Sarah Palins teenage daughter angrily denounced reports today that she was to blame for breaking up with the father of her two-month-old son.
Bristol Palin, the daughter of last years controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate, responded after it emerged that she and her fiancé, Levi Johnston, had split up.
The story first emerged in the tabloid Star magazine, which quoted Mr Johnstons sister Mercedes saying that Ms Palin and her mother were to blame for the break-up. The couple had been due to marry this summer.
Levi tries to see Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible, Mercedes Johnston is quoted as saying.
She tells him he cant take the baby to our house because she doesnt want him around white trash. The worst part, Ms Johnston tells the magazine, is that Governor Palin supports her daughters treatment of Mr Johnston.
Ms Palin said in a statement issued through her mothers political action committee that she was devastated by the report in Star. Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do things to cash in on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth.

Both families need to stop talking to the media. The media should show some decency and leave these families alone. However, I hold out no hope for that.
I wonder when Mrs. Johnston is due in court? She needs to stop talking to the media because they would love to bury her.

not a good idea...
maybe not but it’s going to go political, you may as well get on the offensive
C’mon, Gov. You’re smarter than that. Don’t let them draw you into it.
Is she?
I once thought not. I was wrong.
why is this news?

Hey Palin and Levi, take it to the Jerry Springer show.
Levi is a fool if he let’s go of that treasure of a girl .
She will be a wonderful mother and a great wife and has a very solid family they can all depend on . Bristol on the other hand is making a huge mistake if indeed she is becoming haughty and controlling (which I doubt) Levi seems like a great guy . Handsome , motivated and he loves his son.
They would make a wonderful couple. I suggest that they stop all the fussing ,and take any problems they have before the Lord right away , go ahead and get married and stop talking to the media . It would help if the Palins and the Johnstons got together and had BBQ’s and did stuff together on some regular basis as well . Just ‘be family’ ,it’s easy
but now Sarah’s political future will be tied to Bristol’s personal issues
My only disappointment is that the First Dude didn’t exercise some Shotgun Diplomacy when this first hit the fan. The guy isn’t denying paternity but that would have made damn sure he’s on the hook for child support and divorces are easier maybe than putting up with all this crap.
But hell, it’s their call, their life. And it’s not like the same thing hasn’t happened 500,000 times in the last few months, so move along people...
“But hell, its their call, their life. And its not like the same thing hasnt happened 500,000 times in the last few months, so move along people...”
you may want to stay far far away from any supermarket counter for the next couple years... :/
Let these two work their problems out without press interference.
The MSM is taking the same approach to Sarah Palin as the Romans did with Carthage in the final Punic War. They want to destroy her utterly, and make sure she’s so toxic (plowing the land with salt, so to speak) politically she can never hope for a comeback. They see her daughter’s troubles as the best way to do that at the moment.
It’s not working with me, chumps. The more you attack Sarah, the more I know I was right to support her.
You mean how Ronald Reagan was tied into what his kids did. Have we forgotten Patti Davis posing for Playboy..no one seemed to make that into an issue. Bristol is just a kid who made stupid choices in her life, just like millions of other teenagers, and even adults do every single day

(Seriously, when will Free Republic END this infatuation with GOSSIP?)
"Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth.Yeah Sarah and sometimes the drive for power clouds good judgment and the truth.
Would you let your child go to a drug dealer’s house...even if said drug dealer was his grandma? This entire saga could have been avoided with a little self-discipline.
