    No offense to the Sarah Palin fans here, but WTF is Bristol doing? I’ve never (at least not since Reagan) seen such a major politician’s kid constantly seek not only the limelight, but the limelight on such a B-list level (maybe C-list). First she gets back together with the douchebag embarrassing her mom on national TV every other week, then she breaks up with him within a week (making her family look pathetic), now this?

    Evidently Levi isn’t the only one trying to keep Palin from being elected to anything. {sigh}
