DISQUS

Chris From Maine · 11 months ago

no they arent married yet.. so I assume, according to Rick Warren, the child is a bastard and going to hell.. right?

woodnthrifty · 11 months ago

No.....only if he grows up and "chooses" to be gay he will go to hell. The parents, on the other hand, are headed in that direction.

RainbowPhoenix · 11 months ago

I suppose this puts to rest the rumors that Bristol is Trig's mother. But still, TRIPP?!?! I feel so sorry for that kid.

todd · 11 months ago

I read that the father, Levi Johnston (?), has dropped out of school and is working in the oil fields of North Alaska. So no wedding bells yet.

erik · 11 months ago

How'd he get such a good job in this economy? I wonder who got passed over foe that union gig so the guvners future son in law could get work

Bush Bites · 11 months ago

Should have named the kid "Tweak."

pat · 11 months ago

well when the kid hits 2, he'll be known as
"Bad Trip"

FreakOfNurture · 11 months ago

Funny. But don't dis my fish's name.

msobel · 11 months ago

DEUTERONOMY 22:13-21

Stone her.

Bush Bites · 11 months ago

Anything in that book about stoning the grandmother instead?

Zorba · 11 months ago

Oh, we wish. Love those Christofascist hypocrites!

Observer · 11 months ago

The baby's name is Tripp.

That must be how Bristol got pregnant.

She & Levi were just planning to make out naked.

While he was walking towards the bed... WHOOPS!

He just happened to trip and land in her virginal vagina!

Maybe he slipped on one of his mother's illegal Oxycontin pills!

Rev. Wrighteous · 11 months ago

Maybe they were tripping on Levi's mothers pills during conception?

Oxycontin is a helluva drug!

ndtovent · 11 months ago

LOL! I like that one.

willnyc · 11 months ago

So they're completely taking getting married for granted, not even allowing Tripp the dignity of a legal father (when EVERYONE knows that a family isn't complete without 2 straight white parents, right???) while they're all trying to tell me I CAN'T get married. I say we hound them until we have some answers.

No Hope In Politics · 11 months ago

Perhaps blackmail is involved?

"Get the charges dropped against my druggie mom. Then I'll make your daughter an honest women. Until then... how do I really know the baby is mine? Do you want to have to drag that question through media mud? Really?"

Beautiful.

Milk it for all it's worth, Levi.

Bush Bites · 11 months ago

Good thing she didn't take a Virginity Pledge.

She'd probably be having triplets then.

samiinh · 11 months ago

Isn't Trigg the son of Bristol and First Dude?

meemers · 11 months ago

LMFAO! I think your on to something!

curlytoes79 · 11 months ago

Aw man, I was hoping she'd name it "Bunk" or "Ploop" - although Ploop really works better for a girl.

meemers · 11 months ago

Sarah Palin The white trash Governor of Alaska, Why is it that her Children are not in college? I find it strange that she and her husband think so little of higher education. When she was out on the campaign trail she took her Willow out of school throughout the whole duration of the election. She used those children as props(poor little trig always draped across Willow on Sarah's shoulder like a rag doll). I could care less about her life, But I do find it strange that she would be proud of that Drop-out soon to be son in law and his drug dealer mother...
I wish that bitch pig in lipstick would just disappear!

woodnthrifty · 11 months ago

She needed Piper to help schlep around and babysit Trig.

Bush Bites · 11 months ago

Just reading all those names is giving me a headache.

I don't know how you can keep track of all those snow-hillbillies.

Queer Canuck · 11 months ago

Here's what's really strange:

After last fall's rumors that Bristol (not Sarah) was really Trig's mother, they tried to debunk this story by announcing that Bristol was preggers and so couldn't be the mother. The easy way to debunk the story would have been simply to produce Trig's birth certificate to prove Sarah was the mother. But no -- that's not what they did. Instead, Sarah announced to the world that her unmarried teenage daughter Bristol was pregnant. Now what kind of mother would do such a horrible thing to her daughter?

(Well, unless Trig's birth certificate said something different. Just sayin'.)

UncleGlenny · 11 months ago

Um, because Bristol really was pregnant and that would be a scandal that would come out anyway?

moreleesafer · 11 months ago

actually you are dead on. Sarah is (sadly) very typical in her attitude toward education.
Many people in Wasilla never finished high school and education is not a big deal to most people. Their drop out rate is high. Levi does what a lot of young men do. they drop out and go work in the oil fields or at another one of the industries in the area. You don't need a diploma to work as a grunt in the oil industry or be a mechanic. Basically, there is not real advantage careerwise, for most of the kids to finish high school.

cowboyneok · 11 months ago

They can't be all that politically savvy to name their baby "Tripp." I get it that that family has unique names but don't you think its rather unfortunate to name the child "Tripp" after the mother-in-law got arrested on drug charges?

RainbowPhoenix · 11 months ago

Fundies have no sense of irony.

AdmNaismith · 11 months ago

Besides which, Tripp is meant to be a nickname for the third male of a family with the patriarchal first name. It's not meant to be a given name. Nothin' but tra....

RainbowPhoenix · 11 months ago

If my brother learns this, he'll be even more glad that we didn't get our father and grandfather's first name.

KLG · 11 months ago

Lot of root rot in that family tree. All the best, Tripp. You're gonna need it!

But I was really hoping for "Calculus," which comes after Trig.

ndtovent · 11 months ago

I thought maybe "Diesel," after Levi.....

DeppFan · 11 months ago

Tripp? As in Linda?

Rev. Wrighteous · 11 months ago

Family 'tree'?

Sounds more like a WREATH!

Can I get an 'Amen!'?

bkmn · 11 months ago

What???...she didn't name him oxy after her baby-daddy's dealer mama???

Rob · 11 months ago

What happened to the planned marriage that made all of this okay for the fundies during the election campaign? What are they waiting for?
On a serious note, what kind of parents (or future inlaws) would encourage a teenage boy to drop out of high school?

erik · 11 months ago

I thought she was 5 monthes preggo at election time?

Britisher · 11 months ago

Tripp? Really?!!

I would have thought a "Real American"(tm) would name the kid "Truck-Nutz'!

DutchDyke · 11 months ago

What's with these people up there??!! Can't they figure out a semi-decent name for a baby????
Well, then again....it being the Meth Capitol of Alaska.....they must be Trippin'!!

SocraticGadfly · 11 months ago

No, Bristol/Levi not married yet, so in the lingo of Religious Righties like (Drug) Tripp's grandma, he's a bastard.

And, yes, People gets the first word. BUT, no pics!!!

One of several interesting things about the announcement.

WordSmith · 11 months ago

I'm at work and my sister calls and said this poor child has been born and guess what the name. I guess 'Trip' - how so, she asks? and accuses me of seeing the Internets. I say - puhleezeeeee! The kid's bloodline is famous for Ts - Trig, Track (Trac?). Why would these permafrosted hillbillies deviate from that?

Except it's with two 't's.

Kinda makes ya wonder what ole' Levi was up to, doesn't it?

TLV · 11 months ago

Trippy, Tripp, Tripp. I sure hope his brain functions correctly. This child needs all the hope and prayers he can get.

Sugar Smax · 11 months ago

Is her kid retarded, too?

Oh, wait...

It's a Palin.

What's the diff?

Monitor_One · 11 months ago

Making fun of a handicap is not cool. Next time I will delete the comment.

Sugar Smax · 11 months ago

So Sarah Palin is 'smart'?

Did I miss something?

MikeinSanJo · 11 months ago

Bible says handicapped are not allowed in church. (Unpure, etc.) What's the diff?

Would you please delete the bible too?

PLEASE?!?!?

Why do some "dems" feel the need to be so much more polite and proper, knowing nothing we say here comes anywhere near the disgustingly rude crap that spews from the right? The only thing that offends the right is calling the right on their own words. And I'm sure there's no Palins or Levi Jr.s reading this blog.

I'm SO tired of "DEMS" trying to be civil and being slammed for ANY & EVERYTHING they do or say. Haven't the liberal-progressives (I'm NOT a democrat, but continue to get fucked by them and their nemeses) learned yet?

TLV · 11 months ago

Don't you know? We Dems are not allowed to have a sense of humor...not even a dry one .

Bushit · 11 months ago

I thought retards were god's gift to comedy? I know I laugh at Dubbya all the time.

Willamina Solusander · 11 months ago

Did Bristol and Levi keep fornicating all the way through the pregnancy? Did Grandma Theocrat approve?

Queer Canuck · 11 months ago

I don't think so. I thought Levi was up north, working on an oil rig in what is probably a male-only environment. My guess is that he's chosen to be gay. It wasn't that he didn't like Bristol -- she was okay. But he made a decision to become gay, and so he left her for some hot man-on-man action. It's not clear why he chose to no longer be straight, but perhaps he watched too many episodes of Will and Grace. Anyway, it's his choice.

zoe · 11 months ago

Oy. Could I care less about this pathetic breach? What a waste of news.

kathyedits · 11 months ago

They are not married, Joe. They (supposedly) "plan to marry in 2009." Well, I suppose it would have to be in 2009 at this point.

Palin The Ass · 11 months ago

Isn't this whole family just like the most surreal collection of whack jobs you've ever seen? No wonder the rest of the world laughs at America (or Americans who would actually frickin' VOTE for Sarah Palin).

I'm still of the mindset that Trig was NOT born from Sarah Palin's womb. Maybe the math can't make it add up to being Bristol's, but - has anyone considered that maybe Willow birthed Trig? She's very young (14) but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I'll tell ya this: During the election, when Willow was holding Trig, she looked like his real mom. When Sarah was holding Trig - as a prop baby - she seemed very detached from her baby. It's just something I sensed. Anyone else?

Another wrinkle that someone kind of joked about here, but: You do all realize that the highest rate of incest in America is in Alaska, right? And incestual sex can lead to a down syndrome baby, correct?

I have no proof of ANYTHING I'm saying here. But with 4 months of examining this nutcase family, I swear - ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE? Including having two unmarried daughters under 18 getting pregnant. And their psycho grandma covering up the first one, and pretending it was her child.

Seriously, this could ALL be solved with Trig's birth certificate. But at this point, they could easily forge or fake something anyway.

"Desperate Housewives" plot royalties aside....

AngelaChanning · 11 months ago

You know, when I read that headline, the first thing I thought was "Wasn't she already a grandmother?", where I honestly thought that was the case, forgetting about the whole baby conspiracy.

As Betty White so astutely pointed out on Craig Ferguson's show, Sarah Palin is "one crazy bitch." I would not put it past her to create an elaborate ruse. But then again, Sarah Palin evokes the same disgust that I have for W, so I could imagine Sarah Palin driving a school bus full of kids off a cliff, too. LOL.

John hit the nail on the head - Palin and her lot are so busy worrying about other people's relationships, meanwhile the shotgun wedding of her tramp daughter has been put on the back burner. What a pack of trash.

Thank you for listening.

TLV · 11 months ago

Yup. Even a friend of ours who used to be all pro-Bush all the time commented recently that HE thought Palin's daughter, Bristol, had given birth to Trig.

catdance · 11 months ago

"Granny Palin."

I like it.

RitornaVincitor · 11 months ago

They probably want to hold off on the wedding until closer to Palin's next presidential run. If Bristol marries now it increases the likelihood of a messy divorce right in the middle of the campaign.

TLV · 11 months ago

Apparently you do!

moreleesafer · 11 months ago

The wedding:

Probably going to be on CMT--- a very special episode of "My Big Fat
Redneck Wedding".

Amy M · 11 months ago

I think Levi is waiting for a paternity test to be performed.

Saffi · 11 months ago

"If the right wing theocrats, like Bristol's mother, can obsess over who I could marry, I think Bristol's marriage is fair game for discussion."

I know you weren't serious about that, John, and you certainly have cause to be angry with Mom Palin and her ilk, but just to say it out loud:

NO, this teenager's marital status is NOT fair game to discuss, regardless of how vile and hypocritical her mother's views are.

It's not Bristol's fault that her mother is a raging egotist who would like nothing more than to make an ignorant and hateful worldview mandatory throughout the entire country. It doesn't even matter whether Bristol Palin herself is a Sweet-natured Teenaged Saint or a Junior Varsity Queen Bitch, she is a CHILD and no more deserves national attention and ridicule than Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter did.

The Obama girls are in for a hell of a time.

"If the right wing theocrats, like Bristol's mother, can obsess over who I could marry, I think Bristol's marriage is fair game ..."

Much like Mary Cheney and her S.O. - and child????
