Bristol -- Helping Sarah's Public Image

I’ve already made some snide remarks about a prominent Democrat’s daughter.

It’s only fair I move on to a prominent Republican’s daughter.

And who better to pick on than the daughter of the GOP’s sweetheart, Bristol Palin?

You probably heard of 19-year-old Bristol’s announcement that she was engaged (again) to her baby’s father, Levi Johnston. That announcement was made official on July 14.

You probably also heard of the engagement’s termination (again), also made official on July 14.

The media is lapping this one up. Love! Intrigue! Betrayal!

First Bristol made things a little awkward for her mom by getting pregnant at about the time the then-vice-presidential candidate was touting her convictions about teen abstinence.

Since then, Bristol has attempted to smooth the awkwardness over by getting engaged to Levi -- then breaking up with him -- then getting engaged to him again and breaking up with him again practically on the same day.

Wow.

Yeah, you’re really helping out your mom’s attempt to build a Mayberry RFD public image ahead of the 2012 elections.

Sarah Palin has some backpedaling to do.

First of all, if I were to give Sarah some advice, I would start by telling her to scrap the whole “perfect family” façade. It ain’t exactly working.

Second, I’d tell her to go for the “average, dysfunctional, drama-saturated, can’t-keep-a-commitment, my-teenage-daughter-is-pregnant American family” look. Reasons? One: That’s what the Palin household is. Just cut the crap and admit it. Two: If you want to identify with the average American family (i.e., potential voters), this is the way to do it. You’re walking their walk, you’re living their life.

But I suppose that would mean going for the “honest politician” look. That, of course, would be declaring to the American public that you’re full of it, since we all know there’s no such thing.

Yup, the Palin clan is in a bit of a tough spot.

All thanks to Bristol and her sound judgment regarding sex and relationships.

I wonder if somewhere about now, Sarah is swatting Bristol on the back of the head.

“Is there anything ELSE stupid you can do?”

Well . . . she could always become her mom’s publicist.

"Vote for my mom! She may not be able to make me toe the line, but she'll do a great job running an entire country!"

Oh yeah. I'm sold.

  1. Well i have to disagree a little bit on this one. First off Sarah has never tried to come off as a perfect family.She has talked frankly about the ups and downs of her life. She has even said she thought for just a brief moment about aborting her baby when she found out it had Downs. She is very human and also a Christian which is why she and her family have been butchered by the media.She was very popular in the state of Alaska. She ran her state very well, giving up a lot of "perks" such as the private jet.She and her husbands total income the year she ran for VP was 169,000 dollars. Some of that went to charities. She does not deny Christ, she talks openly about Abortion and same sex marriages being an abomination to God.This is why the liberals hate her and have trashed her and her family. God said that the world would hate those who loved him.Do i think she should be pres? No. I think she needs to be a voice in the Senate or House.
    Now for Bristol, she openly spoke to teens telling them NOT to get pregnant at this age. She loves her Son but its too young. She has made it because of the support of her family. Bristol made a mistake and she admitted it! She didnt abort the baby and thats what miffed even Obama who stated "I will not force my Daughters to have a baby!".Bristol wasnt forced either but she was taught that the baby growing inside her was a life and innocent. Hmmm imagine being taught that by a "disfunctonal"family.Finally, Bristol is not marrying Levi because he has again gotten a teen pregnant and needs to deal with that. He also has been a snake in other ways too. Posing for play girl mag, telling lies about Bristols family among other things. The media loves him. He dishes the dirt(for a price) to them.
    I wont take the bait of the liberal media whos goal is to make money trashing Christian people and raising perverts and Sickos to god like figures.
