Bristol Palin: 'I Talk About Abstinence, Then I'm Out in My Underwear'

Aw shucks Ma...not in front of all the freepers!

[derllak]

Respect is something to be earned. So far, I haven’t seen her do anything that warrants respect.

I’m sure Bristol is a nice girl, but she won’t earn my respect until she does something worthwhile with her life instead of riding on mommies coattails for a living.

Going to college and getting an education would be a good start.

C’mon, Bristol, show us you’ve got brains!

[FrankR]

Poor Bristol...she's the only teen in America that "embarasses" her mother...

With the crap Sarah has had to put up with, I certainly don't think Bristol dancing on TV is going to bother her. In fact, from all the clips I saw, I saw a mother who is proud of her daughter - proud that she has not let the adversity of prior events send her into the depths of depression and taking refuge in a "home for unwed mothers".

As a parent, I would be super-pleased that she has held her head up high, and proceeded to take on new challenges and live her life. She can't crawl under a rock over one mistake. It's not the mistakes we make that define our lives, but the steps we take to learn from them, and to over come them.

Sara is not embarassed, not by her children. You'll have to find another angle to bash the Palins, but everytime I see them together, I see kids that adore and admire their mother.

I think Sarah is a parent first, and a celebrity/politician second. People should concentrate on fixing the leaks in their own boats before talking about others'.

The tabloids made her a celebrity, and she is justified in taking advantage of it to support her child.

<><><><><><

Well said. She is famous for being famous. Kind of like Paris Hilton without the sex and drugs. OK, without the drugs.

[Hacklehead]

“Why would you not respect Bristol ?”

I don’t dislike her, but what has she done to earn respect? Get pregnant out of wedlock? The on and off relationship with some jerkwad trying to destroy her family? Right now she’s just a dumb kid and they tend to do stupid stuff. There are not of people her age I respect.

BTW, regarding my original comment, once you get yourself knocked up you are fair game for wisecracks about pictures showing you on your back with a guy on top of you. That’s just the rules.

[theDentist]

it was "Jersey Shore's" Mike "The Situation" and his partner Karina Smirnoff who got the boot.

I don't watch this show, or Jersey Shore, but who would be nicknamed "The Situation" anyway?

[shiva]

LOL!

[Dead Corpse]

It’s only porn if it turns you on.

[roadcat]

Well said. She is famous for being famous. Kind of like Paris Hilton without the sex and drugs. OK, without the drugs.

Well, without the sex too - haven't heard of any raunchy sex tapes being released! The tabloids intruded on Bristol's life and exploited her. Once that started rolling, she could run and hide, or turn the tables and profit from it. To the tune of $250,000 - I hear that's what she is being paid for her appearance on the show. That will help support raising her child!

[Westbrook]

> It’s only porn if it turns you on.

Then there’s no such thing as gay porn, right?

Hey, if you think it’s ok for a girl to be flat on her back with her dress hiked up to her hips, and a guy on top of her, on national TV for all the world to see, then far be it from me to rain on your parade.

As for me and my house, I would be ashamed if one of my daughters was to participate in such an exhibition. I pray to God they never do.

That doesn’t make me a Mohammedan, by the way. My daughters have the freedom to make choices and demonstrate their character without any fear of me. After all, how do you know a person’s character unless they have the freedom to make choices? But I will express approval or disapproval when I deem it appropriate, without anger, and without violence.

The Bible in the New Testament calls for modest apparel, and poise, to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, and to abstain from all appearance of evil.

In my estimation, Bristol’s behavior does not fit that description. You may differ, of course, and that’s fine for you and your house. But my opinion of Bristol is not good at this time.

[Dead Corpse]

The Bible in the New Testament calls for...

Fairly certain there were some strong admonishments about leaving the judging of others to Jehovah as well.

He has the pay grade.

You don't.

[Friendofgeorge]

I suspect Bristol will be the winner

[hrh40]

Nothing to respect Bristol for?

Hmmm. Let’s see.

Decides to give her child life.
Finishes high school on time and with her class.
Starts taking business classes at the community college.
Gets full time work at a dermatologist’s office in Anchorage.
While still taking business classes.
Raises her child.
Takes a higher-paying, temporary job that will help her both raise her child and pay for her education.

Nope.

Nothing to respect here. Just move along./s

[dforest]

That is my kind of dancin’. You never get sore feet.

[W. W. SMITH]

{C’mon, Bristol, show us you’ve got brains!}

Step back!

This gig pays 400k.

How many 19 year olds have earned 400k?

400k will pay for 5.4 years( the average length of time it takes to get a four year degree) of college.

So ... it appears she does not have to depend on mom for anything. This all seems to indicate she is pretty smart.

[windcliff]

That’s what Levi said.

[derllak]

Okay, so what is Bristol’s claim to stardom?

It is called dancing with the stars, right?

She’s only famous because of mom. She’s done nothing on her own to earn it.

I’m just waiting to see what she does after “dancing”.

Will she be another Paris Hilton or forge a life of her own.

Only time will tell. I hope she does.

[jimt]

...and I called it a “wanton exhibition of bad taste”.

Describes the whole show, in my opinion.

Somehow, when taking rhumba lessons many years ago, I just don't recall laying my partner on her back.

Of course, I watch VERY little primetime TV.

[goodnesswins]

I agree...Bristol seems reluctant and very conservative compared to the rest of the dancers....and Henderson was/is an embarassment....she should have gotten the boot last week....what an old hag.

[goodnesswins]

I saw the show...THAT was not what I remembered....if it is only for a moment it’s different than a freeze frame that looks like it lasts forever.
