Bristol Palin Throws A Tea Party For Harper’s Bazaar

For someone who repeatedly complained about unnecessary media exposure during the 2008 presidential campaign, Bristol Palin seems quite happy to be featured (positively) in the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

Highlighted prominently on the magazine’s website, “Bristol Palin’s Solo Act” is about the young mother forging her own path and supporting baby Tripp – whom she refers to as her Gerber baby.

Palin points out that two years ago, she thought: “Great, I’m 17 years old, I’m 40 pounds overweight with a big belly on me, all my friends are at school watching this on the news. This kind of sucks.” In the story, she also emphasizes her financial independence, lack of friends and desire to write a book. Definitely not where she pictured herself at 19.

Styleite has several photos and the behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot, which is tea party-themed. Palin is, indeed, throwing a tea party.

Amid the talk of independence and motherhood, Palin does not forget to mention her own mother. Asked whether Sarah Palin will run for President in 2012, Bristol said, “I don’t know if my mom will run, but she should.” She also didn’t miss a chance to express her criticism on the current government: “I think [Obama] is making more Americans become dependent on government, and he’s acting like government can and should take care of everyone.” But Palin herself has no political ambitions. In her own words: “I know I’ll be a hockey mom.”

Bristol Palin, Harper's Bazaar, Sarah Palin

Im a raging leftist liberal – but the condescending attitude and ludicrous hounding of this family could only be clear “racism” if this family only had the good fortune to have been born black.

the only racism here is by the palins and they deserve anything they get for being republicans

Leave the children out of it!

Why can’t they just pose for national magazine covers, give speeches and interviews, appear on Oprah, write editorials, appear as national spokesman, and whore themselves out to every media outlet in the country WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR PRIVACY!!!!! They’re not public figures says Sarah so leave them alone!

p.s. Donate to SARAHPAC and buy some gold from our sponsors. Thanks sheep.

@ex political-media hack: The linked article says that young Ms. Palin invited Harper’s Bazaar to her son’s birthday party and not only is she a willing participant in the feature, but she even does something similar to “I’m Bristol Palin and I approve this message” in the video intro (which appears to have been filmed in her house)

One of the stupidest posts I’ve ever seen and that’s saying something.

Should appeal to zillions of assorted hicks, woodchucks, ridge-runners, hayshakers, bumpkins, etc. Has all the required societal depth of the Repug standard.

ARGH! PALIN’S MAKE ME SO ANGRY!!! ***BOOOOOM***

Head exploded.

I wonder if the left sees their irrational hatred of all things Palin, their racism (see Nachi), elitism (see Nachi), and their general nastiness as a problem? I guess not.
