Sarah Palin becomes grandmother. Bristol gives birth to son named Tripp

Palin's daughter gives birth to son named Tripp

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – 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.

Palin announced on Sept. 1, the first day of the Republican National Convention, that her unwed daughter was pregnant. The campaign issued a statement saying Bristol "and the young man" would get married.

Levi Johnston's mother eventually disclosed that her 18-year-old son was the father. The following week, the young man attended the convention in St. Paul, Minn. when Palin accepted the nomination as John McCain's running mate.

The announcement that Bristol, 17 at the time, was pregnant immediately drew concerns that it could damage Palin's credibility as a religious conservative. It also foreshadowed a troubled campaign for Palin, who drew large crowds at rallies but was criticized for her composure in news interviews and for her experience level.

Sherry Johnston, Levi's mother, said in October that Bristol and her son were considering a summer wedding.

"Hey kid, got some good stuff here that'll give ya a nice trip"

a high-schooler is merely a student...i kind of doubt that Wasilla High recruited Levi from the pool of prospective hockey stars...

maybe if Levi was attending some 'special' school where future (possibly) athletic stars go to 'get schooled'...and there are many around the country specializing in young people with special abilities in nearly every aspect of sports...

it ain't gonna be at Wasilla High

There seems to be a theme here. :hmm:

:puke:

He "tripped" and fell into bed with her. :evilgrin:

How high class. People Magazine is announcing all the information to the press. In other words, the Palins have sold themselves to a magazine for cash. Expect pictures and the full story in Friday's issue. How low can they go? Can you imagine this woman as V-P? She'd probably have her kids running guided tours through the V-P Naval Observatory home- $2 for adults, $1 for children and seniors.

For her pictures? Or were they free?
