Oh, Bristol...it's still all about you, isn't it?

Bristol Palin, daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, announced Thursday she is expecting her second child.

She tweeted the news linking to s blog post that acknowledged she was making the announcement earlier than she anticipated, but assured readers, “I know I am fully capable of handling anything that is put in front of me with dignity and grace.”

In a blog post titled "Big News," Palin wrote:

I wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant. ... I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you. But please respect Tripp’s and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy. My little family always has, and always will come first. Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine, because God is merciful."

A link to the blog post was published on Palin's verified Twitter account.

As a parent she couldn't suggest B get on birth control or insist that the sperminator use a condom. Stupid. Looking like the Ozarks in Alaska.

The last one is decking material, but they're running out of cool "tr" names.

Really any word would be fine for the name, as long as it starts with 'tr' and sounds peculiar.

cares about what this young woman is doing. Hell, I can't figure out why anyone, especially Democrats, care about what her mother is doing or saying.
