Bristol Palin, Keith Olbermann Trade Barbs
Bristol Palin is striking back against MSNBC host Keith Olbermann for dubbing her "worst person in the world."
Olbermann gave her the title on his show earlier this week, casting her as a hypocrite for appearing in a public service announcement promoting abstinence and safe sex. Palin was an unmarried teenager when she had her son, Tripp.
He likened her being an abstinence spokeswoman to saying former President George W. Bush "kept us safe, 'cept for that 9-11 thing, which doesn't count."
The 20-year-old "Dancing With the Stars" diva and daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin defended herself on Facebook Thursday. She said calling her a hypocrite is an "old canard." And she said that what Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with "insincere incredulity."
She said she apologized to him for not being "absolutely faultless like he undoubtedly must be."

Oops! I hope Sarah "can't give a speech" Palin or her daughter doesn't read this comment or else they would take swipes at me. Teeheehee
First off, Keith is a shock jock of sorts, who's profession is to get a rise out of those who watch, which in turn creates ratings.
Is Bristol the "Worst person in the world?"
No, she is just a child, who is following in the path of her mother, by taking every advantage of the ridiculously broad coverage her mother receives, and cashing in on it.
She is hardly an example of someone our youth should admire, nor follow in the steps of her.
She's no different than any other teenager, who doesn't take responsibility for her actions, and then after the fact, wants to tell people not to do what she did.
If you look at the history of her home town, where her family lives, and has lived their lives, it's the METH CAPITAL of ALASKA.
Her proud and courageous brother enlisted in the military, and for what reason? It was either go in the military, or go to jail for his drug habit.
The Palin family is not something anybody should want to aspire into. Just the fact the Sarah abandoned her own public office, because she couldn't reap the winfall of all the money that is being thrown at her is enough of a poor example to every American in this country.
Remember, "Children learn what they live". In this case, Bristol is cashing in just like Big Mamma Grizzly.
Mamma Bush was right. "Stay in Alaska"....but as long as people find interest in this woman, her daughter, etc. they will continue to cash in on ignorance.
It truly makes me sick to my stomach when I hear someone say "Oh, I just love her".
Time to see the mental health people, or think for your own for a change, and don't live off sound bytes from Keith, Hannity, Rush, or all the others. Try to think for yourself. Look at FACT, not FICTION.
Sarah is truly FICTION, in the FANTASY ISLE of your library.
Keith Olbermann, the man who violated the ethics of his own company by not following their rules regarding campaign donations, is taking Bristol Palin to task.
Keith Olbermann, the man who is such a complete hater and is actually painful to listen to because of it, is naming Bristol Palin the "worst person in the world" when he himself qualifies for the title on a daily basis.
Keith Olbermann needs to get off the Palin bandwagon. If he hates them so much, and has such complete contempt for them, he should *stop talking about them* and maybe they will go away!
As of right now, all I can think is that either he just has a complete hard on for them all the time, or he needs them to keep himself in the public eye as he tries to still look relevant.
Did he name himself, when he got back on the air, or did his temporary replacement name Olbermann the "worst person in the world" while he was gone?
Because you now, if someone else had done what he did, he wouldn't have hesitated for a second to give that person the title, lol.
Bristol Palin is courageous young woman who is refusing to go into hiding because of the very public Liberal haters who feel threatened by her Mother. She's moving forward and living her life and doing a nice job of it. And, she's taking care of and supporting her child, unlike the unwed, welfare, liberal mothers who prefer to let the taxpayers support theirs.
Olbermann is a liberal loser who's obvious gay infatuation with Obama is starting to become more and more nauseous to most of us.
yes, windy...I made a boo-boo...boo-hoo...
