Remember when we weren’t supposed to criticize Bristol Palin? Remember when we weren’t allowed to discuss Bristol’s decision to have premarital sex in light of her mother’s position on abstinence? Remember when we weren’t allowed to point out that Bristol’s decision to keep her baby—celebrated on the right—was meaningless in the absence of some alternate option for Miss Palin? Some other choice? Remember when we weren’t allowed to debate Bristol’s private life, her decisions, and her opinions, because she was a young women, she wasn’t her mother, she wasn’t running for public office, and we should respect her privacy—something her mother and her political allies aren’t prepared to do for anyone else—and blah de blah blah?
Well, that was before Bristol described abstinence as “not realistic at all”—and not just with her actions, but with her words. Now abstinence groups are attacking Bristol for suggesting that, gee, expecting teenagers to abstain from sex until marriage—and teaching them nothing about birth control—isn’t terribly realistic. (Via Kos.)
`@48 Holy Shit! Bristol met Mr. Right? a flunkie, dumbass, no talent hockey player who is unemployed?
And normal? A home-schooled ignoramus with her mother’s speaking ability? I never knew home-schooled children were normal. I thought kids who go to school were normal.
I pray Bristol is NOT a hero to anyone.
She is a kid who no one would have heard of if not for the fact that her mom is famous.
Dan is a PRICK who is fixated on her.
As a famous (in his own mind) person with a kid Dan should use better judgement.
Karma has a way of biting you in the ass when you are an ass.

a) She is isn’t a kid, she’s an adult. Yes, a young one, but still an adult.
b) I don’t read this post as Dan picking on her, I read it as Dan picking on the abstinence groups that are displeased with her for her opinion.
I’m fixated on her too. My theory is that Trig was hers, born premature, and not in April at all, at which point Sarah Palin decided the kid would be “hers” – to Bristol’s chagrin, but Bristol got paid off. But Bristol’s still pissed, so she goes and has another kid and names it TRIP! That way her mom is still forced to publicly deal with the reality of her daughter’s pregnancy, because she can’t the second one [Bristol was pulled out of school during the Trig pregnancy], and she’s still going to support Bristol because Bristol has something on her.
Bristol is my idol.
