Is this Rove's revenge for the slighting of his boy, Romney?
-
I didn't know anything about this so I just started to look just now. This is the first thing I found on youtube. From the articles this guy notes, this was all issue before her pick by McCain as VP. Interesting, the daughter does look like the pregnant one.

A lady and I were just talking at the gym about how glad we are none of our close relatives are in politics. She doesn't want America to know she was arrested at a concert for passing a lit joint to a cop and also that she was a playboy bunny.

she doesn't want people to know she was a playboy bunny but she was in playboy :-\ Nobody would care about the joint thing. I think she's safe :D

She wasn't in the mag...she had worked at some playboy club years ago!

I'm not getting it, is this a church thing?
-

No, it sounds more like a Christian coalition attempt to equate passing off someone else's kid as your own with being a cocktail waitress.
-

I'd say that's probably accurate!

Ashamed to have people discover she once worked as a cocktail waitress at least 20 yrs ago? ::) ::)
-

well it's not anything she should be ashamed of. We all got dirt and this is minor. If they can't support her for who she is now and look past stuff they would consider mistakes, they're not very christian.

Nah...the point is mainly just what Hugo said...that we all have what some people would consider "dirt."

No...I didn't infer from her that she was ashamed to have people know she had been a cocktail waitress. I think it was that she felt some people would judge her for smoking weed and also working for (indirectly) what they may consider a to be pornographer. But some people would see that as "dirt" and some would not.

I agree :)

WOuldn't have suspected you to be a relativist...

Being a cocktail waitress is not the same as trying to deceive the public.
I'm not saying that she has, but that's what this thread is about.

I thought your point was around reaching into the dirt of personal lives for politics. In that regard your point is taken and is valid to the thread. Unless I read that wrong.

Yes that was my point. I asked calmus if he wanted me to delete but he said he didn't mind

I will say, same as the "whitey" tape and all the other nonsense, if this is not true, it is highly uncool to be all slandering someone's family, especially kids.
That said, I read up on it today and it seems fishy to me. We will see.

Please don't knock revered Republican traditions. Thanks in advance.

I'm in total agreement.
I think she should just deny it. Odd she hasn't addressed it yet.
-
Odd she hasn't addressed it yet.
Doubt the question's been put to her yet. it's a pretty surreal thing to suggest.
-
If this is true, there's nothing here I would personally hold against them. However this could be an issue for the christians who support her.
"Palin's daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono."
Bristol looks more pregnant in the first picture than Sarah looks at what would be 6 months in the next picture:
-
She could be pregnant under that getup; and she could just have a chunky kid.
Only thing is I saw some other pic of Sarah pregnant and she looked like a fat preggo... but some women are skinny, beautiful preggos... but you'd think that in your 40s you'd look more beat up.
-

Well I would due to her preaching all how she made the decision to have a downs baby, acting all sanctimonious
Also, as a mother it is not something I condone. My stepdaughter is about that age, and is she turned up pregnant I would support her to the ends of the earth BUT expect her to take large responsibility and be a loving mother. Not a good lesson to teach a daughter, "dump the baby and lie dear."
In 2008, the only reason to do that is to protect your own rep, no one burns Scarlett letters on unwed moms foreheads anymore in the "land of the free". If this is true, she it to save face. If not true, cruel for the teenager.

there is also the reports that Bristol was absent from school 4 to 5 months during the period which would be the later months of the pregnacy.

I don't think this is anything to hold against them. who cares. The question is will the "moral majority" clowns care. they probably would if she were a liberal VP pick.
-

points taken. for me personally, it's not something that would freak me out, but I understand your points.

This kind of speculation is both sad and unfortunate in many ways.
It's an entire can of worms I'd rather not see opened up for the sake of Bristol,
...however, at the same time, it speaks to the integrity of someone aspiring to be the VP of the United States.
I hope it's not the case, ...but either way, we'll see a 16 yr old CHILD painfully thrust into a spotlight not of her own making. :'(

also a good point.
-
I doubt it's going to be a big deal. It's just some people fucking around on the internet.
-
Unless Rove is behind it. Smacks of him.
-
It's their family's business - this has to be the most horrible day ever for that poor girl. Seriously - this would be with her forever, if true.
It's not uncommon for grandparents to take credit for things like this. Would it have short-circuited her VP chance with right-wing repubs to have a 15-year old pregnant? You bet it would have. She did the right thing taking the blame. I seriously admire her for it.
HOWEVER -
She was selfish to accept VP nod. Knowing it would come out - and only a fool would believe the lie would stand up to the media - she put her kid in this tough spot. She could have declined mccain on personal matters, and left it at that. Good life as a Alaskan VP, everyone loves her, job security forever, etc.
instead, she let ambition get in the way of doing the right thing.
-

It appears to have started before so I doubt Rove is that much of a visionary.
-
I read the National Enquirer is picking it up. Now that the righties have faith in that rag... lol..
-

Even if not true, it will stick forever, which is way worse. If it is true, well then hey she did it. If it's not true, having that cloud over you forever is not cool at all :-\

I think saying that the rumor is going to scar her for life might be a little much. If that's the case tabloids should be illegal. On the level it is now, it's internet gossip and tabloid material. It's not like they're saying the father is her father or something. It's bad but not scarred for life bad lol.

Hmm, see I think it will have an effect. Look at the Obama Muslim thing, ppl still believe that.
She a teen, when she goes to school people will be whispering, press is there asking her schoolmates about it. Being a teen and some ppl thinking you had a baby and lied is not cool. Years later people still saying it. And well not PC to say, but a down syndrome baby would make it more teasable for teens.

I doubt there's going to be a lot of teasing, I'm quite sure as a popular gov's daughter, she has plenty of advocates. With the number of teens who get pregnant, I doubt this is really a scarred for life thing. Maybe I'm wrong and If I am, I'm sorry. I think she'll get past this fine, especially if she's being raised good and there is no indications otherwise. But I hope this doesn't destroy her life, that would be bad.

Oh, I don't think it will come near to destroying her - but ppl will whisper which just isn't cool, especially at that age.

I agree, it's not cool...
I'm posting a question on this because this whole aspect of what's being questioned here is well, questionable. Not the fault of Calmus, this is more my doing here than anything.
