Bristol Palin Is Pregnant Again: A Huge Disappointment to My Family

In a blog post Thursday, Sarah Palins daughter Bristol Palin revealed some big news. Five weeks after she announced she had called off her wedding to Sgt. Dakota Meyer at the last minute, Palin informed her readers that she is pregnant with her second child.
Honestly, Ive been trying my hardest to keep my chin up on this one, she wrote. At the end of the day theres nothing I cant do with God by my side, and I know I am fully capable of handling anything that is put in front of me with dignity and grace.
I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you, Palin added. But please respect Tripps and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy.
It has been nearly seven years since Palins first pregnancy, with then-boyfriend Levi Johnston, became national news in the midst of her mothers vice presidential candidacy announcement. She gave birth to Tripp Johnston in December 2008 and ended her engagement with Levi three months later.

Who gives a damn whether her kid is 'legitimate' or not?
What's disgusting is the X-tian hype and hypocrisy on display, and the Palin family's propensity to turn it all to profit.
How about sticking the 'baby mama' label on her like they do on single WOC?
'baby mama'
A term used to define an unmarried young woman (but can be a woman of any age) who has had a child. As mentioned before in another definition, most of the time it is used for when it was simply a sexual relationship, compared to ex-wife or girlfriend. Usually this has a negative connotation, a lot of baby mamas are seen as desperate, gold digging, emotionally starved, shady women who had a baby out of spite or to keep a man. Sometimes they may act like this because of missed child support payments, unfulfilled promises by the father, or convenient sex by the father. Either or both may exist in any situation.

OP
Tis an expression or metaphor widely used to disparage a mentality, not an economic reality.

Second time...FWIW. Had to cater to trailer-dweller sensibilities the first time.

To me this has nothing to do with living in a trailer or being pregnant and unmarried. Instead

THAT is the whole point of the OP--and why she's above the fold on every LW site today.
