Bristol Palin Graduates High School

People:

Looking like a lot of her classmates -- giddy and irreverent, wearing a silly necklace of Blow-Pop lollipops strung together with curly gift ribbon -- Bristol Palin stepped toward the stage in Wasilla Sports Complex Thursday night to receive her high school diploma, more a worried mom than a jubilant teen.

"Where's my baby?" Bristol mouthed, searching the two front rows where her family sat until she finally spotted son Tripp near the backstage door, where Bristol's Aunt Heather was feeding the infant a bottle. With a wave to the little one she alternately calls "Handsome" and "My Guy," Bristol crossed the stage -- and crossed "graduate high school" off her to-do list.

Who cares? Are we going to publish an article about the other single moms out there that are graduating as well? I would love to know how she had the time to complete her High School Diploma? Aren't there attendance requirements?

[FairCitizen]

Still want to know how she got past the attendance thingy? Did Sarah Palin or the handlers pay for this one? I guess in 2010 or 2011 it will be announced that she had her degree? Yabethca - got to make it all look good for the lair Sarah right.

My daughter is in the 11th and I will announced in about 5 months she had walked across stages. I sit on the board and I can do it..... Forget about the learning part - we just need to say it to make our neighbors think my daughter worked her butt off and she not even thinking about babies..... See it works!!!! Lair Palin - Bristol is still in the 11th grade - mom is not smart enough to tutor and we never heard a word about those children being tutored. Please wake up and stop believing everything - remember the bridge to no where!

Any word from Ann Coulter? I believe that she stated in her book that unwed mothers are a drag on society.

Bristol, congrats. Now leave home and get away from your controlling mother. Marry Levi if you want to.

[SharpDressedMan]

Ann Coulter went farther than that. She said Bristol should give up her baby for adoption because she isn't married. I would like to know Sarah Palin's honest reaction when she first heard that.

[BusGreg]

Honest reaction? I don't think she knows the meaning of the first word.

[Chaimirija]

Cruel

[sheaintsayin]

"..she hopes to go to an area college for a two-year business degree and then a job, possibly in real estate." Like Presiedent Obama suggests, "Find someone to be successful for..."

I am glad that Bristol did graduate. But I think people could probably come up with a better quote than "where's my baby?" for a teen abstinence advocate.

[SammyD]

Congratulations. With 50% of children dropping out of high school in U.S. urban areas, America can always use more students who push past challenges. Do good things with your life.

[americanwoman1]

Good for you Bristol, I wish you well.

As for the rest of you GET A LIFE!

If you are not a fan of her mothers ( as I am not) post your thoughts some other place.

This is just a story about a kid graduating high school, leave it at that. We as a country have many problems to solve, dont waste your time or energy of irrelevant matters!

[JKPHILLY]

Are you sending out congratulations to all single mothers out there? Not just those that are the daughter of a Governor? I am certain that you are not seeking out the poor urban blighted in the same way!

[mamala4]

Whoppee!!!!

[mjeffn]

Congratulations Bristol. Now, can somebody please ask...WHY IS THIS NEWS?

[Jean55]

This is news because the corrupt MSM kept telling us the girl was a drop-out and a burden on society.

[sunnybunny]

Apparently they are wrong about that right?She actually is graduating pretty much on time. I think she should be given credit for that.

[SharpDressedMan]

Bristol was a dropout then a dropin. According to LNCB, she is considered as a dropout because she took 5 years to complete a 4 year high school curriculum. She is also a pitiful example to teenagers. No one believes her message on abstinence.

[Chaimirija]

Corrupt? ARE YOU KIDDING? If she were black and poor, you hypocrites would be all over her...Jesus must be proud of you ALL

[sunnybunny]

It's not politics, it belongs in a different category that is for sure

[SharpDressedMan]

She is following her mother's footsteps. Finishing a 4 year program in 5.

[Jean55]

Well is she follows in her Mother's footsteps than there is 10 - 15 million dollar book deal waiting.

[SharpDressedMan]

The payment in the book deal hasn't been disclosed and Bristol hasn't achieved the same level of fame and notoriety as her mother.

Republicans and the GOP doesn't want her. The rest of the country rejected her by a clear margin in last year's election. Sarah Palin's ratings are sinking and will sink lower. If that's an indication of slumped book sales then Murdoch will lose money.

[kittyarmy]

Woohoo! So did a million other kids.

[whohortonehears2]

drop out, to drop in, how wasilla is that..

[Mr-Mikey]

I'm glad she graduated, it is a great feeling to walk across that stage.

Congratulations on your... uh.. achievement. (I'm trying to be nice here.. Really I am)

It'll help open doors in the future so you can take care of your child.

Bristol says, "Where is my baby?......I mean....Where is my little mistake.....I mean....Where is that blessing from God....oh H*ll....Where is my d*mn baby?"

[ladylove114]

Had she had an abortion she would not have been asking that question. Maybe that would have been better somehow?
