No thread about Levi and Bristol splitting up??
 

Who?

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif ACK!

The Palin kid and her baby-daddy.

She used to be a contender.

This might have been relevant if it had happened in 2008, if only to further weaken the conservatives ticket. The only way I see it being relevant is in Palin's hopelessly optimistic own presidential run in 2012. Possibly in the gubernatorials in 2010... maybe.

Either way, more proof, if any were needed, that she wasn't ready for prime time. You can imagine the furore that would have broken out if Obama's camp had something like this in the closet.

1. Not surprised.
2. Don't care.

Well, she's hot and crazy. Like Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct, except we don't get to see her naughty bits.

Last year, I saw Sarah Palin's announcement that Bristol and Levi would wed "sometime next summer" on CNN while I was standing in a lounge full of foreign service officers. I immediately said, "I've got 5 bucks that says that wedding never happens -- I'm serious! Who wants in?" But no one took me up on it.

Stupid, farsighted foreign service officers. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif

Oh, and now I've got $5 that says Levi ends up in a thematically-appropriate pr0n film sometime soon.

Not yet anyway.

He indicated to the Alaska press that they were over before the nomination. He apparently wanted nothing to do with her. However, when future mother-in-law is running for the number 2 spot in the Republican world, you kowtow, modify your mullet, and buy a suit. Once the race was over, the couple reverted to their previous status. Not a surprise, and a very long way from news.

Unless funding sources are appearing in Juneau, Palin's not running in 2012 or ever again.

Palin's not running in 2012 or ever again. I don't believe that for a second. She will give it a shot.

i never got why ppl were obsessed with palin's appearance. She's an old fart that looks pretty decent.... In a place where there arent that many attractive people.

whatevers.

No, not that. I was referring more to the conservative political stance of no sex before marriage (which Bristol already broke from) and the fact that her boyfriend was going to marry her anyway, which would have turned a potential liability into a family-values-friendly situation again.

The fact that the marriage didn't happen further underlines the fact that Palin's family isn't a particularly good example of living the conservative credo.

My point was more about a political candidate drawing fire when their families don't live up to their party's professed viewpoints. If Obama had some similar transgression in his family I believe the conservatives would have turned it into a political talking point very quickly.

I suspect you knew all that anyway, though.

Liar.

Well Levi appears to be fulfilling the "absence only" bit of that, isn't he? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif
