Look, I have nothing against Bristol and Levi. I actually think that the Palin kids were real victims in this whole faux VP candidacy. So I post this quote today simply to point out the ever present classiness of Mom...

When asked by People Magazine about the rumors of Levi and Bristol both being drop-outs here is Mom's response.

You need to know that both Levi and Bristol are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time," Palin told PEOPLE in a phone message Wednesday. "They are certainly not high school dropouts.

That's right, they are working their butts off to parent. Is that even English? One shudders to imagine the level of discourse if Palin had become VP and perhaps President. Sheesh.

Anyway, I feel sorry for the kids and new little-- Tripp? Hope they can sort themselves out. As they are certainly lacking good role models.
