Are you crazy? The flashing white words are what seal the deal!
What seals the deal for me is the raining effect on the screen behind her.

It must be true, or else someone would have her arrested. Oh wait shes not on television…

Would that honestly surprise anyone?
I find this slightly implausible. I’m sure that Palin wasn’t crying herself to sleep at night over her daughter making the show, but there’s no downside to this for Bristol. Before the show, she was primarily famous for getting knocked up by a really dumb guy that she wasn’t married to. Now she’s also famous for not dancing very well all the way to the semifinals of one of the highest rated shows on television. I’m not sure why she’d need to be “forced” to do that. I mean, Sarah Palin is a nut, but I’m pretty sure she wasn’t lurking outside of her daughter’s bedroom with a rubber hose, doing her best Insane Pageant Mom impersonation.
The only reason I find it plausible is that it’s, well, Sarah Palin.

I don’t think, in Palin’s case, it’s an impersonation.
I think it’s pretty clear Bristol has the same hopes and aspirations of all young ladies her age: to have her own reality show. I’m sure it’ll be pitched as a wholesome, chaste alternative to Keeping Up With The Kardashians and will involve a lot of speaking at high schools about the dangers of teen pregnancy, etc., as well as of course helping mom out on the book signing/campaign trail.
And don’t forget the dancing. She placed third in Dancing with the Stars so she must be good!
Why is she a "star’? Hell, why is Kim Kardashian a “star”? Outside of porn, when did become acceptable for someone to become famous for getting fucked?

Heh I had images turned off and I KNEW it was going to be a pic of her.
Oh god.
Comedian Margaret Cho and teen mother Bristol Palin were on Dancing With the Stars together. Last week, Cho claimed that Sarah Palin forced Bristol to participate. So Bristol hit Facebook (as Palins do) with a rebuttal. And a lesbian joke.
Is this what tabloid addiction is like?

Looks like tabloids are the choice. Very smart move by McCullough.
P.S. If you want to baby-sit Tripp, I could use a night off.
Poor beleaguered-working-mom barely has time to fit in a whole season of a reality show.

While Palin’s hunting-for-TV jamboree certainly impressed the hockey moms, it seriously eroded her base of genuine hunters. One online commentor, on Sean Hannity’s website no less, grumbled, “I turned on Sarah Palin’s Alaska a minute ago and she just shot four maybe even five times at a caribou and missed. Needless to say I’m not impressed with her ability to handle a firearm let alone aim it and hit something.”
On Palin’s own Facebook page, a viewer wrote, “What a joke. I was a fan before the show. No one who is a true hunter lets others carry their rifle or can’t load their own shells. Sarah, you are a phony in this area of your 'skills.”
Several others wondered why Palin, an experienced hunter, didn’t bring her own rifle, pointing out that familiarity with one’s weapon is a core principle of hunting. Another pointed out, regarding Palin’s veteran hunter dad, “I was surprised to see him using the gun as a walking stick.”
Several hunter friends to whom I showed the video were less than impressed. All agreed that she did not look like she had handled a gun many times. One, who just posted his November kill on his Facebook profile, said “I would not hunt with her.”
In the episode, Palin is handed a second gun, which, thanks to good video editing, she uses to down the animal in one shot.
That’s kind of surprising. Not that she lied about being an experienced hunter, but that her fan base would care, even the gun enthusiasts. At this point I thought they were reduced to people who didn’t care what she lied about about, or how obvious the lies were.
Hunting is serious business. ™
