Actress blogs that Sarah Palin should focus on campaign, not daughter's pregnancy.
While speaking to the delegates of the Republican National Convention on Monday, vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin announced that her 17-year-old-daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant. The chatter sparked by the news included a few words from someone who knows what it's like to be a teenage girl in the public eye: Lindsay Lohan took to her MySpace blog to weigh in on the issue.
"Well, I think the real problem comes from the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less destructive place," Lohan wrote. "It's distracting from the real issues, the real everyday problems that this country experiences.
She continued, "I am concerned with the fact that Sarah Palin brought the attention to her daughter's pregnancy, rather than all world issues and what she believes she could possibly do to change them — if elected. I get Sarah Palin's views against abortion, but I would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what."
She also talks about the importance of sex education for teenagers. "I think that parents need to recognize how important it is to talk to their children about the things that can result from being sexually active if they aren't protecting themselves (birth control, condoms, etc.)," she wrote.
Tuesday morning (September 2), media outlets began running details from the MySpace page of the father of Bristol's baby, 18-year-old Levi Johnston. (The MySpace page has since been removed.) The Wasilla, Alaska, hockey player's page had listed him as being in a relationship, but under his "children" status, Johnston opted for "I don't want kids."
On Monday, Sarah Palin issued a statement about Bristol's pregnancy saying that she and her husband, Todd, are "proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." The statement noted that Bristol and Johnston will marry, and asked that the media "respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
Does the crack head Lohan bother to find out why they had to release that info?
OMG! Like Lindsey is so kewl! BFF
memo to Ms. Lohan-you’d do much better if you’d keep your mouth and legs closed.
it is a sad day when Lindsay Lohan is smarter than the MSM
This is amazing. We have found someone dumber than Biden. I would not have thought it possible.
Can Lindsay get back to showing off her cooter soon?
Her value as an informed participant in national elections is noted on my part.
No, that’s only for the children of Democrats. It’s open season for Republicans, especially conservatives.
Lindsey Lohan a political analyst ?
I cant wait to hear what Britney Spears has to say. lol
“what she can do to make our country a less destructive place”
I didn’t realize that the above was the role of our government or that the criticism is even a matter of fact as to current policies.
If Lindsay Lohen says so, it MUST be true.
How bad is it for the Democrat Party when first Paris Hilton comes up with a better energy policy and then Lindsay Lohan is criticizing you for your lack of focus on political issues.
STFU Lindsay,You moron.
Sarah didn’t bring the attention to her daughter’s pregnancy, you left wing nut burgers did by starting a rumor about her son Trig.
she is not speaking to us, she is speaking to Obamas’ supporters.
Meandering Acting Career and Substance-Abuse problems aside, a remarkably cogent argument from the tween star.
Lindsey DOESN'T "get it". They are about the sanctity of life. The Left has attacked Sarah because she did not abort her own baby.
The Left attacked Sarah claiming that Bristol was really the mother but disclosing that Bristol is pregnant TOTALLY discredits that moonbat barking point.
Lindsey Lohan doesn't like babies. < /Kanye West impersonation >
Funny thing is: It isn’t Gov. Palin who had been making it an issue.
The media and other associated kooks are the ones trying to make the whole issue sound really important, while everyone else with brains are left having to defend her.
That said, well, at least Lindsay has the right ideal. I mean, she’s calling for people to hit on the real issues, albeit asking the wrong person/people...
Don't forget to include "don't mix ludes and liquor" in this warning...
