I meant to post this Monday or something. Me bado.
Please believe this chick Bristol Palin is NOT pregnant as of September 1, 2008 when that pregnancy confession broke.
In a matter of hours, the rumors that were floating around Alaska floated down to the rest of us about Sarah Palin's 17 year-old pregnancy. Sarah Palin suggests she was pregnant and gave birth to a child with Down's Syndrome in April 2008. When blogs began to put the puzzle pieces together with archival footage of Palin in her supposed pregnant state against those of her 17 year-old daughter at the time, well what do you know...the Palins give a story Monday morning stating that Bristol, their 17 year-old daughter is currently 5 months pregnant and plans to marry the babydaddy.
Let me tell you how this saga will play out in the next few weeks:
Already, the McCain campaign state that they already knew about Bristol Palin's pregnancy and chose her to be on the presidential ticket anyway. Sarah Palin will be obtuse about the issue and continue to state that she's proud of her daughter, proud of her decision to make a family and that she and her husband are happy to become grandparents.
A few weeks will pass through the election cycle. A few weeks before election day November 2nd, before Bristol and the babydaddy are supposed to tie the knot, there will be an announcement that Bristol Palin has miscarried, thus no reason to wed. Republicans will troll every fucking where for sympathy and demean anyone who had anything negative to say about the Palin saga before and making it difficult to criticize her as a candidate later because she just lost a grandchild and is in mourning.
The Repugs are playing this too cool. Republicans never have any record to run on, but they are masters at manipulating the emotions of the voting public. They have their marching orders and are ready to shower the McCain/Palin ticket with sympathy for their "terrible loss".
Not our business? Why is this personal family issue being discussed, you ask.
Why the Palin teenage pregnancy story is fair game:
Sarah Palin is strickly pro-life. Palin is steadfastly against a woman's right to choose, even in cases of rape or incest. Palin only supports abortion when a doctor finds that a pregnancy endangers the life of a woman. This is very interesting when it's stated that Palin's daughter in fact did have a choice in this matter and decided to keep the child and marry the babydaddy (albeit with a shotgun to her back) as opposed to exploring other options (and you know it wasn't adoption).
Sarah Palin is against medically-based sexual health education in school. Palin believes that public funds should not be dedicated for such a purpose. Palin is only in favor of abstinence only education in schools, opting to tell kids to keep in their pants until marriage.
Um, yeah.
I'm willing on betting the house on this exact story playing out in the next few weeks.
And another thing:
This backwards wench needs a stylist and a clue quick fast and in a damn hurry. Her old ass needs an intervention with that damn butterfly clip.
