For sheer entertainment value, I say go for it, kid.

Well, FTFA, there's no visitation order in place, and from what he says the family isn't giving him much contact with the kid, so if that's the case this is precisely what he should be doing.

Levi and the little woman are the same age and should have the same level of maturity. Can't she understand that he simply wants to take along Tripp off a short peer?

Seriously.

Of course, the judge is probably a Palin Pick, so he's got about a snowball's chance in hell of getting out of there unscathed.

He won't even make it to court. His mysterious and fatal snowmobiling accident will take care of that.

You know, this is slowly refuting almost every talking point that conservatives have about the family and family planning.

First it was the fact that despite Sarah Palin's promotion of abstinence only education and bringing Bristol conservative Christian faith, she ended up getting pregnant.

Now, despite the fact that one of the big arguments against gay marriage that the Republican Right promotes is that "every child should have a mother and a father" the Palins aren't allowing Johnston much contact with the kid.

This is ridiculous. Don't they see the massive irony involved in what they're doing?

He really should get a formal agreement in place as quickly as possible. If he is smart he'll figure out how to do that without going to court, which means he is going to court.

SphericalTime: Don't they see the massive irony involved in what they're doing?

That's what really makes this so tragic. They don't even see their own hypocrisy. In their twisted mind, all this is for the sake of the children and is what is best for family values and America as a whole.

/won't someone please think of the children.
//and America too!

SphericalTime: This is ridiculous. Don't they see the massive irony involved in what they're doing?

The Republicans are rationalizing greed and unrestrained self-interest. I don't think there is much room for consistency in their world view.

Strangely enough, a platform of unmitigated greed gets votes.

God, I feel bad for these kids. Seriously, did she NOT think about how her decision to thrust her family into the spotlight would effect them????

Bible Spice does not seem like the kind of person that would put other people's interests before her own.

I was convinced the whole reason he got that oil job on the North Slope despite being totally unqualified was so he could have a "terrible accident" and Sarah could hold a press conference.

"My Grandson will never know his father, but we'll always keep the bucket his remains were brought back in as a memento, you betcha"

I'd LOL harder if it weren't so damned plausible.

For an "America" that doesn't include anyone they disagree with.

what_now: God, I feel bad for these kids. Seriously, did she NOT think about how her decision to thrust her family into the spotlight would effect them????

No. She thought it was God's will. That was all she needed to know and so she ran with it. After all, God was going to make everything work out perfectly.

/That's not a dig at Christians as a whole, that's a dig at the unrealistic expectations that Sarah Palin bases on her prosperity gospel-like faith.

Heh. I can't let that one go unnoticed. Nicely done.

If there never was a reason to question the political system of this country (and there most certainly was), that changed when Palin was held up as a VP candidate. Only Dan Quayle stands as more of an insult to the American voter than this redneck pandering gold digger.

GurneyHalleck: Only Dan Quayle stands as more of an insult to the American voter than this redneck pandering gold digger.

Oh come on. Quayle wasn't nearly as insulting.

GurneyHalleck: Only Dan Quayle stands as more of an insult to the American voter than this redneck pandering gold digger.

Dan Quayle was an Army Sargent, a lawyer, a congressman and a senator.

Now, I'm not saying you need to be a wise, smart, good or decent person to be any of those things, but his resume is at least better than Palin's.

Neeek: GurneyHalleck: Only Dan Quayle stands as more of an insult to the American voter than this redneck pandering gold digger.

Not even in the same ballpark. Quayle could at least play minor leagues. Palin could only play T-Ball

Who?

This just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to follow along with the flood of media coverage.

No, I'm sure they see it, they just don't care. It's typical Republican politician morals. Do as I say, not as I do.

/approves

Bristol needs a real man, not me! i just want her to sit on my penis

/her mom can join too

Good for you, kid... stick up for your rights.


The fact that you're helping further tarnish the Palin brand is a bonus... a very humorous bonus.

Family values. Character counts. Protecting the unborn.

Please craft these ingredients into a monolithic embarrassment.

Palin had one? Interesting...

It would be awesome if a progressive group like ACLU helps him out.

Tripp out man!

It takes two to tango if you're not going to court, and it doesn't sound like the Palin's are playing ball with him right now.

/MIX MOAR METAPHORS

If they reconcile, I hope they name their third kid Stummbul.

I don't care what anyone says, I would still nail Bristol Palin.

I'm sure she's as dumb as her mother, but she's damn good looking.

Heh. Thrust.

Bristol reminds me of a hot version of my stepsister. Aw, shucks, their whole family is just like mine from Indiana. I'm gonna vote for mom next time around, she's cute and knows my siteation.

I had to. I want to be loved for my ideas, not just for the twins.

Hey, I managed to type that without laughing.

Oh please oh please oh please nominate her in 2012. It's like watching Chaplin, except she isn't acting.

If they would have paid him hush money he would not have ruined the political future of this family.

I am so glad it is going this way.

Who's this "she" you speak of? The one on the VP ticket, or the one with the huge rack? Your use of the word "thrust" threw me off.

The Palins are the gift that keeps on giving! Thanks McCain!

I have no doubt they promised him something to go along with their '08 shenanigans and when they got booted back to Alaska, they renigged on it. Now he's taking them down. Seagal style!
