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.

Did you read what Bristol said?

described Bristol and Track as “extremely drunk”

Even if true, that excuses assaulting Bristol?

Yes it is! Those Palin kids who are in their 20's should be taken away from Sarah Palin and her husband and placed under protective custody of the Vice President of the United States of America. He would do a heckuva lot better raising these poor children in their twenties.

Anything less would be very bad form on the heads of Sarah Palin and her husband! Sham! Sham!

Is it illegal to be drunk?

Why? Are they minors?
