Cha-ching! People magazine is said to be paying the unwed
high school drop-out duo Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston a cool
$300,000 for pics of their new baby boy, Tripp. People beat out Us Weekly, InTouch, and OK! for the snapshots of the little guy.
Congratulations to the proud parents. Though, like
Andrew Sullivan, I have to wonder about the mixed message of selling baby pictures to a supermarket mag while keeping quiet to the likes of
the AP:
The governor's office said it would not release information because it considers the baby's birth a private, family matter.
Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
