the issue about the most important issue. both candiadtes are focused on how to outwin each other’s party. while obama is very popular on a celebrity world ,mccain is still a consideration for some conservatie folks. though i would say, theres lot of voters , who are still trying to be independent. i sure would love to hv a black american president ,though i am not sure about obama.
As a 17-year old female that goes to a public high school…I just wanted to say that no, not EVERY female teenager in America goes around getting pregnant and posting pictures of themselves drinking. It’s not hard to put some morals into your kids, and clearly Palin needs to reevaluate her parenting abilities before she tries to run a country.
Lyn, Britney and Jamie Lynn chose the public life of being a celebrity. This girl, who three days ago none of us had ever heard of, did not. She is NOT inches away from BEING the president of the United States (what?!?!?) any more than Chelsea Clinton or Barbara or Jenna Bush were. There is a big difference.
Did you see the father Levi’s myspace page before he made it private? Pictures of him in hockey gear, hugging on your girls while flipping off the camera and pictures of him and with Palin or his sister toting multiple guns (handguns to shotguns) and the following quotes..
On his MySpace page, Johnston boasts, “I’m a f - - -in’ redneck” who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.
“But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in’ chillin’ I guess.”
“Ya f - - - with me I’ll kick [your] ass,” he added. “I don’t want kids”
Nice. Shotgun marriage much? Good luck with this guy Bristol.. he is a winner!!
Gawker has more.
I must follow up with a response to “Lyn” and her idiot references to “right wing chicken hawks”. First, I know many liberals who object to what the “Hollywood lifestyle” does to dehumanize and exploit young performers (including Jamie spears). Every conservative I know does not condemn ms. Spears but, rather, condemn the Hollywood system that takes a minor and turns her into a dehumanized sex-pump. Obviously, Lyn, you lack the adult intelligence to distinguish between the concepts. Ms. Spears is not a role model, she is a victim. There is a huge difference. Of course, lack of intelligence is one of the hallmarks of liberalism, so what could we expect.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE????
as americans we ALL HAVE TO REALISE THAT OBAMA IS THE BEST CANDIDATE
HOW INSULTING OF JOHN MCCAIN TO FEEL HILARY SUPPORTERS AND WOMEN IN GENERAL WOULD BELIEVE ANY WOMAN IS GOOD ENOUGH….
SARAH PALIN HAS MAJOR LACK OF EXPERIENCE — HOW MUCH DOES SHE HAVE IN COMMON WITH THE REST OF THE POPULATION COMING FROM ALASKA .. HOW MUCH CAN SHE RELATE WITH INNER CITY KIDS, BLACKS, MEXICANS, IMMIGRANTS OR GAYS AND LESBIANS?? SERIOUSLY
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???????
YOU OBAMA BRAINWASHED ROBOTS, NEED TO REMEMBER BEFORE YOU TALK SH-IT ON HER FOR BEING PREGNANT AT 17….OBAMA JUST ADMITTED THE OTHER DAY THAT HIS MOTHER HAD HIM AT THE AGE OF 18! SOOOOO IT PROVES THAT THIS KINDA STUFF HAPPENS …YOU MOVE ON WITH LIFE …SOOOOOO REMEMBER BEFORE YOU COMPARE THEM TO THE SPEARS FAMILY…. LOOK AT OBAMAS FAMILY…..
HIS PASTOR AND “MENTOR” SAYS GOD DAMN AMERICA!…(UH CORRECTION ITS GOD BLESS AMERICA!)
OBAMAS WIFE SAYS “FOR THE FIRST TIME I AM PROUD OF AMERICA” ….(WHAT WANNABE FIRST LADY SAYS THAT TO AMERICAN PEOPLE?!)
OBAMA ONLY HAS 1-2 YRS OF EXPERIENCE ….COMPARED TO PALINS MANY YEARS !
OBAMA CHANGES HIS STORY, MORE THAN HE CHANGES HIS UNDERWEAR ….AND THAT’S NOT WHO I WANT MAKING DECISIONS FOR MY COUNTRY THAT I LOVE SOOOO MUCH!
Mccain/palin 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and saddest of all ,after reading poor levi didnt want to become a father the nagging doubt that he proposed so he could visit the lincoln bedroom
———-
As I said before, this is going to be a bumpy ride for Palin, her family, the father of the child and his family.
I don’t think some get the point. Most people aren’t bothered by a teenager getting pregnant or drinking per se, but when your MOTHER is running for VP on a platform of abstinence and family values, there is a higher expectation of her maintaining these values in her own family. Children make mistakes, but that won’t take away the belief of some that Palin is a hypocrite and a liar.
The other factor of this is, no matter how hard the Republicans try to down play this story and the one about Palin’s Ethic investigation, they are concerned and it is a distraction to their campaign. They do not need or want this distraction. As someone said on CNN this is why you choose someone like Biden who has been out there a long time and has been investigated top to bottom. To blame the Democrats as Republicans do with ALL the airing of their problems is silly. This is what news outlets and anyone who can blog does.. They search for things on both sides.
I don’t think the Republicans fully vetted Palin. Reports in the legitmate news is they are trying to find out additional information about the Ethics charge. They said they had fully vetted her to save face. How big a mistake is this? it’s huge. Those who are currently saying it doesn’t matter would be all of the family if she was a democrat. You can pretend to us you wouldn’t, but try not to kid yourselves.
This thing is going to become a bloody mess for the Republicans. Because believe me despite what they are saying publicly, privately they are saying “‘What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?.”
As for calling people hypocritical, I don’t think either party has a leg to stand on. Neither do some of the posters. Yeah, I’m talking about you who were downing Jamie Lynn Spears, but now says Palin kid is just being a teenager. They’re both just kids who weren’t taught how to make good decisions in their lives.
It’s no surprise, but it sure shows you what the republican party is all about, nothing but a bunch of hill-billy racists. Bush’s daughters were caught many times drinking underage, and now Palin. There is no-one left in the Republican party except for some Honkies.
cyn, it is NOT even bristol palin in the pictures, google them and check them out, not the same eyes nor face. It is sad that bloggers post lies about someone just for clicks.
And the girls in the pics still are shown holding bottles, but not actually drinking, who knows , they could be older.
WHOGIVESEGGS - the last I remember, Obama was raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. WTF is your point? He is also a Harvard educated man with minimal political experience and his main draw is rhetoric and articulate speeches. He and his wife bring in 6-7 figure incomes (um, not the norm the last I checked). What about that gives him the upperhand in relating to the average American any more than a working mother in Alaska?
As a woman, I’m a little insulted that Obama failed to even CONSIDER Hilary Clinton as his running mate; if he had, I truly believe that the election would be in the bag for him.
If they were the picture-perfect family, you would be calling them fake; bBecause they’re real, you are calling them trash - welcome to America, folks! Since Bristol would not be taking the office of Vice President, I don’t see where any of it matters.
And would somebody PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE show me a parent who has complete control over their teenagers? In this day and age, it’s really tough to blame the actions of any teen solely on the parents -unless, of course, they keep them isolated from anything to do with the real world. (But, then you would all be calling child welfare services!)
I won’t bother to pass along my political viewpoint to you all, but I will say that this lady is about as real as they come - warts and all, she is America.
All I can say is McCain must be really desperate if this is the best candidate he could select for VP.
He has proved that he is THE MAVERICK, but it appears to be a desperate move and not the best decision for his party or the country.
Pailin’s inexperience, some of her background (pregnant 17yo daughter; in favor of Alaska succession(sp) from the US; current investigation for influencing firing x-bil, questions about 5th prenancy), this is the buzz about McCain’s choice, just in the 2 days since the announcement.
I’m not surprised about the unfortunate under age drinking or shocked at an unplanned teen pregnancy.
What does shock me is for Sarah Palin to put her young under age, unwed daughter, the family, the baby daddy, his family, not to mention the unborn child, through this is not the best example of good parenting by Sarah Palin and her husband. Poor Bristol, poor baby.
Nor is it an example of good judgment by her or McCain.
Our country is in crisis, but we are distracted by this VP candidate.
WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!? Is it possible he thinks a teen pregenancy controversy is a good thing for the country with now?
We don’t have enough to consider for our country’s future without a debate involving a pregnant 17yo daughter of the VP to distract us?
so where’s the article about Biden’s sons ?
where’s the article about Osama’s mother giving birth to him at 18?
where’s the article about Osama’s wife discussing her shame for America?
Come on Jared, are you on their payroll just like cult tom cruise’s?
Thank you Dianne. Dear God, it’s sickening to read people ready to condemn people as if they know them personally and aren’t going on likely-exaggerated, 12th-hand information found on a web blog. Scary - these are the people who will be voting in November without real, non-gossip-related research on all the candidates.
And to reiterate a point, Christianity doesn’t demand that Christians live a perfect life. The basis for Christianity is to strive to make the right choices and to NOT condemn when you don’t; it’s the knowledge that we are all human.
I don’t know Sarah Palin personally - neither do any of you - but I do have a lot of respect for the fact that she IS standing by and not ashamed of her daughter and the situation they are all dealing with as a family. I don’t know anything about the boy who is going to be a father (I think we can all agree that a myspace page is not a great litmus test for who a person is in their actual life - but rather just a silly social networking tool), so I am not about to condemn him as a redneck or a jerk. People are SO quick to judge. It’s sad.
This IS relevant, and I’ll tell you why: the Republicans present themselves as the party of values. The actions of Bristol Palin speak to the values she was taught in the home by her parents- one of whom could be the leader of the free world should McCain choke on a pretzel.
Also, this is fair game because of the political climate that the right wing has created. Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, Sean Hannity, Joe Scarborough, Neal Boortz- what do you think they would say if this was one of Barack Obama’s daughters? Remember, Limbaugh was fond of referring to Chelsea Clinton as The White House Dog. So, we know that families are not off limits for the right wing. When you live by the sword, you also die by it.
Eat it, nut-jobs. Crucify her the way you would crucify a Democrat in the same situation.
marc christophe @ 09/02/2008 at 1:33 pm
lack of intelligence is one of the hallmarks of liberalism, so what could we expect.
===========================================
I hope you realize in making what you consider an intelligent statement you sunk down into the realm of idiocy by calling all liberals unintelligent.
Liberalism is a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal. Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment.
Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy, and a transparent system of government.
Seems to me those are the very things that our Founding Fathers fought for and most Americans hold dear.
As for morality and family values, I don’t think the Republicans have a lock on that. All toe tapping under the bathroom stall aside, there are good and bad on both sides .
We should stop making fun of these people and pray for them and ask that their sins be forgiven. We should then come to terms with the fact that John McCain is well past his prime and is acting strange and pray for him to. Then we should all go vote for Obama,
Do not judge the woman just because she has a daughter who is pregnant. Mistakes happen and overall, people make mistakes and just because you are a good parents doesn’t mean your kids will be perfect and obedient.
So, instead of judging her based on her daughter, start looking at the her background, especially the kind of education she has. Sarah Palin got her B.A degree. If the president dies or becomes too ill to lead our nation, she will be sworn in as the president of our great nation. Think about it, what does she know about the constitution? She doesn’t have the basic foundation obtained through Juris Doctorate. Think again America! Vote smart for the right person. I am voting for Barack Obama. You have your choice. But please vote for the benefit of our country and not for McCain who will take us to another war with another country while the middle class Americans can’t pay for healthcare and are working for minimum wage. What a shame!
I dont look down on Bristol Palin for bein with child like some are doing. Sure she was irresponsible by not using protection just like many many others are guilty of including her boyfriend. I dont condone teens having sex, but it happens as we all know no matter how much sex education a teen gets. Some teens take heed, some teens just dont use their head. Now i am more upset hearing Bristol and her boyfriend will get married. Not because they want to..or they would have did so months ago before any of this hit the news. Its to save face…not for Bristol and Levi, but for the republican party….for McCain/Palin ticket….thats the part of this story that is sad !
forget the fact that she can’t control her daughter - i mean, who can really control a 17 yr old anyway. the point is that as a parent - someone who is responsible for other human lives and for guidance - governor palin’s judgement is clouded by her religious beliefs. if she can’t be rational and realistic enough to say to her children:
“even though i think you should practice abstinence and our religion disagrees with contraception, this is what you need to know about safety and birth control anyway”
then she isn’t fit to be in charge of a town, or a state, let alone our entire country. if she wants to believe in creationism, that is her problem and her prerogative, but if she can’t find a happy medium between reality and her superstitions, then she is a dangerous choice.
The fact of the matter is that McCain only chose Palin to squash down the momentum of the Obama campaign. He chose Palin because she was younger than any of the other qualified Republican women, he chose her because she did have a housefull of children and felt the working mothers would relate to her, men would vote for her because she is good looking and finally he wanted to win over the disgruntled Hillary voters.
McCain has the intelligence of a rat and has turned our politcal process into a joke. They never had any intentions on telling anyone about Bristol’s situation (or possible coverup), why because they were hoping that the American voting public would just drink the water and not ask why it taste funny! They were hoping that in less than 65 days they would be voted in and when the skeletons came tumbling out of the closet it would be to late to do anything about it.
Dirty I tell you, just dirty and yet people are rallying behind them like blinded mice and not looking at the whole picture. If something happen to McCain and she is president do you not think they will lie & bury the truth from the American public or what if she is caught up in a family crisis & a political crisis at the same time and makes the wrong decision because she is to emotionally involved with what is going on at home. This whole McCain/Palin thing is a shame and republicans should be mad but they are going along with it in order not to show division in the party (because they taunted the Democrats all year for division because of Hillary).
I am not being hard on Bristol and I am not being hard on the parents either. I think, if the parents are so much pro-life beleivers, they should have helped their daughter with preventive alternatives before this had to surface. When you have a teenage daughter (s) anything like this could happen. Birth control methods are alternatives. If you and your daughter are close and have a good relationship your daughter would not embarass they parents especially if they know their mother is running for public office. Maybe Bristol is somewhat rebellious and seeking attention from her mother because of Sarah having too many irons in the fire and not enough time to spend with her daughter (s) as them being teenagers. To a degree, it’s okay to persue a career, but first allow your children of five growup and be responsible for their actions or be out of the home. Sarah should have taken on this career before children and stopped when she had them to raise. Teenagers are vulnerable and have peer pressures. If Bristol was close to her mother maybe she could have talked with her about preventive methods. I will say at this point is” good luck” to the family.
It’s becoming more and more clear that Palin will become a liability.
BRING BACK ROMNEY !
Before it’s to late !
Nobody is perfect, and neither are their children.
[http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-04/06/content_431767.htm]
why is she having the baby? shes seventeen and her familys answer to not providing her with birth control is to marry her off to some idiot?
wow im sure that will turn out great!
i dont think a teenage girl should be punished for the rest of her life for making the mistake of having sex without birth control .its a big world and its such a shame to see a young girl waste her life being a wife and mom so early..who knows what she couldve become…in a way this is a good thing ,maybe more parents will talk to their kids about sex and how just even one unprotected encounter can change your life forever…
I believe that Sarah Palin and her husband Todd have done the best they can to raise their children. As a parent of teenagers, you can only teach them values and pray God will do the rest. Just because her daughter made a bad decision doesn’t mean Republicans are hypocritical. We try to teach our children but in the end they will make their own decisions. We were all given free will. I think we should leave the kids alone.
so many posters are hypocrites. i thuoght liberals don’t care about this sh!t. this makes sarah palin more likeable because she’s like you and me. so normal. not like those political a-holes. stuck up and lawyers!
so many posters are hypocrites. i thuoght liberals don’t care about this sh!t. this makes sarah palin more likeable because she’s like you and me. so normal. not like those political a-holes. stuck up and lawyers!
guess what! I’m 17 i and all of my friends and I drink alcohol every weekend. We all have sex and we go to a private catholic high school with a mix of democratic and republican parents. Shocking I know. Regardless of your political party, teenagers shall be teenagers. My parents were always open with me and taught me about safe sex, which I think is very important. Maybe that’s where Sarah went wrong, that’s where she is a hypocrite. If shes not prochoice, she should be pro sex ed. Maybe she got what she deserved.
You can teach your kids about sex and they still make their own decisions in the end. Giving them condoms doesn’t mean they won’t still get pregant. Raising kids is a hard job for anyone and kids don’t come with an owner’s manuel. If Bristol wants to make something of her life she can. Being a wife and mother is one of the highest callings that I know and I am proud to be just that and also have a college degree.
Leave the girl alone. Barack was doing cocaine when he was just a few years older than her and now he is running for president. She will be fine.
so many hypocrites in this thread. i thought liberals dont give a rats ass about things like these. infact their motto is ‘they condone everything ****’. this makes sarah palin more likeable if you asked me. she’s so normal. she’s not like those lying lawyer politicians up in capitol hill! this woman is the real deal.
DIALECTIC - Please tell me that you did not just post an implication that people who came from unplanned pregnancies are/were a punishment to their parents. Unfortunately, Obama used the same poor choice of words not too long ago. Also, “its a big world and its such a shame to see a young girl waste her life being a wife and mom so early..who knows what she couldve become…” Could you be any more condescending? Being a mother is the end of your life? The end of all possibilities? Eff off.
I consider myself to be pro-choice, I probably would not have an abortion at this stage in my life, but I believe I and all women should have the option available to them. Abortion is not the automatic choice for all unplanned pregancies, even if the mother is a teenager. Did you ever consider the possibility that Bristol chose to keep this baby all on her own? Did any of you consider that?
What matters simply is that the Republicans are suggesting that the Democrats are over the top with reaction to this VP choice, their family standards….etc. But ask yourself, would the Republicans - even their ‘leaders’ be as decent as Obama’s campaign…and they would have tons and tons and tons to say on all their conservative tv, media outlets if it as a Democrat…let alone colour, race or any other issue.
McCain ultimately is the one to hold accountable. For his choice solely to get into the White house, and drag this beautiful country further and further into economic and international hell
By the way, is he the only POW left on earth?
The points are pretty simple. Palin is an ultra conservative anti-abortion (aka anti-choice) and anti sex-ed, her daughter got pregnant in high school (as of course many children do) and has no right to preach. Inability to supervise a teen in terms of sex and alcohol is hardly a rarity but for the party that always claims the moral high ground and cites Clinton’s infidelity as typical democrat, the teen pregnancies, senators propositioning in mens rooms, Keating 5, revealing spies, drunk driving (Palin, Bush, etc.), maximum fundraising in the name of lower income non-McCain supporters, etc.,etc. gets pretty old.
As to the bozo calling Barack Obama “Osama,” if you recognize yourself as racist fine, otherwise its time to accept it. To change a Black Christian’s name to an enemy Muslim’s name is pure racism. It is worse than equally false implications that McCain is a drunk penny-pinching Scot, or entering senile dementia, or a traitor who turned in his fellow Americans and prisoners to survive, or to state Palin must be an idiot as a former beauty contestant, or must hate her country since she was a member of the political party attempting to pull Alaska from the US, or likely to be unavailable to run the country should the oldest elected president in US history fail because she is likely to be pregnant again, or to state without proof that her latest child wasn’t hers.
Who ever thinks that you can control a 17 yr old teen 100 percent, doesn’t have kids. In the end Bristol and Levi decided to have sex not her Mom. Come on, was everybody an angel when they were 17, maybe you guys are way to old to remember when you were a teen.
Maria poster 142…..Sarah Palin is not like me…maybe like you, but for sure not like me. I would never push my teenage daughter into a loveless marriage…I would have more respect for Sarah Palin if she would of said….I will give my blessing and support to my daughter Bristo and boyfriend Levi if they truely love each other and they both want to get married. As we all read on Levi’s MySpace…he is no more ready than a man in the moon to get married. If Palin forces her daughter and this young boy to marry…just because she is in the running for VP…then that tell me …Palin is putting herself before the welfare of her daughters’
Ok humans …. many people have children at the age of 17 … her mother cant be with her all day everyday. When was she “supposed” 2 get pregnant … when u think its appropriate?? Is that your daughter ?? Is that you ? I think that she knew what she was doing … and whether or not they get married doesn’t really matter …. but its her decision to do it … and her mother “unfortunately for yalls sake” wasn’t available durring the preteen sexual escapade that went down for her to become pregnant. SO GET OFF HER BACK …. THATS LIKE YALL BEING MAD AT GAY PEOPLE GETTING MARRIED … WHO GIVES A FUNKY DUCK … ??? ITS NOT YOUR HOUSE, YOUR LIFE, OR YOUR CONCERN … UNLESS IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE WAY YOUR LIFE IS GOING 2 CHANGE … THINK.
“Did you have sex before you were married? Did you drink alcohol before you were of legal age?”
I didn’t have sex before getting married after getting my university degree at 25. I never drink, smoke ar do drugs. And I am an atheist.
shar - You are assuming that these two kids don’t love each other and are being pushed into marriage. How exactly do you know that? Because of some 17-year-old’s myspace page? Believe it or not, some kids actually decide to get married on their own, without a shotgun involved. People LOVE jumping to conclusions. I’m not saying that they aren’t being forced into it, just that I DON’T KNOW; that NONE of us knows for certain one way or another.
I would have voted McCain, only because he was less worse than Obama. Now, I will have to write in Ron Paul. This is nothing more than a showcase of McCain stupidity. Who the hell would put up a candidate with all this past if he had vetted her correctly? He didn’t, so he’s getting what he deserves. Then he had the nerve to LIE and say that he knew these things, so as not to appear stupid. Makes him look even more stupid in my eyes.
Dems, Reps, politicians … all trash, all liars … EVERY LAST ONE.
Ha! @ 09/02/2008 at 2:55 pm
I guess you won’t be answering the question then…
LOL kidding :)
Good for you Sara. Only difference between you and me is that you (I assume) are female … and I am an agnostic, not an atheist.
Just because a lot of kids are stupid enough to act this way does not mean there is anything “normal” about it.
Halo - which question is that?
I’m sorry, I’m floored that people actually believe that McCain would choose a vice presidential candidate without knowing any of these things about her. Be serious, of course he did. What, do you think he threw a dart at a dartboard with candidate names on it.
Ha post 154…..It doesnt take an Einstein…to figure out…this young man does not want to be married….heck…he said so himself…Hes not ready…he still has to many wild oats to sew….Question for you..Ha….if you had a daughter who was 5 months pg….you knew the father of the baby was still a kid himself, not ready to settle down because in so many words he told you he wasnt…would you force him to marry your daughter to save face no matter how unhappy either teen would be ?
These Palin fans reminds me of Jennifer fans, regardless of how many men she has slep with after divorceing Brad Pitt she is still so wonderful and still a lady and they call Jolie the Wh**e. Thats why this whole issue is a joke. If you like someone you will defend them to the end regardless of their mistakes and visa versa.
Ok several answers here
So they have the same issues as families in the rest of the country.
I dont care what the boyfriends problems are,
thats everyday family issues we all tend to deal with if you have children.
a teenager drinking - a pregnant teenager - any one with kids deals with it
Leave the teens out of it..
And how do you folks figure its a Republican party stain?
Bill Clinton had more stains of the wrong kind
For the Obama folks
And what are Obama’s big career accomplishments ?
I have yet to see a list of them
Lets go to real issues not celebrity,tabloid BS
shar - what 17-year-old boy do you know that has it posted on his myspace page that he is dying to get married and have kids. Give me a break, would you? Shar, again (because you didn’t get this the first time I typed it) you are ASSUMING that these two are being FORCED to get married. Believe it or not, there are kids out there who make this decision based on what THEY believe. It may be rare today, but it does happen.
“What’s galling is this: When the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, minority teenage mother growing up in some (presumably Democratic) urban area, that pregnancy becomes fodder for lectures from conservatives about bad parenting, the perils of welfare spending and so on. But when the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, white teenager from some small town in a Republican state, that pregnancy is…a celebration of the wonders of God’s magnificence–and choosing life!”
sad
Ha…poster 162
I understand exactly…what you are saying…yes sometimes…it does happen that way, but I truely believe thats not the case here. The young man has had 5 months to change his views on his MySpace…he hasnt……and now his MySpace is no longer…why do you think that is?…Would it have anything to do with McCain/Palin damage control ?
Dosen’t the fact that he is 18 and she 17 make this a case of statutory rape?
It sounds as though this girl had back-to-back pregnancies and maybe a wise and unrelenting reporter will not sweep the story of Sarah Palin’s barely-looking pregnant announcement at seven months under the rug. Something sounds fishy about the supposed amniotic fluid leak and taking a whole day to travel back to Alaska while at high-risk for miscarriage! John McCain sent his mafia to Alaska to squelch all access to information regarding his chosen “gun ma sidekick”….this is not time for the media to sweep anything under the carpet regarding McCain and Palin
When this conservative or fundamentalist Christian chose to narcissistically drag her children out on the stage last Friday, she established the parameters for personal access into their lives.
The Republican Party has turned into a bunch of idiotic zealots, and John McCain is now the leader(?) of that group. I didn’t think anyone could be worse than Bush, however I suggest that John McCain has proven himself to be senile and psychologically disturbed in recent weeks and can’t wait to perpetuate more wars on behalf of The Republican oil-grabbers.
The Republicans ripped Hillary Clinton, President Clinton, and Barack Obama apart during the Primaries though The Democrats are not to mention this female candidate.
Boycott all Fox News programs today and throughout Election Day - November 4!
#97 @12:52pm
You are so stupid to think Hillary can control a man and her husband who is older that her, this man is grown and he controled himself. This is a child living under her mom’s roof and we are responsible for our children until they leaves home. I doubt if this child is old enough to get a job. Why make all other mothers responsible and say mrs Palin is not responsible for what her child does. At least Hillary raised a magnificent daughter regardless of her husband shannigans. Please tell me what woman control her husband. I used to beg my husband to cut the lawn because the grass had grown tall, but he still cut it when he felt like it, so I learned to stop being angry at him and let him do it when he could not stand the grass anymore than I could.
The drinking thing is a HUGE problem in Alaska—there just isn’t all that much to do. But I do think Sarah Palin has a full plate right now with a down syndrome baby and a 17 year old getting ready to pop, sounds like she has to arrange a shotgun wedding too. Aren’t these maybe just a little bit of a distraction? Is she really ready to instantly be Commander in Chief, if McCain who just turned 72 and has had cancer drops dead—–not an unrealistic or unexpected scenario. Besides POW’s often have hidden health issues which reduce lifespan. An OLD candidate really needs a strong-ready veep, I don’t think Sarah is it—she does sound like a nice lady though.
I say, leave the family alone. The underage children of politicians should be off limits from the news. I am a bit surprised that Palin accepted the nomination with all this “stuff” that could surface and cause embarrassment and unwanted attention for her family and especially her daughter. I feel sorry for the daughter having her picture and her “mistakes” plastered across the nation’s newspapers and evening news shows, not to mention being the fodder for the likes of Letterman and Leno.
everyone made a big deal when Jamie lynn got pregnant.
why not this girl.
i dont think it’s right.
what great morals and values Palin instilled into her daughter.
How is she going to help run a country when she cant even keep her family under control?!
Palin uses her Down Syndrome baby to get coverage and votes! but when it comes to her 17 year old pregnant daughter we are not allowed to talk about her…HYPOCRITE!!!
every ******* republican said on tv that palin is a confident, competent, tough woman who has accomplished something. ***** please, everyone knows that she is a tough cookie ok. no question about it. the issue here is that would she be able to lead the country when mccain dies? is she the best choice that the mccain camp can come up with? she didn’t even have a passport until she was elected as a governor in 2006. on top of that, she has zero foreign policy and national security experience. she’s being used as a direct plea from mccain to get that 18 million votes. what a pathetic loser!!!!!
why are we even bringing her family into this? it’s sick, just leave it alone.
If he didn’t want kids he should have been more careful and used protection.
ephil @ 09/02/2008 at 3:52 pm
Well said. I think when you have that much drama going on in your own home it is not the best time to hit the campaign trail. Her daughter needs her now more than ever, not to mention having a 5 month old with or without Down’s syndrome. I consider myself a modern day woman but I think your children should come first. Being the VP of the US may just need her full focus. LOL.
No, Jim. The age of consent in Alaska is 16. No issue there.
It is so obviously NOT Bristol Palin in those pictures of a young woman drinking. How stupid do they think we are?
A few more lies about Palin’s family like this and she will be canonized by the republican base. Her selection as VP nominee has already galvanized and energized the evangelicals and the real conservatives. It is also bringing in a surge of money to the McCain campaign. McCain did not select her to appeal to the Hillary Clinton supporters. He picked her to appeal to the real conservatives and middle America. Keep up with the crazy smears about her recent birth and her children and you will end up pushing people into her camp and away from Obama that might not have gone there.
Has anyone who spread those crazy stories - Sarah Palin faking a pregnancy, Bristol being the real mother, Sarah endangering her child - offered any apologies when they were shown to be wrong? Yea, I didn’t think so.
I think we have an overabundance of hypocritical busybodies and misogynists who stand ready to criticize Sarah Palin based on her being a woman and mother. And all without real facts.
whatever…
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!
if you go look at those pictures posted … ou would realize that it isn’t Bristol
Ha! @ 09/02/2008 at 3:12 pm
It was the question why would Levi marry Bristol if hes so openly saying he doesn’t even want kids. For someone his age, Myspace is his way of conveying to the world of his “artistic expression”. I don’t know, it just sounds weird that he would say something like that.
As for McCain, he probably did know all these things about Palin when he decided to choose her but like Joy said on “The View”, why didn’t he choose someone else? wasn’t there anyone else to be the candidate for VP?
you are all morons. ever heard of the old adage- ‘let he who is without sin cast the first stone?” yes, i agree that it is the mother’s responsibility to raise her child but ultimately what it comes down to is the decisions of the 17yr old. how many of you listened to everything your parents told you at her age? how many of you drank underage? how many of you experimented with drugs? she is a 17 yr old girl who is making 17 yr old decisions. her actions have nothing to do with the capability her mother has for helping run our country. stop the f*cking gossiping and worry about the important issues at hand. you all make me sick.
Why do the democrats feel so threatened by the Republican’s VP pick? Now they are all after the mother and her daughter.
It’s really interesting to see how 2 parties act on these kinds of unexpected turns and twists. So that I can have a better view on which party can have my party-independant vote!
Hi Halo - thanks for clarifying. I may be wrong, but I believe that the options on Myspace where he said “I don’t want kids” is a drop down menu with a very short list of choices to pick from. I would be very, very surprised if a 17-year-old boy had the foresight or the maturity to state anything other than he doesn’t want a baby right now (” I want kids someday, etc….) I would be interested to find out how many 17-year-old kids have anything BUT I don’t want a child as their status on their myspace. I’m just saying that isn’t necessarily a true indication of what his “bottom line” is, that’s all.
Obviously this is an unplanned pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t turn out to ultimately be a positive thing. My only point is that it is incredibly frustrating to read people posting on here who assume one way or the other (I have no more idea what the truth of the situation is than anyone else) and generalize about people they don’t know and, up until less than 200 hours ago, had never even heard of before.
Oh, and for the record…Obama’s 18 year old mother was UNMARRIED when she got pregnant with him.
Vote for a ******* president !
Yeah, time for change?
It starts looking like an a$$ on one side now!
Really disgusted by all the lies and mean spirits from women to other women.
Oh, and for the record…Obama’s 18 year old mother was UNMARRIED when she got pregnant with him.
Vote for a ba****d president !
Conservatives want no ones hands in THEIR pockets but their own. If YOU want to pay more to support lazy deadbeats out of YOUR paycheck, feel free to. That should be everyone’s choice on how to spend THEIR money that THEY worked for. Liberals want to live off the backs of hard working conservatives.
Not gonna happen.
Vote McCain-Palin !!!
Mark Christpher #115 & Ha, 113.
Mr Christopher I think you said you are a Judge? I will state again, you people (right Wingers) talked about How Jamie Spears and Brittany’s Mother being so unfit and that was the reason for her daughters going wrong. I think fox news had people on tv a million times talking about these people even Bill Oreily talked about it on his show. So now that you right wingers have the same thing going on in your back yard. You chose to give this Palin woman a blank check and not say she is a bad mother also. Ms Spears had a job outside the home also. I just think you people need to be fair when things like this happens to people. Call a Spade a Spade if you know what I mean and let the chips fall wherever. Goodday on my way to work.
“Dems, Reps, politicians … all trash, all liars … EVERY LAST ONE”

Whoever said it, Bravo!
BTW, can we please stop saying it’s the mother’s job to raise the children? There IS a father involved, isn’t there? Maybe you could give him a little sh*t for this situation? I would guess that since Sarah Palin is in a not-so-minor political career (Gov. of the great state of AK and now VP candidate), some of this so-called faulty parenting could possibly have fallen on his shoulders?
Yee HawWWWWWWWWWW!

If you noticed I said the rightwing chicken hawks. I did not say all conservatives, again I said right wing chick hawks and you choosed to answer so is that what you are? If you are a rightwing chick hawk I do not want to talk to you. You are not a person that will be fair in anything and you will never have an open mind about anything. For you, it is only your side of a picture.
I for one think that unwanted pregnancies happen all the time, if it happened to my sister I would be supportive, but I just didn’t like it when one of the biggest popstars in the world’s little sister had gotten pregnant, the Republicans, FoxNews and everyone that was not “liberal”, wanted to throw the rotten eggs and tomatoes at her.
I mean they called her family white trash, Lynne an unfit parent and it just didn’t mellow down until the baby came. Now we have a woman running for VP on the Republican ticket, and suddenly its “okay”, it happens all the time. No big deal. I mean IMO its not cool to public humiliate a person then idolize another for the same thing.
Yah I do get the part that Jamie Lynn is a celebrity and Bristol isn’t, but she’s 5 months pregnant and her mother already knew. That means Palin didn’t care about putting her daughter and her “baby’s father” into the spotlight just as long as she accepted the nomination. She must have known that SOME people would not be gracious about this and that those people would run wild with the incident.
Big deal over nothing. It happens all the time. 95% of kids are just like that, you see it everywhere. Sorry but not “shaken” by it.
That is the reason Clinton is not on the ticket now. Are you lowering your standard to Clinton? Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Yeah, your party members should be so proud of you.
Well done!
what amazes me the most is I believe this is the second child for her, the daughter of Sarah Palin… myself, being sent to catholic school in the late 80’s & being raised in a republican household… any girl that all of a sudden was starting to get fat came down with mono was out of school for 4-5 months; how strange because when I had mono I was out for 6 wks with a small relapse for 2 wks. this was always the same cover up for all of the girls in school that got preggers. also what seems to linger in my mind is children that are born with down syndrome is usually caused by incest or use of alcohol or drugs… so which of the 3 is it… also why is her brother leaving to go to the army was he the one or is it her own father…is this the alaskan way?!. also there are no records of TRIG at the hospital in Wasilla. Sarah Palin should just fess up that TRIG is not her child, but the child of her daughter Bristol. what mother in their own right mind goes back to work 3 days after giving birth… aren’t you physically exhausted from having to nurse at all hours of the night.
I think everyone needs to do some more investigative reading on Sarah Palin she also belongs to this group that wants to segregate Alaska from the rest of the USA & make it its own country. do we really need to false bible thumper to be a heartbeat away from the presidency!!!!
I do feel sorry for Bristol having to be the brunt of it but her mother, Sarah Palin is in it for the celebrity not really for the cause or the interest of the American people. & John McCain says that Obama is a celebrity well let’s see who has been on more talk shows from morning to late night to how many time do we need to see him on SNL. The man frightens the hell out of me just watch how controlling he can be when someone is making a speech & he is next to them. if you look at footage of when his wife was making a short speech @ the bikers thing he showed up at ,& then also enlisted his wife in the contest, he was looking over her shoulder to make sure that she was making & reading all the of the points on the note cards. So now look at footage of when Sarah Palin made her acceptance speech he is doing the same thing. I first thougth he was checking her backside out but then he kept doing it. so what kind of controll freak do you think this man is?!!!! What a total F%*^ing A-hole. I think he thinks all us women are just stupid & have a pea size brain like his wife who probably said to daddy I am going to be the next first lady that is why she went out & spent an un-goddly amount of money on new outfits for the campaign… most of them hideous
I am so feed up with the republican party!!!!!!!
they made a big deal about obama not being patriotic & not wearing a flag pin how trite. god forbid you drag Sarah Palin over the hot coals & dig something up & McCain gets pissed. Buck up A-Hole you’re in politics. Oh & one last comment… she, Sarah Palin, said that she is done with the god ol’ boys club… hasn’t she just hooked up with on of the oldest ones in DC.
I don’t think parenting, faulty or otherwise, is the issue here. I think at the age of 16 or 17 kids do things and some come out of them unscathed and others end up living with the consequences of their actions.
I think the timing is off for either a mother or father to take on a high profile position that will certainly bring national attention to their family at a private time such as a teen pregnancy and all the decisions that need to be made for their daughter concerning her health and her future. As I stated before, now is not the time for her to be taking on an extra job. It brings Bristol into the national focus and unfortunately makes her the center of all the attention. She should just be the pretty faced daughter standing on the stage as her mother accepts the nomination.
what amazes me the most is I believe this is the second child for her, the daughter of Sarah Palin… myself, being sent to catholic school in the late 80’s & being raised in a republican household… any girl that all of a sudden was starting to get fat came down with mono was out of school for 4-5 months; how strange because when I had mono I was out for 6 wks with a small relapse for 2 wks. this was always the same cover up for all of the girls in school that got preggers. also what seems to linger in my mind is children that are born with down syndrome is usually caused by incest or use of alcohol or drugs… so which of the 3 is it… also why is her brother leaving to go to the army was he the one or is it her own father…is this the alaskan way?!. also there are no records of TRIG at the hospital in Wasilla.

On my last poke… didn’t Sarah Palin say in her acceptance speech that she was done with good ol’boys club…didn’t she just join up with one of the oldest ones!!!!
I think we may see Palin backing out any day now. I think this is a hot topic and our uptight American population will just use it as more fuel for the political fire. I think more people should take Obama’s approach and let the subject drop and keep it off limits.
I am an Obama supporter, but had I been intending to Vote for John McCain… this would NOT have swayed my vote.
People think as if Bristol is the first 17 year old to get knocked up… get real!!
And as for being a reflection of Sarah Palin… are u kidding me!!
All parents can do is guide their children… they are still going to make their own choices, and in some cases, live with the consequences of those choices.
What should Sarah have done? Forbid Bristol from having a social life? Installed a chastity belt on her?
C’mon… unfortunate situation that thus far everyone, except the media, seems to be handling with a degree of dignity!
Good Luck Kids
Having ties to terrorist groups FAR exceeds teen pregnancy. Start looking into Obama’s background and leave the Palin family alone.
This whole teen pregnancy presidential thing may have a positive affect on the election. It certainly gets people’s attention. Maybe more voters will actually pay attention to the election process, listen in on the debates and actually turn out and vote instead of complaining after all the is said and done.
BRISTOL FIRST OR SECOND PREGNANCY ???
STILL NOT CONVINCED… RELEASE TRIG BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR TRUTH.
BRISTOL FIRST OR SECOND PREGNANCY ???
WE WANT THE TRUTH
SARAH PALIN STILL DID NOT LOOK PREGNANT TO ME.
IS THERE MORE TO THAT STORY?
oh the group was called the Alaskan Indepence Party the party that wants independence from the USA. they say she was a memeber for 2 yrs the question is… is she still & is this a party like a secret society that will protect you until your last dieing days?
ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING A LOT BIGGER?
ADRESS THE RUMORS!
AND WHY DOES THAT VP PICK WON’T GIVE INTERVIEWS?
AFRAID TO LET HER SPEAK?
TOO EMBARASSED TO TALK TO THE JOURNALISTS?
Tina @ 09/02/2008 at 10:55 am The picture shows her being a regular 17 year old girl. Shocker. And it has been confirmed that the baby was unexpected, so obviously the guy is not going to say he wants kids when he’s 17!
@17 in never drinked or smoke. It’s nothing regular about what she’s doing.

PM Stanton, thanks for pointing out what a racist the guy is that called Obama “Osama”. You saved me the effort.
And just for the record, I’m trying not to judge the Palin family, because nobody’s family is perfect, but I think this is just hilarious that it’s happening to the Republicans the way it is. As someone above said, you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
I wonder what Rush is thinking?
The pictures do not even look like her!
I must have missed it…who is the baby she is holding? Is it her sibling?
i just dont understand in this day and age after all the women who fought tirelessly and even did time in jail to make it legal for women to obtain birth control young girls (more to the point their parents)still think its fine and dandy to get knocked up and then married off!
would you really want to get married when your seventeen? before you have even been an independant person ,gotten a job ,finnished your education? or how about just been a teenager? or had more then one boyfriend?!
the attitude that ” this is normal” is disturbing,you dont have to be a baby machine you actually have choices and rights beyond being a good little wife and mother .
prehaps if Sarah Palin hadnt been so caught up in her antiquated reproductive beliefs we would be discussing her daughters choice of college instead of her obvious lack of choice.
@ shar… Myspace as well as facebook people ALWAYS LIE on their profile. LOL. don’t be naive please. And even anyone saw a close up of Bristol’s finger on the day of her mother’s pick for Vice President she was wearing a RING ON HER RING FINGER as what appears to be an ENGAGEMENT RING. This young lady seemed to be more mature than many on this thread.
SAD
For those of you that think your Democratic leaders are just a bunch of good old boys, take a look at this. If you are experiencing the wrath of Gustav right now or have loved ones in the area, you WILL want to watch this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrBus8ORR78
Sarah Palin praises Bristol for “making the choice for life.” How ironic. Sarah Palin thinks that women should not have a choice, period.
You just know if Obama had a kid that was Bristol’s age the Republicans would be saying the same thing. I think Republicans like Sarah Palin love to talk about abstinence rather than talking to thier children about sex. “Oh honey, let’s not talk to the kids about stuff like that, that’s a dirty subject and she’s too good of a girl to do something like that”. - Sarah Palin
OMG, Palin’s daughter will have an illegitimate child when she is 18!! (So did Obama’s mother.)
OMG, maybe she’s an underage drinker, too!! (So was Obama, per his own autobiogragphy. He also admits he did drugs in high school.)
Bottom line: forget all these distractions and focus on the issues.
Do you want a president who wants to use the IRS not just to raise money to pay for the costs of government, but to redistribute income among Americans more “equally”. Obama proudly states that he plans to take earnings from people according to their means give it to people according to their needs. As originally suggested by Karl Marx. No thanks.
You ppl want to get all over this girl for something that happens all the time across america. obama was a ******* child and no one says anything about it. Or what about his drug use. no real difference. and his running mate is a racist……you bunch of D heads
To #2, 7, 10, 12, 17, 24, 29, 40 & 41 - I completely agree. I am a preacher/chaplain/fireman’s daughter and this happens. The babies father is known by his friends of being an arrogant jerk (a lot of young people are), so the girl was probably pressured by him and everyone else and was just looking for acceptance where ever and how ever she could find it, during stressful times. My sister had the same situation. She got pregnant and gave birth at age 17. I went a different direction, but that is because of my personality and I could careless about acceptance, but that’s me. No one in the political field or the real news cares that she is pregnant or buy into any of the repulsive gossip/garbage brought out by gossip sites, blogs, and magazines, etc… get over it! She is not and will not be the last to get pre-wed pregnant, so who cares. At least she is not aborting a blameless baby for her mistake, and just because you know and use everything about birth control does not mean you cannot get pregnant. The same way if you are trying and using no contraceptives means that you will. It is all about your body and Gods plan. We have no control, despite what the liberals are saying. It is complete crap and you can’t use, as fact and to your advantage, what a choice few on the conservative side or liberal side say that is only delusional and vindictive. It is also not the parents fault. Who can actually control their child that is ignorant. Man has freewill. Parents are just like God in the eyes of a child, they can’t control, just stir up half of the time, lol!! McCain was smart in choosing Gov. Palin. She and her family have shown so much dignity and grace through all of this. She is a strong and tough woman. Whether McCain was with her or not, she will be a great president. She has more experience than Obama and Bidon. I love her!!!!!!!! I also second that any of you claiming that any of this is hypocritical of being a Christian obviously has NO grasp on what Christianity is all about. Get over yourselves. Amen!!
I don’t know the full story, but it seems ridiculous to me that her daughter is getting married at 17. Aren’t the days of shotgun weddings over? It reeks of a political stunt that her daughter is having to tie the knot with her highschool boyfriend at 17- she should be allowed to just date at her age. And how do we know that her choice to keep the baby was even objective? Her mother being pro-life and a politician, it was probably never even an option for her to get an abortion even if she’d wanted to.
DGAF!!!
so what shes preggo get a life and look at the other thousands of girls gettin pregnant
find a new story to cover leave her alone she had sex get over it!!!!
Can Sarah Palin be kind enough to show the world pictures of her pregnant with Trigg?
oh snap @ 09/02/2008 at 10:54 am
WHAT A TRASHY FAMILY
HOW IS SHE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTRY IF SHE CAN’T EVEN CONTROL HER DAUGHTER??
u r a *****
I think that the problem may be education. This poor girl made a mistake and she will have to live with that for the rest of her life. Luckily, though, like Jamie Lynn Spears, this girl is not from a poor family. Her parents are going to help her, support her, etc… What about some of the teens in rural areas of West Virginia (my home state) that get into the same situation? Some of them have no choice BUT abortion, adoption, etc… They face a life of poverty. Bristol, Jamie Spears, etc… they won’t have that problem.
This should be proof that teaching an abstinence only regime DOES NOT WORK. Look it up, schools that teach sex education have fewer number of teens that get pregnant than abstinence only ones.
I just can’t wait for Obama to get into office and help this country out.
I hope God helps the family of Sarah Palin. She needs all the help she can get!
OBAMA ‘08
–Casey
WEST VIRGINIA PROUD.
Bristol deserves to be left out of this. She is doing things that many 17 year olds do, only now she has two consequences–pregnancy and loss of privacy. It is not fair to her to be forced into her mother’s lime light and the likelihood of her ever being faily judged does not exist.
****. wow, they look like a nice bunch of people.. trashyyy!
The trailer trash family. I’m beginning to think Republicans have no moral value at all.
who cares about her daughter or kids or if Bristol has a low life boyfriend? Poor soon to be baby- Adoption would be a better choice so that the baby has responsible parents, etc.
We should be concerned about the possibility of Sarah Palin becoming President of the United States if McBain is elected (hope not). I just can’t imagine Sarah Palin becoming our President!
Hillary Clinton- yes…but, Sarah? OMG!
I give up on your JJ. This used to be a fun place for me to escape the reality of the world by spying on Hollywood. Now you’ve turned it political and I’m clicking to another site. Sell out.
oops—-i forgot to add to my above comment- that IF John McBain was to die (he’s over 70 for heavens sake)…and Sarah Palin becoming President….OMG……..the US is going down
Absolutely not Bristol! Thanks though, all this trash talking only pushes the people on the fence to the other side. Just like when celebrities try to push their views on the American people, it has an adverse reaction.
Trailer trash! But I guess that’s how Republicans like them.
Makes Lynne Spears look like mother of the year.
i thought AMERICANS are so out of this world.but i guess not. what is wrong with being pregnant at 17.LORRETTA LYN HAD A BABY AT 14 BUT NOBODY TALK ABOUT IT, IN THE OLD DAYS WOMEN HAD BABIES AS YOUNG AS 13,IT WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. NOW IT IS JUST BECAUSE THE MOTHER IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE,GIVE ME A BREAK. AT LEAST BRISTOL IS STRONG AND PROUD TO CARRY THIS BABY . IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PARENTING EITHER. WHEN OUR CHILDREN GROW UP AND BECOME AND ADULT,THEY HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION, WE AS PARENTS JUT BE THERE TO HELP IF NEEDED. SARAH PALIN ,JUST LIKE ME ALSO HAS A SON WHO IS GOING TO IRAQ AND I FEEL WHAT SHE IS FEELING RIGHT NOW.
i tried to search and see if al gores sons not so distant dui/drug thing was posted on here but I “think” it was, just in case it wasn’t, least she wasn’t caught with a car full of prescription drugs that don’t belong to her.
The problem is that this women is supposed to be super conservative, anti-sex-ed, pro-life, etc.
They actually said the father Levi is going to marry that chick…. I DON’T BELIEVE IT… unless it’s at gun point… which is quite possible when you talk about republicans.
Let’s keep it real folks, do you really want Sarah Palin to be ‘one 70 year old heartbeat’ away from leading us in war! AND she has admitted that she knows nothing about about the war or foreign policy.
You should all be very afraid!
Bristol’s pregnancy and the family’s response, as well as that of McCain, show me that they are ready to lead America. Do we still need to pretend that we are all perfect and never make a mistake. What is it, one mistake by your kid and you are a failure. We, as a nation, have come to the point to which we understand that people aren’t perfect. This family is doing exactly what they should when life is hard and your family isn’t able to live up to what you believe in. They’ve pulled together, admitted it (haven’t denied it or covered it up). I mean, so what if not everyone knew. A pregnancy it noticeable eventually and they were just biding time. you can’t hide it. These are real people, not fake. Fake people try to look perfect and go to great lengths to hide the truth. The fake one’s are on the other side saying that after 20 years of listening to a Pastor that they are surprised to learn what he really believes.
this is horrible. it blows my mind how judgemental people can be.
first of all, i went to school with all three and i can honestly say they’re wonderful people with great sense of humors, and not “white trash”.
people live their lives in all different ways, i bet every single one of you including myself has at least one nasty habit, but you don’t see me calling you names.
i can agree that they may not be making a good first impression, but you only know these people through what you’ve heard and what you’ve seen, you don’t know them in real life and i bet if you did you’re opinion would change dramatically.
i feel sorry for both families, no one should have to deal with this kind of publicity ever.
this is a personal family matter. it’s not for the whole world to know.
there’s hundreds of teen girls who get pregnant, but i don’t see anyone making a big deal about it.
both families, palin and johnston are good, respectable families.
i just wish the public would leave them out of it.
besides, it’s sarah running for office, not bristol, levi, or mercedes.
i went to school with both girls.
the girl in the pictures is def. not bristol.
in fact, none of the girls in the pictures are bristol
I can’t believe John McCain, the Republican presedential nominee selected his VP candidate after only ONE personal interview! What does this say about his (possible) future choices for Department of Defence, State, Treasury secretaries! I don’t want to think about how he’s going to choose Federal and Supreme court judges! McCain said, “Sometimes I make bad decisions, but I admit them and live with the consequences.” Judges are for life! Live with that mistake! Republicans deserve McCain.

Sarah Palin doesn’t care much for family values, she is an opportunist. look how she was giving a speech to oil fat cats while her amniotic fluids were dripping out. Then she flies to Seattle, then Anchorage, then drives 45 minutes to the hospital. IRRESPONSIBLE!!! Her daughter is fine, just trailer trash, but Sarah is NOT FIT TO BE VP let alone Governor!! Anti-bears, anti-sex-education, anti-environment, just a female version of Mr Bush. McSame, Sarah Bushlin!! Same old same old”
That isn’t necessarily irresponsible. It was her 5th child - by then, it’s sort of old hat.
After all that has been said, I think that this is not the right time for Palin to run for VP. Reasons
1- She is a mother of a DS child who is only afew mths old. She need to pay attention and give the care needed by this child and not bring the child out canpaigning. I admire her for giving birth to this child as I will not be able to do so. I will opt for the other choice as I have seen kids like this need more attn than normal.
2. Her daughter who will give birth soon need her and her help.
3. Exposure to the media will be negative psychologically to the daughter. Obama and all politician can say that the press shd leave the family alone. Do you all realistically think this is possible. I heard that the tabloid has picked up on this story and is front paging it.
As a VP she will need to be in Washington or wherever that needed her. If there is a family crisis, what is the choice. Country First or family first.
Timing is not RIGHT, maybe in another 4 years, whenever her child grow up and the family have adapted to a DS kid, she will be able to be a VP with clear conscience and without the burden.
I will say the ame thing if Palin is a guy. Family need to be together.
Worse for a mother as our role has been a nurturing role.
She shd think what is best for her family, the Republician party and all.
She shd decline the nomination and go back and do some crisis control so that this story will die and the family can be by themselves and at peace before this things get worse.
We can see them becoming a target of the press and being hounded.
” dialectic @ 09/02/2008 at 2:22 pm
why is she having the baby? shes seventeen and her familys answer to not providing her with birth control is to marry her off to some idiot?
wow im sure that will turn out great!
i dont think a teenage girl should be punished for the rest of her life for making the mistake of having sex without birth control .its a big world and its such a shame to see a young girl waste her life being a wife and mom so early..who knows what she couldve become…in a way this is a good thing ,maybe more parents will talk to their kids about sex and how just even one unprotected encounter can change your life forever…”
A BABY IS NOT A PUNISHMENT!
I mean really, sex being fun and all aside, isn’t its primary purpose that of procreation, and not recreation?
lets see.
so i read that bristol is gonna be john mccain’s running mate….ya…..lets start rumors….ya…..i wanna be a professional skateboarder but my girlfriend is pregnant…..that must mean i cant do it…….i might as well work at mcdonalds now…….and live in a crappy apartment in alaska….
no
ehhhhh bristol isnt running obviously. forget about it. everybody stop and point at bullshit. its the cool thing to do these days.
really people pull on your hair as hard as you can and hold your breath so you can hopefully pull your heads out of your asses.
my girlfriend went to school with the palin kids. nice try douchebags.
ill see you all in hell.
Sarah Palin’s choice as running mate for McCain was absurd.
Inexperienced? Incredibly so—alhough Fox News gushed about her foreign policy experience since Alaska is a neighbor of Russia. With that thought, she is probably an expert on the North Pole, and a buddy of Santa’s.
The kicker in Bristol’s pregnancy is that Sarah taught her abstinence only, and did not allow her to take sex ed. in highschool. Perhaps the poor girl would have used birth control if she’ d been imformed. No one’s condemning the poor child for being pregnant. Decent people are sympathetic to Bristol. Obama stated that families are off limits to political criticism, and expressed his sympathy with the tough time the family will be going through. That said, this whole nomination of Sarah Palin is a bad joke. Obama was at least a Senator in the US Congress–and wisely chose Biden, who has been head of the Foreign Policy Committee for years–vastly experienced, and from an impeccable background.
America needs a president that can go toe-to-toe with the likes of China and Russia, if we are ever going to stand a chance retaining any form of economic advantage in the 21st Century.
America already is being raped by the oil executives, and her husband is an oil exiectutive for BP.
America has already a rip in its moral fabric, and this candidate with her genuine hypocritical values does not help.
A vote for her will certainly show the world that anyone can be Vice-President or even President ( Mcain is an old man). But a vote for her would be a vote against the progress and safety of the United States of America.
The world is watching carefully, especially the big players, and even the oil companies. They are rubbing their hands with unbelievable joy.
Meanwhile on the streets of America, there seems no leadership, no visiblity and no great future to seek and discover. We need not expect to find the required qualities of greatness within her.
If she gets voted in, never ask again how and why America fell from power, grace and respect. And never ask why the national debt has increased and why we have resumed our dependence on oil.
There is something sinister about selecting her as a running mate, especially when there are more experienced and less oil-involved candidates.
Wow, this conversation is still going on? It’s a little sad that the majority of the people who are criticizing Sarah Palin in this thread are implying that she somehow should have hidden her daughter’s pregnancy - but also are implying that the only reason we know about it is some political move. Dear God.
Maybe the alternative is, oh, I don’t know, they are a supportive and loving family and are not ashamed of Bristol? Aren’t THOSE the actual family values we should all be searching for? Everyone makes different choices in the situations they are faced with.
No, not everyone is going to choose to become a teenage mother if faced with Bristol’s situation, but that doesn’t mean that she’s being forced into anything. Not everyone sees a pregnancy as a death sentence - thank goodness. I am not pro-life, but I am not about to look down on people who choose to make an equally, if not more difficult decision which is to keep a child that you weren’t prepared to care for for the rest of your life.
It’s also sad that just because her teenage daughter is pregnant - I’m sorry, but I can’t believe that in this day and age there are people on here actually saying this ISN’T a common occurence (pull your heads out people) - she is unfit to apply for this job.
HEY RETARDS….THAT’S NOT BRISTOL PALIN SHOWN HOLDING BOTTLES OF RUM AND BEER IN THOSE PHOTOS….SO WTF DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SARAH PALIN?….WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMFUXDOUCHEBAGS.
Have you people nothing better to do than say horrible things about a 17 year old. This family is not trash they are just like most of middle america. Who are wwe to judge anyone unless our lives and our families are perfect which I totally doubt most are!
So now McCain will convince the father, Levi to join the military because that ultimately will be the only way Levi can support his new family. In a year or two if McCain is elected, Levi will be a hero either dead or alive in our new Iranian war or Afghanistan war or Pakistan war or war with Russia. If I wuz you, Levi and thank God I’m not, I would run so far into the Alaskan Wilderness…………..and quick too.
i think whatever . things slip through the cracks and LOTS of people
underage drink and get pregnant . its not fair that shes put through
this crap just because her mom’s running , this is life people ON !
it makes me laugh reading these green extremists’ comments. so ya dont produce fuel anymore lets import all of the oil so the gas prices can be $12 a gallon. your real smart. and stop bitching about alaskas wildlife theres enough land here anyways caribou migrate du mb bi tches. if theres an unfitting habitat they will find a better place. “we gotta write a petition on lightning they start forest fires and burn down the animals habitat” i wouldnt be surprised if any of you greenies thought of that. look at a map and point at alaska. now understand all of alaskas population could move to one of the cities down there and not worry about overcrowding. dont be dumb please.
so drill now so we can have jobs, lower gas prices, and if palin becomes vp she will get rid of those corrupt as sholes in dc.
i live here i know. you dont.
nice try trying to be smart.
obama is full of **** he has to let it out every once in a while straight to your ears. he doesnt even salute our flag….nice choice.
and experience wise, roosevelt had less experience he was an outdoors man not a *****.
anti-bear what the **** are you talking about. there are so many bears in alaska you whiny *******.
the reason why your worried about bears is because senators who wanna make money with their ties to oil companies whine about harming the habitat blah blah blah so they can sky rocket the gas prices by importing more oil.
shove your hands into your asses and pull your ******* brains outta there pleez.
McCain-Palin `08
: )
Obama’s mother was pregnant at 17 and gave birth to Barrack at 18 years of age. You people need to grow up. 90% of you were having sex earlier than 17 years old.
its almost laughable at how everyone is slandering this family . its not the 1st teenage pregnancy, nor is it the 1st instance of a kid drinking under age . anyone one with kids know they get away from your watch once and awhile and the mess up . hence why they are children , they are growing and learning ….. had she aborted this baby , youd call her a baby killer. her mother has acted formally supportive , but im sure behind closed doors she was angry .. atleast she was honest and open about her family . when you point your finger make sure no ones pointing one back at you
all those party pictures are not bristol palin anyways
Since when have liberals given a flying F about family values??
For all of you who apparently can’t watch the convention and see for yourself that the girl in the pictures doesn’t even RESEMBLE Bristol—-These pics are not of Bristol Palin. The girl in the pics is Sarah Johnson, sister of Bristol’s boyfriend (and if I were her mother I’d would be so embarassed). Please stop attacking this girl. You are malicious and this attempt to humiliate her on a international level is just so ugly. Please consider how you would feel if you were being attacked in this way, especially when the accusations are false. Just back off. The simplest of human decencies in this society to to not harm a child in any way: Physically, emotionally, mentally. Please stop this.
You people are questioning the parenting skills and morality of a VP candidate because her 17 year old daughter makes a mistake that millions of teens have done. What kind of example was Bill Clinton (a president- not a VP candidate) setting for his daughter when he was getting his d*#% sucked in the oval office by an intern…… You people have such a double standard- no wonder so many democrats have left the party.
How about we all stop complaining about what a horrible choice Palin is for a VP and very possibly one day our president and get out and vote!! Make the difference.
You stupid liberal democrats. You people like to sit there and talk about a 17 year old woman. I tell you what, what about Obama’s mother ? Now she was a *****. What about Bill Clinton having an affair IN THE WHITE HOUSE ? John McCain & Sarah Palin are the best thing this country could ever have running it. At least McCain and Palin’s family has served in the military. Ohh thats right, Obama didnt have time being a community organizer in Chicago and everyone knows Bill Clinton dodged the draft. Good role models huh ? LMAO Get a life people!!!! McCain/Palin 08!!
LET ME TELL EVERYONE THIS. WHEN YOU ARE A MOTHER WITH SMALL CHILDREN YOU NEED NOT TO BE RUNNING FOR ANYTHING, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE MISSING OUT IN YOUR CHILDREN LIFE, LIKE SHE DID WITH HER 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. HER HUSBAND JUST BECAME A HOMEDAD. NOW SARAH IS WHEREING THE PANTS.LOL LOL LOL. SO SAD. I THINK SARAH AND HER FAMILY PAIED THAT BOY THE MARRY THERE DAUGHTHER BECAUSE SHE IS RUNNING FOR VP. WHAT DO YOU THINK? ???????????
This whole issue is blown way out of proportion. Really, they’re all just regular people. I don’t say this from a political sense because god I don’t want to get involved, but this whole “lets bash on so-and-so’s celebrity family and get nit-picky about things that everyone actually does go through” thing is just something that makes me go WHY…?! We get it, they have normal teenage kids who like to drink, and drink they will. But why point out and pick on them? Its not like there aren’t about a hundred other children in your neighborhood doing the very same thing as you speak. Its part of life, stop making a big deal out of it.
Bristol is prego and she’s holding her first baby. Don’t really believe thats sarahs’ baby. They’re wild redneck family,horney country weirdos.Sarah looks like a swinger but, what i hate most is she is playing a major role in misleading people to think she could be a leader. She is a follwer,she has no mind,she is a puppet.Please.
OK 259 MAYBE BRISTOL SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN GIVING JAWWORK THAN GETTING KNOCKED
You’ve got to be blind as a bat if you think those underage drinking pictures are of Bristol.
However, I’m still conviced that Trig is her kid. :X
You people are being ridiculous. She’s 17, not a little kid. I don’t know about you, but when I was 17 my mom didn’t tell me what to do anymore. I didn’t have sex but I definitely drank and shot guns. I went to high school with several girls who got pregnant before graduation and while their situation was unfortunate they were not ridiculed for it. I think that the fact that she’s keeping the baby and marrying the father is the right thing to do in an unfortunate situation.
Haha, that means Trig will be an uncle when he’s not ever 1. That’s gonna be weird growing up.
judith light for president!
half of you democratic, liberals yackn your chops right now on this page about Bristol, and the Palin family are sitting in front of your computers right now, holding your 12-17 y/o daughter or sons baby while they are off to school trying to finish their education!!!! Typical democrats though, all up in everyones business so I guess I can understand why the majority of you would thrive on this simple issue that DONT EVEN MATTER!!! lol. How can you say a family is in crisis just because a 17 y/o girl had a baby…wait I know, because thats one of the few flaws the democratic idiots could pick apart in the McCain/Palin campaign lol. Get a life folks! Where did picking the best to do the job go in this country? This whole election turned into making “HISTORY” cmon America! It will only take us a short 4 years to realize that all the (mainly young voters) that the Obama/Biden campaign targeted (mainly because they know its easy to persuade young minds) made a bad mistake by voting on making history, instead of the best person for the job! Not saying that McCain was the right choice, but the better choice on what was given to choose from!! And as far as the drinking issue, not going to say much other than I will have to agree with #24 (hostas) and that im sure half of you again, sit at home of a friday or saturday night, watching your teens baby, while they supposingly “out to a movie with friends” when in fact they are up the street at susies, or sams party cracking a beer LOL. Take a long look at your own life right in front of you people before you get on here trying to critique the life of another!!!!
