Told Ya: Baby Mama Bristol Palin Will Remain Single Mother, Splits with Baby Daddy
By Debbie Schlussel
Hate to say it in this instance, but . . . . I told you so.
When I wrote a column about how Bristol Palin remains a single mother–a baby mama–and had no legitimate reason to prolong getting married, several worshippers at the alter of St. Sarahmessiah told me I was wrong, that these two kiddie-parents (the Palin daughter and boytoy Levi Johnston) would be married this summer.
But, you see, I never believed they’d be married. In fact, I thought their engagement was a fiction put on by the Palin family to help win the Presidential election. And, unfortunately, I was right. As I noted, this kid had a very pretentious name (“Tripp Easton Mitchell Johston”), but not what was far more important–a father married to his mother.
I’m not surprised that this future marriage was a fiction. That’s what campaigns are: showbiz. Smoke and mirrors. The daughter of Sarah Palin broke up with baby daddy Johnston several weeks ago, despite telling FOX News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren that they were going to be married when they finished high school. It was a lie.
I really don’t care much about these two pieces of trash, but for the fact that they’ve now added their progeny to the problems America faces with the kids of single mothers, which I’ve been detailing on this site and elsewhere for years.
But the issue I do care about is who will be the next Republican Presidential nominee. And how so-called social conservatives continue, with a straight face, to praise baby grandmama Sarah Palin (and chose her as their conservative of the year). She was not at home, when the pregnancy happened. She was busy blindly chasing her ambitions. And this is what happens when you have a working mother and a Mr. Mom, i.e., the Palins. Now, Todd Palin can proudly wear a new title, Mr. Grand-Mom.
You can attack me all you want for saying so, but working mothers are more likely to have kids who engage in premarital sex at an earlier age and they’re more likely to have kids that become parents out of wedlock. The Palins are just an embodiment of the facts and statistics.
And let’s be intellectually honest here. If one of Barack Obama’s daughters was a single mother, we conservatives would be legitimately all over it. Or if her name was Sha’niqua. Yet, most of the same people who would be all over it, don’t seem to have a problem with Sarah Palin and the family atmosphere from which she was absent that created this Baby Mama situation. Not only don’t they have a problem with it, they send me anti-Semitic and vile, unhinged e-mails exercising the c-word for daring to point this out.
“Conservative of the Year,” indeed.
I’m extremely bummed out that Barack Obama is President and is destroying this country. I voted for McCain-Palin in November.
But one thing I’m not bummed out about: That Republicans aren’t the party of this first–the first teen baby mama in the Vice Presidential mansion living on the public dole.
(Techically, lesbian Veep daughter Mary Cheney was a baby mama of sorts, since her significant he/she/it/whatever was pregnant with a kid, but not exactly the same thing. And at least she’s not a teenage kid having kids. Even so, that “first” was more than enough.)
The only one I feel sorry for here: this kid, who has the misfortune of being born to a single mother in a family that has far more pretensions than actual good values. Good luck, Tripp. You’ll need it. For your sake, I wish it were otherwise.
Sorry, kid, but you’re just not the luckiest bastard on earth. Or even in Alaska.
(Hmmm . . . am I still allowed to use the word, “bastard”?)
EXIT Question: How hard will it be for Levi Johnston to have that Bristol tattoo lasered off his finger? Hey, another reason why tattoos aren’t a good idea.
***
As reader “California Screaming” reminds me, there is an earmark for tattoo removal in the stimulus package. You know, the stimulus package which Baby Grand-Mama Sarah simultaneously claimed she was against and was fighting for her “fair share.”
**** UPDATE–“Musical” Accompaniment:
Well at least she didn’t have an abortion like many a pregnant teen. In this day and age it has come to this. She isn’t killing the unborn. To me it is still saying something. Something.
