Palin Says New Parents Levi and Bristol 'Working Their Butts Off'
FOXNews.com ^ | 1/1/09

Posted on 01/02/2009 7:20:53 AM PST by Slings and Arrows

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says both her 18-year-old daughter Bristol, who gave birth to son Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Saturday, and fiance Levi Johnston are working hard to balance schoolwork with their new parental obligations, People Magazine reported.

"You need to know that both Levi and Bristol are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time," the Alaska governor told the magazine in a phone message. "They are certainly not high school dropouts."

Any suggestion to the contrary "harms Bristol's reputation and Levi's reputation and their chances for good work opportunities," Pail said.

Governor, there's no need to tell us. This is one of those situations in which time reveals all.

The way parenthood has impacted these two kids will become plain for all to see in 6, 12, 18 months and longer and there'll be no need for explanations or spin. The success or failure of their relationship will be obvious.

It IS just a figure of speech. I’ve lived in Chicago, and believe me, people there have plenty of ***.

Bush flipped the bird into the camera and Cheney just a few days ago firmly stood by his "f*ck off" remark he once said to Leahy... and you can bet that Eisenhower used real expletives more than once.

Yet, somehow "butt" makes Palin "unpresidential"... Get real.

Do you honestly think that negative articles concerning Governor Palin are going to stop regardless of what she says publically?

The phrase, "their butts", wouldn't be surprising out of his yap, but perhaps folks in major league politics would be advised to drop the the term in favor of, perhaps, "their fannies"......LOL

In the UK, "fanny" means something a lot worse than rear end.

Don’t forget W giving Angela Merkel an unwanted backrub. I can’t help it if all those numbnuts (especially Clinton) want to define down the office of the president. It’s still not right, and it isn’t good for the country.

I'm all for decorum, but I think this is all a tempest in a teapot.

In butcher shops, you see "butts" and people order them. On military bases in the field, you see "butt cans" labeled as such for expended cigarettes. Sometimes, a person can become the "butt" of a joke.

Governor Palin said "butt." Much ado about nothing.

So once the baby is conceived, by her choice or by an “accident” of the biology of teenage lust -

then what? Live in shame forever? In your small mind, I would suppose so.

People with attitudes like yours give “social conservative” a real bad taste in the mouth. People with attitudes like yours, with only a slighly different upbringing, see justice in stoning women and rape victims to death for adultery (”they should have kept their legs together....what will society become if we do not punish them?”)

People like you would have killed Mary the mother of Christ if Joseph had not protected her with his name and honor.

yeesh. You are no more a “social conservative” than Obama, who would see an unwanted conceived and even a live born child as a “punishment” and evidence of a shameful sin.... sex without marriage

“Out of wedlock pregnancy”- stupid and often in these times- very very VERY selfish. But not always. There are circumstances where coould have walked any one of us or someone we love.

“Out of wedlock birth”- welcome the child into the world? Not you. Brand it with a scarlet letter of “B” for bastard”

“Social conservatives” with YOUR attitude contribute to the growth of ABORTION as an alternative to a lifetime of “shame”. Yes, unmarried girls would not want you “social conservatives” to look at them and see their shame- so they abort.

Shame on you.

I guess some folks can't see the forest for the trees, so they gripe about the trees.

'They' also own the internet, and its time we realized it- and even though we may not like some of the sites, etc.- we need to take it back.

Here are just a few choice posts from around the gossip blogs:

I hear Sarsh Palin sold the baby photos to PEOPLE for $250,000. They are keeping the money for themselves instead of donating to charity. Selfish greedy white trash!

Gee, when a white Republican Christian teenager has unprotected premarital sex and decides to keep the baby instead of having an abortion or giving it up for adoption–she is a role model. However, when a poor black, non-Christian democrat teenager has unprotected sex and decides to keep the baby–she is a ****, the baby a mistake, and she is responsible for the entire welfare system being in existence. Doesn’t matter if the Republican teen is also on welfare.nPalin and family are just about the biggest hypocrites around.

Ignorance personified, not one educated person in the family. Tripp as in “triple”, one “p”, is a preppy nickname for a child born “the third”, as with “Trey”. They are NOT real names. It’s like naming a boy Junior. One calls ones son “Trip” or “Trey” if the father and grandfather of the exact same name are still living. If Levi’s father was named Levi, they could have named the baby Levi, then called him Trip. Hillbillies! One does NOT use these nicknames on birth certificates. No doubt the parents of Tripp Easton Mitchell mistakenly believe they have given their son a “classy” appellation. The family is a joke.

The kid’s (18 years young) second child and her mother is PROUD? TRUE, folks. THIS IS MISERY IN AMERICA!!

sarah Palin is a freak . I’m sure her daughter gets the nanny Sarahs own son has . to save their ” hard earned money !!!” lol its a joke I mean come on its a freakshow an uncle plays with his nef thats freaky and not worth to copy she should be burned for supporting this mess . both babies will have probs to deal with it . shall trip scream ” uncle uncle where are you ? ” in kindergarden ?Bristol lives with her mommy in the tax pais villa . She doesnt need to pay for anything mommy surely knows how to get the money from all tax payers for her lil girly baby . Bristol gets everything for free. I would also be proud when I knew the taxes are not wasted only given to my daughter loooooooooooll Palin is a freak and for sure knows how to get tax relieves for her poor daughter . she needs everything from the state support because she is so poor

When will this white trash, Palin, welfare family go away.

Typical white trash. Sarah Palin needs to teach her daughter to keep her legs closed. If Britol is so horny that she insists on ******** boys at her age, then at least practice safe sex. I cannot understand these teenage girls who spread their legs and make babies without thinking of the consequences. Now this little famewhore thinks the world OWES her because she is an unwed teenage drop-out. That kind of entitled attitude speaks volumes about Sarah Palin’s “parenting”.

And yet “they” continue to fire cheap shots at teenagers who choose to bear babies instead of aborting them, teenagers who choose GED/work instead of classroom,

Agreed! And they continue to ignore one V.P.'s kid and brother who are under indictment for hedge fund fraud..........

We have better things to do than posting gutter trash on gossip forums or youtube comments. Taking back, yes. Indulging in the same crap they do, no.

I was glad to see “People” was willing to pay $300,000 for the baby pictures. That financial windfall, if structured wisely, will give Bristol and the baby a cushion as they make their way through life

At least, I hope it is paid so that the baby and Bristol retain control and benefit, not young Levi and his drug-addled mother - he is looking like real poor husband material at this point in his immature life.

I figure the media earned mega bucks trashing Bristol Palin, who had NO recourse. So more power to her if she gets $300K for baby pictures.

"Everyone in Alaska works their butts off!"

Sorry to break it to you but Alaska has become a welfare/entitlement state. The street smart parasites from Oregon, Washington and even kalifornia have washed up on the shores of Los Anchorage. They have a network that can get a new "resident" signed onto medicaid, child support, this support and that support in a matter of days. I see it routinely. I'm told that the average Anchorage resident has only lived there for THREE years. How do you think the socialist Anchorage mayor mark begich just got elected to the senate from Alaska? Then again we have the yearly give away called the permafund dividend which last year paid out over 15K for a family of five (thanks to SP).

It's not appropriate

You're absolutely right! She should have said something along the lines of "..Their enhanced physical activity both at home and in their classrooms has resulted in a reduction of their posteriors and gluteus maximi........."

That sounds much better doesn't it?
