I think she said his name is "Tripp"? Mother and baby are fine.

[polichick]

1. Here's the "exclusive"...

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20245389,00.html

[LiberalHeart]

24. Does that mean People magazine paid them to be first to hear the news?

[polichick]

25. I think that's how it works. msnbc even mentioned People's exclusive.

[Hulk]

36. Great....now I can call here "grandma pig with lipstick"...

I'm so happy. When is the "shot-gun wedding"?

[kay1864]

65. Well at least now we know the answer to the "magazines and newspapers" question...

"Dammit Todd, where's my copy of People? How am I supposed to know what's going on in the lower 48?"

[polichick]

66. LOL

[Journeyman]

2. Tripp. Named him after the paternal grandmother, I guess. . .

[Blue_In_AK]

3. That's exactly what I said.

I thought this was a joke at first. I really can't believe these people. They couldn't come up with a better name than Tripp????

[notadmblnd]

5. Tripp with two Ps. that make it so much more legitimate.

:sarcasm:

[Dr.Phool]

26. Eightball or Carport just didn't have the right ring to it.

I was rooting for Moose Flop.

[IndianaGreen]

28. Named after Linda Tripp?

How naming the kid after Goebbels or Torquemada?

[monmouth]

4. Mika planning a lavish baby shower as we speak I suppose.

She would love to be the godmother, bring her closer to Sarah and all doncha know... LOL.

[murielm99]

6. Tripp. His name is Tripp.

It could be worse.

[stlsaxman]

33. I thought she was going to name him Flirnp...

or maybe Trask.

:shrug:

[hootinholler]

57. Given the father's last name is Johnson I figured

Hugh.

:shrug:

-Hoot

[stlsaxman]

62. That's "Huge"! I'm Serious!

:rofl: (never thought i'd have the chance to type that correctly- thank you!)

[Capt. America]

46. Way to go Ogle County Dems. I used to live in Oregon as a kid.

[Capt. America]

47. I thought Trip was a nickname for so-and-so "the third". I thought they would have gone with Nascar

[mopinko]

53. that's ogle county illinois. np

[Capt. America]

69. Yes, I know. I lived in Oregon, Illinois, located in Ogle County.

[mopinko]

70. oh yeah.

forgot we had an oregon here. my bad.

[glinda]

7. like "fall down" because she can't spell

[uppityperson]

8. "Tripp"? Had a friend name her child Heather since that was where she was conceived.

I wonder about "tripp". Oppps, I trippped?

[Common Sense Party]

17. I wonder if that's why I'm named El Camino? n/t

[Dr.Phool]

29. Immaculate Acid Conception.

[louis-t]

30. As the old joke goes:

"Why do you ask, Two Dogs F***ing?"

[hootinholler]

58. Or for cub scouts

Pooping Dog

-Hoot

[SharonRB]

9. Tripp?

Yet another wonderful Palin name. Sounds way too much like Trig.

The article says the baby was born yesterday. I'm surprised it took this long for the news to get out.

[peacebird]

11. "Tripp" like something one does on acid, and then spells badly? You know at least Zappa was rich

and a famous musician when he named his kids Dweezil and MoonUnit....

What is Bristol's excuse to hang this poor kid with such a moniker? And why didn't Levi talk some sense into her?

[Athletic Grrl]

19. Oh Levi, Levi, Levi....

You saw Levi's MySpace before he made it private, right? Lil' Miss ESPN is the brains of what relationship they have, and that's not saying much.

[DeeDeeNY]

14. This is what I think of when I hear that name

http://gawker.com/5086470/linda-tripp-still-in-the-mouth+blown-business

[madrchsod]

10. i wonder if the grammies visited at the same time,,,LOL

[mikelgb]

12. Tripp as in 'an accident'?

[Mad_Dem_X]

15. LOL! Exactly.

Whoops!

[LisaL]

13. Baby Tripp.

[santamargarita]

16. Why would anyone give a fuck about McCain's Pig

Her name stinks up my computer!

[bluestateguy]

18. Good for them. I hope mother and child are doing well.

And that should be all we hear of it from here on out.

[madamesilverspurs]

20. Forget the college funds for these kids.

They'll need the money instead for therapy. A great way to ensure a painful childhood for your kids is to give them weird names that their schoolmates will make fun of at every opportunity. Might as well hang a sign on them that says "beat me up".

[Ocracoker16]

43. how about group therapy?

they could have Bristol, Track, Willow, Piper, Trig, and Tripp together in a few years together in a group of kids with funny names.

[LuckyLib]

56. Bill Maher said the names sounded like someone was calling in airstrikes . . .

[marshall]

63. Many kids at the school where I taught had made up names

We used to joke that the parents threw down scrabble tiles and whatever came up was the kid's name. Some were even unpronounceable, and in desperation they concocted a nickname or else just went by their last name. Oprah used to joke that people just put a "shuh" onto a word to create a new name, and she said she was tired of it.

[Duer 157099]

23. Betcha Levi wanted to name him "Trapp"

Can't believe they settled on Tripp. What a trip. Totally.

[Dr.Phool]

32. LOL.

Yep.

[Faygo Kid]

38. Like the Von Trapp family?

Who escaped from the Nazis by crossing the mountains?

I'm sure Levi is planning the same tactic.

[ecstatic]

50. You win! LOL. He wanted that but didn't know how to spell it

:crazy:

[dapper]

27. They wanted to name it Crack...

err, never mind..

[Snazzy]

31. :

[cosmicone]

34. Grandson or stepson? n/t

[lynnertic]

35. born on my birthday.

:party:

[Faygo Kid]

37. Congratulations. I think.

If the kid grows up and goes to college in 18 years, I will be one surprised old dude.

I think it more likely that the father heads for the hills. Soon.

[lynnertic]

39. Thanks! My birthday wish - sincerely - is that

any child born in America today, including Tripp, will be able to go to college when they come of age, if they want to. And if not, I wish them a good living in the trades. I wish for even line cooks, maids, lettuce pickers and dishwashers to earn a decent living and get whatever education they desire to persue.

Our children, including Tripp, are our future.

Seriously, look what he gets to rebel against!


May it be so!

[superconnected]

49. Happy Birthday!

:party:

[shaniqua6392]

40. Tripp? That sounds like someone who "pals around with terrorists".

I am so pissed that we still hear about this woman in the media. Ugh. I had hoped to never hear her whiny voice again, but I have a feeling we will never be rid of her.

[nc4bo]

41. Tripp?! Trig?! Track?! Jeezus - wadda family. nt

[superconnected]

48. trip wires, trigger happy, moose tracks ... I think they have an issue with killing things.

[onehandle]

42. Congrats on the little bastard, Grandma!

Now go away you white trash grifters.

[Dappleganger]

44. Did the righteous couple ever get hitched?

I don't think that Jesus will rapture their bastard son in the 2nd coming!


:sarcasm:

[Kahuna]

45. I'll bet she gushed. She'll be forgiven though. Mika really does

love babies. During the primaries she used to grab babies in the diners they would broadcast from.

[Politicalboi]

51. I guess

Meth was taken.

[Shardik]

52. Only other "Trip" I have seen. (Called Trip because he was Chas. Tucker the Third)

[nc4bo]

55. There was also the infamous Captain Trips from SK's The Stand, also with 1 "p" and an "s" hehe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Trips

Captain Trips is a fictional virus occurring in the Stephen King novel The Stand.

A form of superflu (influenza), it originates in an American biological weapons laboratory under the Mojave Desert in California, commanded by a General William "Billy" Starkey, and is hinted to have been created by breeding a hybrid of influenza and an AIDS-like illness. 99.4% of the human population is vulnerable and the disease is universally and swiftly fatal to those that catch it. Those who are immune to Captain Trips are utterly immune — in one instance, protagonist Stu Redman is unknowingly injected with the virus, only to have his immune system kill it. No medical basis for this immunity is identified in the research conducted, nor is it discovered why some people have immunity (although it is implied that the survivors are chosen by a higher power). The only evident connection between the immune persons that doctors identify is that all seem to be heavy, vivid dreamers.

[DebbieCDC]

60. My favorite Stephen King book of all time

[Myrina]

54. "Coffee Oxy Palin-Johnston"

:rofl: Call him Meth for short.

[fjc]

59. They never married, did they?

[Jim Lane]

61. Wedding is said to be planned for 2009

From in People, the definitive journal of Palin family studies: "Johnston ... told the Associated Press in October that he and fiancée Bristol plan to wed in 2009 and raise the child together."

[Regret My New Name]

64. For some odd reason, I don't really care....

Hmmm, but for some odder reason I care enough to say I don't care. OMG!!1! I've become one of 'those' posters.

[MrsBrady]

67. damn, i just got up

I missed the announcement.

damn

[TEmperorHasNoClothes]

68. Is giving trailer trash that kind of money a good idea?

I think not.
