Letterman Apologizes For Joke About Palin's Daughter

LilSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:18:16 -0700

Late Show host David Letterman took a stab at Sarah Palin earlier this week, but the joke included a sexual reference about her daughter getting "knocked up" by Alex Rodriquez. Palin responded with a statement about the comedian's jabs. It said:

Acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.

Then her husband Todd added, "Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable." Letterman issued an apology saying that his comments had been made about the Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is a teenage mother. While the joke was not in good taste, what do you think of the Palin's response as parents?

Do You Find Levi and Tripp's Picture Adorable or Inappropriate?

Everyone I know has naked pictures of themselves as babies and has taken snapshots of their wee one in the buff. Some people find photos of bare babies offensive and exploitative, while others see them as family treasures.

Sarah Palin's onetime son-in-law-to-be Levi Johnston and son Tripp had a photo shoot with the sometimes racy rag GQ. In one of the shots, the shirtless papa is changing the tiny tot's diaper, leaving him fully exposed. I find the clothed images endearing, and if anything, I could stand the dad putting a shirt on, though it does remind me a bit of the hysterical book Porn for New Moms. Hmmm . . . maybe Bristol is having second thoughts about letting her baby daddy loose. What are your thoughts on the Johnston boy images?

Babe Is Born, Is It OK to Say You Shouldn't Have Had Sex?

Teen mama Bristol Palin is promoting abstinence for the Candie's Foundation. The mom to five-month-old son Tripp spoke out about why girls should wait to have sex on Good Morning America in honor of today being National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. After saying she wished she had waited, she added:

"My son is a blessing. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. He's the love of my life but I do wish that years from now I could have had the same son."

What's your opinion on this statement?

Are Younger Grandmas More Fun?

LilSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 07:00:27 -0800

At 44, Sarah Palin just became a very young grandma with the birth of her daughter, Bristol's son, Tripp on Sunday. Some women can't wait for grandbabies while others prefer to hold off on getting the title. Do you believe age is just a number? Or are young grannies more fun and easy to relate to since there's less of a generation gap?

Do You Talk to Your Kids About Teenage Pregnancy?

LilSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:23 -0700

Audiences fell in love with Juno, pact or no pact, the girls of Gloucester High School made national headlines and Jamie Lynn Spears left her Nickelodeon stage to set up a nursery - it's been a big year for teenage pregnancy. And, perhaps the finale of it all is the recent announcement that Bristol Palin is expecting. Did you, or would you, use any of these instances to initiate a conversation with your kids about sex or teenage pregnancy?Source and Source

Obama Pulls Families Out of Politics

LilSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:00:14 -0700

Perhaps because he's a father and husband or just a moral man, Democratic candidate Barak Obama said that families are off-limits in this presidential race. CNN reported:

"Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president."

His statement was in response to the recent news that Gov. Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five-months pregnant. Obama added that he is a product of teenage pregnancy as his own mother was 18 when she gave birth. When it comes to living very public and political lives, do you think it's fair to ask that candidate's families be taken out of the mix?

Levi Spills the Beans on Sarah Palin's Parenting Style

babysugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:00:21 -0700

Nine months ago, the whole world would have eagerly listened to the utterances of Levi Johnston, the then fiancé of the daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. But like a good boy, he kept his mouth shut. Now almost a year later, the new father has changed his ways. After posing shirtless in GQ, he started gabbing about his child's grandmother. Whether he speaks the truth is questionable, he told Vanity Fair the following:

There wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook-the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.

He also chatted up the rumor that Mrs. Palin asked him to hide Bristol's pregnancy so she could adopt their son. A case of "he said, she said," we'll likely never know what actually. While the former governor is not currently in the political limelight, these accusations may come back to haunt her should she make a bid for the White House in the future.

Do you believe Levi Johnston or think he's just trying to make a buck off of Sarah's fame?
