Palin Daughter Pops

Posted on December 30, 2008

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."

The phrase is used in everyday speech across this country… if you’ve never heard it, you could be a hermit. Also, this is not a birth announcement, it’s news. Relevant facts, such as the arrest, ARE part of the news story.

You are all worried about the headline title - what about a kid getting pregnant? She’s getting her GED and he’s an apprentice electrician - can you say “Roseanne and Dan Connor”??

Really? You guys are this upset about a story on the “extra TV” website? This isn’t really a bastion of fine journalism here, folks. Might as well complain to the National Enquirer about their use of the word “fart”.

If a ReBorglican gets knocked-up, you don’t hear much from them

If a Democrat or “Liberal” gets knocked-up, then the RePugs whine and moan about family values and Jesus. amazing full of sh*t country we live in.

WOW what a role model for your teens! Get pregnant out of wedlock. I’m so proud!!

One would think you could have done a LOT better with your headline. You have NO reason to be proud of it.

Your headline is offensive. All life is sacred- what is this world coming to???

While I did not support Governor Palin, I find your headline demeaning and disrespectful. It wasn’t a ‘dem’ headline, but it was indeed a ‘jerk’ headline.

- Glenna

I find the title of this article disrespectful and crude.

Guess you’d rather make fun of someone rather than be a professional. Didn’t vote for Palin but I’m not amused with your headline.

They named him Tripp ‘cause Mommy tripped and fell on her boyfriend and got pregnant. What a proud family. GED Mommy and apprentice Daddy. So MUCH to look forward to. Abstinence rings for everyone!

How about, “knock-up teen gives birth in a private matter.”

- Seth Delano

If this had been a Kennedy baby, would you have said “she pops?” How crude!!!
Also, I don’t think it was necessary to add the report of Sherry Johnston’s arrest. Poor taste to tack it on to a birth announcement.
