Oh, dear. A rift in the unified Palin front! Somebody's not going to get an LV diaper bag for her birthday...
Sarah Palin may preach abstinence, but her daughter Bristol, left, says it isn't realistic.
Teen pregnancy? Not really a good idea.
Stopping teen sex? Ain't gonna happen.
So says Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Monday night that the abstinence her mom preaches is "not realistic at all."
Bristol Palin's pregnancy, revealed shortly after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate, shook up the last presidential campaign.
"Yeah, I'm a little smarter than she is, too."
I think there's a typo in the Daily News story:
Bristol Palin, who gave birth in late December...
Wasn't that April?

Didn't the mother ever have conversations with her daughter about using birth control if she was going to have sex?????

What's Bristol thinking of doing with the boyscout troop? It would be irresponsible not to speculate!

S.L. - per Palin's proselytizing, she's against birth control of ANY stripe be it abstinence, saran wrap, anal, whatnot...

Isn't that a pic of Bristol and Trig? Or has she had identical twins, separated by an 12 month gap between births?

note to self: omit obtuse reference to Harvey's Bristol Cream.

I have noticed that that abstinence thing works really well when there aren't any other females or males around. . .
Or animals.
Or vegetables.
Or socks.
Or fruits.
Or cylindrical objects
Or....

abstinence makes the heart grope fonder.

Bristol says abstinence isn't realistic.
Proving in three words that she's a little smarter than her mother.

Proving that she's a LOT smarter than her mother. But really? How hard is that?

Her Mother has state troopers for a backdrop and she has boy scout troopers for hers? What is it about men in uniform?

What is it about men in uniform?
It takes a Village, People

Is that a blank look of stupidity on her face or what? Momma Grizzly sure didn't pass along any smarts to her, but then Governor Snowflake didn't really have any to spare.

....Cute kid, I feel for her and her baby (not shown in this picture, maybe) I cannot in my wildest imagination understand how someone who bases all her political acumen on "FAMILY" values would drag her family thru this for her own political expediency. Some god she worships......

C'mon, I'm ready to cut her some slack. Sure, she's a dumb post-teenager; teenagers are supposed to be dumb. That's pretty much their only job.
But in those statements to Gretabot, she's shown that she has already surpassed her mother in the smahts department.
I cannot in my wildest imagination understand how someone who bases all her political acumen on "FAMILY" values would drag her family thru this for her own political expediency.
It isn't and never has been about HAVING Family Values©, it's about the APPEARANCE of said values.

Bristol sounds so much smarter than her mom that I wonder if someone switched the babies when Bristol was born.
