Bristol and Levi: Making It Work With Counseling?
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(July 14) -- Not only are Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston back together and engaged, but Alaska's most famous young lovers vow to get it right this time. The pair who were thrust into the spotlight when her mom made a run for the U.S. vice presidency tell Us Weekly magazine they will seek marriage counseling and abstain from sex during their engagement. They already have a son, Tripp, and said they hope to tie the knot within six weeks. Seeing Palin, 19, Johnston, 20, and cherubic 18-month-old Tripp dressed up in matching white outfits for a family portrait -- albeit on a magazine cover -- ...
Todd Palin Had Big Role in Sarah's Politics

Sarah Palin's Son Is Not a Republican, and She's Apparently Fine With That
By David Knowles - Politics DailySarah Palin has decided to stay put in the world of politics. Though she'll no longer hold the title and responsibilities of governor of the great state of Alaska, she will remain quite active in the campaigns of other politicians, even Democrats. To hear her tell it, she'll strive to put an end to the partisan bickering that has harmed our union: "I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation. People are so tired of the partisan stuff -- even my own son is not a Republican." Palin's son Track is ...
Palin E-Mails Suggest Tension With McCain Staffers
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIn the wake of Vanity Fair's scathing exposé detailing tensions between Sarah Palin and many former staffers to John McCain during the '08 presidential campaign, CBS News has obtained an e-mail exchange between Palin and high-level McCain advisers reinforcing the perception that the relationship was anything but harmonious. The subject of the e-mails was the then-growing controversy about whether Palin's husband, Todd, had been a member of the Alaska Independence Party, a group that advocated the state's secession from the union. More broadly, the e-mail chain highlights the tension between ...
David Letterman vs. Sarah Palin, Round 2
By David Knowles - Politics DailyYesterday, I wrote about the sudden flare up of a feud between David Letterman and Sarah Palin. In brief, Letterman made a few off-color jokes about the Alaska governor's recent trip to New York City. Palin, and her husband, Todd, took offense and responded in the press and via the web, denouncing Letterman as "pathetic." Well, on last night's show, Letterman did not shy away from the controversy. Here's what he had to say about it: We're interested in whether you find these jokes funny, offensive, both, or neither. Read Melinda Henneberger's take here. David at Paradigms Lost David on ...
Todd Palin Offered Bristol a New Car in Exchange for Dumping Levi Johnston
By David Knowles - Politics DailySometimes it's no fun being a dad. Your kids grow up and make mistakes, and all you can do is sit by and watch. Just ask Todd "First Dude" Palin, the snow mobile racer and husband of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. His daughter Bristol, as you may know by now, recently gave birth to an out-of-wedlock child whose father was one Levi "Sex on Skates" Johnston. The couple, of course, made their debut on the national stage during the last election, when Bristol was still pregnant, and the hand-holding couple seemed destined for a happy life together.

Exclusive - RNC Says All of Palin's Clothes Have Been Donated
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyNote: Cross-posted from Daily Dose, with additional commentary below the fold.I wrote an opinion piece earlier (yesterday) about Sarah Palin, and how the Republicans are trying to trash her. While I was working on it, just for s**s and giggles, I decided to call the RNC to see if they still have Palin's clothes kicking around. (I had a plan all ready for them.) The press office staffer I spoke to told me that all of the clothes had been donated to charity, and that he would see about getting me an official statement. I gave him my info, but they never called me back. I didn't think it was a ...
Sarah Palin Turns 45 Today. What Present Would You Give Her?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAmerica's infatuation with Sarah Palin has reached such a level that a news day just doesn't seem complete unless we have our daily dose of the barracuda-hockey-mom-pit-bull-with-lipstick. In fact, it is said that "Sarah Palin," along with "Brittney Spears," was the most searched term on Google in 2008. The lesson here, as I've often told creative writing students, is that, above all, conflict is what readers crave. And conflict is what Palin continually delivers. Yesterday, for instance, the novel that is Ms. Palin's life gave us two new pot twists. First, as Matt reported, the Alaska Gov. ...
