My takeaways from this e-piss-l:

1. Bristle hasn't been able to find a man to marry her.

2. She is now old enough to hire her own ghostwriter, and is therefore eligible to be disliked and mocked as a shit-wit on her own merits, independent of her shit-wit mother.

Gotta love the "open letter" schtick from someone who wouldn't have the courage or the wherewithal to initiate a conversation with future Governor Davis.

Once again proving that people in glass houses shouldn't get stoned and then write stuff on the internet.

I look forward to the future Reality Shows which will be named in honor of her delightfully quirky kids' names:
