Bristol Palin Wants to Be VP
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 11:26 AM by CLG_News
Bristol Palin Wants to Be VP By Lori Price 06 Sep 2008 Bristol Palin: "'I'm also hoping my mother wins to be Vice President, who knows maybe someday I'll be following in her footsteps??" Yes, after the baby is born and the shotgun wedding has taken place, Bristol aspires to be a vice president, too! "Please don't judge my mother or me, she's the best mother in the world. Listen to her and what she has to say, don't forget to vote her!" --Even if we did forget to vet her. (Actual quotes from Bristol Palin's MySpace profile page, with commentary)
http://www.legitgov.org/price_bristol_wants_vp_060908.html

<snip>

A 'My VP Candidate is HOTTER Than Your VP Candidate' graphic is proudly displayed on Bristol Palin's MySpace page.

*NO* sexist comments (or questions) from the liberal media peanut gallery, please!

Hillary Clinton is NOT the 'Hot VP (or P) Candidate' -- so all of Hillary's puling about sexism (even when pundits declared Hillary was *out of the race* long before she decided to actually leave the race -- you know, right after she submitted legislation to boot Bush's mercenaries from Iraq in Afghanistan) was just crazy! Remember, it's only *sexism* when Karl Rove adds sexism to the playbook -- and he did! It's right between POW and POW.

John McCain's handlers (leftover 'deciders' from the Bush Administration) determine what sexism is and its (GOP) victims. They have concluded that only a 'hot' Republican can use beauty as an electability element so that they can then rail against the 'sexism' perpetrated by the media resulting from the profile that they themselves created. Rove need not worry about the media. Faux News will not reveal the irony that the GOP -- while denying equal pay for equal work and a women's right to choose -- can simultaneously play the sexism card to justify a candidate whose main qualification is . . . a comely appearance.

2. To my ears, "Bristol" is an awful name for a woman.
It's the slang equivalent of "tits" where I grew up (England).

4. Thanks so much. I go to the
UK, specifically Wales, pretty frequently. I never heard this. Now when the folks I hang with other there start goofing on her name, I'll know what's up.

7. How would we have felt if this were Chelsea??
Attacking children is NOT the answer. There is SO much to attack sarah palin on , we do not need to bring up the kids. The mother seems to be a complete lover of bush and co., but let`s not go off the deep end to indict her children. WE WILL LOSE IF WE GO AFTER HER CHILDREN.

21. While I agree with you totally, it still makes me uncomfortable to attack a 17-year-old.
Hillary was a rabid "mama bear" where her daughter was concerned. I totally respected that as a mom and grandmom. I do not see mrs. palin coming to the defense of her child. When I see her child paraded across the stages of America with very pregnant belly, to prove "something" to the rabid religious right. Mama palin seems to be saying, "you are on your own, kid, now you will OWN the consequences". Mama believes "you play ,you pay". Her poor child pays the price. Somehow it just breaks my heart to see this child treated this way.

8. Nice writing skills there. Both sentences posted are grammatically incorrect.
But, hey, that might just be me being elitist.

10. yes, I know. I guess I should have been more clear: She's an uneducated idiot.
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 11:59 AM by Iris
And she's about to raise a child. Nice. If only I had family values like that.

15. There are fake MySpace pages for famous people...
...and I assume the MySpace page of someone famous is fake until I'm persuaded otherwise.

Secondly, if Bristol Palin really does want to run for VP in 20 years, we can deal with that 20 years from now.

16. That's Bristol Palin's page. As to twenty years hence,
...I think you skipped the 'humor' element in the essay.
