2012 / Sex Sarah Palin's (Barely) Legitimate New Grandchild Has an Almost Normal-Sounding Name

Posted by on Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 10:38 AM

Keep talking up abstinence, Palins, because it's working out great for you so far. Wonkette notes:

See how time passes these days, faster than you thought it would, faster than the rules of the space-time continuum suggest they could, because Track Palin and his wife of three months, Britta, have a new baby!

Getting married because you got someone pregnant always works out really well for all parties involved, of course. The kid's name is Kyla Grace, which, considering her dad's name is "Track," could have been way worse.

To save time, Palin children will now be born pregnant.

Isn't Track the one who never did anything to deserve this kind of snark?

As long as he doesn't start touring the country preaching about abstinence, I don't care about this one.

"Because somebody got pregnant" is a perfectly fine reason to get married in my book. It might just be among the best - marriage as a commitment to creating a stable environment to raise a child in.

If Grammaw Palin would just get off her high horse about how everybody else's family runs their lives, I'd have no problem at all with how her family does things.

This guy ain't Bristol. As far as I know, he's never been any kind of pro-abstinence media presence (isn't he the one who was in the army?). By all means, rip into Bristol for her fake concern and hyporcrisy, but I think we can leave this guy and his wife alone. A committed couple accelerating marriage plans due to pregnancy (my best friend and his wife did so for health insurance reasons) does not always end in disaster.

It's a tough call. Sure, other than being a Palin child, he's done nothing, just like his sister before mom was drafted into her 15 minutes of fame. On the other hand, this situation in the context of being a Palin child shows the fallacy of repressed abstinence only education.

levi johnston's sister mercedes told playboy magazine that track was shipped off to the army because of his oxycontin/cocaine sniffin' ways. of course, she MAY not be a legitimate media source, because wouldn't this have been uncovered back in '08?

I agree that Track is an unwitting bystander here. On the other hand, he and his wife are proof that Sarah and Bristol Palin can't even successfully preach abstinence in their own family. Despite this colossal, personal, intimate failure, they and their base continue to insist that abstinence-only sex education as a nationwide policy. His child, therefore, becomes their failure, and a failure they can't even acknowledge.

Abstinence for some; thick, sweet, juicy cocks for others. No one can explain it.

Do we have a betting pool on when Willow will turn up pregnant?

It also could have been worse because her mom's name is "Britta".

Agree with @6. Kyla is not a normal name at all if it's pronounced "Killa". It is, right?

My sister got married while six months pregnant. She and her fiance had been planning to get married for a year and a half. Where's the explicit evidence that Track (*shudder*) got married just because he knocked up his girlfriend?

i take issue with the word "legitimate" in this context, regardless of whose family we're talking about. knock it off. it's 2011.
