Palin: My Future Son-In-Law's No Dropout

New parents 'working their butts off' to finish school, new grandma tells media

Share

(Newser) – Sarah Palin is blasting media reports that her daughter and future son-in-law are high school dropouts, reports the Anchorage Daily News. The Alaska governor told several news outlets that eldest daughter Bristol, who just gave birth to Palin's first grandchild, starts her last semester in high school next week, and that proud poppa Levi Johnston, who left school to work as an apprentice electrician, is working to finish his degree online.

"You need to know that both Levi and Bristol are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time," Palin told People in a phone message. "They are certainly not high school dropouts."

You mean real truth speakers like Ashley Todd? You mean truth, like claiming to be "regular" Americans and spend $90,000 on hair and makeup in 3 months? Let's not talk about wardrobe. You mean standing for family values like teenage pregnancy? I HOPE she is the 2012 candidate. Let's see her get past primary debates first. She's got plenty of time to hone her policy positions. The culture war will be very different as newer voters' intolerance for FRINGE issues increases. Where's the next Terry Shaivo going to come from? Let's make sure we draft some laws that makes English the OFFICIAL language of the USA; that was well worth paying congress. CONESRVATIVES, I mean REAL conservatives, you would be better served listening to Kathleen Parker or Peggy Noonan when they call for self examination. Unfortunately, anyone not in lock step with the party line is a traitor or a commie --one of the true signs of freedom of speech. It amazes me how many can't see how religion and the Conservative movement have become alike: you can't question anything about religion or the GOP talking points without your faith being questioned or being considered a dissenter. Nice. And why exactly did Levi NEED to leave school to start his apprenticeship? He couldn't start AFTER he got his high school diploma. You think maybe he didn't want the stigma of being an intellectual fancy pants? We know how conservatives hate intellectuals.

Oh, Carona_king (aka, Severely Mentally Challenged, with an I.Q somewhere south of 70), the moronic wonder of the universe... Ever notice, not one person agrees with your point of view / perspective - Not even your own? You are so out of touch with reality, it's beyond comprehension. Again, hypocrite - You never served your country - So STFU with all your idiotic commie slander, as your narsasistic impressions of your self - You, the only true embodyment of a real American, because NOTING could be further from the truth. I'm not a liberal, bozo - I'm a Centralist. And if you could read, process, and comprehend, the vast majority on Newser are people with a balanced perspectives. As far as Palin goes, go ahead, vote for her, I'd expect nothing less from a mindless schmekle, like yourself... It feels d*mn good, our next President Elect, the 44th President of the United Sates of America, is a responsible adult, with intellegent, learned, enlightened individual, a worthy of the Office, AND on top of that, a BLACKMAN!. He has more insight, intellect then you could imagine. Unlike your cowardly, idle, dangerous, 43rd president - GW Bush - who packed his nose with nose candy, a drunk, iresposible, out of control, and absolutely unreliable as a comrad in arms - a solier, durring his sol-called time, serving in the Nation Guard. You want to know why he failed to show... He couldn't face the Flight Surgeon for physicals, because they'd know he wasn't fit to fly. I served, I flew, and he's the last person on Earth I'd want and need to count on as a soldier - placing my life in his hands. If you had served, you'd understand, soldiers count upon one another, because we have. But when we discover one of our own who is a complete and utter screw up, we avoid them like the plague. Do you have any idea how many 'A-Walls' he's racked up...? And if not for his daddy and his position, he would have been court-martialed, stripped of his rank, served time in a real prison, a military prison, doing serious time, and then dishonorably discharged. But why am I telling you all this, you don't know sh*t about serving your country, nor being a solier, nor a TRUE patriot, risking life and limb, watching friends die and losing comrads in arms... Agian, your pin-up girl, Palin - Honestly, she'll be passed up for someone who shows real promise, real leadership qualities and skills (not a leader of a state with an estimated population of less than >700,000 people - that's the size of a city), capabilities, real intellect, political savvy, a grasp of the English language, global politics, geography, etc, etc, etc... She's not even close.... McCain, in hind sight, wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire. You and your party, along with their unflattering extremest views, screwed your selves, playing craps with OUR lives and your RNC nomination's. So you keep fat, dumb and happy, watching FOXNews, listening to Rush OxyContin Limbaugh, and others, you so worship, not understanding,...
