    I love the link “abstinence advocate and pregnant with her second out of wedlock baby” Bristol is the ultimate hypocrite. How can people be so stupid to eat up everything she says?

  2. QQ says:

    Cute Dog, that is as Charitable as I’m getting here

    • SusanneToo says:

      Very cute. I hope Sarah doesn’t allow Trick or Treat or Track or Truck or whatever the hell his name is stand on this one too.

    • mayamae says:

      Hope the kids don’t try to stand on that little peanut.

    • BearcatLawyer says:

      Isn’t that her ex-boyfriend’s dog? The bf before Dakota, her now ex-fiancé? I swear it is…I think we all know who the real baby daddy is.

  3. antipodean says:

    How does this woman have the gall to stand there with such a cheesy self-satisfied grin on her face. If she had any notion of good taste she would be getting on with her pregnancy, quietly, in Wasilly, and stop exposing herself to the world at large, and abstinence only aficionados in particular. I hasten to add that I am certainly not one of those befuddled types.

  4. DenG says:

    Bristol may already be forgiven under the Kim Davis Pardon Plan. Carry on, y’all.

  5. mia girl says:

    So is it safe to assume the guy she was engaged to when she became pregnant and last minute didn’t marry is NOT the father of this baby?

    • j.eyre says:

      Didn’t he have another wife in the way or something? You know, family values and stuffs.

    • LAK says:

      I came to say this.

      Can someone help with a timeline. Please!

      • Syko says:

        Here’s a mini-timeline for you.

        9/1/08: announced pregnancy and engagement to Levi Johnston.
        12/08: Tripp Johnston born.
        3/09: Ended engagement to Johnston, started custody battle (she wanted full custody, of course, and sometime in there claimed she’d gotten pregnant as a result of being raped by Johnston).
        12/09: Court rules in favor of Johnston, granting shared custody.
        2/10: Johnston ordered to pay back child support.
        7/10: Reunited with Johnston, announced they were again engaged. Broke up 3 weeks later.
        8/10: Reached agreement with Johnston, she got primary custody, he got visitation and had to pay child support – an unreasonably large amount.
        12/10: She bought a 5 bedroom house in AZ for $172K cash.
        5/12: Sold the AZ house for $175K, moved back to AK.
        3/13/15: Announced engagement to Dakota Meyer.
        5/18/15: Less than a week before the wedding, it was canceled, although Sarah said they’d be having the party anyway. Bristol did not attend the party.
        6/25/15: Announced her “disappointing” pregnancy, but insisted it was planned.

        Since she is 7.5 months along, the baby must be due around the first of December. Therefore, she was already 2 months pregnant at the time she announced her engagement to Meyer.

      • Canadian Becks says:

        Just a correction:

        She would have been 2 weeks along, and not two months, when she announced her engagement March.

    • antipodean says:

      I think the narrative at the moment is that she doesn’t really know who the father is, being all like, you know, abstinent, all over the place and all.

      • belle de jour says:

        Born into an old family with similar Palinian traditional family values, I feel certain the father is actually a traveling knight in shining armour – Sir Abstin of Ence – absent only because he’s nobly gotten off to the Crusades, converting heathens, infidels and liberals so that they, too, may be worthy of the Holy Order of Hypocrisy.

      • Chrissy says:

        LOL!

        I bet there are more than two possible candidates for father of Bristol’s child. But maybe she’ll claim an Immaculate Conception when she eventually talks to the press about this baby.

      • Arock says:

        I would just like to point out planned parenthood hands out free contraceptives, looking at you, Palins.

      • Janet R says:

        well, that comment earned a *snortle* antopodean!

      • Tiffany :) says:

        Arock, Bristol released a strongly worded statement against free birth control just the other day!

        “Bristol Palin took to her blog on Wednesday, Oct. 7, to voice her objection to a public health initiative in Washington that provides free birth control to young, low-income women. ”

        http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/bristol-palin-slams-free-birth-control-plan-for-minors-2015910

        Her stupidity knows no bounds.

      • antipodean says:

        Belle Du Jour, you are a scream. Don’t forget to add the ravaging of maidens to the list.

    • doofus says:

      WHO IS THE DADDY?!

      Better call Maury!

      • Sabrine says:

        I don’t think she really knows who the father of the baby is. I suspect she told the fiancee she was pregnant, didn’t know who the father was and he was out of there.

      • AntiSocialButterfly says:

        Maury wouldn’t even want to pay for cheek swabbing all of Wasilla’s male population.

    • BRE says:

      It appears he is not or she would have said that although they are no long going to marry they plan to co-parent.

    • Bridget says:

      I feel pretty confident saying that he’s not the father. And they would have made quite a pair if they’d gone through the wedding… I occasionally see his social media posts come up in my feed because folks I know will ‘like’ or share (army vets) and Dakota is just an idiot. He would have fit in so perfectly with the Palins, and him being married to Bristol would have just served to give him a bigger platform with which to inflict his ramblings on the larger population. I think we collectively dodged a bullet here.

  6. j.eyre says:

    Oh gawd, somebody slap me – whereas I agree with the “Olivia Wilde’s dress looks like something Project Runway barfed up” comment, I actually like the dress. I must have a fever.

    • belle de jour says:

      No help from me – I guess I’m an enabler, because I think that dress is quite beautiful and artistic and flattering and interesting.

      (But then there are many creative ideas & clothes that someone else may dismiss as ‘barfed up by Project Runway’ that I see as far more thoughtful and respectful than a lot of established designer attempts at same.)

    • Kitten says:

      It’s not a style that I would ever wear but it’s a fun, whimsical dress. I don’t get the hate, to be honest.

  7. Colette says:

    Who’s the father?

  8. perplexed says:

    When did she break up with her fiancee? I can’t believe I’m contemplating this, but the hypocrisy is so strong on this girl I need to know.

    • LAK says:

      Me too!!

    • Jaded says:

      I imagine she found out about Dakota Meyer’s first marriage that took place in 2008. Records are sealed so nobody knows if they’ve even divorced, but it’s clear he kept it a secret from Bristol. Whatever happened the marriage was short-lived, they were both still in their teens, and she’s an extremely private person. Methinks mama Grizzly got up in his face when news first leaked of it and Bristol went whining to mummy, so she chased him off with a loaded semi-automatic.

      • mayamae says:

        No way Sarah Palin chased off a war hero. The way Sarah responded, she disapproved of the breakup.

        Oh boy, this reads like I’m a supporter. I. am. not.

      • BRE says:

        I don’t buy that his first marriage was the issue. I mean, she was a unwed, teen mother. Can they really think that him being married briefly when he was younger is that big of a deal?

      • Bridget says:

        That baby is pretty clearly not Meyer’s and it’s easy to guess that’s why they broke up. I’ve seen a little bit of his social media stuff, and if it were his he would be letting the world at large know. And yet he’s silent.

        I’m fairly certain Sarah really wanted this match to happen. Remember when she tried to insist that they were going to have the reception as a party even though the wedding was cancelled?

      • jwoolman says:

        I don’t think it’s clear at all that she didn’t know about Dakota’s brief earlier marriage and it’s so unlikely that the marriage was not dissolved or annulled. I doubt that was the reason for the cancellation of their marriage so soon before the wedding. More likely he found out she was pregnant and realized from timing that he wasn’t the father or else had other evidence that she was cheating. He hasn’t said a word about co-parenting or even saying this could be his child, and neither has she. Prenatal DNA testing is available.

        Besides, the Palin family has a lot of money. I doubt that they wouldn’t investigate the past of their daughter’s fiancé.

        Bristol might not want a father in her daughter’s life. Levi had to fight tooth and nail in court to get visitation for their son and she tried to make it very difficult. She seemed to have the idea that once her mother’s political campaign was finished and she got tired of him, she could kick him to the curb and never see him again. The Palins are really a very strange family. Ignore all the family values/anti-abortion/anti-birth control rhetoric. That’s just to please their political base.

  9. lila fowler says:

    Has she ever heard of birth control? This family is such trash.

    • Ariana says:

      im not a fan of her in any means, but she was engaged to the guy and is 25 years old….one would think getting married and having a baby isnt trashy.

      • grumpy bird says:

        But she didn’t get married and have a baby. Plus it’s unclear if her ex-fiancé is the father.

      • perplexed says:

        And she was promoting abstinence before marriage…how can anyone miss why people think she’s odd?

      • JenniferJustice says:

        Forget trashy. It’s the hypocracy coming from a woman who got pregnant quite young, had a child out of wedlock, started a campaign to discourage young women from doing the same and to “remain abstinent” just to turn around and get pregnant out of wedlock again, dump the fiance’ and now we’re left concluding that the child is in fact – NOT his. The irony is painful.

        However, there is still alot that’s trashy about the Palins.

      • jwoolman says:

        I don’t think she’s trashy, either. But she is hypocritical and deceitful.

        I think it’s pretty clear that the baby is not the daughter of her ex- fiancé and that this fact is why he’s the ex. She may have expected him to cover for her, which some men will do and end up as informal adoptive fathers. They probably didn’t know each other well enough to have that kind of a strong bond. She’s old enough and well fixed enough financially to support herself and her children on her own. Her mother is undoubtedly infuriated about it, though. Dakota would have been a political plum, but now she’s stuck explaining another bit of evidence of her abstinence-advocating-for-big-bucks daughter’s non-abstinence to her Tea Party political base.

    • anne_000 says:

      I think abstinence fanatics don’t believe in birth control. Iirc, they believe it makes it easier for people to break their abstinence pledge.

      • lucy says:

        Same belief system as the earth is flat, money grows on trees, Obama is muslim, global warming is a myth,….

      • Original T.C. says:

        Yep. They think being on birth control means you are going to have secret pleasurable sex. So in their minds if women don’t use birth control, they won’t have “consequence free” sex. It all goes back to controlling women’s sexuality. Just like abortion really has nothing to do with morals, it’s all about “showing your shame” for having non-marital sex. That’s why conservative men are “pro-life”, they can have sex with anything that moves besides they wives but if a woman dares to have sex without marriage or within marriage they want the “evidence” displayed for all to see. If they were truly “pro-life” they would care about hearing for birthed babies and their moms and would not be into the death penalty.

    • Heather says:

      She’s pregnant with a future abstinant advocate unwed mother of two.

  10. anne_000 says:

    Does she even know who the father is? Doesn’t the father want to be a part of this child’s life? Who is she going to go after child support from?

    • Sabrine says:

      The kind of guys she sleeps with don’t really pay child support. She probably thought it was a lost cause; maybe she doesn’t even know who to go after to get it.

      • jwoolman says:

        She probably at least has a short list of candidates even if she’s not sure. But more likely she doesn’t need or want child support since she doesn’t want to deal with the father. For instance, if it was a one-night stand rather than any semblance of an actual relationship. As long as she doesn’t apply for any government assistance, I don’t think anyone will care. The government has been going after the guys only when it is relevant to the aid the mom will be getting.

    • Sarah says:

      I used to work for a child protection agency and some mothers would tell us they didn’t know who the father was. Then it would come out later that they did know but they were afraid he would fight them for custody or some kind of access to the child and they were afraid they might lose (if their drug use, etc. became known). So it’s just easier (for the mother) to say she doesn’t know which one of her sketchy sexual partners could have been the father. And then we would have to amend all the court documents a year later when she said “Oh yeah. I do know who the father is”.

      So Bristol may just not want to have the father involved or for him to gain access to any legal rights to the child. But yeah, I don’t think it’s Dakota Meyer either or else the wedding would have gone down IMO.

  11. InvaderTak says:

    Can someone more informative than the frisky explain what’s going on with the Halloween one? I don’t get how cancelling a Halloween parade and throwing a costume party instead is inclusive of the issue was that some couldn’t wear costumes. What goes on in a Halloween parade? I’ve only ever trick or treated. And it is possible for girls who wear burqas is dress up Halloween, I’ve seen it they actually get really creative. The religious part of the holiday is actually November 1st. All Hallows eve isn’t a religious holiday, just a traditional holiday the day before I don’t get where religion even comes in. Is it a non Halloween affiliated costume party? That doesn’t solve the issue of costumes (if that was it). Help me.

    Edit: to the parents who wrote the petition. This is not your childhood. Get you heads out of your arses and adapt! Just like every. Single. Previous. Generation. Narcissists. Make new traditions! It’s like these people had kids so that they could live out their ideal fantasy on them. They’re not the least bit interested in working to make their kids future better.

    • anne_000 says:

      The Frisky article is sourced from a Washington Post article for which Frisky provides the link.

      The WP article quotes a bishop’s statements about why he thinks Halloween goes against Christianity.

      For many years, I’ve heard similar arguments.

      They think it glorifies paganism though ironically, a lot of Christian holidays are pagan-based, same with where they built ancient Christian churches (atop pagan worship centers) and some of the stories and symbolism in Christianity are found in older pagan religions first.

      • Lucky Charm says:

        Many pagans converted to Christianity (especially the Celts) because the Christian church incorporated many of the pagan traditions and celebrations. All Hallow’s Eve (Hallow’een) was the pagan holiday of scaring off the ghosts, goblins and ghouls of the dead; so the following day, November 1st, was styled as All Souls Day and a religious day of prayer for the souls of the dearly departed. Christmas was the pagan winter celebration, that is why we have Christmas trees, holly wreaths, etc. so the church moved the celebration of Baby Jesus’ birthday to coincide.

      • InvaderTak says:

        Ok I get it now. I was on mobile and missed the source link. For some reason it really stuck out that the frisky was making a point about commentators. I could not figure out where burqas fit in. I should have some coffee and Excedrin and then try reading. My comprehension is nil with this headache. But i can understand that the whole thing is effing stupid.

      • jwoolman says:

        Even the Christian emphasis on an afterlife comes from non-mainstream religions with which they shared the catacombs. Jewish tradition doesn’t have such an emphasis.

    • JustCrimmles says:

      I was informed by a kid at work yesterday that Halloween is “of the devil,” and that the only people that celebrate it don’t go to church. Because this is what his mom and their church have told him. We asked if he’d ever heard of or been to a harvest festival (he hadn’t), and he went on to vehemently deny that they were even a thing. There are not enough hours in the day.

      As for the fools throwing this particular fit, it reeks of Islamophobia. I live in an area that has a vast Somali Muslim community, and from my somewhat limited experience, the majority of them have no problem with the holiday. It’s a vibrant community, and I have trouble believing they’d be against any celebration that has little to no religious significance.

      The anti-Halloween crowd has made my blood boil since childhood. I would say yes, there us a war on Halloween. It’s been going on since at least the 80s, when this preoccupation with alleged satanists took hold. And it’s not being waged by anyone who isn’t some kind of religious whackadoo of the Jeebus variety.

      (Jeebus, not Jesus, because obviously.)

  12. holly hobby says:

    So is she wearing glasses now to look smart? She certainly doesn’t have much between the ears.

    • anne_000 says:

      If only they made eye glasses with little compartments in them for birth control pills or condoms….

    • jwoolman says:

      She’s always had glasses, just doesn’t wear them all the time. Maybe she also has contacts, but not everybody is comfortable with them all the time. Or in some cases, any of the time. Depends on your vision problem also, not everybody needs the glasses for everything. I only wore them for driving, otherwise I see clearly without glasses because one eye is farsighted and the other a little nearsighted.

  13. lucy says:

    I like the Rolling Stones’ rider! Seems very sensible.

  14. Daria Morgendorffer says:

    Ok so I have some commentary about Bristol:

    She has made many remarks bashing people on public assistance while bragging about being employed and financially independent. I call major bullsh-t on that. She owns her own home somehow despite being employed as a secretary. She posts pictures on her Insta of her house and it looks pretty nice and decked out, so it’s not like she’s living in some trailer. I also noticed she has a different Louis Vuitton bag in every other picture.

    My point is just that her hypocrisy knows no bounds. She bashes those on public assistance while lying and claiming to be financially independent when she’s clearing getting help from her parents, and she bashes women who have babies out of wedlock or opt to get abortions, and she now has 2 children by 2 different dads and she has never been married.

    It will be a great day when she is no longer heard from.

    • anne_000 says:

      Her son also gets Native American (government) healthcare, because Bristol’s father is part of a tribe.

    • jwoolman says:

      She has picked up gobs of major money speaking in favor of abstinence in particular. She also was on Dancing With the Stars, that pay a nice chunk of change. She probably has other sources as well. She is not making it just from her job at the doctor’s office.

  15. Mixtape says:

    I don’t know why, but her complete failure at living life by her own standards actually endears her to me in a way. I’ve always had a soft spot for trainwrecks, though.

    • Wellsie says:

      Too stupid to help herself. I agree with you a bit, but I do wish she’d stop sh*tting so much on others considering what a plate of bananas her life is.

  16. mayamae says:

    Since she’s a girl, this child has dodged the Track/Trigg/Trapp bullet.

  17. Merritt says:

    “Abstinence advocate” is code for someone who wants people to have unplanned pregnancies and/or STIs. People who don’t want that, promote comprehensive sex education.

    • Sabrine says:

      LOLs – maybe the third one can be called “Trilogy.”

      • jwoolman says:

        This most likely is the third one. Bristol is the most likely suspect for giving birth to Sarah Palin’s fifth child. Bristol was sent off to stay with her aunt during the time she would have been pregnant. Judging from the look of the baby allegedly a few days after birth, he actually was born several weeks before- at the time Sarah started wearing first a pillow and then a better prosthesis (according to experts looking at pictures of her) after announcing her alleged pregnancy. My guess is that they had planned to quietly have the baby adopted, then he was much less adoptable when he was unexpectedly born with Down’s Syndrome. That also explains their reluctance to show the baby’s birth certificate and the look on Sarah’s face in the family picture outside the clinic, as well as her wild plane and car ride allegedly when her water broke- bypassing several hospitals equipped to deal with a high-risk birth (Sarah claimed to know the baby had Downs before the birth) to get to a regional hospital with no such facilities. Her doctor released the most peculiarly worded letter the evening before the election, supposedly In support of the idea that the fetus had been tested earlier for Down’s but in a deniable way. Also Bristol obviously was doing the major portion of childcare for the little tyke during the campaign and beyond, until she got away from her parents’ house.

  18. Heather says:

    She looks fake pregnant. Media stunt! I’m sure it’s actually Willow’s baby.

  19. My two cents says:

    Could care less about this failed reality star. She thought she had it made in the shade back in the day. I doubt she works so all I want to know is the state paying for this pregnancy and delivery or does she have Obamacare?

    • jwoolman says:

      She’s eligible for free healthcare through her father’s part-Native status, not sure if her kids are covered that way though. The eligibility does eventually stop after a certain point in the descendants when they are only part rather than full-blooded. But her parents are rich, makes the major difference.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Her kids have been covered through a combination of the Native American health care, which was bolstered by Obamacare, and Medicaid, also bolstered by Obamacare.

  20. Fluff says:

    I wish Bristol would just go the full-out Z-list celeb route, and destroy the last tiny shred of credibility she has.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      She has a shred of credibility? If anyone with half a brain bothered to read the link to her blog that appears within that article about her pregnancy, even that should disappear. She rants about a program in Washington state implanting birth control into TEN Year old girls but the very article she quotes, the very statements she quotes, list the ages of the girls and, well, none of them are as young as ten and the vast majority are high school girls. But then again, I doubt anyone with as much as half a functioning brain believes anyone named Palin.

  21. Tiffany says:

    Just read about Hayden Panetterre (sp). Hope it helps. Depression really is a SOB. Godspeed.

  22. HK9 says:

    This triflin’ girl in her instagram photo embodies everything that’s wrong with the abstinence movement.

  23. jc126 says:

    I wonder if this child will be given an Alaska-centric name. Bristol is named after Bristol Bay, there’s a place in AK called Willow, and Piper is supposedly named after a Piper Cub plane.
    By the way, are any first-born children of the Palins ever conceived in wedlock? Sarah was pregnant when she married Todd, the oldest son Track, now divorced, married his pregnant fiancee, then Bristol at least twice getting pregnant out of wedlock. It’s tradition.

  24. alexc says:

    Hey Bristol, it’s never too early to talk to your daughter, Truth, about birth control, I mean abstinence. Please, break the cycle.
