What a Tripp! Sarah Palin is a grandma!
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- The teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose quest for the vice presidency began to go downhill the day she announced the pregnancy, has given birth to a son, a magazine reported Monday.
Bristol Palin, 18, gave birth to Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Sunday, People magazine reported online. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol's grandmother, told the magazine that ''the baby is fine and Bristol is doing well.''
The governor's office said it would not release information because it considers the baby's birth a private family matter.
The father is Levi Johnston, a former hockey player at Alaska's Wasilla High School.

Um, about that wedding....
Well. At least it's heart warming to know that the Palins are firm believers in family values. I'm sure that as soon as the father's mother gets out of jail for dealing narcotics, the Palins will have her over for dinner.— Talking point sleuth
Tripp? I mean, Tripp? Maybe a reference to the other grandmother's habits.- Will, tell the truth, becuase I'm a little suspicious by nature. Did the Palin post go up right after the anti semitic post on purpose? Are you afraid to have the link to Gaza post on the front page? Is this because you are like a jew hater like that Jimmy Carter?— adman
- Honestly, it went up because I heard the news and was overcome by joy.— will
- Hey, adman - what's with the "Jew-hating comments? I've posted comments critical of Israel at Attytood and never been called a Jew-hater - although I have been the recipient of some antisemitic insults because I'm Jewish.— Talking point sleuth
- Anyone and everyone critical of Israel's policies has been called anti-semetic, Jewish or not. Noam Chomsky is a great example, an American jew who even lived in Israel for a time, but is widely disparaged as antisemetic due to his criticism of Israel. Its the ace in the hole, if you will, speak out against Israel and you hate jews. Jimmy carter couldn't speak at the Democratic convention because the Jewish lobby didn't want him there. Why wasn't he welcome? Google "Carter, Anti Semitism" and see how many hits you get...— adman
- ---}}} Anyone and everyone critical of Israel's policies has been called anti-semetic, Jewish or not. ---{{{ Let's see, adman. Like I said, I've posted comments at this site that were critical of Israel, and never been called anti-semitic. I'm going to go out on a limb, here. Do you have any thoughts about who controls the NY Times?— Talking point sleuth
Comment removed.- I don't believe that Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston is Jewish -- but I could be wrong.— will

- Genius, Chelsea got privacy because Billary is on the same team as people like Will The Shill Bunch and the rest of the Democrat-Media Complex. The rules are different for Republican children. They'll report rumors about a Down syndrome baby, but they won't report that 0bama's right hand man Rahm Emmanuel was on the board of Fannie Mae while it self destructed. He gets off scott free because he plays on their team.— fafafooey

- Seriously, can you Republican toadies ever stop whining? I mean just for a couple of days? You can start blaming the vast left-wing media conspiracy for everything you don't like when 2009 starts up. What do you say?— Talking point sleuth
