I Just Can't Help Myself

I have tried and succeeded prior to now, to not post about Sarah Palin or her family other than actual policy issues. Palins says and does crazy shit almost on a daily basis but I try to ignore her because I think its better to just let her keep ruining her own legacy than to step in and perhaps do or say something that helps her garner any kind of sympathy. But I mean when she has now turned her daughter's relationship and child into the Wasilla version of the Jerry Springer show through the media, I just can't ignore this stuff any more.

From People magazine

After taking about sex on The Tyra Banks Show, Johnston – the 18-year-old father of Bristol Palin's baby – was hit with a blistering response from Bristol's mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship," says the statement from the Palin family rep.

"Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence," the statement continues. "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child."

The statement ends, saying, "Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions."

In the show airing April 6, Johnston tells Tyra Banks that he believes Sarah Palin knew he and Bristol, 18, were having sex when they lived under her roof. "I'm pretty sure she probably knew. Moms are pretty smart," Johnston says.

Talk about pot meet kettle. Wasn't it Sarah Palin who kept bringing Greta VanDouchebag into her home to talk about Bristol and her relationship and her child? I wonder if SHE had to get Levi's approval to do those appearances. Somehow I doubt it. Then she speaks for Bristol and says it was all a mistake? I am just wondering if anybody is going to call her out on this statement where she basically says that Bristol's child, Tripp, was a mistake. You know the right wing pro life lunatics usually LOVE to play this kinda gotcha game, of course thats only when its a librul that they are targeting.

I just do not see Sarah Palin being a viable candidate anytime soon. I mean I haven't even mentioned the sister in law who was caught breaking and entering for the second time in recent weeks. I don't think most Americans want to see Jerry Springer type antics coming from the White House.
