I don’t think Sarah Palin has too much traditional family value room to be scolding her daughter. The Palins were married Aug 29, 1988, Track was born April 20, 1989. Unless severely premature, Sarah Palin was 7 weeks pregnant when they married.
“Sources tell me that the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee is furious about her daughter’s decision and thinks Bristol is making the biggest mistake of her life — despite the fact that she and Todd eloped in 1988 without telling their parents.
So what’s the appropriate punishment? Do we force Sarah and Bristol to wear read A’s on their clothing or do we need to stone them just to be sure?
Todd and Sarah had been sweethearts since high school. Their romance had already survived Sarah’s five years away at college and they were both twenty-four when they tied the knot.
Gee hadn't even heard MSNBC break that news.
That's eight months by my count. The Relief Society used to keep a calendar of all the newly weds and their first born. I haven't seen that kind of lowminded prudishness since the 1980's .
