Bristol Palin: I'll "Probably" Run for Office One Day
NEW YORK (CBS) Bristol Palin has plans to follow in her mother's political footsteps.

The daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says she would "probably" run for office one day, "but that would be further down the road."

"If I saw something that needed to be changed, then I would step up to the plate and do something about it," she told E! News' Guiliana Rancic in an interview airing Thursday night.

1. Not to sound "elitist," but did she even graduate from high school?
:shrug:

7. Christine O'Donnell runs for office and thinks she is qualified so why not this dingbat
of course no one would elect her.

9. Not elitist at all
I've always bristled at those who wish their president to be someone "just like me" or someone "they could have a beer with." No. I want my president to be a freakin nerd, the "smartest mother fucker" (as Chris Rock so eloquently put it) in the room. Someone who doesn't have to consult wikipedia to find basic information on any topic.

In any case, I'm not too worried. I think the chances of any Palin getting elected to national office are about as forseeable as Lady Gaga becoming the next pope.

15. Actually, she did in fact graduate from high school...
in 2009 at the tender age of 19.
I was wondering about that myself, but, yes, she "earned" her degree.
Apparently.

5. so that is why the "memoir"?
sadly, she isn't, and probably won't be, the most ignorant, self-absorbed, clueless twit to ever run for office.

13. Then, in proper Palin tradition, will run from office halfway through her term.
A Palin never doesn't quit.

14. let's see if she can pass Poli-Sci in fewer than 4 colleges.
Edited on Tue Feb-08-11 06:15 PM by piratefish08
that would make her at least as qualified as her asshat of a mother.

19. Bristol, you do realize that you can't have a co-candidate standing next to you doing all the work.
Right?

20. The only way she's running for office...
is if she works at one and desperately needs to use the bathroom.

26. If she wants to be successful, she shouldn't follow in Mommy's footsteps.
She should try to get a real education, maybe A Masters in Public Administration, maybe some community service work. She needs to understand the value of volunteering versus grifting.

much like George Jr likely fucked poor Jeb on it.

30. If she gets an education she may do very well. And her politics could change
as she gets older.
