VIDEO: Sarah Palin "Shocked" Teen Daughter Was Having Sex
Posted on Nov 16, 2009 @ 02:05PM
Sarah Palin said she was "shocked" to learn her teenage daughter Bristol was sexually active upon learning her daughter, Bristol-- then a 17-year-old high school student -- was pregnant last year.
"That's why I was shocked," the former governor of Alaska told Barbara Walters in an ABC interview that will air in installments this week. "Truthfully, we were devastated."

Her daughter's pregnancy was announced just after Palin became the vice-presidential nominee for the Republican party last year; Bristol gave birth to her to son, Tripp Easton Mitchell, on December 27, 2008.
The baby's father, Playgirl magazine beefcake Levi Johnston, told The Tyra Banks Show last spring that Palin was well aware him and her teen daughter were having sex under her roof.

"I'm pretty sure she probably knew," Johnston said. "Moms are pretty smart."

Dearest Sarah, I understand. It's kind of like our parents. We just do not want to *think* about it.

Wonder how well Sarah was communicating with her daughter before she has sex? One cannot be naive when it comes to your kids. Have you seen how Sarah dressed when she was younger?

ET and the The Insider have latched on to Levi Johnston for RATINGS for their show. We all know Levi is young and STUPID. He is making big bucks because LEVI GOT A 17 YEAR OLD CHILD PREGNANT when Levi was 18.

LEVI HAS LIED SO MUCH. After meeting Kathy Griffin, Levi has increased his soap opera tales about Sarah Palin. Kathy is using Levi for material for her stand up comedy act that trashes Palin as well as others.

Levi Johnston is the perfect example of why a 17 year old CHILD should not sleep with the high school star jock. He has NO BRAIN and is making a fortune trashing the mother of his child and her family.

What a slug of a kid Levi is. With his mother in jail for selling/using drugs, looks as though her acorn put a nail in the Johnston family's rehab.

I bet if the dates were looked up, Sarah was pregnant with her oldest before she was married. Wiki took down the date of her oldest birth for her. Like mama, like daughter. She should have helped prevent her daughter from following the same path.
