Bristol Palin defends herself against ‘giddy a$$holes': ‘I meant to get pregnant — so deal with it’

Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaskan half-term Governor Sarah Palin, pushed back at critics who mocked her second unwed pregnancy, calling them “giddy a$$hole(s)” and saying her latest pregnancy was planned.

Last week, Palin glumly reported that she was — once again — pregnant, coming just weeks after her planned marriage to Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer fell apart.

In her original blog post announcing the latest pregnancy, she wrote, “Honestly, I’ve been trying my hardest to keep my chin up on this one,” before adding, “I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you.”

Writing on her blog on Sunday, Palin seemed to disregard the tone of her announcement, stating: “I made a mistake, but it’s not the mistake all these giddy a$$holes have loved to assume. This pregnancy was actually planned.”

“Everyone knows I wanted more kids, to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself,” she wrote. “Things didn’t go as planned, but life keeps going. Life moves on.”

Palin also defended herself against critics who mocked her earlier career spent at an sexual abstinence “spokesperson,” quizzically using the mission statement from her former employer — the abstinence promoting Candie’s Foundation — as a defense. “In other words, they are a teen pregnancy prevention non-profit and I worked for them when I was 18 and 19 — when I could share first hand the challenges of being a teen mother,” she wrote.

However in a 2009 interview with In Touch magazine, Palin said, “I’m not going to have sex until I’m married, I can guarantee it.”

that she needs to announce every little detail to the world. How many pregnancies (planned or unplanned) will there be among single people this year? As for her work as an "abstinence spokesperson," well I imagine most people who use that phrase to describe themselves can't wait to have sex.

If she's happy with her pregnancy, then sincere congratulations to her. Frankly, though, I don't need to know the details.

I'm wondering if she can even plan where to end a sentence when she starts writing.

And she planned it all too? Well, bless you.

whether the second fiance is the father of the child she now carries. He broke up with her days before the wedding and then, a week or two later, Bristol announced she's pregnant.

first wife. But the whole marriage seemed a bit of a rush, did it not?

But what's up with the "planned pregnancy" bullshit. Don't people of her family's political persuasion plan their pregnancies to start AFTER they get married? Doesn't getting pregnant, ON PURPOSE, reek a bit of trailer trash? Bristol is a single mom with some money. Why the fuck doesn't she get an IUD and go to college. I hope she's gotten the HPV vaccine too.

FWIW, I think "Giddy Assholes" would make a great band name. Stay classy Bristol!

If this were an AA woman, she'd be excoriated for having two out of wedlock babies with two different fathers.

In 2011, when she was 20, Palin made $262,000 as an abstinence ambassador for The Candie’s Foundation, the Associated Press reported, citing tax documents. A total amount earned over the years has not been revealed.

...and got knocked up before getting married. In fact, she has yet to be married, and is now on her second pregnancy. IOW, when it comes to premarital sex, it's "abstinence for thee but not for me".

To top it off, she assures us that this was "planned". Apparently her idea of a plan was to get knocked up first and get married after. Good plan there, Bristol.

And she thinks people should stop making fun of her? Not bloody likely!

Dear Bristol: Stop preaching about things you CLEARLY have no knowledge of. Also, stop doing things like brawling at a party and punching the host in the face several times. When stuff like that stops happening, people may start to consider not making fun of you.

In the meantime, here's to you dear:
