He shoots, he scores

The father of Bristol Palin's baby is a superb hockey player, a self-professed redneck ... and a bit of a potty mouth.

Trailer park trash

There must be enough votes in the trailer park trash class if McInsane chose one of them as his running mate.

The Wasilla Hillbillies

So, America really wants a gaggle of trailer park trash as "Second Family"????

Damnit, no edit function here

Since she's pregnant, you should have used this banner:

HE SCORES

HE SHOOTS

What I said elsewhere in the joint, er, saloon, er, salon

What is REALLY funny is if the guy is good enough to play in the NHL and, since Bristol's mother is a fundie, he gets drafted by the NJ Devils.lol

BTW-It's almost time to drop the puck.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!1

Go Blackhawks.

America's family

Someone on Pollster.com talking about the demographics of this pick, said, "well it certainly targeted the trailer trash vote." Confirmed by the New York Post What were the McCain folks thinking, or were they thinking

It's relevant because..

It's relevant because social conservatives make it relevant. Everyone else is judged and if found lacking they're called on it but when it's someone from the right they're supposed to be off limits.

I say bullshit.

The goalposts are fixed and the Palin family misses the mark.

Sounds like he'll make a great dad

Look, to all you who say this shouldn't be discussed -- it's the evangelical wing of the Republican Party that pushed McCain into picking Palin instead of Ridge or Lieberman because they're pro-choice. The same wingnuts who push publicly funded religious indoctrination that they call abstinence-only education. Looks like their abstinence only-approach doesn't work out so well. So now baby daddy, who doesn't want kids, has to get married because Miss Congeniality is running for VP. Better put down the stick and go to work at the cannery or pipeline.

The best theory I've seen, in the comments section at Fark, is that McCain picked Palin to appease the GOP just until the week is done. Then, safely out of town, Pailn can resign because her family needs her, and he can pick his Good Friend Joe.

and this is relevant...

... because inquiring minds want to know!

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 07:33 AM

Exactly

There is next to nothing relevant about detailing the sordid details of this tale. Leave that to People Magazine. What's relevant here has nothing to do with the decisions of a 17 year-old, but rather the decisions of a 72 year-old.

It has everything to do with who Gov. Palin is, what she stands for, and how she would serve this country and absolutely nothing to do with the choices Bristol Palin has made in her personal life.

Sounds like a typical highschool kid

I see no reason to pass judgement on this poor kid.

He and his girlfriend are kind of in a tough boat because of his future mother in law's ambition.

It would have been nice if they could have worked this stuff out in private, but like Trig, they are a political prop for Palin. Showing how wonderful teen pregnancy and motherhood can be and how awful abortion is.

This should be a private family matter, it's a shame that Ms. Palin can't see that.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 07:32 AM

So what?

Because these folks (Palin and McCain) are pushing abstinence-only sex ed for guys like this. Guess what? It doesn't work!!!!

Darwin didn't account for this.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 07:32 AM

Again, why is this relevant to anything?

There is plenty to criticize about Palin and McCain's judgment and abilities. Why are you focusing on the immature writings of a 19-year old?

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 07:31 AM

s*it man,

wah the F*uk man, babies? F*ck that s*it man. AK-47's the best, Alaska forever mother f*cker.

Bitch preggy? S*it...Hockey is my friggin life man. Vote for McCain man...He won't preach gun control or using a f*ckin condom man, dig?...

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 07:29 AM

And this is relevant...

Why?

He sounds pretty much like any 17 year old jock, all testosterone and little common sense. So what?
