Bristol Palin: Just Kidding, My Pregnancy Was Actually Planned

[Contrary1]

So, maybe the Snowbunny will run after all. Just to make it clear, I care not one way or the other if this pregnancy was planned. Cudos to Bristol, if she can raise a couple kids as a single mom. Not that it should be as difficult for her with Sarah's income, and all. I just find it odd that the story seems to have changed.

"This article, Bristol Palin: Just Kidding, My Pregnancy Was Actually Planned, originally appeared on TVGuide.com.

Less than 48 hours after posting a less-than-joyous pregnancy announcement on her personal blog, Bristol Palin is now reversing course and saying that the pregnancy was totally planned.

"So here are the things you should all get straight before you continue to mock me, judge me, and talk about me," Palin wrote on Sunday, in a post titled "My Little Blessing." "None of us are perfect. I made a mistake, but it's not the mistake all these giddy a--holes have loved to assume. This pregnancy was actually planned."

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant's short-lived reality show, Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp, aired on Lifetime in 2012, documenting her life as a single mother raising her son, Tripp..."

1. FFS

I hope this family prepaid for a lifetime of counseling.

[merrily]

3. They'd better switch to believing in reincarnation, too, though.

Only one lifetime of counseling would not be anywhere near enough.

[merrily]

2. Dear God, when will the Palins finally sit down and shut up?

[Marr]

4. They want to be the Kardashians for people who think the Kardashians are too highbrow. /nt

[merrily]

11. LOL!

[calimary]

35. DUzy!!!!

This one wins the thread!

[JHB]

53. When they can no longer sop up gravy for doing otherwise

I'm pretty sure that the first digit of that year will be a "2", but not enough to bet that way.

[PearliePoo2]

5. "Giddy a--holes" huh? You planned a "mistake"...ummm OK.

You have such an classy, endearing way with words. Just like your mamma.
Yup, another Mensa candidate.

[rocktivity]

6. When she says she made a mistake

is she referring to the pregnancy or her publicly describing it as a disappointment? I thought you didn't start having hormonal mood swings until menopause...


rocktivity

[underahedgerow]

8. Pfffft once females reach age 8, our lack of hormonal mood swing days total about 3 days per month..

We're stuck with it, and so are you.

I think Bristol is the exact duplicate of her mom. A lying, thoughtless, conniving little schemer who will stop at nothing for money, riches and any sort of fame and attention.

She's just irrelevant, like her parents and family.. Perfect for a TLC reality show!

[Downwinder]

7. Reality TV means living a soap opera.

[MisterP]

57. like drunkenly attacking your snowmobile-millionaire hosts and getting so drunk the brother

takes his shirt off but nods off in the car before he can get back out, also because he's so drunk?

[Downwinder]

58. Probably suggested by some producer to gain attention.

Think of living One Man's Family in real life.

[hollysmom]

9. so she was not paid as a spokes person against teen pregnancy - Oh, I see

she is no longer a teen -
but seriously, now she claims to have been an employee of Candies foundation - even though they call her a spokesperson.
Bristol if you don't want people picking on you, shut up and go away you steaming pile of hypocrisy and lies

[Arugula Latte]

10. My gawd, they are the rudest and most obnoxious and boorish family in the entire country.

[malaise]

16. +1,000

And there were people who thought her mother could be Vice President of the country

[brush]

31. If McGrumpy had won in '08 she'd still be VP

That is unless McGrumpy died in some kind of "mysterious accident", then we'd be watching Bristol's hormones/urges get the better of her as first daughter.

It would be the greatest show on earth — we'd be making popcorn every fucking day, what with the broken engagements, the crashed parties, Todd's black eyes from fighting, the doubts about President Palin's last "pregnancy" — oh the humanity.

I'm salivating just thinking about it.

Where's that popcorn?

[calimary]

36. bill kristol, for one. Mr. "Weekly (Weakly?) Standard".

Hey! That's a good one. That's how I'm going to start referring to his ridiculous wrong-wing magazine from now on. He was the one who spotted her and brought her to the attention of the mccain campaign. He was SOOOOOO impressed. Wonder if he, too, stood there sneaking sidelong looks at her backside while fiddling with his wedding ring the way mccain did, out in public, onstage in front of the cameras and microphones, immediately after announcing her to the world as his running mate.



bill kristol's taste is straight up his ass. Let's never forget how everything he's said about anything has been WRONG WRONG WRONG. A lot of the smooth-talkin' nice-soundin' promises and assurances about how no-muss/no-fuss/no-hassle/no-cost the Iraq War was going to be came from him, too. Especially since he got more face-time than just about anybody else outside bush/cheney inc.

[malaise]

61. Love it

[MADem]

12. Pants on fire!!!! nt

[Vinca]

13. Oh, boy. Either it's a mistake or it was planned. It can't be both.

Please, please, please tell us Mooseburger is entering the race. LOL.

[Enrique]

14. planned or not, she still isn't married

so enjoy Hell, Bristol.

[Gothmog]

15. Denial and stupidity run deep in that family

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

17. Her 'mistake' was in releasing the truth originally, without waiting for the on-staff PR spin doctor

to massage the message. So now she adds lying to her hypocrisy and ignorance.

[calimary]

37. Yep, the FIRST statement is always the one that's more genuine. The FIRST blurt outta their mouths

is what's generally the truth.

Exactly as it was recently with jeb bush on the Iraq War - his FIRST response was the money one. That he would have done the same thing his brother did. THAT'S the one you could take to the bank. Then he waffled and tap-danced and two-stepped throughout that week, trying to thread the needle so it didn't seems as though he was gonna do that after all (and it's safe to go ahead and vote for him. Just take his word for it!).

Exactly as nikki haley did with her crocodile tears late on that Wednesday night a couple of weeks ago immediately after the massacre. Q: What about taking down that flag, governor? A: Oh well, that's part of our heritage and that's who we are and well we can't do that; it means too much to too many people in this state... And then five days later there she is with her allegedly-changed tune that the flag is indeed gonna come down. Yeah, sure! They're even gonna bring it up in the state legislature. They're gonna talk about it. They're gonna bring it up for discussion. They're gonna... yeah, sure, nikki. I'll believe it when I see it. Your tap-dancing and two-stepping just sounds like another delaying tactic to me.

I've taken some heat and some lovely little insults about that here. And I really don't have time to get into head-to-head arguments with other brothers and sisters here that take up a bunch of increasingly heated and nasty real estate in some thread here.

Well, fine, South Carolina has its own legislative procedures about how things get done. Governor doesn't have the same powers the Alabama governor did - he said the flag comes down and that's exactly what happened, straight away, and he doesn't have to wait for the legislature. Yeah, I get that.

Well, EVEN IF THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, I'm not convinced. nikki-baby could be out there, USING HER LEADERSHIP POSITION to hustle that change along. GET UP THERE IN FRONT OF THOSE CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES and publicly nag the legislature EVERY DAMN DAY. Make an issue of it. Make a stink out of it. Publicly ask why they're not at it TODAY. NOW. THIS MINUTE? Put them on the spot for every hour they're choosing NOT to deal with it or NOT to get to it or NOT to have enough time for it. Procedure SHMOcedure. If you really agree it has to change, and if indeed your state laws and constitution stipulate that the legislature's got this one, and you as governor can't act unilaterally (well, that hasn't stopped our President, thank goodness!), why aren't you using your job title and your state-wide bully pulpit to nag them and shame them and pester them til they get off their asses and actually get something done about it? WHERE ARE YOU, nikki haley? We haven't heard squat from ol' nikki-baby about any of that since last Monday. If she really agrees that the flag should come down, then she should be out there, loudly and repeatedly, pushing them and pressuring them to make this change and take that damn flag down, in front of EVERY camera and EVERY microphone that so frequently likes to pay attention to her because she's glib, easy on the eyes, and she photographs well.

[tanyev]

18. So was the as-yet-unnamed father of the baby aware that this pregnancy was planned?

Doubt it.

[shanti]

38. Dollars to donuts

That the father was her last bf.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Which Part of Abstinence Doesn't She Understand?

Planned or not, she didn't abstain. And, i don't care, but she was the one promoting that.

[pinboy3niner]

20. bs?

[JHB]

54. The part where she was expected to practice what she promoted

[Nay]

59. Exactly! Republicans don't have to do that! nt

[MohRokTah]

21. So she PLANNED an out of wedlock pregnancy?????

The hypocrisy of THAT is worse than had it been UNPLANNED!

[stevenleser]

52. Yes. Full deal: I, national abstinence spokesperson, planned an out of wedlock pregnancy I lamented

at first.

[GOLGO 13]

22. So you planned it? Who's the baby daddy? It's not your ex-fiance is it?

Why hasn't she named who the "proud" daddy is? She does know...right?

[Raine1967]

23. hhmm…. PLANNED PARENTHOOD??

[bullwinkle428]

24. Oh, what bullshit. She was shocked by the shit-ton of pushback she received

for using the phrase "HUGH DISAPPOINTMENT!!1!", and came to the realization that this child will one day learn how to use Google.

[Darb]

25. I kinda feel sorry for her, what say we leave her alone?

She isn't too bright and I think it is like shooting fish in a barrel. It is the fault of the new reality of "social media", mostly, that we have to endure her comments and hypocrisy, but I, for one, am going to let her alone and move on to more important things.

[chloes1]

30. I'd love to leave her alone

however, she needs to help by shutting up and going away. Her version of reality is just bizarre. Have you seen the episode of wife swap with Melissa Rivers and Bristol?? Unreal, just unreal.

[calimary]

40. If she keeps being an attention-hog, it's to be expected.

If she doesn't want all this "unwanted attention," why is she sticking her neck out and making herself a public spectacle like this. You can't do that - or keep doing that - and then complain about the attention it gets you with any credibility. It's one thing to be targeted for derision. It's another when you yourself willingly put that target on as part of your clothing when you get dressed every morning.

[LynneSin]

44. Exactly. Announcing one's pregnancy as a disappointment on twitter

isn't really the best way to keep the rest of the world out of your life.

There is no law out there in the world that says all celebrites, no matter how famous, must announce their pregnancies to the world.

[LynneSin]

42. Why? She invited us into her 2nd pregnancy with the twitter

If she didn't want us to know she could have simply kept it private.

Never saw Chelsea Clinton have kids out of wedlock. Heck even the Bush girls managed to get married first before popping out kids and I don't think either of those girls were spokeswomen for Abstinence-Only programs. And you know if either of Obama's girls were pregnant they would be ruthlesses trashed in the media.

I'm no saint and I'm not one to judge. But I have alway pushed for sex education with our children and a smart family planning program like Planned Parenthood that ensured anyone would have access to reliable, safe birth control. I feel a combination of these 2 things means the number of abortions would naturally decline.

But Sarah Palin and her ilk have no problem passing moral judgement on other people and their kids who have children out of wedlock. They mock minorities who are single mothers trying to make ends meet raising their kids and deny these women any options such as affordable or even free birth control.

Bristol Palin is an adult. She is the dummy who made that first twitter calling her current condition a 'huge disappointment'. Perhap the smartest thing that Ms. Palin could do is shut down her social media account, resign from whatever spokesperson roles she might have and just raise her babies in privacy. If she choose to do that then I would respect it and stay out of it. But she invited us in so she needs to realize that she may get people showing up she doesn't want.

[snooper2]

50. I'll pick up the slack for ya!

[joeybee12]

26. I actually haven't seen her say who the father is...

Has anyone?

[tblue37]

28. It was her former fiancé--that Meyers guy. nt

[Freddie]

32. Has anyone actually said that?

Nowadays it's pretty common for a no-longer-together (or never together) couple to have a child and raise him/her as equal parents. A real man would acknowledge his child and announce that he plans to be an active, involved father.
Which leaves 2 possibilities--her ex-fiancé is the biggest kind of pond scum on this earth, a sperm donor who has no intention of raising the child he give life to--or it's not his kid.

[tblue37]

33. Only gossip sites--but apparently she is telling her friends in Wasilla

that he is the father:

http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/bristol-palin-pregnant-baby-daddy-dakota-meyer/

<SNIP>

According to a Wasilla insider, Bristol has told friends “that the baby daddy is her ex-fiancé, Dakota Meyer.”

The couple first sparked rumors of a secret pregnancy when they suddenly got engaged in March after dating just a few months.

<SNIP>

I think that is more likely than not to be the case.

[joeybee12]

47. Could be, but you'd think she'd mention that in her numerous

press releases about this...then again, that would dampen the attention these media-loving yahoos crave.

[hollysmom]

56. I thought she met him a mere 4 months ago.

that sonogram she posted looks further along, so wouldn't that make it the previous boyfriend?

[City Lights]

27. So, Bristol, what mistake did you make?

You admitted you "made a mistake, but it's not the mistake all these giddy a--holes have loved to assume."

So, what mistake did you make?

[Xyzse]

29. Question, this is the first time I've heard of the term Snowbunny.

What does that mean?

[NightWatcher]

34. Bristol Palin is harder to pull out of than Iraq

from the Stephanie Miller show just now

[Va Lefty]

51. lmao

[AwakeAtLast]

39. You mean it was HER CHOICE?!?

OMG, she just made the argument for Choice. GOP heads exploding in 3,2,1........

[WI_DEM]

41. She's just as stupid as her mother.

[Arkana]

43. That's some straight-up nu-jack horseshit.

Unless she's got a husband or a boyfriend, there's no WAY this was planned.

[riderinthestorm]

45. So did she try to trap this guy into marrying her by getting pregnant?

[sub.theory]

46. Why are we slut shaming her?

How is this progressive?

I can't even understand why this is news let alone why progressives are savaging her for daring to have an unplanned pregnancy out of wedlock. Good grief, people. I feel badly for her. It sounds like she may have gotten her heart broken. I'm not going to slut shame her because of who her mother is.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

48. I think it's more like "hypocritical dumbass shaming."

[riderinthestorm]

55. She's not being slut shamed, she's being hypocrite-shamed.

and she doesn't have a broken heart since by all accounts, she broke the engagement off five days before the wedding.

[BlueJazz]

49. I do believe I'll make a mistake this afternoon and drive my car off of a bridge.

[JHB]

60. Shorter Bristol: "I meant to do that!"
