Today Show continues to push the Wasilla Chillbillies..... Bristol and Todd Palin being interviewed
Edited on Wed May-06-09 07:15 AM by OmmmSweetOmmm
now. Under the guise of Bristol being an ambassador for an organization to prevent teen pregnancy.

Matt, kiss up to Palin, Lauer doing the interview.

MSM will not let these people to just go away.

1. Wonderful. The whole family is a Who's- Who of bad examples.
They're like a Jerry Springer show with the broken furniture.

5. She said the only way to prevent it 100% is abstinence but if that isn't possible practice
safe sex.

6. She needs more practice, evidently. OJT doesn't work so well.
What a crock.

14. Did corporate media ask them about screamingly blatant Republicon hypocrisy?
Edited on Wed May-06-09 07:56 AM by SpiralHawk
Or did the corporate media knee-benders just play along as if these Republicon Homelander Hypocrites were somehow in some way legitimate advocates for something they clearly are not ?

16. You alread know the answer. The latter part of your question. They continue to

3. That's OK. Other than being generally nauseating and disgusting,
coverage like this just highlights the hypocrisy of the Republican Party. Just think: they wanted this family to represent America! Really, can you imagine? Idiot Sarah Palin with her 1960's Joanne Worley bee-hive hairdo and comically large glasses our Vice President? Contrast her with Joe Biden.

The Palin Family is a joke. Extra marital affairs, teen pregnancy, charges of corruption, all are apparently intellectually challenged and incurious (remind you of anyone else?).

Let them continue to air their dirty laundry in public. The few who think she'd make a good Governor/VP/President/whatever will always think so, no matter what. They are a part of the 20% who don't think for themselves, and allow others to stoke the fire within them based on fear, hatred, and bigotry.

For everyone else, it will send chills down their spines that this woman was once in the running for the second most powerful position in this nation. And that's not a comforting thought.

4. Are the Palins trying to be the joke of the world?
Bristol Palin promotes teen pregnancy prevention
13 hours ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Unwed mother Bristol Palin is going to take part in a national campaign to help raise awareness for teen pregnancy prevention.
The 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been appointed as a Teen Ambassador for The Candie's Foundation.
Bristol Palin will participate in a town hall meeting Wednesday in New York.
She said in a statement that she feels she could be a living example of the consequences of teen pregnancy.

7. Imagine, Bristol sitting on the interview couch, looking adoringly at her sleeping baby.
Lauer asks her if she thinks that her love for her baby will backfire and make teens want to get pregnant. All she can say "it's hard work"as she then looks lovingly down on Trip.

Can you imagine if the teen pregnancy rate going up because of her flaunting herself as an example? :shrug:

11. This dog and pony show has little to do w/ stopping ....
..... teen pregnancy and a lot more more about getting $ to Bristol.

Maria Dolgetta, a spokeswoman for the foundation, said Palin will be paid for her appearance but declined to disclose how much.

10. The Today Show is the most watched morning show and it's important for me to know
what crap is being stuffed down the throat of the average American.

13. Good, go for it...
I can't afford the extra high blood pressure I'd get from screaming at my TV.

I've seen enough Toadies anyway!

21. It's no where as bad as the Scar and my blood pressure lowered immediately when they had on
the worlds oldest dog. A beautiful 21 year old dachshund who wore bright pink sunglasses to protect her eyes because of cataracts. I'm a sucker for their animal segments.

9. Fine With Me...Dig That Hole Deeper...You Betcha!
I thought McCain was one of the most inept politicians in my lifetime. He looks like Einstein compared with Mooselini and her running Reality Show.

The more this family is exposed and attempt to "craft" an image, the more it keeps Sarah Barracuda as a political freak show. You don't hear about her getting laws passed or making some major political speech. Her "2012" bid is like a Tim Burton production.

15. Unless they start commiting serious felonies (which is proabably about 50/50 odds)
There's no way they can extend their 15 minutes much longer. Strike that, when Todd and Bristol's inevitable sex tape (sorry youngsters, DVD/bluray) surfaces we'll have another 12 months of them.
