Hate to say it in this instance, but . . . . I told you so.
When I wrote a column about how Bristol Palin remains a single mother--a baby mama--and had no legitimate reason to prolong getting married, several worshippers at the alter of St. Sarahmessiah told me I was wrong, that these two kiddie-parents (the Palin daughter and boytoy Levi Johnston) would be married this summer.
But, you see, I never believed they'd be married. In fact, I thought their engagement was a fiction put on by the Palin family to help win the Presidential election. And, unfortunately, I was right. As I noted, this kid had a very pretentious name ("Tripp Easton Mitchell Johston"), but not what was far more important--a father married to his mother....
But the issue I do care about is who will be the next Republican Presidential nominee. And how so-called social conservatives continue, with a straight face, to praise baby grandmama Sarah Palin (and chose her as their conservative of the year). She was not at home, when the pregnancy happened. She was busy blindly chasing her ambitions. And this is what happens when you have a working mother and a Mr. Mom, i.e., the Palins. Now, Todd Palin can proudly wear a new title, Mr. Grand-Mom....
The only one I feel sorry for here: this kid, who has the misfortune of being born to a single mother in a family that has far more pretensions than actual good values. Good luck, Tripp. You'll need it. For your sake, I wish it were otherwise.
Sorry, kid, but you're just not the luckiest bastard on earth. Or even in Alaska.
(Hmmm . . . am I still allowed to use the word, "bastard"?)...

Astounding.
Astounding.
Maybe, maybe not. Three years is a long time. I thought I was going to vote for George Allen in 2008. He lost in 2006.
She's not my first choice, but I would support her over Romney, McCain, or Huckabee.
No Sarah fatigue here. I love her. My wife and I have discussed moving to AK and electing her Queen.
But seriously, I am pulling for her.

I’m starting to hate the left a little less. At least they stab our guys in the front.
Levi most certainly should NOT be let off the hook, either for financial or parental duties. He is the child’s father.
He should be required to provide financial support AND hand-on upbringing of the child. Fathers should take FULL responsibiity for the children they co-create, and society should expect them to. (And that means more than a paycheck.)
No good can come from extinguishing ties between children and their fathers.
Exactly. With liberals, I can see the knife coming at me. With RINOs, all I feel is it thrust in my back.
But she apparently can't slap the chewing gum out of a ill-bred high school kids' mouth before he goes out on a national stage representing her family.
Debbie please mind your own business. You will feel much better about life if you do.
I think we should discuss it because it is what is being said and what is GOING to be said. I’m not a stick my head in the sand kinda girl.
You never did answer my question. What would you have us do? Simply ask you what we should say and otherwise shut up?
I think all discussion is great. But not in the way its happening here lately. It becomes counter productive. Now answer my question.
I do not think you are even supposed to ask
her.
Just shut up.
Read before you post next time, genius. Might want to take some of your own advice.
So you believe this bloggers opinion has merit to be discussed because other people are saying it? Bloggers are also insisting Bristol is Trig’s mom. Should we discuss that too?
And that would be OK too. Geez.
