The thought that all sports fans had upon hearing the name of Palin’s most pregnant daughter has, in fact, been confirmed: “But also, Bristol, Connecticut, is the home of ESPN. And when I was in high school, my desire was to be a sportscaster. ESPN was just kicking off, just getting off the ground, and I thought that’s what I was going to do in life, is be one of the first woman sportscasters. Until I learned that you’d have to move to Bristol, Connecticut. It was far away. So instead, I had a daughter and named her Bristol.” This line of logic also explains why there are so many children of waitresses named “Hollywood.” [Esquire]

Take THAT, Bristol Bay, Alaska. At least she didn’t name her ‘Overtime’.

Colander February 6, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Hmm, this is sort of similar to why my dad suggested I name my first adoptive baby ‘Fag for a Son’.

Dr. Spaceman February 6, 2009 at 3:06 pm

Ok…time to leave her alone and let her fade away.

This news will be upsetting to Rod Blagojevich’s daughter, “Mars”.

I guess it’s a good thing that Bristol was a girl…
cause Olberman’s Ballsack Palin jus’ do’t ring.

Scarab February 6, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Riiiiiight.
I’m guessing she was actually named after NASCAR’s Bristol Motor Speedway.

Palin 2012!
Jesus, I just went and read that whole Esquire thing. It was satire, right?

Big Fat Loser February 6, 2009 at 3:09 pm

olbermann looked creepy back then too.

queeraselvis v 2.0 February 6, 2009 at 3:10 pm

So, the next time she has that “not so fresh” feeling, her next child will be called “Douche.” Obvs.

V572625694 February 6, 2009 at 3:10 pm

Let’s see: if she’d wanted to be a stockbroker, she’d have a baby named “Wallstreet,” like the Snopes family in Faulkner, which hers resembles in so many ways.

Monsieur Grumpe February 6, 2009 at 3:12 pm

A glimpse inside the mind of Sarah Palin. I think the BB in a box car analogy holds here as well.

What’s Tripp named after?

JEEEEEEEZZZZUUUUSSSS. Sarah, you just dig yourself a deeper dumb hole every time you open your mouth.

Then, again, maybe I shouldn’t complain…. dear me, what 2012 might be…. a re-election landslide of historic proportions.

gurukalehuru February 6, 2009 at 3:16 pm

Fair enough then, Governor, now how do you explain Track and Trig?

shanemacgowan February 6, 2009 at 3:16 pm

Is that why Larry Craig named one of his children “Hershey?”

Scarab February 6, 2009 at 3:16 pm

George W Bush was once a MLB Commissioner candidate and Palin wanted to be a sports reporter. Ahhh, to think what might of been.
Oh well, we’d probably just be complaining about ex-President Madden.

“… and boom goes the dynamite.”

Bronkers February 6, 2009 at 3:17 pm

Oh, and that ad in the lefthand column, “Like Palin?”

Only as pathetic comic relief on a drab Friday. Otherwise, when the HELL is Darwinism going to take care of this morooon?

Serolf Divad February 6, 2009 at 3:19 pm

You know she’s going to name her next puppy “Megadeth” just to stay in the media spotlight (and by “puppy” I mean, of course, baby).

SayItWithWookies February 6, 2009 at 3:20 pm

When is she gonna have a kid named “Speaks in Complete Sentences?” Or is she not that ambitious?

Monsieur Grumpe February 6, 2009 at 3:23 pm

I predict a new twist on an old series of jokes will come from Palin interviews and it will go some thing like…

Comedian: Sarah Palin is so dumb…
Audience: How dumb is she?

And now she’s living big time, in the double-wide with a pool.

recharged95 February 6, 2009 at 3:25 pm

From the hoopla of the convention and ‘hotness’, she could have easily been the Maria Bartiromo of ESPN. Instead, she’s now, well, a loser.

Back then Olbermann and her together would be one interesting show. Talk about bizarro land.

Anyway good choice, Bristol is boring and freakin cold 6 months of the year. Only thing it’s got going for that area is being 90min away from ‘the citi’.

wheelie February 6, 2009 at 3:28 pm

You have to let it go. Even hard news sources, credible news sources — the comment about, you can see Russia from Alaska. You can! You can see Russia from Alaska. Something like that — a factual statement that was taken out of context and mocked — what you have to do is let that go.”

Yes you do, you really do have to let that one go, Sarah.

Come here a minute February 6, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Please, just have a baby named Whitehouse and get out of politics!

freakishlystrong February 6, 2009 at 3:37 pm

So, I’m sure Trig wasn’t named after trigonometry, and not knowing, I’m supposing he was named after a gun’s trigger or Roy Rodger’s horse. If she was truly presidential material, she would’ve gone a little higher tone and named him Catalyst.

jagorev February 6, 2009 at 3:39 pm

And this is why Barack’s next baby (you guys heard that Michelle is totes preggers right?) will be named Mecca.

lawrenceofthedesert February 6, 2009 at 3:51 pm

[re=238231]ServiceJervixJuice[/re]: You’re on the right track. She had read about Catherine the Great’s equestrian exploits, which is why the other kid is named “Trig.”

Brendan M. February 6, 2009 at 3:53 pm

[re=238231]ServiceJervixJuice[/re]: Trig is Norwegian for “strength” (or truth or victory or faithful, depending on the source) so that makes sense for at least that baby. The full name is Trig Paxson Van Palin, with the Van Palin part a tribute to Sarah’s favorite band, Van Halen. I don’t know what the Paxson is about. Track is named after Sarah’s love of track and field, Piper is probably from the oil pipelines on which Todd Palin worked, and Willow is maybe Sarah’s favorite movie?

It is nice to see a picture of Keith from his Porn Star days. I think that is how he and Dan Patrick met, right?

I have a question, though. Conservatives are up in arms against some women having six embryos implanted in her and bringing the resulting eight babies to birth when she already has a ton of children to care for, but they are all in favor of a women getting pregnant when she is in her 40s and there is a high chance of birth defects and when she already has a ton of children to take care of and a time consuming job.
