AMERICAblog: Bristol Palin's future mother-in-law arrested

  • aggyp · 11 months ago
    An excuse to cancel the wedding??
  • Laur · 11 months ago
    Yup.
  • Patrick_Bateman · 11 months ago
    My bride and I were guessing as to what the "controlled substance" was.

    We both concluded Meth, what do some of you think?

    PS John Aravosis - We appreciate your tenacity on the Warren brouhaha. Your passion is courageous and evidently...contagious.
  • Bush Bites · 11 months ago
    That would be my guess, considering that Palin made Wasilla the meth capital of Alaska.
  • Bush Bites · 11 months ago
    "Future mother-in-law"

    .....yeah, right.

    Smart money says "ain't gonna happen."
  • nicho · 11 months ago
    I got my invitation. Didn't you get yours?

    Bwahahahahaha
  • coolcatdaddy · 11 months ago
    It's not like a bad country song, John.

    They just have a Purpose Driven Life.
  • nicho · 11 months ago
    Since possession of up to four ounces of pot is legal in Alaska, I'm guessing that six felony counts indicates some pretty serious shit.
  • tbhull · 11 months ago
    Who really gives a shit about the trials and tribulations of Alaskan meth trash, other than of course the republican party.
  • Kiwi Jackson · 11 months ago
    Ah, an opportunity to recall several favorite country song titles (all real I assure you)-

    I’m Just A Bug On The Windshield of Life
    Forget the Night, Help Me Make It Through the Door
    There Are Tears In My Ears from Cryin' On My Pillow Over You
    Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goal Posts Of Life
    What Made Milwaukee Famous Has Made A Loser Out Of Me
    I'm Drinkin' Doubles 'Cause She's Actin' Single
    I Just Fell In Something and I Sure Hope It’s Love

    Thankfully her arrest won't disallow her to become a member of St. Ricky's Saddleback ATM!
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 11 months ago
    The Wasilla Bible Church is filled with recovering meth-heads.
  • Ben Dover · 11 months ago
    Good to hear. I was soooo worried that she'd have to travel.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 11 months ago
    I'm thinkin' one of 'em set fire to the church. A meth-lab fire re-enactment thing.
  • Older_Wiser · 11 months ago
    The whole sordid saga is sad. Two kids, at least one a HS dropout (Levi and I'm going to presume Bristol as well) bringing up a kid with a drug dealing POS grandma on one side and a lying, fundie POS grandma on the other.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 11 months ago
    Mama Levi's mug shot will probably reveal the meth-head's fashionable "look": sunken cheeks, rotten teeth, glazed eyes, unwashed hair, general aura of skanky malnutrition.

    I'd go for that look myself, if it weren't so deadly. Instead, I am filling up on a recession diet of beans and macaroni.
  • jvsp · 11 months ago
    No one cares. But, if it makes it easier to get past getting smacked in the face over LBGT rights, go ahead. They have nothing to worry about.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 11 months ago
    Honey, us Americablog reg'lars ain't gettin' past ANY insult.
  • Ben Dover · 11 months ago
    LOL, you are so right!
  • tbhull · 11 months ago
    Rumor has it that Levi is cheatin' on Bristol with Ted Haggard.
  • Ben Dover · 11 months ago
    Teddy the Meth Head recently stated that he was still having to fight the demons of homosexuality, but was staying with his wife "for the sake of the children."
    I think he's only staying 'cause he lost his "massage therapists" phone number.
  • LowKey · 11 months ago
    I'm sure most everyone has already seen or heard this, but as for me, it never gets old.

  • Laur · 11 months ago
    I cannot begin to imagine how beneficial it must be for the children to have Ted stay in the house. But then again, they were probably raised differently from the way we were.
  • Kiwi Jackson · 11 months ago
    Hockey jock Levi with Aunt Teddy? Mmmaybe, although I peg him as more the slap & tickle in the gym shower sort.
    Let's make fun of these morons- can feel no pity for any of them after this jackass fiasco with Warren, except, perhaps, the hapless tot soon to be born.
  • Thomas · 11 months ago
    Why is this news?

    I'm all for heaping it on Palin but, really, did nothing else happen in the world this week?
  • anarchy · 11 months ago
    just small-town family values, y'all.

    (nothing to see here, move on folks.)

    I love it - schadenfreude to the max!

    I've said it once and I'll say it again:

    Sarah Palin is absolutely the BEST
    thing to happen in American politics
    in the last fifty years!!!
  • Doubting Thomas · 11 months ago
    Looks like Sherry might have been busy there in her kitchen cookin' up batches of something other than Moose Stew....
  • Bush Bites · 11 months ago
    You want to see something really scary?

    New batch of polls from Alaska says Palin is the favorite for the Senatorial Primary and General:

    QUICK, hide the Sudafed. Grandma's here.
  • TPierce · 11 months ago
    These people really are trailer trash. Not hillbillies. Hillbillies do not come from Alaska. They come from the Appalachians and all the mountain chains that make up the Appalachians. I would also like to add that there are a lot of damn fine hillbilly families who are not trailer trash (says the hillbilly).

    But these folks? They belong on Springer, not CNN.
  • Indigo · 11 months ago
    That whole "purpose drive life" business is creepy. I hear it on the radio here in Florida from time to time and even, occasionally, in check-out lines at the store where, believe it or not, people loudly testify to their "religious" beliefs. My belief is that it's all about loneliness and an attempt to overcome low self-esteem by attracting attention. I don't know whether it's all sadder than it is sick or sicker than it is sad.
  • LowKey · 11 months ago
    "That family is like a bad country song."

    Bad country song. . . . Isn't that redundant?

    ;-)

    They don't investigate people for a long time for mere possession .
  • RitornaVincitor · 11 months ago
    My entry for the country song title that best describes the Palin family:

    "From the Gutter to You Ain't Up"
  • FredJ · 11 months ago
    "The paper said that Alaska State Troopers charged Sherry Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance and fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession"


    Maybe the trooper don't like Caribou Barbie and Ken-doll Todd telling lies and illegally messing with one of their own.

    M.E.T.H.L.A.B
    (apologies to Tammy Wynette for D.I.V.O.R.C.E.)

    Our growin' boy up in Alaska, don't read or write worth a damn
    So, you betcha', we spell out some words so he don't understand
    Like T.O.Y or maybe S.U.R.P.R.I.S.E
    But the words we're hiding from him now
    Tear the heart right out of me.

    The Johnston M.E.T.H.L.A.B has been followed
    By a Grand Jury far up the hollow
    I love you both and jail will be pure H.E. double L for me
    Oh I wish we hadn't started That M.E.T.H.L.A.B

    Watch him smile, he thinks it's Christmas
    Or Bristol's 18th Birthday
    And he thinks C.U.S.T.O.D.Y spells fun or play
    I spell out all the hurtin' words
    And turn my head when I speak
    'Cause Sarah might hurt me, physically
    And leave blood drippin' down my cheek.

    Our little M.E.T.H.L.A.B has been busted
    Me and daddy shouldn't have got so dusted
    I love you both and jail will be pure H.E double L for me
    Oh I wish we hadn't started That M.E.T.H.L.A.B

    Sarah Palin's daughter's, fiance's mother got caught with drugs???

    Man, you guys are right! This Sherry Johnston woman really is trash! I guess there is nothing left for her but to become the next Democrat nominee for President of the United States!

    That is when the admitted (crack) cocaine user-elect is impeached and forced to move into the projects with his grandma or the shack in Africa with his brother.

    No danger of any intelligent thought on this blog I see.

    (And yes, as the first president-elect in history to be embroiled in corruption scandals (selling of senate seats, wife's $200,000 raise upon his election, convicted felon securing the sale of Obamas mansion for below market while purchasing his own adjacent mansion for exactly the same amount above market value, ACORN, intentionally making it easier to accept illegal campaign contributions over the web, etc...) before even taking the oath of office, the charming crook Obama is well on his way to impeachment. )

    And do you remember what Bushie said way back in 2000 when they asked if he had ever taken drugs? Hint: he didn't say "no."
  • mcnertny · 11 months ago
    Maybe her supplier is big fat limbo,,whats a few oxys
  • djny10003 · 11 months ago
    Imagine if they were black? A pregnant teenager, a teenage dad who says he enjoys "killing shit" and a drug-dealing mom. Small-town values, indeed.
