Recently, a left wing commentator named Keith Olbermann attacked me for being a spokesperson for abstinence education and for being an Ambassador for the Candies Foundation, which promotes teen pregnancy awareness and prevention education. He went so far as to call me "the worst person" he knows, apparently, for my efforts to educate teenagers about the real world risks of premarital sex.
Accusing me of hypocrisy is by now, an old canard. What Mr. Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with insincere incredulity. Mr. Olbermann fails to understand that in order to have credibility as a spokesperson, it sometimes takes a person who has made mistakes. Parents warn their children about the mistakes they made so they are not repeated. Former gang members travel to schools to educate teenagers about the risks of gang life. Recovered addicts lecture to others about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse. And yes, a teen mother talks about the benefits of preventing teen pregnancy.
I have never claimed to be perfect. If that makes me the "worst person in the world" to Mr. Olbermann, then I must apologize for not being absolutely faultless like he undoubtedly must be.
To Mr. Olbermann let me say this: you can attack me all you want. But you will not stop me from getting my message out about teen pregnancy prevention. And one day, if you ever have a daughter, you may change your mind about me.
Bristol Palin
I heard that his EX “girlfriend” was actually chaz bono.

"Grow up, Mr. Olbermann."
Well. there’s no surprise that you, Mr. Oratorious Maximus, would know it, but a dumb hick like Bristol from the Alaskan sticks.....well, one can understand that some words may not carry that far north and be susceptible to the cold.
Are you insane? I think you guys have PDS, because when it comes to her and her family, all logic and reason go out the window. These people choose to be in the public eye. and refuse to take criticism. I think it’s incredibly immature for Bristol to be responding to her critics. If you are sure what you are doing is right, WHY ON EARTH DO YOU CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK? I know I am talking to the wall..but everytime a member of the Palin family does something like this, her chances of becoming President get less and less, whether you like it or not. I do not want a tabloid President. I don’t. I’m beginning to put Bristol in the same category as Megan McCain. Not in philosophy, but in that crazy need to be in the spotlight. ENOUGH.
I’ll lay it on the line for you, Bozo:
You could be suspended indefinitely from FR.
Most of us would breathe a sigh of relief.
Hildy, in case you haven’t noticed, we have a tabloid president right now. He and Moochie are the perfect tabloid trash.
No, they are nothing compared to the Palins. My point is how all rational thinking goes out the window here on FR when it comes to Sarah Palin and her family.
What, exactly, are you threatening?
What, exactly, are you threatening?
...what rubbish...
Well, about half of the responders to my post AGREE with me, so one mans rubbish is another mans treasure. It doesnt even remotely sound like anything a young lady her age would write and she and he advisors should IGNORE the crapola written about her.
For thought crimes right?
Hildy, I am bewildered by your question. Did I threaten anyone? or anything?
I was making a joke that the last stage of PDS may be the condition the fellow was in who was so enraged by the sight of Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars that he shot his television set.
Maybe I’m not as funny as I think I am.
snort* snicker*
When it comes to the Palins you're certifiable.
