Enquirer: Willow Palin, 16, might be pregnant too (update)

wenn5200604

The National Enquirer is running a story this week about a rumor that Sarah Palin’s daughter Willow, age 16, is POSSIBLY pregnant. They’re not saying it’s for sure, they are, in my opinion, just printing a rumor, although I haven’t had the chance to read the full Enquirer story in the print edition. Here’s what the Enquirer claims:

SARAH PALIN has ANOTHER teen pregnancy scandal on her hands – and this time it’s BRISTOL”s younger sister WILLOW! The former Alaska governor recently flipped out after learning that her 16-year-old daughter Willow was not only having sex, but feared she might be pregnant by her 18-year-old boyfriend, sources told The ENQUIRER.

“Sarah was shocked,” a close source divulged. “She felt like she was reliving a nightmare!”

According to the source, Willow began to panic when her period was a week late.

“She went out and bought a home pregnancy test and was on pins and needles,” divulged the source.

[From The National Enquirer]

Okay, people… before you just jump down my throat, let me just say that I’m not happy to do this story AT ALL. I have mixed feelings about whether Willow Palin should be discussed whatsoever – on one side, I feel like underage children of any political candidate should be off limits, period, the end. On the other side, Sarah Palin isn’t really defined (solely) as a political candidate – she’s a reality star now, and her show features her children, including 16 year old Willow, and Willow participated in some of the media for the reality show too. So she‘s as relevant, gossip/celebrity-culture-wise, as one of the young Jenner girls (daughters of Kris and Bruce Jenner, half-sisters of the Kardashian women), who walk red carpets and are allowed to do press. If one of the Jenner girls got pregnant, wouldn’t it be news?

All of that being said, I doubt Willow is pregnant, and I think the Enquirer is really cheap for publishing the story if they didn‘t have any solid confirmations. And if she is knocked up, my guess is that she’ll go the Bristol route and become a “star” in her own right.

UPDATE: I just read the full Enquirer story, and in the print edition, they claim that Willow is sexually active, she had a pregnancy scare, but when she took an in-home test, it came back negative. They also claim that Sarah Palin was “shocked” that Willow was sexually active. That about it.

    This is just stirring the pot. Even if this story is true, you’re right – there’s no point in printing if it they don’t have solid leads.

  2. bite me says:

    how klassy

  3. K says:

    She’s a very pretty girl.

  4. Vee says:

    Well, unfortunately, the reality show has made the Palin children fair game, it’s part of the deal, the good and the bad.

    Is Willow pregnant, who knows? And yes, the Palin children are gorgeous.

  5. ruru says:

    I agree with your stance on kids of stars/politicians, HOWEVER after seeing Willow Palin act like a complete tool on Facebook, I honestly can’t feel sorry for her.

    And no, her age doesn’t excuse her behaviour.

  6. embertine says:

    While I normally agree that a politician’s kids should be kept out of their parent’s politics, Sarah Palin is a staunch advocate of abstinence-only sex education, so I do think the fact that her beliefs have failed so spectacularly in her own life is relevant.

    HOWEVER: Bristol (and Willow, if this story is true) should not be attacked directly. Dissent should be directed to her mother, whose policy of keeping teenage girls ignorant is so self-evidently destructive.

  7. kb says:

    interesting comments about how the Palin family is “now” fair game. They have been “fair game” long before this. The way this family has been treated because the majority in the media disagree with their ideology is disgusting. And before people start commenting on how they have brought this upon themselves . . . can we think of any liberal politicians who have had their children investigated and exposed to such ridicule?

  8. maya says:

    Willow is a pretty girl. She is much prettier than Bristol.

  9. Tapioca says:

    Hell, they printed a (bulls**t!) story about 16-year old Jamie-Lynn Spears being pregnant a few years back that turned out to be just a little prescient…

  10. flourpot says:

    I don’t approve. Bristol crossed that line and put herself in public eye. The other is being forced into the eye because of her name. That’s just not right. Even if she is pregnant, she should be off limits. She’s not of age. And even if she was, it’s just sleazy.

  11. Marjalane says:

    Since when did it become O.K. for ANY publication to go to print with a story that had nothing more than an anonymous source who “claims” that Willow was a week late and bought a pregnancy test? This “source” could be just another 16 year old classmate that wants to start something. Even if the Enquirer has some kind of “proof”, I think it’s hideous that they feel entitled to put this out there about a 16 year old.

  12. teri says:

    The rumor mill is spinning out of control over this family. If it’s not to hurt Bristol with DWTS it’s aimed at Sarah and her other children. Like I said they’ll dig deeper to put doubt in weak people’s minds. Tabloids are so dirty. I don’t buy them anymore.

  13. mln says:

    I don’t approve of this story especially if it isn’t true but I do think it’s valid to talk about their Facebook bullying. If a politician packages themselves as someone who supports family values and in the public(Facebook is public) their children do things to directly contradict that then that is fair game.

  14. Kate says:

    kb:7 — I agree. The media’s treatment of these people when they first came to the natioinal scene was absolutely awful. While they have contributed mightily since that time to bring it on themselves, the initial coverage of Sarah Palin, her family and their personal lives was disgusting. Honestly I attribute it more to the rampant misogyny still existent in this country than liberal-bias (although that contributed to it too). If everyone will recall, Hillary Clinton wasn’t exactly given a fair shake by the media during the 2010 campaign.

  15. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    This is sad. 1. to publish a rumor about a kid. and/or 2. the thought she could actually be pregnant.

    This is out of control. GIRLS! SAY NO!

  16. susanne says:

    Not right to report on, no matter what her mother does, or how publicly she makes an idiot of herself.

    She’s 16, and not an adult. I don’t think she’s capable of really consenting to half the shit that she’s doing. And she’s got no one guiding her who is sane…

    She’s an innocent kid. Leave her alone.

  17. Nicole says:

    I hope she is pregnant, lmfao!

  18. devilgirl says:

    What nice wishes Nicole.

  19. Ycnan says:

    Good lord. If one of your daughters got pregnant, wouldn’t it be a wake up call to discuss birth control with the rest of them and put them on the pill? I mean come on! Teenagers have sex, this is not new.

    Anyhoo, probably not true but I find it so mind boggling that some people refuse to acknowledge that a lot of teens have sex, it’s natural for them to want to and doesn’t make them bad people. If only their parents would get their heads out to the sand.

  20. Statler says:

    ‘On the other side, Sarah Palin isn’t really defined (solely) as a political candidate – she’s a reality star now…’

    Please don’t buy into it.

    I could go on and on about this, but I really have to get ready for work. So I’m just going to cut and paste this quote from Salon (yes, I know- ugh- but sometimes there’s gold in the dross):

    ‘…Those managing her [Palin] as a media creation are using her to push the perceived center further to the right than it already is, which will allow real candidates for the Republican nomination to recycle the radical orthodoxies of the far right and still seem “moderate.” Candidates for the Democratic nomination will be required to similarly hew further right, so as not to seem like the “socialists” or “communists” they have already been labeled by the rightwing lunatic fringe.

    ‘Palin makes big bucks and doesn’t have to actually learn or do anything, while becoming the philosophical lodestar for the right, and our entire political system is transformed into a battle not between left and right but between right and extreme right.’

    (All credit to someone named Robert. Lol.)

    Edit to add: I agree the media shouldn’t focus on children, unless their parents have already pushed them into the spotlight. Whether or not you think the Palins have done this with Willow I’ll leave to your consideration.

  21. Anna says:

    susanne, her recent conduct hints that she’s not as innocent as she seems.

  22. Shazza says:

    #7- Guess you’re too young to remember Rush Limbaugh’s TV show where he announced that the White House had gotten a dog then held up a picture of a 14-yr. old Chelsea Clinton. And there were always cracks about the Carter family so please with the bias against the Palins.

  23. Ann says:

    The Palin family is nasty white trash.

  24. aenflex says:

    And FemmePalin Mama is gonna run for president. I am literally quaking at the thought of 2012….could the Mayans have known?

  25. K says:

    @kb, I see what you’re saying. The media hooplah over Chelsea Clinton’s wedding would be my example, followed by the media attempts to track her down after her father left office. The reason we didn’t see many fleshed out articles was due to her attempts to guard her privacy, instead of courting the media and scandal the way the Palin girls are doing. Of course, Bristol got a double dose, between her mother and babydaddy Levi’s famewhoring.

    We don’t see the same scrutiny focused on the Obama girls, because their parents guard them. I think your argument would be more valid if Palin shielded her girls with the same ferocity, instead of trotting them out as a part of her platform. (Most of my local politicians, conservative AND liberal guard their families from the media, even if they have a pro-family stance similar to Palin’s.) And if they guarded their own privacy, a la Clinton and Bush twins in later years.

  26. Stronzilla says:

    Man, don’t they have anything else to do up there in Alaska? Don’t they sell condoms? Whatever happened to sex education? How is it possible in this day and age witih such an adundance of information available at your fingertips and an even greater abundance of STDs flying around that a 16-year old girl still wouldn’t have a clue? Are they so busy shooting the bears in the trees they don’t have time to discuss the birds and the bees? And to be running around with an 18 year old guy? Sarah Pailn based her platform on family values, family values, and she trotted her family out every chance she could to perpetuate that and she’s still doing the same now to try and stay relevant and if she continues, America will be the first country to elect a reality star president.

    yeah clintons kid chelsea, im a 21 year old swed, and even i remember how they attacked her.

  29. Ashley says:

    Question: I didn’t watch the Palin show the other night, but was Willow featured on it?

    If yes, then I DO think this piece of speculation should be treated the same way as it would be if this story was instead about Ali Lohan.

    If she wasn’t, I feel like Willow shouldn’t be judged or ridiculed, but left alone.

    However, assuming this ends up true (regardless of Willows participation in the show) Sarah should be called on the carpet for her stance on sex ed vs. the reality of her daughters’ pregnancies.

  30. carrie says:

    i don’t care but use condoms for sex!

  31. guesty says:

    @nicole…lol!!!! if this is true…hysterical.

  32. ziggy says:

    if sarah palin is ever taken as a serious presidential candidate this country is in trouble. the woman is a complete and utter moron – in my opinion- and i wished this family would just disappear back into the alaska wilderness.

  33. Gigohead says:

    @mln- I agree that what shocks me more is the facebook attack — shows to me that these kids lack any sensitivity — and when the barrel of fish stinks, it stinks from the top.

  34. girl says:

    I am not sure where this idea that she is a staunch advocate of abstinance only education comes from. They staunchly advocate abstinence (however successfully, ahem) but I have never heard SP shill for abstinenc only programs in schools. I am open to being proven wrong.

    For the record, in Alaska, at least in ANC, they have comprehensive sex-ed.

    I hope she isn’t pregnant and I doubt she is. I am surprised there wasn’t more of an uproar about the horrid language she used on FB when people were teasing her family. She really should apologize if she hasn’t already.

  35. mel says:

    I’m not wishing that she’s pregnant. If she is her momma needs to stop worrying about politics and start focusing on her family.

    BTW Willow looks a lot like Bristol.

  36. padiddle says:

    Other’s have already brought it up, but I was just going to say that Chelsea Clinton had enormous amounts of pressure put on her by the media/tabloids both when her dad was president and after. They said some really nasty things about her too, and criticized her appearance when she was still very young. I believe that she has said it made her very guarded and protective of her life after her time at the White House ended. And although there was a lot of favorable stuff printed about JFK jr. , he was also scrutinized in the tabloids as well.

  37. Tupelo Honey says:

    Anyone who thinks Bristol (and possibly Willow) got pregnant because they were taught “abstinence-only education” is an idiot. Teenagers get pregnant EVERY SINGLE DAY all over this country … you think it’s because they were all taught abstinence? NO … it’s because teens are young, stupid and irresponsible. To think that the Palin girls don’t know how babies are made is just ignorant!

  38. Angela says:

    @Tulepo Honey – As an adult who came from an abstinence only family, I will state that kids also get pregnant whose parents will not admit teenage birth control usage is a wise idea. I had to sneak around to get on the pill or get condoms, because my parents thought openly discussing the idea would promote premarital sexual activity.

  39. anti says:

    maybe that’s why willow freaked out on the twitter when folks were giving her sister crap about getting pregnant.

  40. Gail says:

    I think Sarah Palins teenage kids are “fair game” for reporting on for something like this (that may turn out to be true, who knows?) because of their mothers very public stance about “abstinence only” and the fact Bristol makes a lot of money for pushing that agenda now for her.SP has presented herself as this icon of “family values”, a second book promoting this is being published soon, and the irony is, she IS turning out to be just like those horrid liberal Godless ppl she makes such a fuss over ruining her version of america.The kind whose kids end up pregnant and unwed just like any other normal family where the values preached in public aren’t really practiced at home.Thats what makes her family fair game.The reality is, she’s not at home when shes all over the media all the time, appearing on this and that, and her kids are just as unsupervised as any one parent family who she thinks are such a threat to society.And the most disgusting thing to me about that is, when she was Governor I read numerous news articles about how she had taken much money out of the only program in Alaska that sheltered, fed and helped young unwed mothers.Her unwed kids will never need a program like that since mommy is rich, isn’t that fortunate for them?The woman simply doesn’t seem to be imparting much of the party line she shills at home upon her children.And my point is not that she doesn’t have the right to be a normal parent of teens struggling to get them thru the teen yrs unscathed, but that she tells the rest of us how bad we are when this is OUR family it happens to, points the finger at our values and pretends she’s so much better of a parent and a God Fearing American then the rest of us and can tell us how we fail.Then she makes a political platform out of this fiction and runs for office on being the good old fashioned hockey mom she pretends to be.She’s a hypocrite.Thats why it’s fair game.

  41. texasmom says:

    I didn’t see the TLC show, but saw a clip where Sarah is making a big to-do about how no boys are allowed upstairs, re: Willow and her boyfriend. So, yeah, they seem to be willing to put their family out there when it suits them.

    As an adult, I still think it is unmannerly to snipe at a 16-year-old, either about this rumor or the homophobic slurs.

    As a voter, if Sarah Palin insists on making her political identity out of being a mamma grizzly who is all about common sense. . . it is hard not to take note of things like lots and lots of unplanned pregnancies in her family, her kids’ using homophobic slurs, etc. Why hasn’t Mrs. Palin made some comment about the homophobic comments?? I fault her for that, not some teenager’s dumb mistakes.

  42. Anastasia says:

    Hey! Only Sarah Palin can use her children for her own publicity and promotion! Other people aren’t allowed to do the same thing.

    /sarcasm

    You put your family out there, honey bear. Put them on a reality TV show, used them during the campaign. This is what happens, for better or for worse. This is part of the publicity deal.

  43. munchies says:

    bristol apologized for their acts in Facebook but honestly, im glad they stand up to defend their family. geez.. if it happened to me, ill also smack down these turds.
    besides, willow is a teen. people use the words gay everyday. i dont know why its so big issue to hear this soo gay word.

    those kids whom she called fags well deserve it. theyre random bullies and losers in FB.

    shes cute by the way. baby skin. anyway whatever, i only like piper. shes the real star.

  44. baby says:

    #40 ditto

  45. Bodhi says:

    @ Ashley ~ I watched it is it was HILARIOUS!! Unintentionally so, of course. My understanding is that she is doing the show to show the public how normal & every day American she is, but its a total joke! She makes cracks about not having *much* staff & then she & Todd fly off in their biplane & have adventures. I’m sure SURE that the rest of the “regular” folks in Alaska live on a lake & routinely travel by biplane… 🙄

    But anyway, yes, Willow is defiantly on the show & is featured fairly heavily on the show. Does anyone know when it was shot? There is no mention of either Willow or Piper being in school.

    Edit: It is a big issue because words like gay & fag are cruel, irresponsible & constitute bullying, which is NEVER ok!

  46. texasmom says:

    munchies — it isn’t ok to use those slurs. If you are a homosexual, how are you going to feel if the worst insult everyone around you can think of is a description of you? It would be like being a red-head and everyone calling anyone they didn’t like “a ginger.” If someone is acting like a jerk, call them out for their behavior, don’t insult a group of innocent people by calling the jerk by their identity!

  47. Kim says:

    Munchies Are you saying its OK for Willow to call people f*ggots simply because they insult her mother. Would it be OK to call them n*ggers too.As for Willow she is on the reality show so she is a celeb now. Fair game IMO

  48. stevie68a says:

    Of course she’s fair game because you can’t have it both ways. Willow is being influenced by mother, and
    this family values thing is tired and worn out. Most
    people have values already, this sound bite is so over.
    Nobody has told Bristol that you can’t teach a class
    that you failed. (Although Bristol seems like a very
    nice woman). Like Willow, way too much influence by
    mama. I tell Sarah, we don’t need a “hockey mam” for
    president.

  49. Cheyenne says:

    I can’t stand anyone in the Palin household, but come on, Kaiser — repeating a tabloid rumor that she “might” be pregnant? No kid deserves this, I don’t care how obnoxious she is.

  50. di butler says:

    “Using homophoblic slurs.” When is the last time ya’ll were around real teenagers/seen their FB pages/went to a teen event? They use raunchy language (GASP!) call each other all kinds of names, (gay, slut, ho, etc.), and get skeevy all over each other. They call it “Friday Night.”

  51. Amy says:

    Maybe it is a retaliatory action against her for her outbursts on facebook.

  52. LindaR says:

    I think that the tabloids spreading their lying smut and gossip about people is just as bad as when someone posts lies, bullying comments or inappropriate pictures on the internet about someone. We go after the average assjerk that does this but the public continues to buy the rags that do the same thing to famous people and the children of famous people. I don’t get it. Why is that ok?

  53. Jeri says:

    Besides the reality show, Willow’s public statements calling someone a f–got open her up to public discussion.

  54. texasmom says:

    di butler — it’s still wrong, and it’s still harmful to gay kids everywhere. I don’t care if everyone does it, it used to be everybody White went to the town lynching, even took souvenir photos. (I’m NOT equating slurs to lynchings, just saying that people often endorse horrible behavior if they think everyone acts like it is ok. BUT IT ISN’T.)

  55. Jeri says:

    The Palins are all about the money and politics are just a way of getting richer at others’ expense. Speaking fees, TV shows, etc. That’s why Sarah resigned as governor, she wasn’t allowed to write books and accept paid endorsements deals while serving her term.

  56. Marjalane says:

    @butler

    I agree, I think a lot of this outrage is situational; I’m around teens a lot- all varities of teens, and the stuff they call each other usually makes me shudder, but they think nothing of it, and rightly so because it isn’t been said hatefully, it’s just what they do.

  57. Tomas says:

    Money can’t buy you class….I think that phrase was specifically written for the Palin family. And apparently, it couldn’t buy them any common sense or a condom either!

  58. Shannon says:

    As much as I dislike Sarah Palin and all she stands for, and as much as I’m annoyed by Bristol’s hypocritical abstinence-only talk circuit, I cannot abide by the media making things up about politicians’ underage children. Just leave her alone until she’s at least 18 please.

    She’s just a dumb kid (as her Facebook comments clearly show) and she is not ready to grapple with the media spotlight. She needs to be allowed to grow up a bit before we start lambasting her for her words and actions. Most 16 year olds haven’t a clue how their words and actions will impact them, and they have the luxury of being anonymous. Can we please have the decency to extend that to Willow?

    I would feel differently if she were Miley Cyrus or Raccoon eyes, because they have made careers out of being in the spotlight and they have agents and publicists and people to train them in what to say, so if they still act like idiots I don’t really have a problem with denigrating them. But politicians’ kids are a different story. Even famewhore Sarah Palin’s kids.

  59. Bopa says:

    Isn’t there another rumor that her daughter on DWTS is pregs again. Smoke and mirrors here maybe?

  60. Anon73 says:

    i think it’s sad — whether Willow is pregnant or not — that she is sexually active at age 16. in general, i am not a fan of teens have sex. i think they should wait until they are older.

    also : i share view that the Palin kids are very good-looking bunch.

  61. Heather says:

    Not sure how I feel about kids being gossiped about.I guess they are public figures but…just seems wrong.

  62. boo boo says:

    The palin children are goregous??? Give me a break…….

  63. Feebee says:

    I think this story is bollocks. But the comments for this article are very interesting. It’s a hard topic because so much is in play. I’m still stunned at Shazza’s comment about what Rush Limbaugh said about Chelsea Clinton. No wonder she’s a publicity recluse.

    As for Willow, 16 aint what it used to be. I don’t condone any nastiness on children with parents in the public eye but she’s old enough, and surely her mother has counselled her, about the effect anything she does publicly now. Teen A in South Dakota using the Fag word on FB is not going to get the recognition Willow Palin in Alaska will get doing the same thing.

    @ aenflex, don’t be frightened, should she run and win the nomination it could be a hilarious campaign. I know Americans say they don’t care what the rest of the world thinks of them but I think they’d be wary of gaining laughing stock status. Palin 2012, bring it on. Willow will be 18, that’ll be even more interesting.

  64. Obvious says:

    @munchies i hope to god you are a troll. especially in the wake of all tragedy befalling the bullied gay kids it seems especially worse to me. Bristol especially should no better, but you’d think Ms. Family Values herself would keep a better eye on her kids.

    @mln, where have you been. I’ve missed you arguing all my points for me!

    Willow is now a public person. Her mom put her in that position. I will say i saw the preview with Sarah saying no boys upstairs, and my first thought was “and did we just recently instate this rule?”

  65. Westcoaster says:

    If the tabloids are tough on the Palin children now, imagine if Sarah Palin decides to run for President?

  66. telesma says:

    Actually, I think when you choose to parade your family around in front of the media, they do, in fact, become fair game. And what someone else said about her abstinence only stance is correct. If her positions are being demonstrated or disproven in her own family, that makes her family a valid story.

    That said, I’d like to see proof before jumping on this train.

  67. K.at says:

    ITO am utterly astounded at the pure idiocy of this family, and am extraordinarily interested in what moronic pea-brain thought she was a qualified candidate for vp. Thank god I’m a democrat- I mean she basically admitted how wrong she was for office in the commercials for her show- dYing something along the lines of shed rather be in nature than in some “stuffy office” Well then, Einstein, perhaps running for one of the most important and influential titles in the WORLD was a pretty stupid decision, no? I cannot dtand how stupid and hypocritical this family is.

    Also, isn’t Bristol joining forces with the Situation, a walking STD, to promote absinence? No wonder our country is fli g apart

  68. mystified says:

    I agree Willow is exceptionally pretty and in a very unique way. Wish her the best, whatever her story.

  69. george is a liar says:

    wow! another pregnant, underage, unmarried daughter. by all means let’s put sarah palin in the white house! we haven’t had a republican decimate family values so blatantly for a while, it might be a refreshing change of pace…

  70. Gia says:

    I’d really hate to find out Willow Palin is pregnant. If the kid is having sex or pregnant it’s because Mom and Dad are too busy to be as involved as they need to be. Granted, kids will manage to do things all on their own but I’d be disappointed in Willow – knowing how much flack she and the rest of the family will get and the target will be their “conservative and faithbased values and beliefs”…

    Seriously, the Palins need to retreat to themselves a little more. It’s likely that as Bristol has gotten so much attention Willow has been trusted a little too much to NOT make certain mistakes or to be wiser but the fact is that she’s still a child who needs supervision and guidance. The public eye is doing more harm than good for this family.

  71. hatsumomo says:

    I hope to God she is pregnant! Its would just be too funny.

  72. Skuzz says:

    I don’t like this family. Momma is as dumb as a box of rocks and her education is kinda sketchy. She has a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in journalism cobbled together from four different collages. She wanted to be on TV, not president.

    Bristol is an obvious fame seeker. She cashes in on speaking engagements highlighting her hypocrisy and does reality TV. Still on that show thanks to her mother btw.

    I didn’t know that much about Willow until recently. She seemed content to be trotted out and pranced around the ring to advance her mothers political career.

    Then came the Facebook thing. I’ll agree 16 year olds sometimes call each other f@ggots and such, it’s lame but whatever. What got me was the other comments. Talking about how successful her family was and those guys were just losers and always would be.

    To me, that’s a rare insight into the way she really sees her situation, and how much she’s digging it. Mama bear is raising one of those elitists she says hates so much. She posted that on a public forum, It’s fair to bash her publicly for it.

    I’ll wait and see about the pregnancy thing, if it’s true, I will LOL for days.

    This is why abstinence-only education doesn’t work.

    Hey, society, let’s show everyone how much fun it is to be in a swimming pool but not teach them how to swim or that they might drown if they jump in the ocean without a life vest. Just tell them not to play in the water. Sure, some kids will obey your command, but of the ones that don’t, how many will drown who didn’t need to?

    16 is not THAT young. People need to stop reacting like she’s 7 and getting caught screwing. Enough gasping and being shocked that this “kid” wants to be sexually active in some fashion or another and more education is in order.

  76. Julia says:

    And to the poster above, no this 16 year old is not sexually active because Mom and Dad aren’t around enough. She’s sexually active because she’s a teenager (almost a legal adult) and wants to be.

    I don’t like the Palin’s, but I also don’t like the position sex has taken on in our society. The problem with making vaginal intercourse so verboten and loaded with ethical/religious implications is that it somehow lessens the import of other types of sexual acts. This is why teens who are “abstinent” are giving out bj’s like they are candy–like they aren’t sex, so they don’t matter. People aren’t protecting themselves from STI’s because they don’t think of these things as “sex”.

    I’m also pretty sure that abstaining for religious reasons doesn’t mean oral is ok, but these are the kinds of loopholes people find when sexuality is laden with more shame than education.

    I think it’s Mrs. John McCain? To funny

    Thank you Gail!

    Your post: “I think Sarah Palins teenage kids are “fair game” for reporting on for something like this (that may turn out to be true, who knows?) because of their mothers very public stance about “abstinence only” and the fact Bristol makes a lot of money for pushing that agenda now for her.”

    – is well reasoned and something that is probably lost on SP and her followers.

    – SP is *touting herself* as a mama grizzly and is doing her best to see her children follow in mom’s footsteps of *fancy pageant walking* – she puts HER OWN children out there at the drop of a hat!

    SP apologists…get a life of your own…quit worrying so much about your neighbor and take care of your own backyard, and your own children!

  79. mtn girl says:

    @ munchies: glad to know the Palins aren’t “random” but they are “bullies and losers” on FB, and Twitter for that matter. Btw: would someone please tell SP that just because one uses Twitter and FB does not mean they are that smart or even worth considering for POTUS…rant over!

    I’m not surprised. I think the reason children (and yes that is what they are, when you are not old enough to vote you are a child in my opinion–I won’t go into details why the driving age should be raised to 18) have sex younger and younger is because there’s nothing to do and they are walloped by all the sex in the media.

    When someone like Miley Cyrus who hooks up at 15 with a 20 year old guy, what kind of role model is that for someone like Willow?

    Say, I wonder how many people the older brother has been shagging and if he got anyone pregnant? Or is it just Willow and Bristol?

    Obviously Willow hasn’t learned from her older sister. Way to go Sarah. 😛

    Her use of language in Facebook only demonstrates how people hate in others what they see in themselves, in this case an unnatural obsession with bum-hole play.

  82. CJ says:

    Sarah Palins children are “fair game” because she made it that way. She and the first Dude parading their children everyone of them from the mentally challenged one to the pregnant one all over the TV.No one made her do that. “Mamma grizzley” seems to be trying to dictate what everybody else should be doing except the ones that lives with her. Maybe if she got her a$$ back to Alaska and take care of her family instead of running around using a book tour and her trying to get others elected as her excuse then maybe her kids would know what to do with their lives that don’t include f–king. I just hope that Willow hasn’t gotten with the Situation but at least he claims to use condoms. Mamma Grizzley or Soccer Mom or whatever she is calling herself today need to try something new like being a “REAL MOTHER” to her children. That book is suppose to be about her life well I wouldn’t suggest anyone waste their money because it all about her whining about everything from JFK to American Idol (isn’t that ironic). And one last thing as much as she may have sided with her family calling people “f-ggots,
    is not acceptable because bullying is out of control and this is one way it gets started, I don’t care who she is.

    be real. Nobody was trashing the family when the Palin girls began their obscenities on Facebook. One boy stated that SPAK show was failin’. It is. He merely stated the truth and was called a faggot and various other names for it.

    The girls reflect their mother’s parenting and it’s obvious they didn’t get any.

    If Willow is pregnant, it wouldn’t surprise me. She’s been having sex with various boys since she was in the 8th grade. Her possible baby daddy is 18. Poor Garrett.
