Normally I have a dim view of Bristol trying to be a celeb (I know, I know, she’s barely out of her teens, etc.), but when I watched her show up against the harpies, I was impressed with her demeanor and how she answered the bristling lib conclave. I think she has a lot of grace and I wish her well.
It appears as though she's a chip off the old block, in that way. Perhaps one day she'll become a real asset to the conservative cause.
I read her book, and I think that her story rings true. She obviously has the same heart that her mother has, but maybe a little less tame. It reads like a Jane Austen novel at times, with Levi worming his way back into her life constantly, and Bristol thinking hopefully that she can somehow give Tripp her dad and keep him from the stigma of a broken home. Two things make that impossible, Levi is a mouthbreather, and he has the moral compass of a viper. Bristol is a good kid, and her story is one that every teenaged girl needs to read.
