So, are you saying there's a political party that doesn't want to micromanage my personal life?

Amen.

What?! A "family" with no daddy? And you say Sarah's not only okay with this, but thinks it's a fine idea?

More proof, if any was needed, how mean spirited that bunch of smiling snakes are.

@6 Well, Kevin Federline did end up being the stable parent. YOU don't know. You also don't know how much his parents are willing to invest in making sure he learns to do things right. Which is, actually, very much a consideration in many custody proceedings when the parents are particularly young.

And frankly, unless the Palins have videotape of Levi putting his beer on the baby's back or using it to buff his snowboard or something similar, they ought to lose custody altogether for even suggesting that he loses his parental rights. Its a horrible fucking card that a lot of young mothers play once they realize that squirting out a podling did not magically turn their boyfriends into doting, mindless slaves.

I wish people were more concerned with living up to their own standards and convictions.

6, I don't think anyone's arguing that since there isn't remotely enough public information about that, and what of it there is doesn't look good.

However, the point stands. Palin raised a kid who got knocked up underage by a complete loser and still thinks she should be able to legislate other people's sexual and family choices. I don't think her and her family's mistakes are the end of the world, but it certainly shows that she has her own messes to clean up and isn't terribly qualified to tell others what to do with theirs.

Also, whatever anyone may think of Levi, he's absolutely right to keep this as public as possible. This is a woman who was officially found to have abused her political position to execute personal family vendettas in the very recent past. I feel bad for Bristol and the baby, but I think there's very little chance of a fair hearing without public scrutiny. Yet another sad situation caused by Palin's questionable family management choices.

All I have to say is the Palins should hang their fucking heads in shame for making an innocent child a playing card in this struggle between themselves and Johnston. When my stepdad and his wife were divorced, their two kids were put right in the middle of everything and fought over like steaks in a pen of starving dogs. You should see how screwed up those two are now.

Karl Rove is getting a divorce. Wooo!

@9 I've found that the people who are living up to their own standards are most often not the ones demanding that everyone else live up to their standards. For people like the Palins, it's easier to condemn the failures of others than confront their own. Merry belated Christmas, by the way.

Yes and Karl Rove got divorced last week so he can ride Guckerts dick as often as he can sneak him into his house now, oh and afford to pay him for the pleasure.

The other day I caught a moth and threw it out the front door, pretty much unharmed. I care more about that moth than any of the Palins ... or ex-Palins.

The Palins are grotesque "family"--utterly gothic. Levi Johnston is the only sane one in the group, the only one with enough courage to expose the Dragon Lady Palin as to her motives--she left her position in Alaska in order to be able to make millions by writing her vengeful book.

Let's look a bit deeper. Does anybody think Bristol, having sole custody of Tripp will look better standing behind mom on the campain trail? I can see it now - The Palin Women show strength, or some such bullshit. It seems like we always have to look at the bottom line when dealing with this family.
