BULL! Palin is the baby’s GRANDMOTHER! Bristol was out for 5-8 months of school supposedly with mono? All at the same time Palin was supposedly pregnant? Palin flies for 8 hours after her water broke, doesn’t go to a hospital in Anchorage, but a drives ANOTHER 45 minutes to a hospital in Wasilla, her home town? Spare me! Watch, now Bristol will lose the baby, but still stay married to the boy, Levi. Mark my word!
Kitchen and the bedroomSeptember 1st, 2008 - 11:44 pm
Are you kidding me?
Palin was the BEST choice for VP.
Give me a break, all the available conservative men out there and McCain’s advisors select her??
Now more BS.
The VP needs to spend more time as a full time VP. The USA ain’t Alaska or a small city to govern.
Please Sara, use this as a stepping stone to step down and get back into the Kitchen and finish raising your Down Syndrome baby and granddaughter.
Wake up people, the VP position is not the job for the ordinary citizen, 5 kids, 17 year old preg., infant with Down Syndrome. She will be traveling and meeting with heads of state.
As a republician, we need to set the example and that is a MOTHER stays home and takes care of the children (family) and Husband, then herself. Until all are complete then she will have time for herself. That is what is wrong with this country, the family values are gone.
poormsw-
I agree with you that it doesn’t matter. As far as “what dems say” you are right there too. BUT – lets take your example…
“If Biden’s daughter was “punished with a baby†at 17, would anyone in the…”
that’s just the thing. IF that happened, what would the REPUBLICANS, and especially the evangelical crowd, say?!! you know this would be run up the flag poll and you see “DEMOCRAT FAMILY VALUES” plastered every which way between Florida to Alaska. hypocritical much?
BubbaSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 1:26 am
hey JC-
take it easy. evangelicals are people too okay? They can be hypocrites just like anyone!
JanetSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 1:31 am
So What! Bill Clinton has over 140 illigitamate children most of which he made the mother’s throw off a bridge. One of the daughters is Michele Obama which is why she Hates Whitey so much. She got thrown off the bridge but landed on a passing ship carrying a load of American Flags and this is what we get in gratitude.
It’s cold in Alaska but Sara heats the place up. She is Hot, hot, hot. Not only a MILF but soon a GILF. You go girrrrl!

Is this person the one you want to see a “heartbeat away” from being Commander-in Chief? Have they demonstrated the sort of right thinking leadership in ways that give you confidence that they are ready to rumble on the world stage? As someone experienced with special needs children, I have to comment that parents of kids with special needs are under enormous pressure, from without and within, especially during the early years of the child’s growth. Between mothering a 17 year-old who’s about to grow up very fast, and mothering a newborn with Downs Syndrome, I question the ability of anyone – including this candidate – to be able to focus fully on their “day job”. In this case, that day job is way too big a deal to take a chance.
WHETHER HER DAUGHTER PREGNAT OR NOT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SARA PALIN ABILITIES TO DO HER JOB THIS JUST SHOWS AMERICANS THAT SHE AND HER FAMILY ARE JUST LIKE THE REST OF US THAT DON’T WALK AROUND LIKE THEY ARE HOLIER THAN THOU TO BE HUMAN IS ERR HER DAUGHTER IS NOT RUNNING FOR OFFICE BESIDES ITS ONLY BECAUSE SHE IS A GIRL WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE MEN THAT WERE IN THAT MADAMES BLACK BOOK HER LIFE SARA PALIN’S BOOK IS OPEN FOR ALL TO SEE

She’s still better than McCain’s first choice, Joe Lieberman.
Trooper Wooten should be locked up for 20 yearsSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 3:48 am
Trooper Wooten is the worst trooper in Alaska, a total jerk!!
Troopergate:
The accuser is blogger and rental car executive Andrew Halcro, a Republican-turned-Independent who lost to Palin in the 2006 governor’s race.
The accused is Palin, the rising Republican star with a clean-hands reputation who has the most to lose.
The man in the middle is Monegan, who says Palin never told him to fire the trooper.
Then there’s trooper Mike Wooten, who used a Taser on his stepson, Palin’s nephew Payton. Wooten has been reprimanded for violating nearly a dozen laws and departmental policies since December 2001.
Trooper Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.
Wooten illegally shot a moose.
Wooten drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
Wooten told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet†if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.
Wooten is 35, a state trooper since March 2001 and an Air Force veteran. He’s a father of young children who has been married and
****divorced four times.****
Trooper Wooten recently gave his union permission to release the entire investigative file, all 482 pages and hours of recorded interviews.
“The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession,†Col. Julia Grimes, then head of Alaska State Troopers, wrote in March 1, 2006, ****** letter suspending Trooper Wooten for 10 days.****** After the union protested it, the suspension was reduced to five days.
***** Col. Julia Grimes warned that if Wooten messed up again, he’d be fired. *****
“This discipline is meant to be a last chance to take corrective action,†Grimes wrote. “You are hereby given notice that any further occurrences of these types of behaviors or incidents will not be tolerated and will result in your termination.â€

Wolf Blitzer CNN owes Palin an apology, CNN is reporting the troopergate story as if Palin broke a law.
FIRE WOLF BLITZER!!!!!!
and
CNN should donate $10 million to a charity of Palin’s choice.

Hillary Clinton was quoted saying after being asked about Sarah Palin, “I’LL GET YOU MY PRETTY, AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO!!! EEEEHHHHEEEEHHHEEHHEHEHEHEHEH”!!!!!!!
D-ManSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 5:07 am
Congrats to the Palin family. Although I’m sure this wasn’t planned, Bristol was raised properly and made the right decision to have the baby and marry Levi. They just grew up real quick now. Its good to know the Palins are no different than any American family, and they dealt with it in a responsible manner, just as Sarah did upon finding out that her own son has DS. My prayers are with them and I’m hoping Bristols pregnancy goes well. As for the Wooten post above, this info is all a matter of public record, and well known in most circles in Alaska. Of course it doesn’t fit Wolf Blitzer and the CNN Duet’s template to report those facts. As the old saying goes, a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its sneakers tied.
BubbaSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 5:15 am
D-Man,
I agree with you. However, this is all well and fine for Palin. But what does this say about McCain and his vetting process? Sorry but, this does seem to be a bit of a fumble.
grikSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 5:24 am
Who cares. We all know evangelicals are just as horny as the rest of the world. They just sound like hypocrits when they get busted because they run around pointing out the supposed faults of everyone else for sport.
There are better reasons to think Palin’s choice is a joke.
Bill ChicagoSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 5:44 am
McCain knew about it when he picked her. It is of no political consequence.
poormswSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 6:07 am
Are you people for real? This has NO baring on her pick for VP. If Biden’s daughter was “punished with a baby” at 17, would anyone in the Dem. party say it mattered? NO! It’s a non-issue. If anything it proves that she is a normal mom with unfortunely all too normal family issues. As a libertarian, i have to say to anyone who thinks this matters…go get your own house in order and leave her’s alone. At least she doesn’t have a “wide stance” in a bathroom stall or have an baby that isn’t hers that she visists secretly in a hotel room at 2 am. More important issues are going on, I think we can all agree!!!!
It doesn’t matter. McCain would have picked who ever was the Gov. of Alaska. HE WANTS THE OIL!! Alaska has oil reserves galore, and Canada and Russia are getting ready to pump tons of it. Thats why Bush has agreed to open up the Wildlife refuge to Exxon. Get a grip People! Every major State and federal official in Alaska is under investigation for Oil company kickbacks. Gov. Palin is happy to add one more person to her clan probably due to the fact that every person in her state recieves a $2,000.00 check every year from Exxon!!!

Abstinence education in action. Or, maybe she’s another Virgin Mary? It’s uncanny how a woman picked to appeal to the fundamentalist base, and who would presume to know what is best for other families when it comes to family planning, has a pregnant teenage daughter. Too rich.
KOS_GeniusSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 8:08 am
Told you! KOS kids rule!
Party on!
Mike MSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 2:55 pm
Bubba: “vetting process”??? Only an uninformed ignoramus would say that; Sarah Palin TOLD McCain about her daughter’s family way before he picked her.
jbh50September 2nd, 2008 - 4:05 pm
This just makes the Palin family even more real in the eyes of the voters. Its not uncommon for a teen to get pregnant. It is uncommon for that teen to have the baby. That is another example of authenticity in the Palin family.
BlackGirlSpeaksSeptember 2nd, 2008 - 5:59 pm
I’m shocked that she is actually having this baby because STUPID, DRUNK, SHOW MY BOOBS, SLEEP AROUND White chicks usually have multiple ABORTIONS during their tween, teen and college years. Then they have this look of shock when they get married and can’t have babies the NATURAL way because they’ve abused their UTERUS. To cover it up they lie to their husbands that they don’t know why they either can’t concieve or their WOMB can’t carry the baby to term and they miscarry. At least black women have their babies and not KILL them!
Typical BlacksSeptember 4th, 2008 - 12:44 am
Yeah, 14 year old black women have their babies, and have them, and have them, and have them. None of them with any hometraining, eating greasy food called “Soul food”, All different daddys, which one who knows? Then they end up on Jerry Springer trying to DNA their way out of it. Then the mammy teaches the youngins how to fill out the welfare and food stamp forms. When the girls turn 14, it starts all over again, generation after generation, on welfare, complaining about the white people. The best that can happen to them is they start on drugs and OD by the time they are 22. Oh happy day!
