Top Late-Night Jokes About Bristol Palin

Share

(Newser) – The barbs flying between Sarah Palin and David Letterman over which daughter he’s been making fun of (she says it’s 14-year-old Willow, he says it’s 18-year-old Bristol) moved Daniel Kurtzman, on About.com, to go to the videotape. He found none about Willow and enough about Bristol to make it "perfectly obvious to any rational-minded person” she was the target. Some highlights:

  • “John McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Palin said, ‘We should never have introduced her to John Edwards.’” — Conan O’Brien
  • “Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have broken up. … And apparently it was not that big a surprise. Even the Russians saw it coming.” — David Letterman
  • “Experts say … since Sarah Palin became the vice presidential nominee, there’s been an actual spike in the sales of her style of eyeglasses. Gone way up. Yeah. Yeah, with Palin’s glasses, you’ll be able to see everything, except what the hell your teenage daughter’s up to.” — Conan O’Brien

Probably, there's no good reason to keep attacking a teenagers self esteem just because her mom's excellent joke material. Reply

I have to agree with you. If the daughter made a mistake and I am not saying she did, then it is one made by thousands of young and not so young people every day).

On the one hand I think the children of politicians should be off limits, on the other hand the Republicans trotted her out there as a campaign prop so they deserve a good portion of the blame for this.

As if Bristol's is a unique case of the 750,000 teenage pregnancies per year in the US. Reply

True, Bristol is no different than her mother who eloped and then had a son some 7 1/2 months later. But what IS unique is that her mother trumpets 'abstinence only' programs which have been shown n study after study to be ineffective, and as further proof there is both Sarah and Bristol Palin. Its the raw hypocrisy that feeds the humor.
