Bristol reconciles with Levi

[Rudy50]

The one and only thing that makes me sympathize with Sarah Palin is Levi Johnston. She's known for years that this kid is a going-nowhere nudnik (despite being good looking) and she hasn't been able to keep her daughter away from him. Sarah moved Bristol for her junior year to Anchorage (with Sarah' sister) to attend high school there but ended up graduating back at Wasila High in 2009. My guess is that Sarah was trying to put some distance between Bristol and Levi, but Levi managed to slip in there anyway, and Bristol got pregnant in the early spring of '08 (baby born in December, 2008). So, might as well have the pregnant kid move in back home. Levi's been a nightmare for Sarah ever since.

I wonder, too, how good a relationship has with Bristol. Is part of the attraction to Levi the fact that her parents (with good reason) despise him?

[Knot Again]

See this is why you don't keep kids apart. It turn into "me and my man against the world" whereas she likely would have bored of him by now otherwise.

OTOH how the hell do you have a functional relationship with VPILF as your mother and potential mother in law? I think they were two young people under a lot of pressure.

I wish his mouthy sister would STFU. No one wants to hear that. She's not helping and is just inserting herself into someone else's drama. Perhaps her brother is bowing to the Palin Pressure. Guess what, he's gonna have to deal with them for the rest of his freaking life. It might just be in his best interest to do precisely that and make some peace.

but Levi managed to slip in there anyway...

He sure did.

I'm sure that's the vast majority of it. Nevertheless, the girl is 19 so she fully has the right to ruin her life any way she sees fit. And fortunately Sarah Palin has the resources to pick up the pieces a year or two or three down the road when the girl and Mr. I-Hope-To-Get-My-GED get divorced. I'm sure this whole thing will end up being very lucrative for him in terms of future spousal support . . . and afterwards he can always make the talk show circuit again badmouthing his babymomma's family. What a weasely little fuck. Someone needs to beat his punk ass.

Holy photoshop wtf happened to Bristol? That doesn't even look like her.



Also, I gotta give Mrs P credit:
"Bristol at 19 is now a young adult," it read. "We obviously want what's best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives."

That is the best "I have no idea wtf she is thinking" statement ever!

Yeah I basically interpreted it as "she is legally a grown-up now and is entitled to make her own mistakes."

Yeah, but that might be a speechwriter. BTW, I agree with you about the cover shot.

Christine Lavin may have a new verse to write for her song "What Was I Thinking?"

I'm fascinated by the Palin family circus, so I bought the US magazine yesterday and read the story. The girl sounds like she's in luurrvve as Knot would say. Apparently she got close to a 3.5 gpa in h.s., which even without AP courses means she was reasonably diligent and not a complete idiot. Likely she's been pretty lonely for male companionship as a pretty, single mom working as a clerk in a dermatologist's office, and simply walking with a good looking guy with whom she already had sex, in a non-confrontational situation rekindled her feelings for him. If he's had enough of the fame train and just gets and holds a steady job, maybe they can have a future. I am reminded of the scene in Annie Hall when Alvy (Woody Allen] sees a pretty, Waspy couple walking down the street in NYC:

Alvy Singer: Here, you look like a very happy couple, um, are you?
Female street stranger: Yeah.
Alvy Singer: Yeah? So, so, how do you account for it?
Female street stranger: Uh, I'm very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say.
Male street stranger: And I'm exactly the same way.

Bristol clearly has some love/hate issues going on with her mom. I mean really, it is a little cruel (passive-aggressive?) to let her mom know about the engagement in a pop magazine release. Not two months ago she was quoted in a People magazine online piece as follows:

As a single mom to baby Tripp and the new owner of her own Anchorage condo*, Bristol Palin has become domestic. But when the 19-year-old mentions "dirty laundry," what she's referring to is her past with Tripp's father, Levi Johnston.

"He is a stranger to me," Palin tells Harper's Bazaar for its June/July issue about her former fiancé – whose public behavior, including posing for Playgirl, she claims to ignore.

*[emphasis mine] I wonder how she swung this without support from her parents? Maybe her speaking fees?

Somewhere I read this may all be the beginning to a new reality t.v. series, a la Kate and Jon. Oh please let it be true.

Never forget Rudy, it's amazing what a good looking man with a bit of charm who knows how to lay the pipe can get away with.



that boy would get away with a lot with me LOL. However, I'm a sucker, I mean a total sucker, for dark hair and eyes, so maybe I am biased.

It probably helps with you that he played that ice skating sport, too.

Yeah, I am real glad my family never went into politics. I so woulda been my dad's Bristol LOL!

Knot,

I don't think this should be limited to just adults. Part of me thinks that I may have been done with Robocop long ago if people at PF and my RL friends didn't have such a major issue with him. I think that's partly true for him also. When we are alone, it feels so taboo when it really shouldn't for two consenting adults.

[Trin]

I just read this morning he knocked another chick up during their break-- lets hope little Palin decides that it isn't a good idea to marry him until paternity shows he is not the baby daddy. Or, suddenly her income may factor for support of the other kid.

[Knot Again]

Actually Trin in that case I definitely would marry him as it would assert me and my child's place as "primary" family.

Yeah I'm a bitch that way. I don't want to play second to some other woman and her brood. I'll love on her kids and treat them good but my place will be clearly defined as above hers.

I'm glad she dumped him officially now. I don't get the whole "primary family" my girls were raised without a father they seem fine. What difference would it make to be married? other than baby momma sticking her hand out every time Bristol got paid for a speaking engagement. Let Mr. Backstabber finance the offspring he plans to have, he's got all kinds of plans lined up, and one day he will be like Danny Bonaducei and be in some celebrity rehab reality show.

For me it's that I find women manage their multiple baby daddys way better than men manage multiple baby mamas. It seems with multiple mamas, the guy is always pretending one group of kids are more important than the other. I want my kids to be the important group. I'd rather have them have no father than have to compete with a new wife and her kids. IME those "not in the home" kids always lose.

[Rudy50]

I may stop feeling sorry for Bristol now that she's jumping into the reality t.v. world with "Dancing with the Stars". Her mom selfishly and callously entered the national campaign knowing the girl was pregnant and would be subject to withering public scrutiny. All Bristol did was give in to human passion without protection and lost the gamble, something that happens to thousands of teenage girls every year.

But now she's trading on her fame in an even crasser way than her speaking tours with this dance show thing. Famous for being famous. Maybe at least the workouts will let her take off some the baby fat left over from the pregnancy.

Haha Maybe she will fall in love with Mike "The Situation" her competitor and land a spot on The Jersey Shore. I don't watch Dancing With the Stars, it use to air right before Lost so I caught the tail ends.

So mom should derail her own life/career because her poor innocent daughter couldn't keep her pants zipped up? I think not.

Her place was at home taking care of her disabled son and fucked up daughter. I am disgusted so called family value republicans don't realize this.

Not so much stay at home but delay national aspirations, if she had any, until the home life stabilized a little. Governor of Alaska and heir apparent to Ted Stevens was where she was and could have continued without throwing Bristol under the national press bus. Serving her term and contemplating a Senate run could have enabled her to read up on current international events and geography, subscribe to some newspapers and generally stop being such an ignoramus.

True. Very true.

But if she had, there wouldn't be all those hot photos of "the pit bull in lipstick" floating around the internet now would there?
