Bristol Palin Reveals In New Book: Cindy McCain Offered To Be My Child’s Godmother

Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska governor and current Fox News contributor Sarah Palin, is coming out with a book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, in which she details the various reasons she dislikes various people. First up: Meghan McCain. Wrote Bristol:

Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining. Oh the complaining.

That pot and kettle look kind of cozy together, no?

Bristol also has a healthy dose of ire reserved for McCain’s mother, Cindy McCain who, she shares, offered to be the godmother of her child, a move that rubbed Bristol the wrong way. She adds that the McCains often traveled with lots and lots of Louis Vuitton luggage, various cell phones, and a slew of helpers and assistants.

In her book, Bristol also reveals that, though underage, she had been drunk on wine coolers when she lost her virginity to then-boyfriend Levi Johnston. ” I didn’t know,” she writes, “that girly flavored wine coolers were just as likely to get you drunk as the hard stuff.” She notes that the two remained intimate despite having pledged to stop, and that Johnston cheated on her often throughout their tumultuous relationship. When he learned she was expecting a child, he simply said that it “had better be a [fish]ing boy.”

But the book isn’t all criticism and gossip. On a more positive note, Bristol devotes some page space to chronicling her charitable work:

Palin describes seeing an 8-month-old boy at a cholera treatment center whose mother had recently passed away. The baby’s father was caring for him and six other children. She writes, “I could tell by his emotion and urgency that he was trying to give the baby up for a chance at life.”

“I actually offered to take the baby home,” she continues, “but you obviously can’t just pick up a child and take him out of the country! (It felt wrong to leave him there, though, whatever ‘the system.’)”

Will you be picking up Palin’s book?

I didn’t have a problem with Palin resigning her Governorship. That I understood.

The one thing I didn’t like was that Bristol, Palin’s daughter, made poor decisions, and that this would reflect poorly on Palin. That said, I think the Palin’s have turned what could’ve been a VERY negative and have turned it into a positive.

I think Chelsea Handler said that she had a baby when young but had to abort it. I’m not sure how young she was though. That shocked me with how cavalier she could’ve been with the life of a child.

Good job Bristol. The haters will always hate so just continue doing your best and that’s all that you could hope for!

I’m sure it’s not, but I’m sure that’s how it’ll be presented by the MSM. Lazy or biased, the results are the same…

Alex – do you have an advanced copy of the book and have you read it? I’m curious as to your take on the contents…can you enlighten us, please?

Brave, beautiful Bristol Palin has written a perceptive,revealing, astonishing memoir at great emotional cost to herself. Of course, it will be a best-seller.

Looks like mother/daughter has the same whinning book writing syle….Do these people ever do anything but whine & complain, they wouldn’t even have the life style they have if it wasn’t for McCain, then she bad mouths his wife & daughter….Wonder how Bristol’s little boy will feel about what she is saying about how he was conceived? It shows how little class & dignity this family has……

I totally agree with you. She did the right thing having the child and raising him. To all the haters out there…may your children/grandchildren never be in the position to have to make such a decision. They may need your support and I doubt they would get it.

Thank you for being the first liberal to turn this post into a negative one. You should be so proud.

Does she write about how she laughed all the way to the bank with her so-called charity work? Funny how she lost interest in promoting the abstinence cause once the money from the Organization’s money source dried up, and they couldn’t pay her to do next to nothing anymore.

First of all I’m not a liberal, I’m an Independent. Also I stand by what I said, as far as Bristol’s charity work, it looks like there is no charity unless she gets paid…Hopefully, at some point she will step outside her mothers shadow, and teach her son some good life lessons, and not constantly run down his father….

If not for the VP bid and excitement she generated (much like tea party and see how they are vilified by liberals and the media) you would have have heard of Bristol. She would have continued as a normal kid and either gone to college, gotten a normal job, or both. The VP bid didn’t make them celebrities and convince them to speak out in their own defense, the constant and hateful attacks on their character was at least a large part of it as anything else. A non celebrity might have gone to court in hopes of stopping the constant harrassment and attacks. The Palins can’t get a restraining order against all vile liberals who hate them because they aren’t liberal. All they can do is either hide and live their lives much like an assault victim who’s afraid to leave windows open at night or they can fight back publicly. I applaud their choice and I hope they keep it up. If the attacks on Bristol quiet down (for the most part I don’t hear daily attacks on Carrie Prejean anymore) I expect Bristol will go back to a more quiet life. Otherwise she needs to keep on keeping on…

Yep, pretty lucky. She could have been a liberal. She didn’t abort him, either.

You’re so liberal it’s not even funny.

I couldn’t agree more with you.

Meghan McCain is the complete opposite, and I think the Senator and his wife wasted all their financial and moral resources raising her.

Oh.. would that be the father that posed for PlayGirl or the one who sold out her mother with an exclusive to Vanity Fair?- you can only say nice things about someone if they exist, unfortunately he isn’t making too many decisions that make a child proud. The first lesson she taught her son is that there are alternatives to terminating an unwelcomed pregnancy. How many young girls could face the stress and pressure, finding out their preggers just before their family is launched into the media spotlight?

Criticize all you want, but do you stand on such a moral high ground that you’re any better to judge the decisions of a 20 year old?

Bristol Palin may have done a few things that created difficulties for her parents.

But she has never said anything to embarrass her parents, nor has she ever attacked her parents in print, like so many other children of prominent politicians.

I could point to Al and Tipper Gore’s son Al the Third, who has been a constant embarrassment. I could point to Ron Reagan Jr, who is a constant embarrassment to his mother and the memory of his father. I could point to Meghan McCain who… well, I don’t know what she is, but I’ve never heard anything good about her. I could point to at least one member of every generation of the Kennedy clan, though only one was convicted of murder; another got off on a plea bargain and avoided prison.

Ninety-plus comments on Obama. Holding a baby. Probably half of them are negative.

Being the child of a political personality only protects you from criticism when you are avoiding the spotlight. This particular Palin child has actively sought it. And while the criticism should be grounded on her own successes and failures, it’s not beholden to logic or reason.

If you want to throw dirt in the eyes of your opponent, don’t expect any fair play in return.
DonnaK

Looks like the Palins little army is out in full force, the way she orders them to, for damage control…They never admit any blame, and Bristol must have wanted this publicity for her reality show…I notice they didn’t want her on The Daytime Emmy’s for a skit, but had the Massey brothers….I don’t blame everything on Bristol, look at the way she was brought up, what can you expect from kids, I actually feel kind of sorry for her and her little boy…

The apple sure does not fall far from the tree. They certainly excel at whining and wow are we just so jealous or what? Louis Vitton luggage? Ya can’t make the stuff up. And oh so proud of the “necessary” plastic surgery. What a bunch!

WCinWI… where’s your indignation and sarcasm about conservatives turning this post into a negative one? Or are you saying it’s bad to post negatively about Palin, but perfectly okay to post negatively about McCain?
