Huh? They should have nothing to do with that SOB Levi who dumped Bristol then went tabloid on them. 'encourage her to find a husband'? Huh? Maybe take out an ad? 'let Todd go to work?.. another Huh? His job is seasonal..
Sometimes I think Debbie needs to find a new hobby...
Relying on People magazine for what is actually going on in the household is really stupid.
Tanning? As in making leather? ;)
This is not the name of the article. The article name is And the Award for the Most Whipped Man in American Politics Goes To . . .”
The device has yet to be invented that could measure the miniscule amount of indifference I have to this “story” or this “reporter” or, most especially, this rag it’s printed in...
She is RIGHT ON!
excerpt:
Way to discourage teen sex and promote abstinence. If you have sex, you might get pregnant. But then your dad will quit his job and stay home and raise your baby, while you go tanning.
Yes, we’ve found a winner. Todd Palin, most whipped man in America. Whipped not just by wifey. But by baby mama daughter, too.
Sorry, but no matter how much conservatives try to turn their principles upside down for the Palins and suddenly support the Mr. Mom lifestyle, facts are facts. And one fact is that gender role blurring isn’t good for America.
Remember, matriarchies fail. There isn’t a single one that has survived history, despite what feminists want you to believe. And being a Mr. Mom has to be one of the most emasculating jobs in America. Men whose wives bring home the bacon while they stay at home and change diapers are generally not happy and don’t do this out of choice. Men who do this simply don’t have the power in their relationship. The chick does. Double all of that with men whose wives AND daughters have put them in that position.
Todd Palin . . . Doing the job that some Americans (Sarah and, now, Bristol Palin) just won’t do.
We don’t need THIS as a role model family.
Todd and Sarah should be ashamed.
Both she REQUIRE Bristol raise her own child.
What kind of nut makes this kind of statement?
I thought I was on Free Republic. Looks more like DU or Kos.
Perhaps if the Palins had tanned Bristol’s hide more when she was a toddler and small girl, the young lady would be able to tan her own hide today without the use of Dad as a babysitter.
Schlussel is a failed politician, unmarried, childless, no wonder she is so bitter about Palin. Palin has everything poor dumb Debbie ever wanted. I saw this piece of tripe in Google Alerts, and didn’t bother reading it then, or now.
Boy, I just CAN’T get enough Bristol Palin news.
I want to know the name of the gym she attends, and more importantly what she is wearing. When does she go? Does she bring tap water or bottled water? And does she drive to the gym????
And its important that someone has connected the fact that Todd Palin is sacraficing a $100,000/year job to cover Bristol Palin’s tanning habit...even though a $5/hour babysitter for two hours/day would probably cover the situation. And that’s exactly why Todd Palin is staying home...so Bristol Palin can tan. Yes, I’m glad we have all-knowing reporters on-the-scene!
Thank you Debbie Schlussel for keeping America informed about this highly important topic.
Oh Please....She’s quoting People Magazine...a rag..almost tabloid magazine.
Could it be that Todd Palin likes his grandkid?? Makes excuses to stay home and watch the grandkid while she “Gets” to go tan?? Perhaps he enjoys being a granddad....
Todd knows what it means to be a dad unlike the no account levi, who doesn’t step up and do his part to support or care for his own child. Doesn’t he even want to know and care for his own child?? SAD situation......
IDIOCY.
Tanning is practically a necessity when you live in Alaska, both for the necessary vitamin D, and also an attitude adjustment; lack of sunlight makes you depressed.
Do people here not realize that they live in “the land of the Midnight Sun”?
I repeat....abject idiocy.
What Debbie is saying is that in general non-traditional families haven't worked well and there are sound reasons conservatives haven't supported such arrangements. Whether it's Mr. Mom, single motherhood or gay parenting, we all know they are not good for the children. So Debbie's point is not just about the Palin family but about how conservatives have been willing to overturn all they hold near and dear to sanction behavior (for this particular family) they would never countenance in other circumstances. And there's a name for it.

Aaaand the demediacrats continue their destruction of zer0’s greatest threat. After what they did to Ronaldus Magnus (Reagan, not the FReeper), I don’t believe a word of their spin and outright lies about any Conservative.
Extrapolating from a story by someone with PDS isn’t very productive.
Conservatives are very particular about family structure unlike the libtards who think Bill and Hillary are the archetypical structure! Newt blew it, and Palin is great, but surrounded by a questionable family structure.
