Sarah Palin: Bristol And Levi Are "Working Their Butts Off To Parent"

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin hasn't yet said anything publicly about her 4-day-old grandson, Tripp, but she does want people to know that Tripp's parents - her eldest daughter Bristol and her fiancé Levi Johnston - are hard at work and keeping up with school.

"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 Wednesday. "They are certainly not high school dropouts."

Please respect my family's privacy until such time I find it politically and/or financially beneficial to

drag them back into the spotlight, in Jesus' name Amen.

Boy! That's hard work. A new kid, kid-parents going to school, working. What work? Ya mean the 300 grand for the baby photos. Does anyone out there want to buy photos of my kids? half a mil and they're all yours. This will help defray a small portion of the costs of raising my kids and now paying doctor bills for a body worn out from slavery.

NEWSFLASH: NEWSFLASH; NEWSFLASH;

Christmas will be canceled next year

Sarah Palin Shot Rudolph...

Someone tell Tripp his grandma has ruined his "First Christmas"

[radical1]

What about working their 'butts off" preparing the wedding that was reportedly supposed to take place in December? I "betcha" it would more likely have happened if the failin Palin family had been preparing to move to D.C. Yes, we're all obnoxiousl­y(spelling­?, but don't care when writing about losers) sick of that family and hope they disappear into never never land in Alaska.

And if Grandma Johnston wasn't sitting in jail! Now that would be embarrassing for the wedding party! I mean for crying out loud Johnston must at least be arraigned in time for the wedding, don't you think?

[lvdragonlady]

Let's hope the whole clan disappears from the news this year.

We DO NOT care.

[pupbayer]

Judging by the posts here, obviously a lot DO care. I don't get it but, hey, each to his/her own, I guess.

[Willow207]

Nah, Sarah is going to use the wedding as another means to "cash in" and exploit her family for publicity. Can't you just see the wedding photos now? There is Grandma Johnston holding who? Oh that is Tripp, not Trig---Did she prepare his bottle? What type of formula did she use?

[keepemhonest]

hmmm.... this is something FACTUAL that might put Palin in a pickle: According to the Alaska Gov website: Levi Johnston and ALL who merely APPLY for the apprenticeship program MUST ALREADY POSSES A GED or Diploma ...
http://www.jobs.state.ak.us/apprentice/electrical-brochure.pdf

From the article:
'Levi, also 18, told the AP in October that he had left high school to enroll in an apprenticeship program training him as an electrician.

Gov. Palin told PEOPLE at the time that she hoped Levi would eventually earn a GED, adding, "I respect that Levi is out there working hard."

Question: How did Levi enter the apprenticeship program withOUT a GED? Did granma-Sarah pull strings?

[Willow207]

You haven't heard? Sarah Palin makes up her own rules, and doesn't think the rules of others applies to her or her family.

[deosil]

Palin´s son dropped out of high school, her daughter dropped out of high school, her son in LAW (SOMEDAY, i GUESS???) DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL...W­HAT DOES PALIN mean WHEN SHE SAYS THEY are not drop OUTS?????????????? Why doesn´t ANYONE EVER call her on the shear stupidity of her statements. WHEN SHE CALLED THE NEWSPAPERS and MAGAZINES, did anybody say, BUT SARAH they DROPPED OUT.......­.........E­VEN if they someday make it up, they still did what the name suggests, DROP OUT..see Sarah, understand, DROP OUT.......­.....

[coco51]

Sarah is as Sarah does...she is in love with herself and so what she says is true in her world. Alaskans are like Americans who voted for George Bush (TWICE), bamboozled by stupidity. Alaskans do however get paid monthly or is it yearly for their error, with a few bucks...ni­ce exchange in this economy; oh yeah, their federal tax input is nada...eve­n nicer exchange.

[keepemhonest]

BTW: Not only IS Levi Johnston a high school drop out - by his OWN WORDS -- Sarah Palin took ALL of her kids out of school for MONTHS so she could USE them as props during the campaign.

It is OBVIOUS that Sarah Palin does NOT care about education.

[hortonhearsawho2]

She does not care about what she does not have...

[devild1nosaur]

or care about her children, either. It's all about Sarah, and Sarah getting more fame and power.... she is beneath contempt.

[keepemhonest]

October 2008 - Levi Johston, while standing in his driveway, TOLD the AP that he quit school to get a job on the North Slope .... That makes him a high school DROP OUT... Even if he gets a GED - he is STILL A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT.

Sarah Palin lies so much I doubt she knows the difference between FACT OR FICTION .... She is a loser-chick.

[ThankGodforAtheists]

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was in a thread that mattered.

[daedelus]

Stifling any and all attempts by Palin to spin her disfunction as Senatorial or, god forbid, presidential, certainly matters to me, and it should to you.

[naschkatze]

Hmm. . . ordinarily I would agree with you, but you can't forget that to too many people Sarah Palin is a viable candidate. You can't expose her enough.

[hortonhearsawho2]

turns out you don't matter...a­dios comatose..

[batmanindy]

If anyone wants a good laugh (or to throw up) go to www.teamsarah.org. The posters there are cetifiably insnae and in love with everything sarah plain.

As for this episode in the Wasilla Hillbillies, here we have a mother of a daughter with priviledge and power not parenting and having a teenage daughter birth a child out of wedlock. Her oldest son had drug problems and issues with the law and is rumored to have not graduated high school and now the child/mother is out of school. Why, many kids go to school pregnant and again after birth. Why can't this kid do that and finish her schooling? Lastly, mommy-in-law is a drug dealer.

Honest to God, you can't make this stuff up. This is a dysfunctional mess. The only thing that could make this story more riviting would be if sarah was nominated for VPOTUS ... oh wait, that actually happened too!

This is like watching a train wreck, you just can't turn your head away from it.

[hortonhearsawho2]

Throw up is the only option...

I clicked on the Teachsarah link, it is gone.

Say silvercreeklady - have any comments about this?

[BabsfromKansas]

Geez,,,is she STILL on this thread?

[MNmommy]

Heh, I noticed her post below and couldn't resist.

I know, I'm naughty.

[Perseus]

Why is everything Palin says charged with low-brow hyperbole? Oh. She's stupid. Forgot.

[TiredOfLiars]

Not sure about Levi, but Bristol never had a b u t t to begin with; just like her mother.

[indy girl]

Well, she had a big enough one and b00bs to match at the republican convention.

[inluvwkeitholbermann]

that was from bre.ast-fe­eding her first son trig......

[gatorgil]

The baby sleeps 18 hours a day and Levi is working(?) somewhere. What is so hard about caring for a 2-week old infant?? I feel bad for the kid when its 10!
