Please take a look at Bristol’s recent blog posts for her story, not the media’s story of what really happened last month:

I understand that the CNN host who laughed at my daughter describing her assault has issued an apology to Politico. (Why Politico needs an apology is anyone’s guess. No one at CNN contacted my family regarding an apology, in case you were wondering. CNN contacts us directly on a regular basis with inquiries and requests for comment, so it’s not for lack of contact information that they didn't reach out. But perhaps Carol Costello should phone Martin Bashir. He knows how to reach us.)
What happened on the night in question wasn’t funny. It was humiliating and frightening. The broken ribs, black eyes, and messed up elbows and knees suffered by people in our party that night were no laughing matter. Neither were Bristol’s bruises on her arms and leg from being dragged by a man. My kids aren’t proud of what happened, nor are they seeking sympathy by playing the victim card – that’s why they haven’t commented on this for all these weeks. Instead, they had to have faith that the truth would come out, despite those who did the cold-cocking actually using social media to brag, “’bout to get famous!” Screen shots of tweets captured their bold intentions, and they’ve certainly enjoyed the publicity.
Looking at the reports, it strikes me as bitterly ironic that the same people who tell us there is a “war on women” have no problem laughing at the recording of my daughter crying as she tells police about being assaulted by a man. I’d like to say shame on the media and those on the left laughing at her or at any young woman in a similar situation, but I no longer think they have any shame.
Now Todd and I are headed to an exciting middle school girl’s basketball game along with dozens of other families proud to cheer on their daughters.
- Sarah Palin
Is Sarah talking about the Carol Costello at CNN who had several vaginal reconstructions and in the end had to go with a bovine transplant??
I would like to take Palin’s side in this, but one thing that bothers me is that the police reports (which I read) - not comments by hostile journalists or party attendees - described Bristol and Track as “extremely drunk” when police arrived, and the impression I have is that they were already drunk when they ARRIVED at the party, and that they came to the party in a car WITH THEIR PARENTS. If true, that is certainly very bad judgment on the part of Sarah Palin and her husband.
Ping to Sarah's Amazing List!
This is from Sarah herself.
Sarah's statement from Facebook on this post.
When women get in a heavy handed and very physical altercation and scum on both the left and the right take a hearty chuckle from injury, isn't that a sign of a sociopath?
Instead of my Abbott and Costello jokes, I should be making references to Joffery Baratheon.
Talk about a War on Women!
It is the Holy Grail of Liberal Feminism to be successful, strong, fearless, competent, independent, self secure and effortlessly the equal of any man in the room.
This what the liberals women aspire to but deep in their heart of hearts they know they never will be, no matter how hard they try.
Sarah Palin is all of the above, but is at the same time attractive,feminine , articulate and personable - traits notably lacking in Liberal Feminists.
Feminists hate Palin because she is everything they aspire to be but never will be and she does it with effortless grace.
In an earlier time, Palin’s detractors would be called out for what they plainly are, petty and catty little bitches who are green with envy because she has what they want but don't have.
They hate her more because her choice not to abort a child she knew to be handicapped shames those of them who aborted perfectly healthy children as matter of simple convince and self centeredness in a society where children for adoption in in demand.
They hate Bristol Palin the most of all because she was a single teen mother who refused to abort her baby to “prevent being punished with a baby that would hold her back” and who, despite being a single teen mother without an Ivy League college degree is far more successful, poised and articulate than most of her elitist Ivy League peers in the feminist sisterhood and she is well on her way to showing up the emerging class of young feminists in the same way her Mom does to the current generation of bitter, disillusioned feminist NAGS who have plenty of bicycles in their lives but lack a stable relationship with a man who is worth a damn.
Most of all, the elite feminists have nothing but contempt for all of us rubes and yokels living in fly over country (even if they live in fly over country themselves) and to them the Palins exemplify the yokels in fly over country America.
And yet the Plains show these elitist snobs up time after time and ultimately end up putting the snobs in their place.
Sarah Palin is one of the first the woman in America who is truly qualified to be President and she is not only not one of them, she is the antithesis to everything these smug, self satisfied, ambitious harridans aspire to be, and yet she has everything they want but can never have.
For this the Palins will never be forgiven.
