Then there was Todd's DWI, then there was the news that Palin had been part of an organization that supports Alaskan secession from the Lower 48+1, then there was the discovery that she was lawyering up in preparation for her own mini TrooperGate, then there was the bit about how Wasilla residents tried to recall her as mayor on account of she kept firing people who weren't supportive of her.
Anyhoo, it all came out in a giant rush at the same time as all eyes were focused on New Orleans. That was as planned, of course:
“We are going to flush the toilet,” said Tucker Eskew, who is a senior adviser to Ms. Palin, describing the campaign’s plans for Labor Day, when much of the nation was busy with family and social activities.
That's right, Bristol. Your family's spokesman just referred to you as, AT ABSOLUTE BEST, used Kleenex.
Reminds me, I should call my parents and tell them I love them.

The part of that article that really pissed me off was this:
“Families get in trouble all the time,” said Rick Scarborough, a pastor and the founder of the conservative advocacy group Vision America. “From what I see this family is dealing with it honorably. They are going to carry this baby to a full term as a further testimony of their commitment to life.”
I really hate it when these people talk about "the family" when they are really talking about a 17 year old girl. SHE'S the one who's carrying the baby to term. She's also the one who is throwing her life away by marrying the baby's father before she's even a legal adult - isn't it telling that they don't even mention him. He must be a real catch!
"The family" - THEY are the ones who are twisting her arm to make sure she goed through with it.
Acmegirl: The hockey-playing don't-want-no-kids 18-year-old high-school-senior-boyfriend self-described-effing-redneck "catch" will be joining the happy family at the convention - I hope the media get a close up of the ball and chain around his foot. I bet he's THRILLED to be traveling with the fam. good grief. Paging Lynn Spears and Dr. Phil! STAT.
New York Post and HuffPost have details about his myspace page. Dreamboat. let me tell you.
I freaking love the explanation that Bristol can't be the mother of Trig. That's like saying, "I couldn't have stolen that car, because I was off burglarizing houses when it happened!"
I'm gonna puke if tomorrow we see an engagement ring on Bristol's finger (courtesy or not of Karl Rove or any other wackaloon repug). I watched the TV clip of McBush meeting the "fiance" (as he is now referred to by the repug pundits)... the kid looked at McBush while he grabbed his hand lightly and then the kid's hand dropped, like it was asleep. McBush grabbed him by the shoulders and then reached for the right hand to shake it and I swear the thought bubble above the kid reads: get me the hell outta here now and get me out of this stupid suit and away from this fuckedup family.
laugh. Oh, good lord! (Not that I believe in one but it was the only thing appropriate.) I've been following all of the stories avidly - because she's my damn governor (although, please note, I did not vote for her). Despite poor Bristol, I can't help but be amused at how badly it all spilled out.
Anon at 7:29--puke your guts out. There's something on her finger.
Or, you might not have anything left in your guts for puking after the bit about how her family is so amazing that they qualify her to be president, coming right on the heels of all the snippy remarks about how the families should get left out of the press coverage.
Wayfarer--Welcome, real live Alaskan!! Please tell us more. What do you think is true and what isn't of the many stories going around? (AIP membership, weird birth shit, trying to get trooper brother-in-law fired, etc etc).
PUKE PUKE PUKE. Unreal.
I swear there's handcuffs between Bristol and that kid... they were holding hands for every tv shot during Barracuda's rant.
At least the baby with blanket wasn't being used as a shield/cover this time in front of Bristol... Barracuda's husband and the cute little girl were holding the baby. It's about time they let the pregnant one have some foot and back rest. shhezzze.
It all makes me sick. And I'm so tired of "families are off limits" crap and then here they are, every five secs being talked about and put IN FRONT OF Barracuda by Barracuda! It's just flat out wrong. I'll stoop so low to say she's closing in on DINA LOHAN as skeezer of the year.
Wayfarer: I am ready to launch my own damn investigation up there in your backyard! Us scientists can pull rabbits out our asses - surely, we can get to the bottom of BabyGate and TrooperGate in 60 days. I'm curious what NORMAL Alaskans really think off-camera and off-record.
My friends, I give you BUS-GATE:

It's Christmas-gate every day. So, this is what we are missing in Alaska. We need a CSI: Alaska show and a special daily issue of the Enquirer.
