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"?)...

And, Steve-b has consistently proven himself to be someone here to annoy.
I guess her mother never taught her that the best sentence to use to lose friends and make enemies is “I told you so.”
Sure, while it's a free country, Bitch!

That’s right who cares. She is a private citizen and people should MYOB. Perhaps she had taught a lesson to other teens. There is truth to that old adage, “why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?” She’s lucky she has a supportive and loving family.
The same kind of people that would care if it had been Clinton’s or Bush’s daughters.
This is a particularly and unnecessarily ugly piece. Schlussel did not need to write this.
I like a good snarky comment as much as anyone; I love it when we pile on Nancy Pelosi, for example, who could be more deserving? But I wouldn’t go after her family unless its relevant, such as her business connections. I love “ugly and incendiary” when its to a political point. I love it when you’re going after someone’s political philosophy, or someone’s policy positions, or someone’s unseemly connections. I don’t like it when its gratuitous, and this strikes me as particularly gratuitous.
I love commentary that cuts down Reid and Biden and, yes, Pelosi, because they strike me as deliciously hypocritical, obtuse, in over their heads, and wrong on almost every issue. Biden’s son getting paid for access to his dad, that seems pretty relevant. But I will not go after them on the basis of some personal, private crisis. I won’t do it. I’ve got personal and private, and I don’t want it to be grist for anyone’s mill. So I won’t do it to anyone else.
The Dems do it all the time, digging into supposedly sealed records, digging into an enemy’s private pain, and splashing it all over page one. They’ve been particularly vicious in going after Palin, and every other conservative to catch their attention before her. Thats what they do. But I hate it, and I don’t know why Schlussel felt the need to join in.
Its always interesting to me, to notice when the Dems start beating the drums, which Repubs get up and start dancing.
Does the Bible say something about locking late teens in a basement to prevent consensual sex with boyfriends?
I know Sarah taught these principals to Bristol but alas, Bristol made a mistake (as the Bible says we will do).
I love glass houses... They are typically broken from the inside.
I agree. Some kids are just intent on screwing up their lives, not matter what advantages they’ve been given.
It could be a way of acting out, a sort of protest against their family’s values ... or just a simple mistake.
In any case, I didn’t have much hope for that Levi kid when I saw him walking on the national stage with the Palins CHEWING GUM. I knew right then there was going to be trouble ahead.
Total losers whose lives are so vacuous and empty of meaning they must gossip about people they do not know and will never meet and throw crap on others to make themselves feel worthy of their next breath?
Guess so.
You really don’t think it would have been news if this were Chelsea Clinton?
LOL. Schlussel is a moron.
Yup.
Who the F@#K cares about this topic and why?
I see “conservative” News Network Fox has Schlussel labeled as a “Conservative Columnist”.
Do they do the same for their guests that are liberal columnists? Do they appropriately label “objective” reporters as “Liberally biased, but posing as an Objective Journalist”.
Go home and rattle those pots and pans, Debbie. You belong in the kitchen.
What an evil, ugly (on the inside - don’t know what she looks like on the outside) B*tch Debbie Schlussel is. Some one needs to spend time working on their people skills.
it also totally denigrates the decison of Todd Palin to be the parent who holds down the home and is there for the kids when Sarah is n business. Not to mention the fact that both extended families are all living in proximity.
Yes she has 4 other “children”
One is serving in Iraq. I don’t think he needs his mother to stay home.
Her “special child” needs attention- but people! Trig is retarded, not on LIFE SUPPORT. He’s retarded. He needs stimulation, therapy. Maybe extra feeding time and extra doctor visits.
If Todd was working and Sarah taking the kids to school, appointments and grandma’s house- would people criticize Todd Palin’s blind ambition?
