Mom of Bristol Palin's former fiance pleads guilty
By MARY PEMBERTON (AP) – 1 hour ago

PALMER, Alaska — The mother of the man former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol had planned on marrying has reached a plea deal in her drug case.

Sherry Johnston pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of possession with intent to deliver the painkiller OxyContin. Five other felony counts were dropped.

"That's pretty," Johnston said as a court officer placed pink handcuffs, a gift from an Arizona sheriff, around her wrists.

She hugged her lawyer, Rex Butler, before being escorted out of the courtroom and taken to a correctional facility where she'll be held until her Nov. 20 sentencing.

Although Johnston could receive 20 years in prison, her attorney and prosecutors agreed to a five-year sentence, with two years suspended, Butler said, considering the small quantities of drugs involved. The judge has the sentencing recommendation under review.

1. And Rush Limbaugh gets away without any punishment at all.

He was guilty of possessing more than four hundred tabs and also of doctor shopping. Both felonies and yet not even a trial. It certainly pays to have all those millions..

4. Yup. Words vs actions. Then again, a software company claims to condone piracy,

yet freely tolerates piracy as long as it suits them.

2. Pink handcuffs? Law enforcement should refuse such goofball trappings

if it wants to be taken seriously.

3. Was she getting it for Rush Limbaugh?
