Levi Johnston Has Finger Tattoo Of “Bristol”
Levi Johnston, the fiance of Bristol Palin, came out to watch her mom, vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, at last night’s Republican National Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Bristol’s baby bump was on display and so was the ring (engagement ring?) on her left hand. Baby daddy Levi Johnston returned the favor in a more permanent way. He showed off a “Bristol” tattoo on his left ring finger.
Earlier in the day, Levi was seen with the entire Palin and McCain families at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in Bloomington, Minnesota.
45+ pictures inside of Levi Johnston’s finger tattoo…

We need more women like Sarah Palin
F I R S T!!!!
c’mon jared. no one is interested that!
45+ pix of a finger tatoo from someone nobody knew 72 hours ago!
I am interested. Good looking family. God bless them!
i think they seem very sweet together yesterday! i guess that’s not important but i was watching them all the time to see if at least they love each other and i think they do!
Anyone watch when piper, the younger daughter of sarah, lick her hand and then put the spit on the baby’s head? That was funny!!
We’re in the last days.
Hmmm…looks like Sarah Palin’s belief in the teaching of abstinence has really paid off. This is where not teaching your kids to use birth control will get you. It absolutely serves her right. She and the other right-wingers need to get a clue and join the 21st century.
Heaven help America, if that trash makes it to the WH.
i swear, piper palin is hilarious.. the things she does, she acts like someone who’s been in the political arena for her whole life.. natural pro haha..
i think it’s easy to go w/ Obama’s campaign b/c yea, he’s popular, and yea he makes some great speeches and reads the teleprompter like it’s nobody’s business..but it takes courage to stand up for what you believe in, no matter how many celebrities or Oprah tries to convince the rest of the nation that your ideologies and viewpoints are ridiculous or obsolete.. on courage and ability to hold their ground alone, despite the ridiculous bias against them by crazy left media like MSNBC, who hires incompetent lefties like Keith Olbermann, i will choose mccain/palin this year..
stay strong republicans!
awesome quotes of the night:
(regarding the “Community Organizer” hahah) This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.
“For a season, a gifted speaker (the “community organizer who votes “present” rather than “yes” or “no”) can inspire with his words. For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
(Giuliani): “Here’s some free advice: Sen. Obama, next time just call John McCain.”
Sarah Palin is real firecracker!
HAHAHA The Dems are in panic mode.
Jared you just cant seem to leave the family out of this can you?
Pitiful!
Stupid *****. Use some birth control.
this trash better not make it to the WH
#8 (very interesting):
Stick to watching Fox News Network. Please.
You have great values, you are a true Republican. Personal attacks sure are “awesome quotes”. Hee-haaa.
WHO CARES ABOUT THEM!
http://www.MySpace.com/ItsJonaBitch
i’m an obama supporter, but i like the palins.
they seem like a real american family.
By the way… dems aren’t in panic mode. Republicans are, why do you think they choose Palin.
TRASH
ready to through up. This republican is disgusting. How would anybody vote for a hypocrite like her? It is SO plain what she’s trying to do. Hey, republicans, are you gonna get fooled by her? Thought you were smarter. Be careful of who’s gonna get your vote. It is a precious item. She is way too cheap for me.
Can someone explain to me why these two aren’t married all ready?
Wow, once again, the super-liberal prove to be the super-hypocritical.
“patty @ 09/04/2008 at 3:34 pm Stupid *****. Use some birth control.”
Democrats are supposed to be the party that supports the people in our society who haven’t necessarily made great choices but are doing the best that they can with the hand they’ve now been dealt.
Barack Obama himself is the product of an unwed teenage mother. Let’s wait and see what the daughter has done in twenty years, and where her child is achievement-wise before we call them trash, huh?
See now this proves that even self-professed “f—in rednecks” can have a sensitive side.
To be certain, the Palin family is full of domestic intrigue and they put forth a very attractive image - so much so that they are taking attention away from the issues.
Mccain doesn’t want Americans to notice that the Republican platform is the most extreme we’ve ever seen — opposing stem cell research, denying a woman’s right to choose no matter what the circumstance, and continuing to spend $10 billion a month in Iraq. Plus, Palin doesn’t believe that global warming is man-made.
Okay honestly people, Sarah Palin is not a hypocrite.
She believes that abstinence is the way to go.
HER DAUGHTER is the one that doesn’t.
As a parent, there is only so much you can do and then your kids are left to make their own decisions.
I highly doubt Sarah told Bristol to go out and get herself pregnant at 17.
Get a grip, people.
I’m voting for Obama too, but I do think they’re a beautiful family & Trig is adorable. :-)
Awww…so sweet. It’s a teenage girl and the fiance her creepy family will probably never let her divorce once she actually grows up and realizes how badly she’s f**ked up her life.
very sad
they make me sick, MacCain will die soon, he is old and have a long history of cancer, this women could be the presidente of united states ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
#4 OMG…Yes! I was suprised no one has posted a video or pic. Come on JJ get on it. It is to cute and funny not to post.
is it me or does he look like joaquin pheonix
Actually, although Obama’s mother was 18 when she had him..she was married to his father. They met in college, we’re married in February of 1961 and he was born in August of the same year.
the countdown is on till they get a divorce or not married at all
Great family. Did you hear Sarah Palin’s speech. She ROCKED!!! And the panic amongst the Liberals and the Obama campaign is hysterical. I love it. They are complaining that she was mean. If Obama can’t handle this lady from Alaska, how is going to handle the dictators? Yeah, that’s right.. he can’t!
Watch Hypocrisy at work.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/04/jon-stewart-hits-karl-rov_n_123852.html
How can they live with themselves? :?:
She is a liar and a disgrace. This is Bristols second baby ouf ot wedlock. Trig is Bristols baby.
If they are so in love and she is FIVE months pregnant why aren’t they already married? Why didn’t they get married months ago? Does anyone think that it might be an arrangement made post nomination to quell the angry left’s respose to the hypocrisy of a abstinence only policy?
censoring comments again- typical liberal
Heh. I love the statements about how scared the left is. You know who’s scared? The Republicans. There was a mic leak on CNN and two Repub. strategists admitted the race is over and that Obama’s got it. This was a mistake of monumental proportions, and I say that as someone who can’t stand Obama. McCain just handed him the election.
Boy- I enjoyed reading all the silly crapola people have said regarding Obama and Palin’s personal life. We need to stop focusing on their personal life. It’s no one else’s business.
I am more interested in Americans getting smart and focusing on the real reasons we need to vote for someone. As an example- I believe former President Clinton was a good president and had the smarts. Smart in his personal life-? nope…but, it does not concern anyone else but himself and his wife. The US was in much better shape until the current monkey became President- and lookie where we are now! SHAMe. This is the time I am embarssed to be an American. Let’s not make the same mistake and vote for the wrong person this time. I think it is time to vote Democrat- The Republicans had 8 years and we don’t need any more of that stuff!
adorable family!! go McCain/Palin!!!
levi is so hot
heaven helps America if this crap makes it to the white house !
i’m voting for Obama.
levi, why having a tatoo on your left ring finger if you both will split in two or three years from now? …..just giving the facts : bristol could have been clever and used some condom or birth control! gosh, this world is really coming to an end. (especially if those republicansmake it to the WH, again.) .
Seems like you guys loved bush very much.
anyway, OBAMA 08
obama and mccain are the important persons not this guy and her pregnant girlfriend.
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY! McCain-Palin 2008!
a tattoo is much cheaper than a ring.
AND after they get divorced he can put Harvey in front and Creme behind.. and its all good! Party on rednecks!! kind of.. harvey bristol creme isn’t as redneck good as Cisco.. but she was already dating the star quarterback.. she was no puck bunny like Bristol!
I think Bristol is preagnant with 2nd child. Why? Trig is 5 months and Bristol is 5 months preagnant. I know boy who has got 9 month older sister!
Sarah Palin is insane. To be against abortion in cases of rape and incest!!??? The trauma of being raped and abused is not enough, you also have to have the baby as a constant reminder of what happened to you. That is insane and cruel. How will the child feel about the way it was concieved??? People who vote for her and the old creep should be put away for good!!!
Cute family. BTW, Obamaniacs. If we get in, we CAN help you with your inability to spell. It’s called ‘education’. Look into it. :-)
Boo !!!!!!!! @ 09/04/2008 at 4:36 pm heaven helps America if this crap makes it to the white house !
___________
well the white house is the home for some idiots and killers like bush so is not so much diferent now
It is so obvious they are posing that finger for the public…i guess it is okay to tell american young girls to have sex without protection at 17 as long as you tattoo your girlfriend’s name on your ring finger…what a joke!!!!
McCain-Palin 2008!
So her son and her grandchild will be right around the same age-how deliciously white trash!
Look at how well letting the hillbillies run the country has got us to date, she may bring it to a whole new level!
To Maria- #43
No need to murder a baby for any reason. It’s not the fetus/baby’s fault. That’s taking a life! If the pregnant woman does not want the baby……she can put it up for adoption. So many people waiting for a child to love.
TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17 year old preggers daughter to VP candidate sitting there listening to mommy speak about politics! Bwahahahahaha! You didn’t see Amy carter, Chelsea Clinton, or Caroline Kennedy pull this crap! No cause they had ACTUAL class and intelligence than these rednecks!
Hee Haw Jed Clampetts and the family are here. When did levi get that when Sarah was picked for VP. This whole thing is so hyped up that it’s pathetic.
They are a beautiful family. They have my vote! McCain-Palin 2008!
They look like a nice family..and to me,the whole prenancy thing makes them seem more “real”(prolly the angle they were shooting for). I think if a mom is in politics,she does not have any time for her kids though…the only reason Chelsea Clinton didn’t get in trouble is cause’ shes to unattractive to warrant much attention.
#8.
yes it is very easy to go with obama’s campaign. because he is popular..maybe he is popular because people believe in what he says and his promises?
lets see. either go with obama. or
-watch more 20 year old boys die senseless deaths
-let our economy plummet more and more, while we give small countries one BILLION dollars in financial aid. how about giving somewhere like new Orleans one billion to get a fresh start. build better higher levy’s? hmm.
-let people in other countries take our jobs? outsourcing is a serious problem that most people dont even know.
-the housing market is just a mess.
to “ouch”,
so the baby `s life is more important than the mothers??? You pro-life people need to shut the f… up!!! You talk about the baby`s rights, what about a woman`s right to choose the way she wanna live her life, rape and incest is not a choice rednecks!!! If you really think that a girl raped by her father and then getting pregnant at the age of 12 should not be allowed to take an abortion then you are out of your mind, it`s actually scary how blinded people can be. Her daughter and boyfriend are a joke, he`s probably getting paid to be with her and those freakshows.
What a complete joke.
I tell you what they made sure that Bristol didn’t hold Trig last night. They didn’t want the rumors of her being Trig’s mommy coming up again. Also, if you were watching the coverage Levi was the least bit interested in being there and Bristol had to conveniently reach for his hand, she was trying to keep up with the coaching that was given them but he was like i don’t want to be here.
Hipocrisy!
http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184086&title=sarah-palin-gender-card
The photo of SP holding baby Trig and touching Bristol’s knock-em-up ‘fiance’ is so contrived it makes me feel like puking. And I’m not even American!
C’mon Americans - how can you continually fall for such people to lead your country? So she gave a good show - is that what leadership is about?
The quote that was continually shown on our TVs here was the one about not coming to Washington to answer to the press etc, but to serve the American people.
Sounds great, & obviously scored big points with some people, but if you look at it more deeply, just what does she mean?
Is she contemptuous of the press? She’s certainly challenging them! I just hope the press doesn’t crumble in the face of strength like French waiters, but instead remember that it’s their PURPOSE to call both sides to task to keep them honest, to help people understand what they are really standing for in terms of policies etc.
Secondly, she says she’s coming to serve the American people. Just what ‘Americans’ does she mean? Just the ones who fit her notion of how you should live? And does ’serve’ mean she’ll end up serving them up something very unpalatable???
If you think I’m biased toward the Democrats, you’re right! I’ve just had the last eight years to watch the Republicans stuff it up at home & abroad. Who wants more???
P>S That tattoo is a touch of brilliance! Implies a huge commitment that almost makes a wedding ring superfluous!
I’d just like to know when he actually got it…… Call me cynical, VERY cynical!
Hey POST #7.
DOn’t worry, white trash was already in the whitehouse, remember Bill Clinton getting his **** sucked in the oval office?
And HE WAS THE PRESIDENT and A GROWN MAN.
What a real class act. In the house Jefferson and Lincoln resided.
Nothing is trashy about this lovely family, and they are not perfect, and no matter how great you are as a parent, 17 year old teenagers have a mind of their own. So keep calling the names you left wing looneytunes, and soon people will see who is the real hate mogers out there.
Poor kid should have kept his ****** in his pants. Now he is doomed to be stuck with this family to help the republican party. Hope it was worth it.
Maria # 55.
No need to use low class language. I guess you are uneducated.
So murder is ok……no matter what? Ummmmmmmmm. Funny how people use an excuse like incest, etc…when the majority of the time it is just plain stupidity, lust, ….for the “right” to murder. ??
Adoption is the way to go….if the woman/girl…..does not want it. Simple.
I have a sister (not related-adopted) who has had four abortions. She could have given these babies up for adoption. She had an attitude like yours…..and she, today is just a bum and has a hard life.
Take a look at some abortion photos…….it is sickening.
I think it took real courage for a 17-year-old (Bristol) and an 18-year-old (Levi) to hold their heads high and come out on that world stage last night in lieu of what the entire country has been talking about. They could have hid backstage - but they didn’t. I think Sarah Palin was flawless and outstanding last night … Barack better start getting nervous. She’s going to be the first woman president some day … just wait and see. Goodbye, Hillary … you are history now.
Um… what’s with the white trash/redneck comments? Can Alaskians be rednecks? Maybe lumberjack jokes… but rednecks?
I feel sooooo sorry for that boy. I believe he probably does have feelings for her but you know he was strong armed into that engagament. It’s so sad. I have conservative beliefs too but I wish Palin would say “look sometimes you can raise them right and they still make mistakes. I’m standing by my daughter. A shotgun wedding is not the answer”.
To ” ouch” again,
I have never said that I think that it`s OK to do it if it`s your own fault, but in special cases it is crazy to be against it. You think it`s so easy to just have the baby and give it up, shows have retarded you are. You`re sister may be retarded like you and a bum, so don`t compare me to her. I`m a dedicated student who believe in a woman`s right not just the “fetus”. I have never ever had sex without birth control and I would never get in that situation because I know how you get pregnant because we actually have sex education in Norway. Go Obama!!
No one does hypocrisy quite like Republicans. These are the same people that go on sites like this and bash celebrities when they get pregnant without being married. Now, it’s Sarah Palin and they’re the party of tolerance and understanding. I want excellence in the White House not the family from the trailer park down the street. It’s like watching Roseanne goes to Washington. Scary.
Levi is REALLLLYYY cute
#55-n Maria-
no need to talk low class. It’s funny how people always seem to point out “excuses” like incest, etc for abortions when the majority of the time- it is not the reason for an unwanted pregnancy. I have a sister (not related)-she’s adopted..who has had four abortions and has the same attitude as you. She had the abortions because it was a “mistake” or the boyfriend was a loser…whatever. She could have chose to put it up for adoption instead of murdering the child. She used the excuse- ” a woman’s right” crap. Makes no sense. This woman could have done the responsible thing- by giving the baby up for adoption. Take a look at some abortion photos….if that does not change your mind- you are not humane! By the way, I am not a redneck…and it’s stupid for people to label people they know nothing about. Wake up or get educated!
Oh by the way…….if you think Bristol and her bf “look like they love each other”…..LOL LOL…..at 17…it’s called “puppy love”
To “ouch”:
if getting a masters(5 years) in computer science is being uneducated and finishing with top grades in school are uneducated then i wonder what you know about education. At least we learn that adam and eve never existed and that sexual education is the best way to go if you wanna stay healthy and not get unwanted pregnancies. I bet you work at burger king, you`ll make 8 dollars an hour and I`ll make 100 dollars an hour. I bet your gonna end up like your sister..
Maria- YOU are the one tht is acting retarded. Not opened minded at all. I don’t care if you have a Ph.d or whatever… murder is murder.
I am not a redneck, bum or whatever. I am college educated, and now retired. You are so wrong and just grapping at straws. And no, my sister is not retarded. She sounds just like you with that attitude.
by the way, I was not at all interested in your sex life ..so no need to have shared with all here on JJ.
This is my last response to you. ..not worth discussing at all. Oh, by the way..we DO have sex education in the US. There are all kinds of people in this world…Norway or the US.
And also….I am voting for Obama myself…..only because we don’t need another 4-8 years of these Republicans.
Peace Out
republicans are such power hungry hypocrits! were this a BLACK girl, PREGNANT AND UNMARRIED, there would not be this almost sickeningly cinematic show of support. They’ve basically thrown away an entire set of their core values to make the public like Palin enough to vote Republican and it’s sick. BTW, the guy looks like some throwback movie star…i’m sure that helps a lot. The right is ridiculous…
Giving the girl some sincere attention could have prevented this. They may be sweet together now, but her upbringing failed her, and how are kids that young supposed to decide what to do with the rest of their lives. There’s no way Wonder Mom can give those children the parental attention they deserve, and the results are already there. And then by taking this job, she sacrifices the children and their challenges to the media. Mommy dearest.
testing
Poor kid’s getting the gun-toting mother-in-law from hell. I’d be scared.
I love the way Palin said her family was off limits and then she parades them around at every turn. Did anyone else notice that they passed that baby to every member of the family? This woman is as phony as it gets. Her family takes second place to her political ambitions. As a mother I couldn’t imagine running for VP with a 4 month old baby or putting my pregnant teenager in the limelight. Maybe if she had been looking after her family or teaching her daughter sex-ed instead of abstinence only she wouldn’t be a child having a child. Family values my a**.
AMEN BETH - #61!
Great looking family - the girls are all identical and beautiful, and you can tell that Piper has quite the personality. I can’t wait to see more of her!
pregnant and engaged at 17, now a tattoo of her name on his body. their relationship is obviously doomed like McCain is with this election.
27 Mia @ 09/04/2008 at 4:03 pm
Actually, although Obama’s mother was 18 when she had him..she was married to his father. They met in college, we’re married in February of 1961 and he was born in August of the same year.
——-
So Obama’s mother was already pregnant when she married his father. I read that she became pregnant when she was still 17, and that Palin’s daughter is marrying her baby’s father too. Same story!
Well we all know that those relationships where the parties have a tattoo of each other’s name ALWAYS last forever!
*rolls eyes*
well said #76!
Levi looks like he’s 40 years old
Great speech 2004, Karl Rovian!!!!!
10 patty @ 09/04/2008 at 3:34 pm Stupid *****. Use some birth control.
——-
You sound as if this girl is the only teenager that got pregnant. You can not claim that this only happens to teenagers whose parents think abstinence is the way to go. You can warn teenagers, you can give them condoms, they do what they want. Some are just stupid, or accidents happen.
Palin’s daughter is lucky that her family is supportive.
I think that’s quite cute! I wish only the best to Bristol and Levi as well as the baby to come! =)
There are worse things to worry about from Palin then her pregnant daughter.
Watch this Video.

#86 It’s not Right
I’m not American & therefore nor familiar with this wildlife issue in Alaska.
What is the justification for the shootings? Are the numbers too high to be sustainable?
I find it pointless for pro-life supporters and pro-choice supporters to debate. You get nowhere. It’s a parallel debate. You never agree.
Pro-choice supporters will usually use the rape victim as an example, which is wrong, I think, because I’m sure most females who have had one or more abortions have not been victims of rape.
I can understand a female not wanting a pregnancy if she was raped, but I have read about a girl who said she hated the guy who raped her but the baby is innocent, so she had that baby. It varies with the individual.
GOD FORBID THAT YOU OR A WOMAN CLOSE TO YOU GETS RAPED, PREGNANT THROUGH RAPE AND THEN, THANKS TO PALIN’S/THE CONSERVATIVES SICK LAWS, GET FORCED TO HAVE THE BABY ANYWAY!
I can not believe that such a big issue isn’t enough for anyone NOT to vote for the republicans, it’s a shame and I pray that these people do not come into power, ever.
I have to agree with#5, I know we are in the last days….the antichrist himself obama is running for president….so I do agree we are in the last days ! Good call!
Mccain/palin08!
ugh NEVER get anyones name tattooed on your body unless you have either given birth to them or they gave birth to you.
im sure this forced marriage will be great especially when its 3 am and the baby is screaming and dear husband is no where to be found….how sad it must be to have your entire life ruined before you have even lived it.
maybe im biased because i think marriage is archaic but to be seventeen and having to swear legally and spiritually that you will never love anyone else (besides the guy who knocked you up when you were in high school ) for the rest of your life is just wrong
Let me get this straight.People on here are voting for McCain and Palin because Palin, has a cute family. You’ve got to be kidding me. Palin, didn’t mention anything in her speech about the economy,health care, what she will do for this country.About this community organizer quote,wasn’t Martin Luther King Jr., President John Adams,church leaders,PTA,community organizers?McCain and Palin just another Bush presidency.Did you know Bushs’ speech writer wrote Palin’s speech last night? I for one will be voting for Obama and Biden.Biden will show Palin’s lack of experience in the debates.Wait until the media asks her the tough questions.
Healthcare one word. Sorry for mistake.
Have to say its kinda cute! He is really good looking, wayyy 2 young though!
obama/biden 08!!!
NOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its soooo funny when you compare the dnc to the rnc….the dnc is hollywood backdrops and fake and has oprah….the rnc is full of heartfelt ideas and very down to earth, and oh the big one…..EXPERIENCE!
Makes you think….
Mccain/palin08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely family, McCain and Palin are the right choice for our country, they definitely have my vote.
obama/biden 08!!!!
McCain- Palin 2008!
He’s only 18? He sure looks older than his actual age. Wow.
The only trash in this election his your goatherd of Kenya , since Obama’s half Kenyan maybe he should run for President of that country it probably desperate needs some “community organizer”, since it still stuck in the middle ages.
We are a middle class family. My husband and I are college graduates, make a decent income, attend church regularly and live in a nice neighborhood. We raised our 2 sons to wait until marriage to have sex and talked about it over and over, very open discussions, from the time they were old enough to understand. They agreed with us and always told us that their plan WAS to wait until marriage. My oldest son came to us about 3 months ago and told us that he and his 19 year old girlfriend are pregnant. I don’t think that makes us “white trash”. It hurts to hear people call the Palin family that name. Teenage pregnancy happens in the best of families.
Look, you can talk to your kids until your blue in the face but all you can do is keep your fingers crossed, and hope that they will do the right thing!
You can’t judge Gov. Palin by the actions of her daughter. That’s just not fair to judge people the way that a lot of you are. It’s not right.
Jared, I love your site, but if I see one more thing about Palin I will quit going to it. You are perpetuating the image of the woman but not telling us anything about the candidate. Yes, she is a mother. Yes, her family has issues. Yes, nice photos. Blah. Blah. Blah. But, this is a woman who is ultra conservative. A woman who does not believe in sex education (big surprise that her daughter is pregnant) and bans abortions even in the case of rape. She accepted a lot of money from special interest while she was Mayor, and she is accused of using her position to get her brother-in-law fired. That speech wasn’t even written by her but Bush’s speech writer. He’s known for zingers. Shock and awe anyone? So far we know nothing about her, and the issues are being ignored. This woman could be President. I was a McCain supporter until he hired the same team who worked for Bush and put on a smear campaign against him 8 years ago. This choice of Palin was a big mistake, and a tactical one that may backfire. I am voting for Obama.
What a beautiful family, beats Hip Hop and Hair Plugs any day, That John McCain is brilliant no wonder the Vietnamese couldn’t break him and that he’s been at the fore front of American’s security for the last 25 years. Obama’s wife keeps his balls in her pursue that’s why Hillary was able to emasculate him and even thou Hilary pretended she was just a “small town” girl who knew how to pull a punch your seeing a real American ‘ small town” girl and she knows you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight and you always keep your smile.
That tat is probably fake–just like Sarah Palin.
GORGEOUS FAMILY!
nice looking children no doubt, but please don’t let their mommy anywhere near the white house.
Yeah, Jared. Please no more Palin news. I’m really sick of them. You should post this instead. It’s very funny!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8uGenNjOAI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyPKn2BtGUQ
umm, connie, who’s judging palin based on her daughters pregnancy…are you not aware of her other issues? if not, please get informed as they are pretty scary
Who gives a care? If this would have been one of Obama’s dauthers, the media would be talking bad about it, but since its Mccain’s vice president, its okay for a 17 year old girl to be pregnant. Lets send this message all across the already troubled America.
McCain- Palin 2008!
Other than the fact that she is sucking Mccain’s shrivred up little ****, what makes Sarah P qualified to be the vice president?
Sarah Palin can’t handle the press questioning her experience without getting the McCain handlers to go out yelling that’s sexist. That’s the woman we want in charge of the country? Stop whining and answer some goddamn questions and then maybe you’ll court some independent voters, which you need, instead of just rallying up the same mudslinging, no values, no plans, nowhere to go but down Republican base that has diminished GREATLY in the last four years.
It sucks I feel I can’t be honest with agreeing more with McCain/Palin.
Dude, he was a prisoner of war for 7+ years in Vietnam! The Vietnamese even like him there because that’s the only American they know. He deserves 4 years in the White House. He has done so much and no one gives him credit. Get a clue and stop looking to MTV and the local news for your information on politics–it’s all skewed. Look at the FACTS.
Obama has great ideals too but realistically I feel as though its McCains turn right now. Perhaps Obama in the next election…America needs to deal with the pending issues and then move on, its not based on “hope” as Obama preaches.
What was with Palin’s Nazi salute during her speech?
Hey Ava # 103
Wow, you dumb azz - none of the speakers have written their own speeches…they have teams of speechwriters working for them. It is common practice for ALL politicians….
A friend of mine is the speech writer for our County Executive…that is how common it is!
And, people like you are going to support Nobama….how good is that!
I am a little surprised at how obsessed Jared has become with this young couple….I doubt if they even know about this site though (or we can only hope or they may be a little spooked at the obsession)…
The rest of the liberal media has given up on the kids, why don’t we?
Mccain has suposdely done so much for this country, but so what? That does not make him the better choice. I dont want to keep on living pay check to paycheck and have gas prices rising because another “bush” is in the office. Mccain and his rich wife needs to go elsewhere. This country n eeds a democratic president. Lets face it ppl. Alot of so-called democrats are votign republican only because they cant stand to see a black man runnign for president. Says alot about this country. I think this country is racist and this election just proves my point.
YOu know what i hope Mccain does win, that way in about two years when everyoen is screaming what a terrible president he is and how bad the economy still is, i can sit back and laugh. Just like I did with Bush. You MF’s need to wake the **** up and face reality.
Just becasue Mccain is white, doenst mean he is the better choice for president and that woman that he has as a vice president is just a sick attempt to get t he Hillary Clinton Voters and to ensure that he makes history.
**** politics its all about reality *******.
Obama-Biden ‘08!!!!!
Jared,
Are you printing a retraction of YOUR LIE about Sarah Palin’s baby boy?
MCAIN/PALIN FOR PRESIDENT AND VICEPRESIDENT!!!!
# 87, just go to http://www.defendersofwildlife.com and you can read everything about the wolves and the people gunning them down.
I am Canadian and I would vote for the Republican party if I were an American.
John McCain is an honest, sincere, humble man. Although George Bush has shamed America during his presidency but I believe John will take America to a different direction and he will restore the country for its prosperity and grace.
Sarah may have a challenge with her personal family matter with her daughter’s pregnancy but this woman has courage and machonism regardless the ridicules the media and tabloids have played on her and her family the past few days.
John and Sarah will work hard to serve the American people. They seem to be down to earth and practical.
Obama is an good orator but I don’t think he is what America needs right now. He has no plans to earn ‘ income” for America. He and the former Bill Clinton choose the same path, which is spending , spending and spending.
When Clinton was in power he got everything left by the Republican and he was just sitting there and spent. He promised Americans ” universal health care” system but for 8 years long he could not do it.
Obama is good with talking and for the different time other than where America is now.
With Chinese and Russia emerging power, America needs to continue strengthen its status and must do what it needs .
So American people need to be united, patient . Don’t think you can save your downturn economy by what Obama promises you. His ways won’t work.
It is just my thoughts.
right they flew her pregnant daughter’s boyfriend to the convention and had a photo op greeting at the airport & paraded him onstage because they don’t want people to focus on their private family matter. they’ve treated this girl like a prop the entire week. it’s disgusting. her pregnancy became a shield to accuse anyone that asked legitimate questions about the governor as bashing her family, this is exactly where they wanted the media focus.
if bristol palin was going to face many of the same problems that other unmarried teen mothers face and struggle financially, conservatives would be criticizing her as a welfare mom, not celebrating her choice to this baby (the same choice they want to deny others).
Levi looks like a younger Josh Duhamel.
THIS election is OVER .Popular lies, and who get theirs out there first and what soft cute story sells first is what peoplemoslty vote on. McCAIN and PALIN win .What does Plain’s family woes have to do with our gas prices? Beats me. McCain is smart.I give him that . He knew why he chose Palin. This story of her family will over shadow everything like issues. People do not vote on issues..
PRESIDENT McCAIN and VICE PRESIDENT PALIN will be in office for 2008 -2018. PALIN is the FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. It is any party’s grab for 2012 election.
So be it.
I hope things stay the same.If Obama/Biden had won , things would have been different ,slightly. They would have only served one term. I really hope things in the country remain the same….Home foreclosures due to highinterest /mortage rates, high gas prices, highcost of living, outsourced jobs to help big U.S companies, no nat. health care, no tax break sfor working families, high cost of state colleges and less govt .help like grants, the war conts. as it makes money for big businesses, Comuunist China remains most favored nation, China ,Russia and other countries tellingth eU.S.A what to do, U.S.A for China , Russia, and many other countries, etc.
I really hope things remain the same.
The only thing I wish PRESIDENT McCAINand VICE PRESDIENT PALIN wil do is cut way back on Medicare and Medicaid.Why should old and young able bodied people get free and reduced medical care? Itis only fair.If workingpeople cannot get some health care because their jobs do not offer it , no one should have it. It would save the govt .a lot of money to cut back on Medicaid and Medicare. Eventually do away with these. Everybodyshould pull themselves up by their bootstraps.I do pull myself up. I work hard.I save. I have had it hard. I wroked hard throughcollege, and now.
Oh, God, please stop McPain from taking the whitehouse. Crazy pregnant *******…
Sarah Palin is insane. To be against abortion in cases of rape and incest!!??? The trauma of being raped and abused is not enough, you also have to have the baby as a constant reminder of what happened to you. That is insane and cruel. How will the child feel about the way it was concieved??? People who vote for her and the old creep should be put away for good!!!
—
so you think an innocent baby should be murdered becasue of another crime? havent you ever heard of 2 wrongs make a right?? why not carry the baby full term? even though it came from tragedy you would still love it, and if you couldnt handle it you could put the baby up for adoption for someone that wants a child so bad but isnt able to have a baby! murder isnt necessarily the answer. ive defintely been pro choice most of my life, but i am realzing what a shame it is to not give someone a chance it life. is an abortion really any diffrent from having a kid and leaving in the street, or having a young child and allowing it to drown? no.
Beautiful family, yes, but that’s no reason to vote Republican.
With their domestic intrigue and attractive image, the Palin family are taking attention away from issues that matter.
Mccain doesn’t want Americans to notice that the Republican platform is the most EXTREME (conservative = extreme) we’ve ever seen — opposing stem cell research, denying a woman’s right to choose no matter what the circumstance, and continuing to spend $10 billion a month in Iraq. Plus, Palin doesn’t believe that global warming is man-made.
God save America.
The Republicans knew the Palin famiiy would give their campaign a sense of youthfulness. John Mccain turned 72 recently and would be the oldest president to take office. Reagan was the oldest man elected, at 69, and by the end of his term he was really really losing it.
McCain has suffered malignant melanoma — a dangerous form of skin cancer. Should age and health issues matter? Yes, this is the hardest job in the world. Just look at “before/after” images of presidents and the toll the job takes is obvious.

I am Canadian and I would vote for the Republican party if I were an American.
——-
If I had a vote, it would have gone to Hillary, but she already lost.
I love following women in politics, and was pleasantly surprised when another woman came on the scene, from nowhere. I’ve watched both conventions, and taped several speeches. Sarah Palin is terrific!
Btw, Cindy McCain flies a plane, just like Angie, and has also adopted a daughter, from Bangladesh, from Mother Theresa’s orphanage.
i don’t have a problem with mccain, but there is no way in hell am i going to stand by having her as a VP and have a potential shot at being the president of the US since we all know mccain might just hit the bucket considering his age. i was actually thinking for voting for him but now that i see his choice for vp, forget it. im voting for obama, incase something were to happen to him, at least ill be in peace with biden taking over. vote wisely guys. i don’t have any respect for a mother who puts her ambitions and work before family. she was a 5 month old son with down syndrome and she wants to be the VP of our country? no family value there.
mccain wants to keep having the war…and at what cost? i am sick and tired for having to pay **** load for gas prices. if only he would’ve decided to end the war. this is one republican who will vote for obama!
Everyone is talking about how good her speech is but they really need to give credit to the man who wrote the speech!! what the hell is that about she didn’t write that where would she have the time. And her whole JUNO baby daddy situation is really pathetic she should have educated her kids to put their future first before being interested in boys!! and look at how quickly they got engaged,,,would this be so if he wasn’t being pressed out by the media - this is a relationship that isn’t going to last remember that i called it!!

We are a middle class family. My husband and I are college graduates, make a decent income, attend church regularly and live in a nice neighborhood. We raised our 2 sons to wait until marriage to have sex and talked about it over and over, very open discussions, from the time they were old enough to understand. They agreed with us and always told us that their plan WAS to wait until marriage. My oldest son came to us about 3 months ago and told us that he and his 19 year old girlfriend are pregnant. I don’t think that makes us “white trash.” It hurts to hear people call the Palin family that name. Teenage pregnancy happens in the best of families.
——-
ITA! Some people are just so judgemental. Maybe these critics don’t know that the same thing happened to Obama’s mother too!
Look, you can talk to your kids until your blue in the face but all you can do is keep your fingers crossed, and hope that they will do the right thing!
You can’t judge Gov. Palin by the actions of her daughter. That’s just not fair to judge people the way that a lot of you are. It’s not right.

So she gave a good show - is that what leadership is about?
She must be a good governor. 80% approval rating is not to be sneezed at! She must be a good leader.
The quote that was continually shown on our TVs here was the one about not coming to Washington to answer to the press etc, but to serve the American people.
Sounds great, & obviously scored big points with some people, but if you look at it more deeply, just what does she mean?
Obviously she means just what she said. She’s going to work for the whole country. If they win, of course. Right now she works only for one state.
Is she contemptuous of the press? She’s certainly challenging them!
I don’t think so, but some in the press have judged her before they got to know her. That is unfair! It’s GREAT that she is challenging them! I love women in politics!
A few years ago, I cancelled our TIME subscription, because I’ve had enough of seeing W’s face. If the McCain/Palin team wins, I’ll give TIME a call. Definitely subscribe again, because I’ll want to follow this gutsy woman.
I just hope the press doesn’t crumble in the face of strength like French waiters, but instead remember that it’s their PURPOSE to call both sides to task to keep them honest, to help people understand what they are really standing for in terms of policies etc.
I hope so too!
I pity that baby, to be welcomed into that family.
Mommy to be drinks alcohol at an nonlegal age, gets knocked up at age 17. Daddy tattoos mommies name on his finger as if it would prove anything.. Mommy Is forced to marry daddy because grandma is involved in the elections, and hasn’t time to be there for the new mommy and grandchild. Not only because of the elections, no! because the mommies brother is about a year older than the grandchild is!
Com on, nobody is seriously considering it to lead the country/world!?
Sins America is forcing them selfs into the whole world i think the whole world should have a vote in this! my vote. Hit the road, America is filled with millions of people who are much better then you are!
I really like how she’s using her own familly, especially this poor boy and pregnant teen
so so cute
Sorry, lynn. I made a mess of your post (# 104) in my post (# 136).
Let me fix it.

I hope your son and his gf make the best decision for them.
Marta, I agree. Palin asks for privacy, but pimps them out. And this is an issue because of her fundamentalist politics, NOT because of the “left wing” media. Ok, so she supports her teen–whom she knew was pregnant BEFORE thrusting her and that poor boy into the nat’l spotlight–but tries to force no sex education for our own kids down our throats? Unbelieveable, and that’s just the tip of the hypocritical iceberg… Too appalled to say anything else, except respond to the reader who praised her as a “Firecracker.° That’s an Annie Oakley characteristic, not one you want a (72 yr old) heartbeat away from the red button. Enough cowfolk in the White House already.
im sure that guy was forced to be tattooed and is now stuck with the family to show how greatly they gave the example of a non-sex-educated young couple, who obviously had chosen abstinence. that sounds really fake to me… they do seem like a great family, but is it what america want? appearances? way to go. that woman sounds so 19th century…
VOTE OBAMA.
very classy family! NOT.

======================================================
Orchid,
Please do not make reference of Angie or Brad to John McCain and Cindy McCain. They are totally different and in different leagues. You can vote for Angie for Hollywood for whatever she does but not for America.
I want to discuss politics not cebrities at this column.
jenna @ 09/05/2008 at 2:01 am mccain wants to keep having the war…and at what cost? i am sick and tired for having to pay **** load for gas prices. if only he would’ve decided to end the war. this is one republican who will vote for obama!
—————————————————————————————–
No one likes war but America’s presence in Iraq is to stablize several issues that the American economy depends on.
If you remember the Gulf War years ago and the aftermath of it. But all of that was thrown out of the window when your Bill Clinton was in office for 8 years. George Bush was left with many holes in budget resulted from Bill’s 8 years of not earning any ” income” for America. George Bush has tried to recover the deficits but his way of doing it as not as smooth and clever as Donald Reagan. That is why American people are losing interest in him. George Bush has applied the same foreign policy as much as what has been written in American history, doing exactly what is needed. However, George Bush lacks communication skills and he is not a good public speaker.
So there is a need for the Republican to be in the White House another 4 years to resolve some unbending issues.
Woah, Governer Palin is a regulation hottie. Buuuut I’m still voting for Obama, sorry. Lol. Don’t get me wrong, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the McCain family, but I don’t agree with what John McCain wants to do with this country. Obama ‘08 =]
#29: Actually, his father was already married to another woman when he married his mother. She was also three months pregnant….which meant she did have pre-marital sex as well as an adulterous affair since he was a Muslim. That’s according to their law.
pure trash
I can’t believe she is only 17 from looking at her, good luck to her with having the baby and I love her and her boyfriends name Bristol and Levi.
I didn’t know who they were until a few days ago as i am in the uk so i haven’t really been following who’s running for president.
Least she’ll be 18 when she has her baby and hopefully finished school unlike some young mum’s.
#141: What part of it wouldn’t have come out quite that openly blatant if the media hadn’t pushed them into doing it? They started with the Trig is not hers but her daughter’s. So since it was going to come out anyway (because they never had any intention of hiding it, just dealing with it as a family issue) they took the bull by the horns and now you are seeing the results.
How could she be pregnant for 5 months when Trig is only 4 months old? Yet stupid jerks still insist she could still be the mother and this was her second pregnancy. So don’t complain if it backfired on the face of the media. Now people are giving the Palins compassion instead of condemnation. It happens to the best of families so don’t expect them not to relate.
#134: If you think that the enemies are going to desist from attacking you if Obama becomes president then you have another think coming.
We were attacked because they think America has gotten weak and can’t stomach any casualty. They were calling America a paper tiger…a wimp because the people had no will to fight….a superpower without teeth.
These are dangerous times we live in. Look around you…Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa. War is going on everywhere and America has nothing to do with it. Yes, we are in Iraq and Afghanistan but why are there conflicts in other places? If you don’t have a strong leader with convictions how are you going to cope with all that’s going on? A weak dog does not live long against a pack of alphas.
what a beautiful family they belong to the white house just like the kennedy’s before. go mcCain/palin 08!!!
levi is really cute.
#153: Track Palin, Sarah’s eldest boy is even cuter. The Palins have a very good looking family…from parents to all the children…to the son-in-law-to-be.
Every baby is a blessing from God. God Bless their whole family.I pray they have a healthy,happy baby.God Bless the Palins’ little baby boy too.
So help me, if this knit-wit and that weiner head McCain get in, I’ll learn to speak another language and move the hell out of here. If he wanted a woman, he should have picked Condi. At least she has an iota of experience and she’s not pimping her personal life to the tabloids.
I’m not a big fan of Obama, but anything is better than these two.
I think it’s easy to go w/ Obama’s campaign b/c yea, he’s popular, and yea he makes some great speeches and reads the teleprompter like it’s nobody’s business..but it takes courage to stand up for what you believe in, no matter how many celebrities or Oprah tries to convince the rest of the nation that your ideologies and viewpoints are ridiculous or obsolete.. on courage and ability to hold their ground alone, despite the ridiculous bias against them by crazy left media like MSNBC, who hires incompetent lefties like Keith Olbermann, i will choose mccain/palin this year..
they embarrass me…Palin supporters are idiots
Complete white trash. I am revolted by this family, no chance in hell do I want this dumb ho representing my country.
Let’s hope the baby is born with no limbs
I am interested to see what the baby looks like. There is a young handsome African American gentleman that dated Bristol, claiming that he is indeed the father of the baby. Bristol told him the baby was his. He inist that her family knowns but because he is black he has been told to keep quiet. I’ll wait to see pics of the baby. If there are no pics then I’ll have to wonder why. He wants to be part of the baby’s life.
Funny how Levi has a tattoo on his finger when his web page was rapidly ripped down and the next day after not wanting to be a dad. All of a sudden….WHALA!!! WE HAVE A TATTOO!
How are you going to run a country when you can’t even control your own family unit. Instead of bashing Obama, you needed to give the focus on your daughter and family unit.
I think many of you are jealous. Levi is a total hottie.
