Bristol P, on Obama Parenting
While Bristol is running around Alaska screwing every Tom, Dick and Harry, she has found the time to talk about Obama role as a father, and if he is doing a great job or not. "While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads.

Tonight’s result was...
Michele Bachmann a victim of Gerrymandered,

You see, in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama on the national stage, liberal judges have redrawn the lines of my Minnesota Congressional District to try and wipe me off of the political map once and for all. Their bias was so obvious they even gerrymandered my home -- where my wonderful husband Ladybird and I live –-entirely out of my District and placed it into one held by a six-term Democrat...
