I thought this remark was more interesting…

"Mark Okeson, the assistant principal at Wasilla High School, told the Chicago Tribune that Bristol started her junior year last fall, in the town where Sarah Palin grew up.

He said Bristol inexplicably transferred to an Anchorage high school midyear, leaving Levi behind.

"I never heard the story why," he said. "

Hmmmm perhaps to nip a romance in the bud? or to get her out of the way before she starting showing?

Now all of sudden, it's out in the open because it has to be, and Palin is giving the pregnancy her blessing. If she gave it her blessing in the first place, why transfer the poor kid to another highschool, right around the time she found out she was preggers?

what rhinnah said.

plus, the guy's myspace says he doesn't want kids (not unlike most teenage guys) but palin the abstinence only queen is saying they're getting married.

mmm, first she yanks daughter out of school and transfers her, then she claims the only reason her daughter's pregnancy was revealed was to refute rumors that daughter was real mother of trig, and chooses to do so during gustav coverage at the end of a holiday weekend.

like, what, she couldn't have proven the trig baby rumors false by just releasing pics of herself pregnant? how hard was that?

like, what, she didn't think the free world would notice daughter's already burgeoning belly and soon discover on their own she's carrying a child?

this family is so freaking shady and i really question mccain's wisdom in choosing her for vp. some peeps who were supposed to vet this woman shld be fired and flogged.

It's Palin's comeuppance, like Cheney's gay daughter. If you're an evil bitch who fights on the wrong side of an obvious issue like gay rights, or sex education for teens–God is spiteful dude.

That's all for now, from The World According To Chelsea.

This "Shotgun Wedding"…. is Palin holdin' the shotgun?
Something is very fishy in all of this. The girl is out of the school, the girl has "mono" for 4-5 months, the Palin's non-pregnancy….
In national politics, there are no secrets, for long.

There's definitely something fishy going on. And I don't know what it is. But it's all so weird! Why reveal your daughter is pregnant after getting the VP pick? Most people let on they are pregant around 3-4 months - she's 5 months, why the secret if everyone in the family is "happy" with her decision? (and someone tell me what exactly the decision was, the decision to hump without a condom?)

Was he eighteen at the time of her getting pregnant? If so, isn't that, uhm, illegal?

Interesting progressive stuff there, Moms, forcing a marriage. I do believe that the only definitive way to avoid pregnancy is to avoid the deed, but that is a choice not THE choice. Options should be available. Honest to gawd, it makes it tough to believe when others decide what speaks for ALL who are participants or believers. The moral majority doesn't speak for my faith, nor, I do believe, for the deity they profess to lurve. Typical of the demigogue of the day, eh?

Orville Redenbacher's about to get a big ole payday….lots of getting comfy and watching the circus to be had….

The fact that this inexperienced, shady, infant of a political figure with a knocked up teenage daughter has been nominated for the position of VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING UNITED STATES is mindblowing. The fact that people still support McCain and use this pregnancy to justify their pro-life stance is just plain fucking sad.

It's frightening that she could conceivably be the president….she's totally unprepared. It isn't like she can have Osama fired or anything.;-)

It has nothing to do with her being a woman…there are many qualified women out there…unfortunately McCain, through ego or whatever, didn't choose one. What a waste of opportunity in an already historical race.

I just hope we as a country can see some closure to some the shit going down and some progress in solving the crises happening for the common citizen. It is time for a change….bring it, SOMEONE.

Whew….sorry…just woke up…my dream world spilled over into real for a moment…damn it…

Get an effing life.
The are pregnant teen girls scattered all over the country. Jamie Lynn Spears certainly got her 15 minutes of fame out her pregnancy.
So, what if she is the daughter of someone running for vice president?
I'm with Obama on the fact families are not part of the election, especially kids.

You said Stoney! I don't think it's so much about pro-lifers and creationists as much as this is about accessing Alaska's OIL…

Think about it. It's a perfect pawn. Checkmate.

Stepford. Candidate.

Aaaaamen, Dude.

Dude, I'm with you on the Obama comment that it's a private matter. However, remember that part of the platform of the conservative entails involving themselves in private people's personal busines with THEIR kids by deciding LEGALLY what decisions can be made for said PERSONAL situations. Can't have it both ways. I don't believe in hounding the kids, no…but in many ways they made it about the personal lives when they chose/choose to invade the decision making process of a personal life. To them I say..stay the fuck out of it and tend to your own, as apparently you have your own mess to contend with, mmmmkay?

And that's all I have to say 'bout that. (tm Forrest, that lovable lug)

jay actually made a kind of sentient point there… on one hand it's fine if your kid gets knocked up, but yeah, don't turn around and act like you can make decisions for an entire country regarding boundaries in teen sexual activity.

I don't really care if her daughter is pregnant, I just don't trust in her abilities or intelligence enough to run the country when McCain doesn't wake up from one of his 3 pm naps.

However, someone should have spent a little less time on abstinence education and a little more time on birth control, hmm?

this was dropped at the same time hurricane Gustav was about to destroy New Orleans. Coincidence?
it sorta backfired…

Stoney

What is fucking mindblowing is that a politically inexperienced infant like Barack has been nominated for President of the United States of America?

I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that if one of Obama's underaged ho's was pregs people would be running out to give him some sort of an award for his bravery and being a good father by accepting this unmarried, pregnant child's spwan.

Ouch swordfish! We call children under 10 years old HOs????

I think you need a good ol' deebo beatdown, oh, and the "redneck" up top as well…

STM, I hope you don't mind…

SWORDFISH VS. FUCKIN REDNECK
THUNDERDOME!!!!!

Wait… I think I did that wrong.

FUCKIN REDNECK SWORDFISH VS. 10 YEAR OLD HOS…
THUNDERDOME!!!!!

I am just not cut out for doing the Thunderdome announcements.

STM, ball's in your court.

I don't get the "this johnston" bit in the headline.

Sar, I got it but I think it would've made more sense if it had read: "Daily News Really Likes this Johnston Fella." Or "… this Johnston character." or "…. this Douchebag Hockey Player."

Sarah-I like the 2nd one best.

I don't get the argument that everything that Obama does is somehow glorified in the media - he has gotten some ridiculous scrutiny over his religion and if he's patriotic enough. No other candidate has had to prove their religion or patriotism.

The media is pretty positive on McCain too.
Anyway…
Someone needs to scrutinize this ladies' resume. They say she didn't even get her passport until she became Governor. She's only been out of the country once! That's some scary ish.

I just read that he is being flown in to join the family at the RNC. I knew they would spin this.

Leave these kids alone you fucking low lifes

juke: you must have retarded babies.

really simple. Trig is hers as well as this one baby. It will be her second child. the family is shady and dishonest and weird. Living up there will do screwed up things to your mind. just 'fes up and say"yes, she is pregnant (again) and I don;t care what you all think. so." Instead, you have some 1950's stupid secret going. Congratulations. You lied and lied some more. Good job. Great.

I'd hit that boy in a second. Wow. Hot! FUCKIN' HOT!

white trash republiKKKAn redneck scumbags at their finest! fucking crackers.
