Palin Daughter Pops

1230palin.jpg

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is officially a grandmother. Her daughter Bristol, 18 (pictured with baby brother Trig) and former high school hockey player Levi Johnston, also 18, welcomed son Tripp on Saturday.

Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston was born at 5:30 AM, weighing 7 lb., 7 oz. "We think it's wonderful," Colleen Jones, Bristol's great-aunt told People magazine. "The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited."

Levi's mother, Sherry Johnston, was recently arrested on multiple felony counts of involving the drug Oxycontin. Bristol is currently living in Wasilla, and working on her GED. Levi is now an apprentice electrician.

Yesterday, a spokesperson for Governor Palin said, "This office will not be issuing any statements on [Bristol's baby]. We're here to talk about state government and that matter falls outside of that."

Ryan, you beat me to it. Looks like this family likes 5 letter names that start with T. Todd, Trig, Tripp…and the list could go on!

People can say what they want about the headline but it did what it was designed to do. You clicked the link -probably from Google News- to check out the article. That makes it a good headline.

The fact that some people bothered to comment on the forum makes it a great headline.

Sure some of you say you’ll never return to the site but chances are you aren’t part of their regular audience.

Your bitching makes you a net gain.

Also, if you actually harbor any kind of long term resentment against a trash celeb news site, you should re-evaluate your priorities in life.

“Pops” is offensive? Nowhere near offensive as the actual campaign that her mother ran a few months ago. Find something real to be offended by and get a life.

There is nothing wrong with a GED. Most kids that graduate from high school today can’t pass the test. Children that are home schooled need to pass it to get a State high school diploma. It is for children (and adults) who could not make it through traditional high school. If gives them another opportunity. You need one to get 99 percent of jobs. You can enter college with one. Non-traditional students can use it to continue past their mistakes and/or hardships. So don’t put down the GED. My child is on course to graduate from college (with honors) after receiving a GED 1 year post dropping out of high school. I didnt’ throw her away because she couldn’t make it the traditional way. It’s not what kind of high school diploma you get; but what you do with it afterwards.

Yes rude headline, and I don’t see why they always have to mention that Levis mom was arrested on drug charges, what does that have to do with this event?

One thing remains true, she is the hottest grandma I have seen!

What ever happened to the candidates kids being off limits? Real mature of you to describe a teenager having a baby that way. Class less all the way.

The headline is disrespectful.
That should have been enough to cause editors to pull revise it.
Your process isn’t working correctly

headline shows what type of class the MEDIA has, why not talk about all these kids that the famous have with partners they are not married to, such as Tom Brady, Jaime Lynn, and all other nuckleheads that seem to want to open up franchises…but do not want to settle down…leave ur seed in your package…if you can feed them..don’t breed them..

Was that a journalist or the mail boy that wrote the headline for this article. I don’t think you would have used the word Pops if it was Obama’s daughter. You Libs are crude.

“Pops”

What a lovely and respectful way to describe the birth.

The headline should read “Sarah Palin’s daughter hangs around and got knocked-up by known drug dealers” lol~ …and Sue Hucstep, please don’t compare that family to the Kennedys!

Ok, I have to admit the headline is really in poor taste…but I find it rather interesting the baby’s grandmother was arrested (although inappropriate for this article). This looks good for Palin in 2010 - lol! I can just hear it now “my daughter’s boyfriend’s mother does not have anything to do with my candidacy for president…I’m sure all soccer mom’s will agree with me.”

Her mother ran for Vice presdient of the US and shes getting a GED because she had a baby at 18, her baby daddy is an aprentice and her mother-in-law just got arrested on multiple felony charges… do you really think that the title of the birth announcement can be crude???? come one now, lets be serious!!

News or not the headline is moronic. Seeing how many people do not see that as offensive just shows how poorly our countries values have fallen.

This article is on the Google News page, otherwise most wouldn’t have seen it. Aside from the remarkably stupid headline, the arrogant, self righteous comments are even worse.

Since the byline of this disgusting article is - “Posted by ExtraTV Staff on December 30, 2008 6:22 AM” and no one will ever take responsibility for writing it, I think that “ExtraTV Staff” is trying to make a ‘Liberal’ statement of some kind, but can’t quite get it done.

“ExtraTV Staff” is disgusting and I refuse to visit the website again!!

Have a nice day ..

Pipp, Gipp, Snipp, Chip, Blip, Tipp, Dipp, Kipp………

give it a rest, all critize this family but no one talks smack about the Spears kid whom left her show to POP one. At least this girls has her baby’s father.
That’s the problem with the Hollywood elite, all the women have baggage.

You guys are sick, offensive and crude. Third paragraph was totally unnecessary because it has nothing to do with the birth of Tripp.
