HOrrific!
The UK's News of the World has a reporter working the Alaska beat. And, they uncovered a juicy bit about the preggers GOP princess, Bristol Palin.
Turns out Bristol's babydaddy, Levi, was in a 3 year 'relationship' with her best friend, a gal named Lanesia Garcia, when she started messing around with him.
In fact, Bristol supposedly kept 'pressuring' Lanesia to break up with the self-proclaimed "redneck" boy when rumors started flying that he was cheating on her with other girls at parties.
Lanesia was devastated to find out through another friend that Bristol was one of those 'girls'.
Bristol had been her friend since the age of six and she couldn't believe that she could do that to her.
Says Lanesia:
"I didn't believe it, I never dreamt she was capable of doing that to me. But when I called her she just said, 'I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it. Levi and I are togeher now and I think he's the man for me.' I put the phone down and have not talked to her since. I was distraught for a year - I missed Bristol desperately but also Sarah, who was like a second mom to me. Neither of them have tried to contact me, though-which says something about how ruthless they can be. The phrase Sarah used comparing herself to a lipstick-wearing pitbull is spot on."
If the whole White House thing doesn't work out, the Palins should consider some sort of Hollywood career.
Their family story would make a great, trashy soap opera!
Wow!!! What a great story. I guess the Palin's are parents of the year. They instill all the good qualities parents should into their children. I think they're too busy trying to win elections rather than taking care of their kids.

Wow....
Talk about desperation from the left.
What does any of this have to do with anything?

Wow....

Just Hypocrisy. Pallin talks about how important religion is and how sex education should not be taught in schools. Her children obviously don't follow either. I feel bad for the dude that knocked up Bristol. I guarantee he isn't happy about having to marry her and her family.
The way people's children turn out say a lot about the parents.

:furious "Im sooooo sad, my man is a potato so now im gonna gossip to the whole world, waaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Dude, my mom doesnt try and talk to old friends who I had a falling out with, and just because her daughter is a potato doesnt mean Palin is horrible.

I'd like whoever wrote those sentences to come back after they've raised their own kids through adulthood and let me know how their kids turned out, especially the part about how kids follow every instruction from parents and think exactly like their parents do.

This has some sort of importance on our election process?

OMG OMG
:O :O
Teenage girls fighting over a boyfriend....
I'm shocked and devastated...
I'm sure this will derail the entire GOP campaign...
if the story about her husband's 20 year old DUI didn't do it already...
really....is this the best you can do? :rolleyes:
eh...remember Bill Clinton?
-
Sounds like levi just wanted to have a bit of fun, now he has little choice but to marry her. ouch!

Levi's mom has said that the marriage was planned before it was found out that Bristol was pregnant.

Two things....
First, I sincerely wish that stories about these children would go away. Obama himself has said many times, over and over, to leave the families out of this grinder, especially the children. It isn't right, nor is it fair to a 17 year old, to trot out her life onto the national stage, no matter how good or bad that life is.
That being said, I would venture to guess that were Barack Obama to have had a teenage daughter in the same situation, this election would be OVER.
That is the sad state of the electorate these days.
-
I'll be glad when the elections are over so we can return to a more regular level of stupidity.
-
The left has no choice but to attack Palin. The problem with attacking someone stronger than you though is that you get your bellybutton kicked. The left is getting it's bellybutton kicked.
-

I agree.
That being said, I would venture to guess that were Barack Obama to have had a teenage daughter in the same situation, this election would be OVER.
I'm not so sure about that. He has been accused of being Muslim, and after 9/11 I am surprised that just the accusation didn't kill his chances for president.
-
News of The World huh?
I hear (from the same source) that Palin and family regularly dines with the Alaskan version of bigfoot.
-

How so?
-
Anyone that gets off on dragging the antics of a kid, especially a teenager , through the dirt , should make sure that they are not planning on having children or that theirs are already grown and you squeaked through.
Things such as this have a tendency to come back and bite you in the butt otherwise.
-
How so?
Considering his association with Ayers and Wright I'm wondering the same thing. The truth is that if his daughter were being as viciously attacked as is Palin's the left would be having a seizure.
-
I'm not so sure about that. He has been accused of being Muslim, and after 9/11 I am surprised that just the accusation didn't kill his chances for president.
I'm not so sure that that doesn't still have traction. It continually rises back to the top and must be repetitively talked about, and dismissed with the facts. A true shame in a country promoting freedom for all, that our knee jerk reactions are what controls us.

The same can be said about many of the things being said about Governor Palin.

Can't say that I disagree with that.

When these two guys agree on something, It's probably a sure bet that the issue is decided.
Really, the whole issue is non-news...Let Jerry Springer jump up and down if you want. It's because we have crap like this, coming from a European newspaper, that we don't really care about what the Euro's think in our elections...to them, it seems' to be just a parlour show.

Sir, sorry to say, but she isn't stronger, just new.
I kept an open mind about Palin until I was completely turned off to her when I saw the Gibson interview. She was a programmed college student, reciting an exam she crammed for. As well, I would think that anyone running for the second highest office in the country should at least have a working familiarity with the doctrine that has been applied to foreign policy for the last 7 years, and she had no idea, getting extremely defensive about it, throwing a sharp rebuttal at Gibson. Both of the candidates on the democratic ticket have commented upon the "Bush doctrine" in detail, and have answered questions phrased exactly like hers.
Thinking like hers, in the wrong places, is going to hurt this country sometime. Look at the last 8 years for reference.
-
I love how this is a big deal and no matter how the election goes nobody is going to care in 6 months, thanks for wasting my time, if you dont believe me that it wont matter soon then remeber back 8 years, and excuse me if im wrong, but isnt one of the bush twins a lesbian?

To those of you denigrating Governor Palin and her daughter. I have this.
Did you follow all of the rules and follow everything that your parents raised you to believe and follow? I know there were some things that I never followed. If you want to keep comparing Obama to Christ and follow what he said, remember what Christ said. "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."

Even Obama told his campaign that Palin's daughter was "hands off." He threatened to fire anyone dredging up Bristol Palin's pregnancy for political purposes. He doesn't, however, control the media or tabloids.
Palin's real issues, such as troopergate, and her using her influence as governor to have a few of her high school friends' hired into high-paying jobs in her administration, along with letting her husband actually make decisions' on how alaska should be run (even though he has no official position in Alaskan gov't.) are the real issues.

Let's assume it's true. You don't think girls will be girls when it comes to backstabbing. They chew each other to bits at work. And of course when the others back is turned. I think I could find a 100 stories like that just in the office.

Your link doesn't say her husband got to make decisions on how to run Alaska, however, it does say that he got to sit in on meetings. I do find that a bit odd, but we have certainly seen far stranger things in American politics heh.

No.
I believe, from what I've seen from Palin's personality, that she is in fact a slimy, backstabbing, powerhungry, lying, racist, B. Sorry, that's just my opinion. :aok

If he read it anywhere and he wants to believe it that's good enough for him. Kinda sucks he does not have a higher regard for himself. You can't seriously expect anyone to respect you if you can't respect yourself.

I thought she handled a poorly posed question with ill intent to do nothing but embarrass her quite well. If Gibson had intended it as a real question he would have politely and simply clarified and rephrased the question. That he really didn't care what she thought about the "Bush Doctrine" also became apparent when he got it wrong himself. The liberals are struggling and their bitterness is very apparent to me.

Yes....Gibson asked a question and if she didn't know or understand it she should have asked him to clarify the question. Like Moray said, she looked like a college student who just got done cramming for a test.

She answered "In what respect Charley?" to his question. His reply was an almost sarcastic "do you know what it is?" Obviously he did not when he finally got around to getting it wrong.
-
That being said, I would venture to guess that were Barack Obama to have had a teenage daughter in the same situation, this election would be OVER.
Obama wouldn't let his daughter be tied down by a mistake....she'd already have had the abortion and be hailed a strong woman for standing on her principles.

How do you know so much about her personality? Generally, you have to get to know someone in some way in order to be able to judge their personality.

If he was asking a question, especially one about the current administration, you'd think he would know the answer himself so he could (figuratively) jump all over her if she got the answer wrong.

She may have been embarrassed because of the way Charlie asked the question. If you were on national television and someone asked you a question you might at first expect that the person asking you had a clue. If he had asked you what the 10th planet in our solar system was you wouldn't be expecting a trick question would you? Your first thought might be oh crap, I didn't know there was a 10th planet. Later you find out there isn't and the questioner was just looking for a gotcha moment.
There was no deer in the headlights, if anything, she put Charlie on the spot to explain his question and he got it wrong.

The best part of all this is that most women probably don't sit around and debate the political issues like we do here. They don't give the other side a chance to explain why Palin is devil's sister. They see "the media" and Obama's camp attack a person that a great many of them admire and identify with. The more attacks, the greater the empathy. :aok

Hiring off of emotional ties, rather than actually finding someone who is fair and impartial, and probably more qualified for the job, should be of tantamount importance.
I'll put an example that some of you here might have run into everyday...The area representative (head) of the football teams' that my kids play for, let a friend of his coach. Not because of ability, but because of their personal relationship.
That season, the varsity team lost every single game.
The next year, they changed coaches, as the friend went to coach another age/grade division. The replacement coach was someone who wanted to be the Varsity coach the year they lost the entire season. They turned around, and won all but one game-the championship "bowl" game.
It's a serious issue whenever people are put into appointments not because of ability, but because of contacts.

Kinda like Hillary attempting to run the health care thingy back in Bill's days as Pres.

Does the same apply to race? Would Obama be where he is if he weren't black? Seriously?

I know; her over-zealous involvement, when you consider how it tied her to Bill's administration, might have cost her the DNC nomination this year. What comes around, goes' around... :lol

Obama got where he did because he won the nomination. If people voted for him because he's black, that's not equated with him having any relatives that put him there (AFAIK.)

i guess some of you all did not get the new Dem strategy from the talking points dated today,
nobody talks about Pallin, at all! this is from Oboma himself. lol
they want to try and focus on issues, were they think they have a chance!
they know they can't win by attacking her, to much sympathy for the woman candidate :aok
its OK tho i like that some in here think she is more important than any other thing in this election, just shows that McCain made the right choice,
grow up! :rofl :rofl
show me, for real why Oboma is the better choice, not why McCain is the wrong choice, and I'll listen,
but if you attack McCain for stupid reasons like he was 5'th from last in his class, which i doubt that anyone on this forum could even qualify for, or he might have cancer, because his jaw looks uneven
you get a Zero for effort, and 100% for lack of knowledge about anything more than laceing your shoes! you might check those? :huh

Hiring off of emotional ties, rather than actually finding someone who is fair and impartial, and probably more qualified for the job, should be of tantamount importance.
I don't disagree with this at all. Was just saying that appointing friends or those who have done favors is typical politics in this country. It has been the norm so long that calling one politician out on it is simply a non issue for me. Now if we want to call out all the politicians that have/are doing this, then lets go for it. :)
