Palin outrage boils over, spawns firedavidletterman.com

Kim LaCapria — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:28:59 +0000

A rally is planned outside the Ed Sullivan theater in Manhattan on Tuesday following calls by Sarah Palin supporters to “fire David Letterman.”

Letterman drew a considerable amount of outrage after a controversial crack at Yankee Stadium that Bristol Palin was “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez- during the seventh inning. He further got right-wing panties in a knot by likening Palin’s look to that of a “slutty flight attendant” during one of his “Top Ten” segments last week.

The movement even begat a website, Fire David Letterman, and a mission statement:

Our Mission Statement: David Letterman Must Held Be Accountable For His Disgraceful Statements

In addition to shameless abuse of the Caps Lock key, the site also frustratingly, deliberately misconstrues Letterman’s joke to be about Willow, not Bristol Palin. That simple misdirection plants the joke firmly in the “inappropriate comments about the underage” category (Willow Palin is 14), likely to sway advertiser opinions on the matter.

While it is unlikely such a cultural icon will be unseated so easily, the movement has drawn some high-profile supporters. Palin superfan John Ziegler has predictably joined the fray, and New York State Minority Leader Brian Kolb is also calling for Letterman’s firing.

Bristol Palin: abstinence not realistic

Duncan Riley — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:51:03 +0000

Bristol Palin, daughter of failed GOP VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, for a time America’s most famous pregnant teen has given an interview about her pregnancy and life in the spotlight.

The interview aired Monday on Fox News Channel’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” and dare I say it, Bristol Palin actually comes across as more reasonable than her mother.

The best line from the interview was Bristol saying that the abstinence preached by her mother was “not realistic” because teen sex is “more and more accepted.”

On rumors that Sarah Palin forced her to have her baby, she also took full responsibility: “It doesn’t matter what my mom’s views are on it. It was my decision, and I wish people would realize that, too.”

While we doubt Bristol is about to become a spokesperson against the abstinence movement any time soon (the full quote “Everyone should be abstinent, but it’s just not realistic at all”) it’s refreshing to see that even in such a conservative household that Bristol can see reality, and not just Russia from her back window.

Here’s the Bristol Palin Fox News interview:

Bristol Palin Birth: Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston

Duncan Riley — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:11:35 +0000

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor and failed GOP VP Candidate has given birth.

Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston was born on Sunday, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces (3.3kg).

Relative Colleen Jones told People Magazine that the baby is fine and Bristol is “doing well.”

Bristol Palin was, at least for a short time America’s most famous pregnant teen, after her mother was forced to disclose the pregnany after accepting the Republican Vice Presidential slot. Her relationship with the child’s father, and their family has continued to remain gossip fodder, particularly after the child’s grandmother was arrested on drugs charges.

Oxycontin named as new drug of choice in Wasilla Alaska

Duncan Riley — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 22:49:15 +0000

The mystery drug behind the arrest of Sherry Johnston, the mother-in-law to be of Alaska’s favorite pregnant teen Bristol Palin has been named, and it’s not Meth, the drug Wasilla is usually famous for.

No, this time round it’s Oxycontin.

Oxycontin is an opioid analgesic medication similar to Codeine that is used for pain relief in severe cases and for cancer patients. The drug is taken in tablet form legally (it’s available by prescription) or snorted, crushed or injected by addicts. It’s considered highly addictive and has strict controls over its distribution in many countries.

Pain killer abuse isn’t new, although experts say that Oxycontin is fast becoming the drug of choice among pain killer addicts, and it’s apparently popular with teens as well.

It’s not clear from reports whether Sherry Johnston was manufacturing the drug, just doctor shopping prescriptions and selling them on to addicts…or simply popping them all herself, but on a bright note, at least it wasn’t meth.

Bristol Palin’s Mother-in-Law To Be Arrested on Drugs Charges

Duncan Riley — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:20:35 +0000

Sherry Johnston, the mother-in-law to be of Alaska’s favorite pregnant teen Bristol Palin has been arrested on drugs charges.

Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska Governor and failed Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Parah came to prominence during the 2008 Election after it was disclosed that she was pregnant by her then boyfriend, now fiancee Levi Johnston. Bristol was (and to some extent still is) the center of unconfirmed allegations that she had already had a child, and that Sarah Palin had pretended the child was hers.

Sherry Johnston was arrested after officers served a search warrant on a Wasilla home, and is charged with six felony drug counts. Authorities have not disclosed the drug involved in the charges.

Sherry Johnston was released from jail on $5,000 bail.
