Jr Palin and baby daddy broke up. NO weddin
Alaska Gov. Palin's daughter's, boyfriend break up
Buzz Up Send
Slideshow:Bristol Palin WASILLA, Alaska – Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin, the teenage daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin, have broken off their engagement, he said Wednesday, about 2 1/2 months after the couple had a baby. Johnston, 19, told The Associated Press that he and 18-year-old Bristol Palin mutually decided "a while ago" to end their relationship. He declined to elaborate as he stood outside his family's home in Wasilla, about 40 miles north of Anchorage.

He also said some details of the breakup, rumors of which had been swirling on the Internet, were inaccurate.

Leave the poor girl alone.. SHE didn't run for Veep, her mom did.
she doesn't deserve the national pile on and gawker's block that she's getting...

13. Not that I ever heard and it really IS bad form to pile onto politicians children
or celebrity children because of their nutty parents that they didn't get to choose.

23. Apparently it's part of the new, new, NEW progressive values at DU. Didn't you get the memo?
Sniping about 18 year-old single moms because of their parents political career is a progressive value, and we should be so proud of it.

10. Nope, because there wasn't one
According to MSNBC she was offered $300,000 for baby photos, but couldn't cough one up. Sounds pretty suspicious to me.

24. supposedly the 300K was offered by People Magazine... the only
photo they seem to have (that I found - I didn't look too hard, admittedly) is credited as a FOXnews photo. I feel sorry for anyone related to Sarah Palin, myself...

Who knows what's going on with these kids - but it doesn't seem really all that healthy, does it? Ugh.

27. Do you have a link to it?
I couldn't find one. I think the FOX one may have been one of Trig, who is her Mom's son but really hers. Whoops! We've come full circle! :silly:

28. here you go - it was oddly much harder to get to than it was yesterday...
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20259679,00.html

I don't see anything that screams a 300K photo shoot, but maybe I'm missing the right article... I don't know. I still feel sorry for all her kids - even the ones who have made life-changing difficulties for themselves (if, in fact, that's the case).

29. Still perpetrating the hoax
Hmm, little Tripp's (or is it Trig's) face isn't seen - might it look like a DS baby? And where are highlights and feathering in her hairstyle she displayed at the GOP convention? Looks more like the Spring 2008 model.

30. I'm suspicious, too, and I feel really silly about it but I can't help it... : )
There are so few pictures of this little baby... huh. Guess he is thankfully spared having to be a prop...

Were it not for the oddities AND the secrecy AND the weirdness with the mother of this young woman, I wouldn't be so skeptical. But things don't add up and have never added up and I still feel sorry for her kids - misguided as some of them may be.

Actually, I'm not really sure if that's a fair thing to say. One of the most common reasons kids act out and engage in risky behaviour (which depending on their age, can result in pregnancy, among other things) is because they're crying out for what they NEED and aren't getting (time, nurturing, acknowledgment, etc.). I certainly don't know if that's an element in all of this, but it does seem to fit.

I made the mistake of going to Salon.com that had the Bristol interview with Greta Van Something-Or-Other. The poor girl went from looking at her mother like she was some sort of alien bug to what seemed like abject fear - with a little confusion mixed in, maybe. Very awkward and unhappy. Then again, these ideas may be no more than my active imagination...

Oh I have to stop... I actually forgot about this strange, immature woman for a while. I need to go back to that. It's just when kids are involved... I feel too much I guess.

3. I'm trying hard not to be really mean about this...
because it's a crappy situation and people's personal lives.

But it's hard. Really hard.

22. Why the EVER LOVING FUCK would you say something as hateful as that?
What the hell did the babies and the children ever do to you? That's even an ugly ass, Freeperesque, thing to say about SP, nutball though she may be. Whatever possessed you?

19. And a big hug
from John McCain and a huge round of applause from the GOP faithful.

He'll never see another night like that. And that's a good thing.

32. I am so glad for her.
No young woman should be trapped in a marriage to that piece of work. We should leave the poor girl alone now.
