"Where did she go wrong and why did she sin? Here’s a clue: She’s a kid and, governor’s kid or not, she’s a dumb teenager who made a mistake. Dumbteenager should logically be one word since, no matter how book smart they are, by definition teens are dumb in the sense of being immature and impulsive, and, yes, they’re bubbling with hormones. Put those characteristics together and they make errors in their lives, sometimes serious errors the consequences of which change their lives forever."
Yep, she made a mistake. Hey, but here's a fun question: WHEN did she sin?
Well, using my magic calendar, and subtraction, it appears that ol' Bristol was playing "hide the salami" in .... April.
And what is going on in April? Well, here's another hint: Sarah, that epitome of the Caring, Selfless Mommy, was just settling in to being Governor at that time.
Mommy Sarah seems to have dropped the ball big time during that period. That "settling-in" period, when she was learning how to Be the BIG MOOSE-SHOOTING ROOTIN'-TOOTIN' CHEESE of a Governor, was also the period where she got preggers again at the age of 43. That's also the time she was abusing her power as Governor trying to get the ex-brother-in-law fired. That's when she was changing her story about being against the Bridge to Nowhere.
She was SO BUSY being the BIG MOOSE-SHOOTING ROOTIN'-TOOTIN' CHEESE that she forgot to check where her kid was.
She couldn't even keep track of a single 16 year old. You want this incompetent to be in charge of the Nuclear Suitcase?
"Oh, gee, where did I put that old suitcase? They told me it was important, but gee, I was just so busy dressing mooses that I put it down, and just forgot where it was. We can replace it, can't we?"
