Bristol Palin in happier times
“But I made up my mind, I’m keeping my baby, oh I’m gonna keep my baby, mmm..” – Madonna
The current crisis in the Palin family sounds like a Lifetime movie to me. It could be titled Palin-Wronged. Sort of like ‘palindrome’. Get it? It works because mother Sarah just had a child back in April, and now daughter Bristol, 17, is due later this year. They are mirror images. Both hid their respective pregnancies for months, too. Still, I feel bad for young Bristol. Having a liberal-sounding name doesn’t help either. Her parents have let her down and put her in the spotlight. For one, Sarah Palin led by poor example. Bristol can’t help if her father has a glasses fetish. Bristol can’t help it if her mother spends too much time celebrating her governorship with her father and has a child at age 44 and leaves the door open for nasty rumors. Bristol can’t help it that Meghan McCain is plotting to steal the limelight. The media sure isn’t helping. Case in point: a NY Daily News report that Bristol’s pregnancy was no secret back home in Alaska:
He’s a superhunky bad-boy ice hockey player from cold country; she’s a chestnut-haired beauty and popular high school senior.
Soon the all-American teen twosome will make GOP vice presidential pick and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a grandma at age 44, just in time for Christmas.
Doe-eyed Bristol Palin, 17, and ruggedly handsome Levi Johnston, 18, have been dating for about a year, locals in their hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, told the Daily News.
And the pregnancy? An open secret in the close-knit town of 9,780.
Bristol Palin, now a senior, was frequently seen cheering her young beau from the stands. He graduated high school in June.
A closeup shot shows the handsome teen with a light dusting of whiskers on his chin – his dark brown hair curly and wet.
Sarah Palin admitted Monday her “beautiful daughter” Bristol was five months pregnant and would marry Levi. The baby is due in late December.
“He was a good kid to be around, with lots of friends. He was well-liked.”
Bristol’s pregnancy was no secret in the town that lies wedged between two mountain ranges.
The mother of one of Levi’s friends, who asked not to be named, told The News that locals knew about Bristol’s pregnancy for weeks.
Besides his hard play on the ice, Levi Johnston was also a bit of hell-raiser off it – another reason Bristol may have been smitten.
State troopers popped Johnston last year for snagging some King salmon out of season in Moose Lake, records from Alaska wildlife enforcement show. He had to pay $370 bail.
I love the language of this article. Basically, doe-eyed, chestnut-haired beauty hooks up with ruggedly handsome, bad-boy high school senior. And, “A closeup shot shows the handsome teen with a light dusting of whiskers on his chin – his dark brown hair curly and wet.” That’s way too much information, but I can visualize why Bristol was so attracted to this fellow.
King salmon definitely isn’t the only thing Mr. Johnston snagged out of season.
Just see what the Bristol Palin pictures have to say:

No pregnancies, 2007. Those other rumors can't be true.
Dear Facebook groups,
Be kind to Bristol. I don’t want to see any more cruel group names like:
- Bristol Palin: MILF
- Bristol Palin: I would, oh wait…
- I’d bang Bristol Palin in a heartbeat!
Good souls have created these instead:
- God Bless Bristol Palin!
- Leave Bristol Palin alone!
- We Support You Bristol Palin!
But the most humorous goes to:
- Sarah Palin’s Daughter is Just Fat
Oh, Alaska.
I found this song from 1961 with Bristol’s name in it:
