Watch Out! Bristol Palin is thinking again.

Bristol Palin Blames Obama’s Daughters for His Embrace of Same-Sex Marriage

Bristol Palin

Bristol Palin suggests that President Obama’s daughters Sasha and Malia are behind his embrace of same-sex marriage rights, and she thinks that’s a shame. In a blog post titled “Hail to the Chiefs – Malia and Sasha Obama,” the 21 year old daughter of former presidential candidate Sarah Palin criticized the president for being overly influenced by his family. ”While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage,” wrote Palin, a single mother. “Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview. In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.” She continued, “sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.”

But all that aside, I look forward to hearing from young Ms. Palin about the influence her child's father has in her child's life. Sometimes, Bristol, it's better to observe a period of silence during which you may be thought a foolish ninny than to post your ruminations and remove all doubt.

It isn't her brain. It has been in a coma since she was born.

.... her mother wrote her own books.

"Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview." Can you say ghost writer?

I've heard her speak. She's not that bright.

On edit: Did she ever graduate from high school? And usually when you point fingers, you should at least have some credibility on the issue. If she ended up unwed and pregnant, obviously HER dad failed to lead the family.

She has a brain stem, perhaps, that keeps her body going. But not a rational brain.

It's how the illiterate Palins work. Have someone ghost written on Facebook.

Watch an interview with her, she can't speak let alone write. Just like her mother.

When did she become noteworthy?

Sometimes children can lead us to peace. Again, Bristol, hypocrisy flags your ignorance.

on the matter.

By her own logic, her opinion doesn't count.

Apparently this morning, over a bowl of Hypocrite Flakes (breakfast of mavericks!), a lightbulb went off overhead and there it was! A perfect plan to hog some more undeserved media attention! At which point the lightbulb set her hair on fire.

This entire family needs a healthy dose of Ignore.
