Bristol Palin lost her virginity while blackout drunk & on the pill

wenn33240781

At this point, we can stop with the argument that Bristol Palin is just a private citizen, right? I felt that changed long ago, even before Bristol was on Dancing With the Stars. Not only is she a “celebrity” now, we can also stop with the argument that she’s just a “child” or that she’s somehow “off limits” simply because she‘s the daughter of a politician. That ended before Dancing With the Stars too, by the way, and this current Bristol situation only underlines the point. I didn’t know this before Saturday, but Bristol has “written” a memoir. Ten bucks says she didn’t actually write it, but that’s neither here nor there. The memoir/autobiography is called Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, which I’m assuming is some kind of conscious effort to stay away from a title that could easily be made into a porn film title.

So, the publisher of Bristol’s book has been sending out advanced copies and excerpts. Because she’s so off limits and private! In the book, Bristol talks about how she lost her virginity, and SURPRISE, it’s not her fault. Shocking, I know. If it actually went down like this, I am very sympathetic towards her, but “being blackout drunk on wine coolers when she was 17 years old” maybe isn’t the most conservative excuse you could come up with:

When Bristol Palin lost her virginity, it wasn’t the romantic experience she had envisioned. In her new autobiography, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, the 20-year-old single mom reveals that, while drunk for the very first time, she lost her virginity to Levi Johnston during a camping trip.

Palin says she woke up alone in her tent, with no recollection as to what happened. Johnston, meanwhile, “talked with his friends on the other side of the canvas.”

When she confronted him about their sexual encounter, Johnston, now 21, told Palin what she wanted to hear: they wouldn’t have sex again until they were married. But, Palin writes, they became intimate again shortly after. When she learned she was pregnant in 2008, Palin was on birth control pills prescribed to treat her cramps; it took eight home pregnancy tests to convince her that she was expecting.

Palin’s parents, to her surprise, were incredibly supportive. They also reminded her to stay focused on the future, particularly her continuing education. Johnston’s reaction was less comforting. “Better be a f***ing boy,” he told her.

The memoir, co-written with Nancy French, describes Johnston (the father of Palin’s 2-year-old son, Tripp) as a “gnat” who is “constantly spreading false accusations against our family.” Palin also calls him a self-involved slacker “who cheated on me about as frequently as he sharpened his hockey skates.”

And yet, Palin writes that when her mother, Sarah, was introduced as Senator John McCain’s vice presidential pick in August 2008, being on display with Johnston “somehow legitimized us as a couple.”

After Tripp’s birth in December, Palin discovered via text message that Johnston had been cheating on her. Once Johnston admitted to the affair, they decided to break up. Eighteen months later, the couple reunited and shocked their families with an announcement: they were engaged. Shortly after, Johnston informed Plain that he had gotten another woman pregnant, which ended their relationship for good. “I’d just made a complete fool of myself and given my family the middle finger,” Palin writes.

Johnston, for his part, will share his side of the story with his own book, Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs, which arrives in bookstores this fall.

Wait, what? So she doesn’t remember losing her virginity because she was blackout drunk (her “first time” with both drinking and sex?), but she was on the pill (because of cramps…?), and she and Levi still had sex even though they both swore to wait until marriage? And in this disarray, she got pregnant. Sure. Don’t get me wrong, it happens, it happens a lot. It happens to a lot of young women and adult women. That’s the point. It happens, so why not be realistic about it, politically? Why continue to shove abstinence-only education down everybody’s throats? Why PROFIT from that message?

Some photos of Bristol’s new and old face. I kind of liked her old face better.

    This was being debated on D-listed, whether or not he raped her or what because thats a serious allegation. But I see she toed the line, insinuating but not fully saying it lest she get sued. I don’t really believe that was her first time for either of those activities (drinking & sex) but I wasn’t there. I do wish she would go raise her son and be quiet. I mean really a memoir at 20. Give me a break

  2. MollyB says:

    Just like Mom–perpetual victim. She wasn’t on the pill to keep from getting pregnant. She didn’t have sex because she was a horny teenager. She’s a victim. Also, basically, she is publicly accusing Levi of raping her (having sex with someone so drunk they could not consent is rape). I wonder if he will have a legal response to that.

  3. sandra says:

    Did we really need to know about this? Ugh. Michael K’s take on it was hilarious I must say.

  4. Lynette says:

    Ever since that ‘jaw’ correction surgery (ha!) she looks like a brunette Sarah Chalke, and it really annoys me! When I see that top picture I think it’s something about SC, and then I get this budget D-lister!

    Drunk and sex for the first time, let me just say, riiight!

  5. Kaiser says:

    Blue & MollyB – My take was that Bristol was simply trying to find a way to abdicate responsibility, not that Levi raped her. Plus, it sounds like Levi was drinking too, and he could easily claim any number of things regarding this situation – that she took advantage of him while he was drunk, that it wasn’t their first time, etc.

  6. Rubenesque says:

    Um… Why was a 17 year old high school girl on an unsupervised camping trip with a boy any way? Oh, right…. Because it’s easier to have sex! Why would she ever want to put this drivel out there anyway.

  7. You don't say says:

    I find it interesting that until whatever happened, these two nut jobs were madly in love and ready to get married–until the reality show fell through. Now he is a scum bag who literally raped her (at least that is what is insinuated) and this only comes out in her memoir. Why does a 20 year old need a memoir in the first place–oh right..for MONEY.

    John McCain is responsible for foisting this horrid family on us in the first place!!! Shame, shame, shame on him.

    Right on about the camping with your boyfriend. Same goes to concerts that includes overnight stay bc of distance etc.

  10. Lacey says:

    Honestly, I have a problem with her story. She is essentially saying that he raped her, and, if that’s true, that is a huge issue. If that is not true and she’s lying (because she thinks this version of events makes her actions sound better?), then she’s even worse that I previously thought, and Levi should sue.

  11. Blue says:

    Ya Kaiser I think you’re right. I just don’t understand why people can’t take responsibilty for their stupid actions. I know that admitting that they had sex before this and there probably wasn’t any alcohol or she wasn’t drunk wouldn’t jive with her image but really. This story just sounds awful. Btw I can’t wait for the day my teen daughter wants to spend over night with friends by herself in the woods. My mom would probably lock her in her room before I had the chance lol. I don’t want my baby to grow up.

  12. Erica says:

    I’m from Alaska and whereas overnight camping trips with a boy aren’t normal in the lower 48, it’s kind of all we have to do up here. Most things to do are outdoors, a group of you go and camp. Anyway I think she’s really toeing that rape line. I also think that she looked very aged with this new jaw, but her eye color is stunning.

  13. Mia says:

    Did I have to know this? And I agree, she’s just trying to remain blameless for losing her virginity & getting knocked up. I hate this family. Hate them.

  14. louise says:

    Is this book supposed to make Levi look bad because it just makes Bristol look like an idiot. She’s this close to accusing Levi of rape but continues to date and sleep with him. Yes you can get pregnant on the pill but it’s extremely rare. More than likely she didn’t take it correctly. The taking them for cramps makes me think that she only took them when she had cramps.

  15. Oi says:

    Can we please stop talking about them now? Lets put them on a planet with the Lohans, Kardashians and Charlie Sheen and just get rid of them.

  18. jover says:

    Politics aside I am sick of this entire family – there is nothing the least bit interesting about them – intellectually, artistically, politically – they have nothing to say, they are easy targets for lowbrow libs/progs – have any of them actually accomplished anything of note, or is our media saturated world so desperate to fill up thousands of hours per week that we must continue to bottom troll. Enough, going back to reading Wittgenstein’s Philosphical Investigations. Fully agree Oi but what planet would want this collection of doofus losers.

  19. zesty says:

    This seems so typical of young people today–nothing is ever their fault, and no one takes responsibility for their own actions. Oh yeah, I’m now officially an old person.

  20. Kimbob says:

    The ONLY thing I believe about this excerpt of her “memoir,” (I say this LOOSELY) is her description of Levi as a ‘self-involved slacker who cheated on me as often as he sharpened his hockey skates.’ Yes, I’ll throw in my ten bucks she didn’t write it, and I’ll even up the ante and throw in twenty to say she’s outright lieing about how she got knocked-up. My ASS she didn’t remember it…my ASS it was the first time both w/drinking and sex….yeah, RIGHT!

    I do agree…she cops to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Anyone who buys this book and actually believes it are simply deluded. What a waste of money.

  21. carrie says:

    it’s a rape when you have sex with an unconscious person

  22. Kloops says:

    Wow, didn’t think I could think less of useless twit, but I do. Well played, Bristol, well played.

  23. Lady D says:

    I was drunk when I lost my virginity. Am I the only one here that did that?
    Course in my case, I had been on the pill for 2 years first. I did not want children.

  24. bluhare says:

    Not to condone anything here, but a black out does not mean she was unconscious. It means she doesn’t remember what she did. She might have been acting totally (drunk) normal but just can’t remember it because she drank so much.

    Oh yeah, and I call bullshit on her jaw excuse as well. She said it was to correct her bite, not cosmetic. (HA!) I almost had that surgery and it requires braces before, jaw being wired shut for six weeks, and braces continuing. So unless she’s wearing those invisible ones, it wasn’t to correct any bite.

  25. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    And while we’re *not* accusing our exes of rape, let’s talk about how it takes a Rhodes Scholar-level intellect to get drunk to the point of blacking out while in public and underaged. They put about a thimball’s worth of alcohol in those coolers, so I maintain that if she became that inebriated it wasn’t done accidentally. Forget talking abstinence, how about alerting girls to the calculated risk that accompanies such behaviour? Not everyone is your friend, don’t put yourself in a position wherein you have that proved to you in devastating ways…or where the fabric of your narrative frequently veers into fabrication because you haven’t been Daddy’s Little Angel for some time now, and you must convince him and the world at large that you truly are some babe in the woods and you’re going to put that glimmer of hope and trust back in mama and papa’s eyes if you have to defame every character from here to Tblisi in that pursuit.

    Clearly this kid has no ability to think about anything other than her own desires and manipulating the media into painting a camp-approved portrait, and seeing that she’s every inch the impulsive, lesson-shy loser that he is I’ll assume that she didn’t think of the effect that effectively calling her kid’s father a rapist might have him. So awful how after that night, she had all of that consensual sex with him, ‘Oh, Lord, please do something about how badly I act and absolve me of the burden of agency and independent thought, which is bad for Q-ratings! Lord, teach me to spell ‘Q-ratings.’

    I’d never say he’s a saint and if I’m defending him it’s only in the sense that if he didn’t rape her (and she says everything but the word), that’s horrifying, vile behaviour and she doesn’t get off because he he’s a loser or because she’s the mom. I suspect this kid has two idiot parents, like a lot of people in the world. The parts to make the baby aren’t enough.

  26. Madisyn says:

    @ Lady D

    No your not the only one. I was drinking my first time and I probably shouldn’t say this, but had sex while drunk more times than I can count.

    A N O T H E R individual who will not take responsibility, cannot say “celebrity” because she is not. She is the daughter of a failed wannabe politician who couldn’t even bother to finish out her term as governor.

    Agree with @Zesty wholeheartedly.

    @bluhare, yeah, the “corrective” surgery, what an outright blatant LIE.

  27. Isa says:

    Being on the pill does help with cramps. I was got on it when I was 15 (so I didn’t catch a case of the BABIES!) and after going off it last year WOW! I forgot what it was like to have a normal period.

    I think she probably wasn’t taking the pill correctly.

  28. REALIST says:

    The quintessential winner, our Bristol. However, this story does illustrate one very important point-lots of women (and men) engage in unintended sex while drinking because their normal impulse control mechanisms are OFF. I’m already preaching the evils of drinking to my eleven year old-in a “don’t do the stupid things your dad and I did when we were younger” way-but we haven’t gotten too far into sex yet. When the time comes, I will preach that along with condoms (the unintended baby effect).
    Date rape is another thing that happens to women in a haze of alcohol-still controversial, I know, but a legitimate concern. No comment on Bristol; even so, just because she’s talking about it doesn’t mean there aren’t other women who haven’t been victims of date rape. Example: The old “spike the drink/punch” trick is a classic date rape setup. Another ploy: I know several women who were forced into oral sex while they were drunk-it is easy enough for a man to physically overcome a woman and force her into that position.
    Again, let’s not write off legitimate issues just because some C-list celeb is throwing around inflammatory language.

  29. Rio says:

    How the Hell do you even get blackout drunk on wine coolers in the first place? That’s like the premise to a bad John Hughes movie.

  30. gimpy says:

    I tend to believe Bristol on this one. Levi seems like the kind of selfish scumbag who would take advantage of his girlfriend being drunk. A LOT of guys do this, and a lot of girls’ first time ends up like this, although legally it’s considered rape it’s not socially considered to be rape and is almost never prosecuted as such. Even if it were, the public would take the side of the accused (What was she doing drinking so much? Why did she go on a camping trip alone without an adult chaperone? etc.)

    It’s very possible that it was her first time getting black-out drunk, it doesn’t mean it was her first time drinking. If she wasn’t a regular weekend drinker for years like most kids that age it’s likely she didn’t have a very high alcohol tolerance (a lot of girls don’t anyways) and could well have gotten that drunk. Most coolers have a higher alcohol content than beer, at least where I’m from.

    I’m not fan of Sarah Palin’s but I don’t think she’s making this up.

  31. original kate says:

    bristol is insinuating that levi raped her. i hope he sues the crap out of her.

  32. Anonymous says:

    Levi is not the greatest but this is very low – Bristol needs to stfu and take responsibility for her own actions, isn’t that why she is getting paid so much to give speeches?

  33. Wendy says:

    I’m 31 now but the first time I ever blacked out, barfed out my nose and pretty much felt like I was going to die was on coolers.
    I was 15, prob 90 lbs. And wine coolers have as much alcohol in them as beer does. Well in Canada anyways.
    I don’t think I even had 4 full bottles and I was hooped.

  34. N.D. says:

    @bluhare: Black out does not mean she was unconscious. It means she doesn’t remember what she did. She might have been acting totally (drunk) normal but just can’t remember it because she drank so much.

    This. And as Keiser said considering the circumstances most probably he was just as drunk as she was so even if her story is all true it’s still not rape. Or at least it is as much her raping him as the other way around.

    @Rio: How the Hell do you even get blackout drunk on wine coolers in the first place?

    Pretty easily. I personally don’t drink red wine at all for that reason – gives me blackouts and huge hangover even with tiny doses consumed.

  35. malachais says:

    So I guess the receptionist job isn’t pay so well? Or she feels too entitled to go back to a normal job now that she does speeches. You would think that Sarah or someone in that family would have enough common sense to tell Bristol to go seek therapy if she is so deeply upset about her past relationship. Clearly this girl-child has serious issues to write a ‘memoir’ about her life yet the book is all about her baby-daddy.

    I hope this book bombs and someone like Joy Behar or the ladies on The View grill her about this nonsense.

  36. Anonymous says:

    I like how Levi Johnson’s book title could also be used as Bristol’s title and vice versa. Maybe the publishers should package them together in a special box set.

  37. Amanda G says:

    Her parents may believe that story, but I don’t.

    I don’t like the girl and a lot of people bash her for her “new” face, but I think this is an example of plastic surgery/weight loss gone RIGHT. She looks great. And that’s probably the ONLY nice thing I will ever say about a Palin.

  38. ZenB!tch says:

    @youdon’tsay “John McCain is responsible for foisting this horrid family on us in the first place!!! Shame, shame, shame on him.”

    McCain’s action (referenced above)is also responsible for many of Obama’s votes – including mine. Some thing for the tea baggers to think about.

    As for Bristol – no one made her keep having sex with him, did they?

  39. not here says:

    @Gimpy and Carrie
    Thank you. A “friend” raped me while I was blackout drunk after losing my boyfriend because I was saving sex for marriage. This was a long time ago, but it was illegal then to have sex with someone unable to give consent and it still is.

    I loathe this family as much as anyone, but that doesn’t mean that bad things never happen to any of them.

  40. Juliesunflower says:

    Enough already! Where’s McCain to clear up this mess?

  41. imabrat says:

    Who the hell would want to read a Bristol Palin memoir anyway?

  42. Dingles says:

    Yeah, and I’m sure she and Levi prayed together to beg forgiveness for their sin the morning after too, then she went directly to church before serving food at the local homeless shelter, then she helped an old man cross the street on her way home to her perfect, loving family.

    I am so sure.

    And those of you claiming to believe her and jumping all over Levi are doing exactly what she hoped people would do.

  43. spinner says:

    Dang!! She really has a beautiful face now. She looks gorgeous.

  44. MB says:

    #29 Completely agree and was going to say the same thing. HOW THE HELL do you get blackout drunk on wine coolers? As someone who is in a committed relationship with my liquor store, I find the idea of getting blackout drunk on wine coolers straight-up embarassing.

  45. teehee says:

    So what fool takes advantage of a girl in that condition.
    And this gut is supposed to be a father to a child?

    Like anybody expected THAT to turn out well…. he’s obviously got no character to have done something like that in the first place.

  46. rissa says:

    being someone who has blacked out a few times.. how did she wake up so soon after? i dont believe her

  47. Ashley says:

    But, wasn’t she fifteen when Trig was born? Either way, the insinuation that she was black out drunk is a total fabrication. She couldn’t remember but woke up wondering where Levi was?

  48. taxi says:

    TMI – TMI who cares?

  49. Vesper says:

    I didn’t realize anyone could be as ridiculous as Sarah Palin, but I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The circumstances TOGETHER (on the pill for cramps, black out drinking wine coolers, and date rape by someone whose proposal of marriage u accept) are beyond ridiculous. It sounds like something Sarah Palin would come up with.

    @ N.D.: Wine coolers do not have nearly the same amount of alcohol as wine. Bristol would have had to drink countless bottles. Also, she is not a small girl so it would take significantly more alcohol to get her drunk vs. a small, slender girl.

    I know the pill can help with cramps, but does anyone actually go on the pill to deal exclusively with cramps? If she was on the pill for cramps her mother would know. Would a mother who knows their daughter is on birth control pills allow that daughter to go camping with her boyfriend unsupervised? If anything I would think she would be more watchful.

    Re. the blackout, by her comments it seems evident that Bristol / Sarah do not know that a blackout is not the same as being unconscious. Someone did not do their homework. It reminds me of Sarah not knowing basic geography (no, Africa is not a country).

    For those talking rape, if it really did go down that way how likely is it that the “victim” would consent to more sex soon after the “rape”, go on tv to display their “official” coupleton with their rapist or agree to marry. Does Bristol address at any length in her book feeling betrayed and furious about the incident or does she just skim it over?

    None of the excuses ring true. It seems much more likely that she is lying about everything.

  50. bluhare says:

    And here’s the thing no one has brought up yet. Why is she trashing the father of her son so publicly????

    He deserves all of it, but we aren’t Trig. (Tripp? Can’t remember the kid’s name!)

  51. beclove says:

    who will read this crap anyway? GO AWAY

  52. Emily says:

    Bitch please, we’ve all had drunk sex. Own up and just say you were drunk off your butt and made a stupid choice, not insinuate rape.

  53. jc126 says:

    What a liar. She’s just trying to pretend it wasn’t her responsibility she got pregnant as a teen. Own it. Or just remain silent (just kidding, I know that’s not an option for her. ) @@

  54. Deb says:

    @ Ashley, if conspiracy theorists are to be believed (they present a good hypothesis this time around), Trig is also Bristol’s child. If that’s the case, her drunken camp encounter was not her first time.
    Honestly, I think the whole story is bull either way. This is just her way of passing the buck onto Levi Johnston.

  55. Trillion says:

    The entire brand new face thing is just so weird…

  56. Mrs. Odie 2 says:

    I don’t believe her. I think she just can’t admit that she was a horny teenager and she did what almost 100% of horny teens do. But she doesn’t want to admit it.

  57. Nann says:

    Audrey Ference had the same surgery she did! Just google Audrey Ference and Bristol, etc. You’ll see. I don’t particularly like the Palins but who’s to say that is one of Bristol Palin’s lies?

  58. Crittle says:

    Oh great, and now we have to hear a rebuttal from Levi. I swear they’re in cahoots together with this back and forth between them to keep their names out there. Next thing you, they’ll be engaged again. Poor little Trip, to bad neither are bothering to think about him in their pursuit of fame, maybe he’ll be lucky and everyone forget about all the Palin stuff by the time he gets older

  59. hmm says:

    so basically she is Quinn from Glee?

  60. Plastic Brisket says:

    Yeah right Bristol. Levi is a gnat & you’re a tramp. If you were blacked out how do you even know that it was Levi that raped you. Your “book” about the history of your choochie sounds like a whole pile of CRAP. How sad that your son will grow up to read a book dedicated to slamming his father, IF he even is the father. SAD SAD SAD

  61. Westcoaster says:

    It is just lovely how Tripp will be able to read such great stories about his parents one day. Bristol and Levi should just keep their opinions about each other to themselves and concentrate on raising their son.

  62. Nikki Girl says:

    My Mom never would have let me go on an unsupervised camping trip at that age, especially with boys. Both Bristol and her mother are morons. I’m sick of her pathetic fame-whoring ways. And her new face is super creepy and generic Hollywood. Pathetic.

  63. lucy2 says:

    Ridiculous for a 20 year old to have a memoir, and I agree it’s just more of her playing the perpetual victim like her mother does. Nothing is EVER their fault.

    It really disturbs me how all the people in this situation bash each other publicly and constantly. That poor kid is growing up in a bad situation with all that negativity, and everyone will know all his business. Not fair to him.

  64. geekychick says:

    people react differently to alcohol. my limit is one beer,i’m drunk after half bottle of second(but,i have no idea what are wine coolers-smth like sangria?) i despise her family,but i don’t want to dismiss the posibility that she had a bad thing happen. i was a poster-child for goodie;when i was 18,peer pressure (i was so stupid!) escalated to blackout.i woke up naked,with a naked idiot loser who brought all the drink,and his friend in undies in other bed. i didn’t dare think about that for 2years,and i still say hello to them when i see them. why? bc i’m ashamed that i got myself in that situation,bc i don’t want them to talk, bc i don’t want to find out,bc they were good with my friends,and when i tried to say smth once,they all laughed it off. to this day i hope i never know what happened. i’m trying to say there are so many sketchy situations,and so many different,stupid reactions,especially when you’re young.

  65. geekychick says:

    @not here: i don’t know what to say,except that i’m very sorry and i think that’s a horrible thing to go through. and very brave to speak up,i wouldn’t if i haven’t seen your comment.
    side note:why am i always in moderation? i don’t curse,i don’t wish death on anyone-i may disagree with opinions of writers of this blog,i was in one (!) heated discussion,and i’m always in moderation! is it a kstew-based discrimination ;)?(just kidding, i swear:)

  66. lucy2 says:

    One more thing – if all this is true, him taking advantage, cheating on her constantly, badmouthing her family, basically only acting like a couple for the campaign…she then turned around and got engaged to the guy??? He may be a disgusting slime ball, but she has to look at her own choices to be with him too.

  67. locamochagirl says:

    A lot of SMART women get pregnant while on the pill….so a (no offense) dumb teenager getting pregnant even while on the pill? Not hard to believe. I think doctors DON’T tell girls the importance of taking your pill carefully. A lot of people just assume taking it makes you 100% covered from pregnancy, which just isn’t the case. So I can honestly say Bristol’s “I was on the pill for cramps” excuse is viable. But, to other people’s point – she of course was a hormonal teenager who probably didn’t take her pill correctly.

    I have to say – why NOT spread the word about abstinence for teens? I’m a middle school teacher and have pregnant 13 year olds. Their lives are changed forever, not to mention the life of their little baby that they do NOT give up for adoption. How can we say that’s a great situation? Let’s teach them a little abstinence (while also telling them about birth control methods and STDs, etc.)

  68. fabgrrl says:

    “Does anyone take the pill for cramps?”
    Well, I started the pill when I was 15 and my friends started having sex. I then decided to wait on sex for a couple of years (mostly because I didn’t like any boys in my high school). But I stayed on the pill because I liked having a light period and no cramps, since mine were horrible to deal with. What I’m saying is that yes, it is possible to take the pill *mainly* for cramps, or for improving skin, like my friend did. But no, I don’t think this was Bristol’s *only* reason for taking it.

  69. NoFrank says:

    Sarah Palin knew Bristol was pregnant when she accepted the offer to be McCain’s running mate, which means that she was fully aware of the fact that her daughter was going to be hurled into the public eye at one of the most stressful times of her life. So for a long time I was “hands off” with Bristol, because I figured it wasn’t her fault that her mom was a total famewhore — even though the fact that Sarah Palin was an advocate of “Abstinence Only” sex education everywhere but in her own damn house made her a sitting duck.

    It was even worse when the press took potshots at Bristol during the campaign and Sarah was all “Leave my children alone, you monsters!” — when SHE was the one who put them front and center in the first place. God, I hate that woman.

    However, when Bristol picked up the famewhore banner and ran with it, right onto the covers of a dozen magazines and a stint on Dancing With the Stars, it became open season. She’s a silly little twat just like her mother, and as far as I’m concerned the press can go off on her all it wants at this point.

    Also that stupid chin implant looks like one of the fake beards you see on statues of the ancient Pharoahs of Egypt.

    girlfriend may have been “on the pill” but she obviously wasn’t taking it correctly. the pill is 99.999% effective but you have to take it. every. damn. day. let’s review:

    pill every day = no baby!
    pill once in a while = ruining mommy’s chance at being VP.

    I think she’s forgetting about the first time she lost her virginity … when she had Trig some time thereafter.

    NoFrank — I totally agree!

    REALIST — don’t feel like you have to wait to tell your kids about condoms. Mine asked me what they were when we were in the ladies’ sanitary supplies. “What are those?” “Birth control.” “What’s that?” “So you don’t have a baby before you want to.” My point to them is that it’s right there in the grocery store. If you aren’t together enough to buy them you clearly aren’t together enough to have a baby. Also, do a price comparison between condoms and baby diapers. . .

    As to Bristol and Levi: Who knows what REALLY happened, and more importantly, WHO CARES? These clowns can barely can follow what is going on in their own lives, danged if I’m going to wrack my brain trying to figure it out for them.

    Hate to say it but Bristol now looks like Roger Ebert, the movie critic, after his jaw surgery. Ebert’s, however, was not an elective choice.
