Debbie Schlussel: Sarah Palin Revision of Sarah Palin Revisionism: Your Day in Sarah Palin Stupidity Confirmation
Back in the fall, when I wrote about the absolutely ridiculous, stupid names Sarah Palin gave her kids, I got a torrent of e-mail from blind Palin supporters making an incorrect correction.
They were all upset that I wrote that Sarah Palin named baby mama daughter Bristol Palin after Bristol, Connecticut, the city where ESPN is located. They said I was all wrong when I wrote that Palin chose the name because she wanted to be on ESPN. They demanded I correct this. They insisted that Sarah Palin named the baby mama for Bristol Bay and its Alaskan beauty, a more plausible and measurably less ridiculous basis for naming your kid.
And the Palins told this revisionist story, so they'd look less absurd and cartoonish during the campaign (didn't work).
Well, guess what? Your heroine, Sarah Palin (who also supports the bailout bill--so "Alaska can get its fair share," she says; the only thing she opposed are "earmarks") confirms the reason for the choice in stupid names. And it's the stupid reason I originally cited.
Yup, the Palins lied. And now, they're going back to the original story. I'm sure there's even more stupidity like this in the Esquire interview she gave confirming this.
Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin says her daughter's [sic; name] comes from Bristol, Conn., home of the sports network ESPN.Palin tells Esquire magazine that when she was in high school, she wanted to be a sportscaster and was disappointed to learn where ESPN was located.
The Alaska governor says Connecticut was too far away. So instead, she says, she named her daughter Bristol.
Palin says she's still angry with the media over questions about whether her 9-month-old son, Trig, is actually the child of 18-year-old Bristol.
But not too angry that her baby mama daughter isn't married yet, apparently.
Gee, I wonder if she talks about why she tortured her son and named him Van Palin--the son who will never have legal capacity to change it.
Why are Sarah Palin's kids' names important? Well, if she's that much of an idiot in naming her own kids, it translates into other areas. This woman is clueless.
The entire interview is in the Esquire issue which hits the stands on February 16th.
