You Betcha: Palin Named Girl After ESPN CT Town

About time we get our bi-monthly Sarah Palin fix, with the ASSOCIATED PRESS as the enabler.

Sarah Palin as a sportscaster

(Video after the jump)

The AP has an advance of an interview Palin did with ESQUIRE mag that will be out on Feb. 16. Of course, the only reason any media outlet these days interviews Palin is to attempt to make her look like a complete jackass.

Sarah Palin Bristol Palin Named After ESPN's Bristol

(Chris Berman approves) 

And I’m happy to report that Esquire succeeded in that endeavor.

From the AP:

In an issue of Esquire magazine that hits newsstands Feb. 16, Palin says that when she was in high school, she wanted to be a sportscaster and was disappointed to learn where ESPN was located.

The Alaska governor says Connecticut was too far away. So instead, she says, she named her daughter Bristol.

Bristol of course is the young lady who birthed a baby out of wedlock, setting the Democrat attack machine all atwitter.


Here’s hoping Mom isn’t also a big baseball fan, as the location of MLB Network could mean her next delivery would come out “Secaucus”.

Funny, there’s been no other advances from the interview, guess Palin didn’t mistake Afghanistan for Ecuador on a map this time.

    The Democrat "attack machine" went after Sarah & Bristol just to show how hypocritical the Republicans were with their own constant attacks on unwed mothers.

    Further proof that California is completely and totally out of touch with the rest of the country.  Stay classy Brooks.

    Good thing ESPN isn't located in Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

    If ESPN can hire Rush Lumbaugh for "NFL Gamedy", they can surely find a SportsCenter slot for Sarah.

    What the hell does California have to do with Sarah Palin naming her kid after ESPN's home base? Idiot.

    Rhino:

    Obviously Brooks is based in California. That still has nothing to do with the entire state being "totally out of touch" over Sarah Palin naming her kid Bristol.  Totally out of touch of what?

    If anything, California leads the rest of the country in progressive ways of thinking.

    Dude.  I live in Ohio and I can't stand Palin.  If you ask me she is exactly what's wrong with America.  It ain't just Cali that hates the bitch.

    "Is Palin going to go away any time soon?"

    All I'm going to say to that is that we are going to grow old with her, for better or worse. And how can you not like that big '80s hair?

    Complete phony!!  She named her after Bristol Bay in Alaska.  She is sucking up to sports fans.  Check the other names of her kids, all Alaska towns and places.  Nice try!!

    Though in general I find liberals to be braindead effetes, I have to agree with Jon that she is a bit of a phony. She is incapable of existing on the national political stage. Oh, she's a looker, though. Go beavers!

    Dude. You hate people outside of the D.C. two-step, who aren't millionaires, who have run small businesses, that don't cheat on their taxes  and got rid of corporate cronnyism.
    Yep. She's a bad and hypocritical melanoma of the face of impending Socialism.

    What California doesn't realize or is completely blind to is that it is what's completely wrong with this country. What state in this Republic is in greater financial straits? Answer: Cali.
    What got this country into this mess, is the lack of Congressional and Legislative oversight.
    Let's just keep bailing out and spending. It's worked so far. Let's keep mortgaging our kids future with debt and devaluing the dollar .

    Brooks, you’re about 3 months late with the Sarah Palin humor.  What next, Facts of Life fat jokes?  Way to stay cutting edge, Brooks.Somehow I find the name Bristol Palin more comforting than Barack Hussein Obama.  Did Blair eat Tootie or what? (rim-shot)

    If ESPN was located in Elizabeth, New Jersey, it wouldn't be as funny. But it would be dangerous.

    Bristol is no worse than naming your daughter 'Malia Ann' or 'Sasha'.

    @Governor Palin:

    Naming your spawn after ESPN does not, repeat not, make you look cool… it makes you look like a bigger redneck than you already are.

    It would have been embarrassing had ESPN been located in a city with a guy's name, like Gary, Indiana.
