I apologize in advance for reminding you of the Palin's of Alaska yet one more time, but it appears that Mamma Bear has been outdone by her wayward daughter. That's right, Bristol "The Brawler" Palin has caught herself a trophy man. And a Medal of Honor recipient at that.... I don't know the details of the courtship and subsequent engagement, but I have a feeling that it was choreographed from a helicopter, if you get my drift. Congratulations to the Happy Couple. Mazel Tov!
Since her fateful dalliance with national politics in 2008, there has been very little that Sarah Palin has been involved with that hasn't been schemed, calculated, or contrived in order to derive maximum monetary and celebrity benefit. Bristol, love child in hand, has been an apt pupil. After she jettisoned no-account baby-daddy Levi Johnston, Bristol was not about to let anything get in her way as she pondered all the grifting opportunities that lay before her. There was likely no shortage of earnest young Conservative men wanting to take a spin, but Mamma Bear cautioned Bristol to be a little more choosy this time, and if she played her cards right, she would be "farting through silk" and never have to work a day in her life.
But what better than a genuine American Hero could there possibly be for Bristol and Mama Bear to sink there claws into? "Bristol Pregnancy Watch" has already started and a new reality show is in the making. Maybe a political run for the prospective bridegroom? Inquiring minds want to know.
But somehow I see this as being good for the Palins and just OK for their "mark."
Like my own Mama once or twice tried to tell me, I hope this young man knows what he's getting into, because when you marry the girl, you marry the whole family.
