Bristol Palin statement only invites further curiosity
I was ready to be done with this, but then...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20090311/bristol-palin/

Bristol Palin said in a statement issued through a spokeswoman for her mother's political action committee that she was "devastated."

"Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do many things to `cash in' on the Palin name," she said. "Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth."

SarahPAC spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton did not immediately respond to requests for clarification.



:wtf:

1. I read it as her being pissed at Levi's sister, implying Levi's sister got paid to blab to Star
magazine or whoever broke it.

thus the PAC, whose spokeswoman issued this public statement.

3. Why the fuck would a PAC spokesperson be addressing this?
And what the hell is the "cashing in" all about? Yeesh.

5. Blame her mother for the circus
and for telling everyone else how to live their lives.
When you parade your pregnant daughter on the party convention stage with her baby daddy, you have made her a target for the media.

Now let's hear her mother discuss family values and out of wedlock babies.
Tell Bristol to stay off TV if she doesn't want to be in the news.

6. "greed clouds good judgment and the truth". Well, the Palins know all
about that, now don't they?

9. Mercede had better watch her back.
You know those hockey moms. Those pit bulls in lipstick. Those Gucci-wearin', moose-shootin', library cleansin', Pat Buchannan charmin' Hot Mama GOP 2012 Presidential Hopefuls. She's likely to end up in an "accident."

Really, though, we should leave the kids alone. And the kids' kids.

10. "cash in on the Palin name" ??
In this economy? These people are beyond delusional.

Isn't there PAC set-up to cash in on the Palin name?
