Palin's drug connection

[Acecool]

In the news, Bristol Palin's soon to be in law is being charged with six felonies. I find this interesting because of how Sarah conducted her self on the campaign trail. She kept harping about connections between obama and terrorist, tenuous as they were.

Now practically her family members are charged with producing illegal substances. "Not in the real America don' cha know".

Is it meth? Is it meth? That would be delightfully cliche!

I read Oxycontin.

Probably why Rush liked Palin so much. Levi would hang around the campaign, and Rush could smell his mother's stash on him.

Yes.

Sarah Palin's daughter's shotgun-wedding fiance's mother using drugs obviously means that Sarah likes to toke up and take a nice, hard hit of heroin.

You know, as opposed to Obama, who has admitted in a published work to habitually snorting cocaine and being a druggie.

Yeah. OH PALIN IS SO AWFUL!!!1

Tadhg goes for another red-neck drug:

I read Oxycontin.

Ooooo, almost as good!

[Novaya Havoc]

Conversely, I once dated a guy who I later found out did cocaine.

This clearly means that my grandmother is a habitual user of cocaine.

Logic wins.

[Tadhg]

Eh. I just see it as such a non-story. A small-town woman involved with prescription drug abuse.

Obama used cocaine when he was in high school, which was more than 20 years ago. No one suspects him of still being a druggie. Nor has he made any effort to hide his former drug use. There is clearly no comparison here.

It's shocking, the lengths you'll go to in order to defend Sarah Palin.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Yeah , well as much as Sarah Palin is a piss poor VP choice and scares the shit outta me as a potential Presidential candidate , and is a moron of the highest order.....she isn't at fault here. Its not Palin's fault Bristol's future mother-in-law was raised by the Dukes of Hazzard and she's all off doing West Virginia proud by nailing Oxycotin.

I read that people have tried to get statements . And these 2 were massively let down when they heard it wasn't pot or coke....

I loathe Palin. And being from Alaska, I actually know of what I speak.

But it's very rare that the parents of a couple have much of anything in common with each other. "Practically family" is totally inaccurate. It's not even a not-yet thing. Depending on where everyone lives, the bride's family and the groom's family may never ever really get to know each other.

I'm all for slamming the woman on something that has a basis in logic, but this isn't it.

Sarah Palin wouldn't need defending if the argument wasn't out there in bizarro world. Because Sarah Palin is not the topic of debate. Some random woman is.

My uncle's ex-wife (aunt) is also a drug abuser. So this, by your logic, means that my sister is one as well.

In this case, I think it's less who was doing what, more about Palin's constant talking about how her Wasilla small town family values were the "Real America," as opposed to the rest of us. Meanwhile, her daughter's babydaddy's momma is getting busted.


That, or it's just one more thing to make fun of. Your pick.

its not some random woman, its palins grandchilds other grandmother. nobody is implicating palin in any wrongdoing, just pointing out the irony of palins supposedly morally superior campaign and their attempts to blame obama for the actions of people he hardly knows, all the while her knocked up teen daughters inlaws are being charged with felony drug crimes. if you do not see the irony in that, well........

I clearly can see how Sarah Palin is the next drug kingpin.
