ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose quest for the vice presidency began to go downhill the day she announced the pregnancy, has given birth to a son, a magazine reported Monday.

Bristol Palin, 18, gave birth to Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Sunday, People magazine reported online. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol's grandmother, told the magazine that "the baby is fine and Bristol is doing well."

The governor's office said it would not release information because it considers the baby's birth a private family matter.

7. Tripp, Easton & Mitchell are all hockey terms or hockey equipment companies

Easton and Mitchell are major hockey equipment manufacturers
and Tripp is either a penalty in hockey or the last name of a German hockey player.

29. Guess the little tike should be thankful it wasn't Puck.

Maybe it's Tripp after the goth/punk/bondage/new wave clothier, Tripp NYC.

32. Thank you.

I knew the Easton, but I was wondering about the Mitchell.

8. Well, the child did trip up. I hope she is a good mother to the kid.

I hope her kid is healthy. I hope she gets some privacy, too.

Her mother dragged her into this shit. She didn't ask for it.

I refuse to mock her.

9. Its a private matter for all those gifts they been soliciting too?

Grandpa Puke said his wifes mailroom is loaded with baby gifts.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. 100,000 gifts from adoring fans

According to Australia's Strollerbaby, the offspring of Bristol Palin (pictured) and hockey stud Levi Johnston has already received a number gifts from well-wishers around the world. In fact, Sarah Palin's father, Chuck Heath, says that the presents have literally been piling up.

To the tune of one hundred thousand. You read that right.

17. The Washilla hillbillies still getting free handouts....Don't they

have to pay a tax on the value of these items? If they are sent to a governmental office are they not property of the state? All questions for the IRS I guess.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. They should give it away to the needy and there are many that need it now

Maybe they will do the right thing by making them aware of the world around them

[specimenfred1984]

10. Name suggestions from repuke friends that were almost used...

"Negro"
"Raghead"
"Turrist"

[ananda]

13. LOL.. so if a Palin has twins, they'd be

Trikk and Treett

[Atman]

19. The "Mitchell" part is after Paul, as in the hair styling products.

:hi:

.

[Ichingcarpenter]

21. Mitchell and Easton are both major Hockey manufacturing Corporations

I named my friend Wilson when I was on an island.

[davidpdx]

20. Damn I was pulling for "Meth"

It would have helped him fit in the family business.

[dflprincess]

22. Trig & Tripp

"Irish twins" perhaps?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

27. You beat me to it

The term “Irish twins” is used to describe two children born to the same mother within 12 months of each other or born in the same calendar year.

[liberal N proud]

23. These people will never fade back to obscurity

The GOP and the media will not let them. They are going to force this group of hicks from the tundra down our throats

[Naturyl]

24. Can these people just evaporate?

Whatever happened to spontaneous human combustion when you need it?

[trueblue2007]

25. What a STUPID....RETARDED name. I can't believe it.

[oldnslo]

26. Shoulda named him "Guilt" or "Power" Tripp.

The kid will be Bristol's guilt tripp and grandma's power tripp. Dumshits.

[drumtrip]

28. Who Cares!

Palin is already a moron, her daughter no matter what her choice, shouldn't be dragged in to this, let her alone.

[emilyg]

30. Yes.

I wish the mother and new baby well.

[drumtrip]

31. thank-you

I want to fight many causes, but personal family life is not one of them :)

Maybe one of Bristol's grandchildren will bear all three names.

[bertman]
