Bristol Palin: Life’s A Tripp Episodes 7 & 8 Recap

By Leadfoot_LA

Bella is at her dad’s this week, visiting after our long vacation, so I am flying solo.  This week’s two episodes seemed more painful than usual, but maybe it’s the jetlag.  Here we go…

Valen-Times

Bristol and Gino attend “the fights” (boxing) at the Wasilla Sports Complex.  Bristol says, “Levi cheated on me with that girl” and Gino responds, “Why would you tell me that?” Bristol answers that she was “just thinking it.”  Gino asks her why she is still thinking about Levi.  She says, “I’m not. I’m just thinking about it.”  What?!  My brain hurts already, two minutes in.

In her cut-away interview, Bristol says that there is “absolutely no reason” for Gino to act jealous.  Um, he didn’t act AT ALL jealous.  In fact, he asked her for a kiss.  She is so astonishingly delusional.

Willow and Bristol go to a bookstore to look through cookbooks to decide what to make for the boys for Valentine’s Day.  Willow is mad at Andy for some reason, so she un-invites him.  She says he can only come if he “buys her a bunch of stuff.”  Bristol asks what would warm her heart.  Willow says, “Nothing, I don’t have a heart.”  She says if Andy shows up empty handed, she will “punch him in the face.”

For Valentine’s Day (which he calls “Valentimes Day”), Gino decides to cut down Bristol’s trees at her new house so she can enjoy a clear view of the sunset.  He says that Bristol isn’t materialistic, so he can’t buy her love, instead he just cuts down her trees.  (I would cry if someone cut down my old-growth trees, but maybe that’s just me.)  Bristol appreciates the gift, because nothing says love like deforestation.

Bristol and Willow are in Bristol’s apartment in the turret house, making dinner for the boys.  They start bickering because Willow is doing all the work and Bristol messed up the chocolate covered strawberries.  They call each other “psycho” multiple times.  Bristol keeps telling her she has a bad attitude because she had a fight with Andy (not realizing it is because she is being a total bitch to her!).  Bristol hits Willow with the refrigerator door then says, “you don’t have to be here” and “I’m serious, I do not want you here” and “go, please, I really don’t want you here tonight, you will ruin everything” and “you can leave my house now.”  So Willow leaves. 

Cut to a Bristol voice over:  “When Willow left me hanging with the dinner, I was ticked.  I don’t know how to cook a whole frickin’ chicken.”  OMG, you crazy, evil girl – Willow did NOT leave you hanging – you TOLD her to leave – FOUR TIMES.  

Andy shows up and Bristol lies, “Willow had a meltdown and left me hanging.” Andy is super sad and says he went to the store, bought chocolates, and put notes under each of the little chocolate pieces.  Awww.  Gino comes in and Bristol lies to him too and tells him Willow abandoned her.  Andy leaves the presents for Willow and goes home to spend Valentine’s Day with his mom.  

Andy is constantly either all, "WTF?" or super sad.

Gino, Bristol and Tripp eat the Valentine’s dinner, and Bristol says she is so sad that Willow ruined everything.  Gino tells Bristol she looks pretty and she rolls her eyes.  Tripp says, “I don’t like Gino.”  Bristol tells him that his attitude problem seriously has to change, “or I am going to start calling you Willow.”  He plays with some ugly crystal candlesticks and Bristol says, “Don’t touch those; I’m not going to tell you again.”  Then immediately says, “don’t touch those!”  Bristol, you just told him again.  You are the worst mother ever.

Those first 15 minutes were such a perfect example of the Palin pathology.  Bristol chose to do something (kick Willow out) and the result was that she was affected negatively.  So instead of taking responsibility and accepting the consequences, she completely re-wrote history.  She created a new reality in her head, in which she was the victim.  Then she lied over and over to reinforce this new false reality.

Andy and Gino eat lunch and talk about what happened.  Andy says Willow has such a nice side, but then she has a “light switch” that, when flipped, makes her go "completely evil."  That’s called bi polar disorder, Andy, and it is hereditary.  Poor kid.

Bristol and Willow meet for lunch and Bristol insists that Willow apologize and says that she “has to feel like an idiot.”  Willow says, “Do you know what I’d be ok with? Being those sisters that don’t talk to each other for 10 years.”  HA!  Bristol again says that Willow was just upset because of her bickering with Andy and that she is acting 17.  Willow says not to bring Andy into it, and that she IS 17, and that Bristol is “acting 16, and will act 16 for the rest of (her) life.”  How very insightful.  I agree.  Bristol’s emotional development stopped about the time she was traumatized by giving birth to her first son, which her mother stole from her.

What Willow fails to point out is that 1) Bristol had no right to kick her out of a house that belongs to Todd and Sarah and 2) Bristol KICKED HER OUT.  And here I had Willow pegged as the smarter sister.

These days are long gone.

They all have a bonfire on the lake (is that a good idea?) to burn the tree debris.  Willow dumps snow into Bristol’s boot and Bristol says, “I swear to god, I will hit you with that shovel.”  They re-hash the ENTIRE fight, all over again.  Bristol says, “are you sorry now?”  Willow says she has nothing to be sorry for.  Bristol says, “you ditched me!”  Please just kill me now.

Bristol’s voice over says that her life with Gino is great, but her relationship with Willow is problematic, however she knows it will withstand anything, because they are sisters.  Yah, until Willow decides to cash in and make millions by telling the story of your FIRST pregnancy.  If I were you, Bristol, I’d be much, much nicer to her.

Reindeer Games

Gino and Bristol try to teach Tripp how to drive a snow machine.  Bristol says Todd has won the Iron Dog 4 times, so she really wants Tripp to race in the Iron Pup this year, to carry on the family tradition.  Tripp is having none of it.  He says he doesn’t want to.  Bristol tells Tripp that she is going to give his snow machine to someone else.  He shrugs like “ok.”  HAHA.

Bob Lester, radio host, asks Bristol to participate in the celebrity Running of the Reindeer for charity.  She says that she is “not a celebrity and is terrified of reindeer.”  Um, idiot, in the very first episode of YOUR OWN SHOW, you took Tripp to a reindeer park and were in the pen with all of them encouraging Tripp to touch and feed them.  You never once expressed any fear.  

Andy and Gino take Tripp to a snow machine expo.  Todd is there.  They all try to get Tripp to look at snow machines and he is completely disinterested.  He just wants to jump in the bounce house.

Bristol goes on the Bob and Mark show and they talk her into at least coming to the Running of the Reindeer.  They also ask her about Levi.  She says she doesn’t know anything about him and that she never hears from him anymore.  She says, “I don’t care, I don’t pay attention, I don’t follow him on Twitter.”  Somehow I get the distinct feeling she does all three of those things.  Bob asks Gino if he’d fight Levi in theWasilla boxing matches.  They all laugh about it. 

Andy visits Willow while she is working at a coffee shop (Didn't she quit her job in the first episode?).  She invites him to the running of the Reindeer and says she “hopes (he) gets trampled.”  Then laughs and says she is kidding.  He is the saddest kid with the saddest face ever.  I want to give Andy a hug.

Gino and Andy (who seem to be in charge of watching Tripp A LOT) finally get Tripp to ride his snow machine by himself.  They call Bristol to tell her, and she is very proud of him.

They all go see Todd off on the Iron Dog race, and then sign up Tripp for the Iron Pup.  The official says that he can have a co-rider as long as it is an adult.  So they pick Andy.  WTF?  Andy is 17.  I guess adulthood starts earlier in Wasilla.  We get a close up of Tripp’s eyes and they are as big as saucers.  He is terrified and starts bawling.  Bristol says, “all of a sudden Tripp just changes his moods like that and wants his mommy.”  OMG!  He has been telling you for this ENTIRE EPISODE (which I assume was filmed over the course of several weeks) that he DOES NOT want to do it!  He didn’t just change his mood, you  DON’T listen to him, because you are ALL ABOUT YOU!  Argh!

 

"Drop dead, Diva."

At the Running of the Reindeer, Bristol plays up her supposed fear of reindeer for attention.  She ends up running with them anyway.  During the running scene, Lifetime puts a graphic in the corner of the screen that says “Drop Dead Diva.” Bwahahahahahahahaha.  Now, I realize the graphic is a reminder for one of their other new shows, but it is one comma away from telling Bristol what they want her to do.  And there is NO WAY that was a mistake.  The timing was just too perfect. Lifetime hates Bristol!  Tee hee!

And with that, I am off to do something more fun, like clean the hair out of the drain.

Bristol Palin bad-mouths Levi Johnston in front of their son Tripp - New footage from Bristol's "reality show" on Lifetime shocks viewers and exposes Bristol as a cold-hearted mother - UPDATE: Bristol shoots at Levi's book with a rifle for fun

By Patrick

"I just wish anyone else could have been his dad." 

Bristol Palin on her reality show "Life's a Tripp", in front of her son Tripp

When it comes to the Palin-family, one can always expect to discover a "new low." As far as Sarah Palin is concerned, the "new lows" are impossible to count. The national audience will probably remember best the disastrous and embarrassing Katie Couric interview (in addition to the bizarre fact that Sarah complained ever since how unfairly treated she was in the interview, despite Couric's softball questions), as well as Sarah's infamous "blood libel" statement.

The Alaskan audience, however, will maybe remember the "Troopergate" scandal best, because it rocked Alaskan politics and drastically exposed Sarah Palin's "vindictive streak", as I called it in a post at Palingates from October 2010. The bipartisan "Branchflower Report" (download here) exposed what many voters in Alaska were probably unaware of: That the Palin-family will use any dirty trick in the book to destroy people  who they perceive as enemies, and in the case of "Troopergate", the target was not a stranger, but a former member of the family - State Trooper Mike Wooten, who was married to Sarah Palin's sister Molly McCann. Wooten and McCann have two children together.

In a "normal" family, the fact that a couple has children together would probably be reason enough to aim for an amicable solution after a divorce - at least for the sake of the children. The Palins, however, view things a little bit differently. They went on a crusade in order to destroy Mike Wooten and his career, a crusade which lasted for several years (roughly from 2005 to 2008) - explained for example in a very detailed "Wikipedia" entry.

Back then, I wrote at "Palingates":

So the situation was the following:

1. The divorce between Sarah's sister Molly and Mike Wooten was finalized in January 2006.

2. The investigation against Trooper Wooten was closed in March 2006 after Wooten received a punishment.

So why did Sarah and Todd Palin continue to bother with the case after it was apparently a non-issue?

Well, according to the available, extensive documentation, the answer is obvious: Because they were simply obsessed with Trooper Mike Wooten, and tried everything they could to bring him down.

Even a Superior Court Judge was puzzled about the behaviour of the Palins, as the Washington Post reported in August 2008:

The divorce went to trial in the fall of 2005 while the state police internal investigation was pending. Anchorage Superior Court Judge John Suddock reviewed the complaints filed by Palin and her family. At trial on Oct. 27, 2005, the judge expressed puzzlement about why the family was trying to get Wooten fired, since depriving the trooper of a job would harm his ability to pay family support to Palin's sister.

"It appears for the world that Ms. McCann and her family have decided to take off for the guy's livelihood -- that the bitterness of whatever who did what to whom has overridden good judgment," Suddock said in an audio recording from the trial on TV station KTUU's Web site. "Aesop told us not to slay the goose who lays the golden egg. For whatever reason, people are trying to slay the goose here and it tends to diminish his earning capacity."

In September 2008, "The Daily Beast" reported even more damning remarks by Judge Suddock:

Court records obtained by NEWSWEEK show that during the course of divorce hearings three years ago, Judge John Suddock heard testimony from an official of the Alaska State Troopers' union about how Sarah Palin—then a private citizen—and members of her family, including her father and daughter, lodged up to a dozen complaints against Wooten with the state police. The union official told the judge that he had never before been asked to appear as a divorce-case witness, that the union believed family complaints against Wooten were "not job-related," and that Wooten was being "harassed" by Palin and other family members.

Court documents show that Judge Suddock was disturbed by the alleged attacks by Palin and her family members on Wooten's behavior and character. "Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse," the judge told a settlement hearing in October 2005, according to typed notes of the proceedings. The judge added: "Relatives cannot disparage either. If occurs [sic] the parent needs to set boundaries for their relatives."

(...)

As the divorce case dragged on, the judge's concern about family "disparagement" appeared to deepen. In an order signed Jan. 31, 2006, which granted Palin's sister and Wooten a final divorce decree, Judge Suddock continued to express concern about attacks by Palin's family on Wooten. The judge even threatened to curb Palin's sister's child custody rights if family criticism of Wooten continued.

In monitoring how a joint-custody arrangement worked out, the judge said in his order that he would pay particular attention to problems noted by a "custody investigator," specifically "the disparagement of the father [Wooten] by the mother [Molly Hackett, Sarah Palin's sister] and her family members."

"It is the mother's [Hackett's] responsibility to set boundaries for her relatives and insure [sic] they respect them, and the disparagement by either parent, or their surrogates is emotional child abuse," Judge Suddock wrote. He added that: "If the court finds it is necessary due to disparagement in the Mat-Su Valley [the area north of Anchorage where Palin and her extended family live], for the children's best interests, it [the court] will not hesitate to order custody to the father and a move into Anchorage." Cyr, the union official, said that to his knowledge, no such move was ever ordered.

Note this remark by the Judge Suddock:

"Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse"

That's what can happen if the Palin-family is your enemy - from a post by AK Republican Andrew Halcro, September 2008 ("Why Walt Monegan got fired"):

The beginning of the divorce proceedings set off a chain of bizarre and chilling events that has continued through today. During that time it has resulted in the governor and her family trying to ruin the career of an eight year Alaska State Trooper that has served his state on the SERT Team, Motor Unit and DUI Team.

Beginning in spring of 2005 and for the next ten months, over 25 formal complaints were filed by Palin and Heath family members against Trooper Mike Wooten. From drinking while driving his patrol car to making threats to shooting a moose without a permit.

According to Trooper records, Sarah Palin said that in January and February of 2005, Wooten was drinking while driving. After investigating the complaint, the investigator found that Palin never actually saw what she reported.

In another complaint, Sarah's father said that Wooten made threatening remarks. Again, the investigator found there was no probable way that it could have happened.

In all cases except one, the charges were ruled unfounded after an internal investigation. And the one charge that was valid, Wooten immediately admitted to.

More than 25 complaints! Well, they didn't give up, that's for sure. Sarah Palin "never actually saw what she reported?" What a surprise.

But the "icing of the cake" as far as the custody trial with Mike Wooten is concerned was how the Palins deliberately lied to the judge in order to obtain a "domestic violence restraining order" against Wooten. As if that was not enough, Sarah Palin in September 2008 then even released a statement in which it was mentioned as a fact that Wooten was subject to a "court-imposed Domestic Violence Protective Order." But the truth was that the judge dissolved the order immediately after he discovered that he had been lied to, and even scolded Sarah Palin's sister Molly for keeping Wooten's kids away from him.

Andrew Halcro reported:

In a statement released on September 2 through her attorney Thomas Van Flein, Palin once again shows how her propensity for a misrepresentation of the facts got her into trouble to begin with.

Palin is attempting to get the investigation moved into the executive branch so it is reviewed by the personnel board.

In her statement, Palin writes, "In 2005 and early 2006, State Trooper Mike Wooten was the subject of a court-imposed Domestic Violence Protective Order."

As has been the governor's history with this issue, she offers up another twisted fact.

In 2005, Palin and her sister Molly went to the Palmer Courthouse while Mike Wooten was in Portland with his stepson. They convinced a judge to grant Molly a domestic violence restraining order against Wooten. This was done so Molly could retain full custody of the children.

When Wooten returned from Portland, he realized that there was a order prohibiting him from seeing his kids. Three weeks later, Wooten was granted an appearance in front of the couple's divorce judge.

In front of Judge Suddock, Molly testified that Wooten never hit her or never physically abused her or ever touched the children. She told the judge she was feeling pressure from her family to file the order.

Suddock immediately dissolved the order because there was no proof of any domestic violence and called the order an abuse of the legal system. He then scolded Palin's sister for keeping Wooten's kids away from him.

This appears to be Palin's classic approach to deflecting attention away from situations she has created; blame the other person.

Money quote:

"In front of Judge Suddock, Molly testified that Wooten 

never hit her or never physically abused her or ever touched the children. 

She told the judge she was feeling pressure from her family to file the order."

The Palins were very creative when it came to "inventing" new claims against Wooten, as the "Branchflower Report" noted (page 29):

The mafia-mentality of the Palin-clan was also beautifully exposed in the witness statement by Walt Monegan on pages 23 and 24 of the Branchflower-report, when the illegal "moose kill" was discussed:

So, Wooten's wife Molly was with him, and Sarah Palin's father chuck butchered the moose - but Sarah Palin was persistent about one particular point, according to Monegan:

"I only want Wooten charged."

I mention this "old" Wooten-story because it now appears that the "case of Levi Johnston" is quickly turning into "Wooten II" - and the Palins seem to have learned nothing from the past events (which is is probably not surprising, as it seems that they never received any kind of punishment in return for their malicious quest to destroy Mike Wooten).

In addition, Bristol Palin seems to turn into "Sarah II."

Newly released footage from Bristol Palin's new "reality" show on Lifetime called "Life's a Tripp" suggests that one main goal of this show is to destroy the reputation of Levi Johnston - including scenes where Bristol disparages Levi in the most terrible way right in front of their common son Tripp. Shocking as it is, at least for those people which grew up in "normal" families, it's even more shocking that Bristol and Willow seem to believe that this type of behaviour is not unusual at all. It's more looks like "standard procedure."

Remembering the colourful (or, let's say, rather "dark") history of the Palin-family, this new footage which even shocked the large majority of viewers at "E!Online", can be understood more easily. For the Palins, there are only "friends" or "enemies." The enemies have to be destroyed, no matter what. It's pure mafia-mentality.

CLICK HERE to watch the new shocking footage from Bristol's show (apparently from episode 3):

You can watch the complete first episode of Bristol's trainwreck-show here, and try not to fall asleep during the first five minutes.

As some readers also pointed out in our previous post, "Lifetime" promotes this disgusting kind of child abuse as "entertainment." It's a new low for the Palin-family - as well as for the media, which happily continues to profit from the headlines the Palins create. In the case of "Lifetime", the producers should be punished for letting Bristol abuse her child in that manner. But will it happen? Sometimes it seems that the media has already decided to "believe" Bristol in everything she says and quietly supports her actions, while Levi Johnston is portrayed as the "deadbeat dad."

Maybe this time the Palins went too far. Bristol comes across in this footage as bitter and evil-spirited. Being aware that the Palins are persistent when they want to destroy an enemy, one should know that Bristol will continue to trash Levi in front of Tripp for years to come. The Palin-clan always seemed to be above the law in the past, and it's about time that Levi Johnston gets a top-notch lawyer and shows the Palins that their vindictive nature has no place in the US courts, and that Levi Johnston as the father of Tripp has rights as well.

This bizarre drama has to end. It's heartbreaking to think about what negative effects on Tripp Bristol's despicable behaviour might have.

It's disturbing to see that Bristol Palin is as warped as her mother and father, and that "Lifetime" has no hesitation to broadcast this shocking footage. But it probably will backfire on the Palins, and possibly on "Lifetime" as well. It might even help Levi Johnston in order to reclaim his legal rights.

+++

UPDATE:

Lifetime published more material from the third episode - and the Levi hate-fest continues with full force. The Palins are having fun while they literally shoot Levi's book with a rifle. I somehow feel that Bristol would rather shoot Levi himself...

Bristol apparently wants to make the world believe that her own fairy-tale autobiography is the real deal. Sorry, Bristol, you are just a liar, and you have been busted already.

This is not just the new low for the Palin-family, but possibly also a new low for US "reality TV."

Bristol comes across as a cold, soulless, artificial and bitter person. Just terrifying, these people, all of them, any of them.

 UPDATE 2 (by Patrick):

I was just looking into Bristol's autobiography again, which is called "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far." Just like Sarah Palin's autobiography "Going Rogue", it's virtually unreadable, and I have never read much of it - however, it just struck me that Bristol's book is an even bigger "Levi-hate-fest" than this atrocious "reality show." In the book, Levi is slammed front, middle and center in the most terrible way (and Mercede of course as well), on almost every page. It seems that this is basically the main purpose of the book - to destroy Levi.

Bristol Palin: Definitely not afraid of publicly hating Levi Johnston

So what is it with the Palins? Such a bunch of mentally deeply disturbed people is almost unheard of. In addition to being mentally disturbed, they are also fanatic media whores, which I think makes them so unique. I really do hope that this reality series will backfire on them and will be a turning point.

Reading Bristol's book really is one of the most bizarre experiences ever. She starts to disparage Levi (and later his whole family) from page 2 onwards, I am not kidding!

Page 2: Bristol "never drank" and had also no idea that "girly flavored wine coolers" could make you drunk - but Levi, he of course had "lots of alcohol" in the "back of his truck."

Page 3: "Levi kept replacing my empty bottles from his large stash." Then, "unbeknownst to me", Bristol entered the "dark abyss of drunkenness."

(I am not making these quotes up!)

Page 4; Levi "wasn't even there to help" Bristol to "process" the shocking fact that she had lost her virginity the previous night (after having entered the "dark abyss of drunkenness"....)

Page 5: She calls Levi a "gnat" and says he was "constantly spreading false accusations against our family."

On page 5, she also says: "I wish I'd confessed my sin right then to God, accepted the full forgiveness of a heavenly father who loved me, and never spoken to Levi again."

On page 5, she also says that Levi "cheated on me about as frequently as he sharpened his hockey skates or as frequently as he filled up his old truck."

On page 6, she indirectly compares her own pregnancy with having "lung cancer."

On the same page, she also says: "In God's amazing providence, I played a role in saving a baby's life."

And at this point, 246 more pages, most of them filled with unrestrained hate against Levi and his family are waiting for the reader!

This is the same girl who was raving on Myspace in 2007 about the "fattest shit stash" she had ever seen, said that she "got in lots of trouble", complained that "tracks little bitch ass decited to tell my parents im a stoner", later joked that her mom Sarah Palin "now thinks I am pregnant" (but "ahaha, call me later if you'd like"), while she was heavily flirting with Wasilla-stud Johnny Chandler. Fittingly, her last know message on Myspace read "haha im a slut" (but she is virgin, right?).

These people are mentally ill, I don't know what else to say. The Palins shamelessly try to re-write history in their various "autobiographies", according to the motto: "Prove that we are lying."

The USA can thank the Lord that a strong anti-Palin movement prevented the worst, as far as Sarah Palin and her highly dysfunctional and vindictive family are concerned.

Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tragedy

by Leadfoot_LA and Bella, age 9

Tonight's misadventures in reality TV began like this:

Leadfoot: "Bella, since there's no school tomorrow, you get to stay up late tonight!"

Bella: "Yay! What can we do? Rootbeer floats?"

Leadfoot: "I will make you a rootbeer float, but you have to watch Bristol Palin's show with me and give your opinion for the Internet People."

Bella: "Mooooooommmmmmmmmm! Noooooooo!"

Leadfoot: "But Honey, they are counting on us. This is called taking one for the team."

Bella: "FINE!" (grumble....)

And, we’re off….

The very first line of the theme song gets me going – “”Life will try to break you…”  Here we go with the victim-y “everyone who disagrees with me is a hater” meme.  Ugh.  Why does this crappy reality show even need a theme song?!

Bristol says, “I’m a 21 year old single mom from Wasilla, Alaska” and it is delivered in the most forced, stiff voice you can imagine. I say, “come on, Bristol, you KNOW THIS PART,” and Bella giggles.

She says her life was turned upside down during the campaign when it was revealed she was 17 and pregnant. All of a sudden her personal life was “front page news.”  HA!  What publications were you reading, Bristol?!  (“All of them, Katie.”)  Even thought the “media was trying to tear her down,” her faith, friends and family held her up. Seriously?!  SERIOUSLY?!  Try being on this side, Bristol. We have been trying in vain for FOUR YEARS of our lives – without being paid – to get anyone, ANYONE in the media to give a critical eye to your mom’s B.S. lie about your son Trig being hers.  There are mountains of evidence.  But the media PROTECTED you!

Bristol introduces everyone in the fam-damily and Bella says, “Willow is pretty, but chubbier than before” and snaps me out of my anger.

Sarah has taught Bristol to “work hard, be humble, and take risks – and I have.”  Bwahahahaha.  What?!  What is hard working, humble or risky about selling stories to tabloids, barely dancing on Dancing with the Stars, having a ghost writer pen your autobiography and giving speeches about abstinence while you slut it up (ok, that one actually is kind of risky)?  She says her book became a best seller.  Bella asks if that is true.  I am too annoyed to look it up, so I just say I don’t think so.

Bristol says about a million times that Tripp is her “whole life and means everything” to her.  If that were true, she would let him see the other 50% of his family.  She takes him to a reindeer farm while explaining that a baby isn’t just an accessory on your hip.  “It needs work. It needs attention 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”  Yes, she just called her son “it.”  

Five minutes in and she says “it’s really hard being a single mom.” I notice she is saying this through her old face, so I tell Bella to remember what she looks there and tell me when she notices a change.  Tripp “gives (her) life purpose and direction.”  She says she is moving to L.A. to work for a charity. Except the we know that she didn’t just do this out of the goodness of her heart, or she wouldn’t have filmed it. The ONLY reason she went to work for a charity in L.A., was as the premise of a reality show.  (A premise that was stolen!) So the purpose and direction that Tripp supposedly provided her was, “be a reality TV star?”  Mmmm, ok then.

She wants to “show Tripp what is out there.”  Bristol, that’s called a road trip. Or a 2-week vacation – not picking up your son and moving him away from everything he knows and loves to suit your own vain purposes, idiot!  Piper doesn’t want her to go because she will miss her basketball games. This makes Bristol sad, but she again says that she needs to go show Tripp another part of the world.  Sarah comes in (Bella says “oh GOD!” and rolls her eyes) and in the most cheesy, rehearsed voice tells Bristol that life is supposed to be an adventure, and if she doesn’t like it, home will always be waiting for her. Nice message, but it sounds SO insincere coming from Sarah.  They all agree to pray about it.  Piper says she wants Willow to go and not Bristol. Ha!

Bristol tries to talk Willow into coming with her to watch Tripp while she “works.” (Who wants to bet we never actually see Bristol set foot inside this charity?”)  She again says that “being a single mom is the toughest job.”  Bristol, you dumb ho, you CHOSE to be a single mom!  Levi wanted to marry you, not once, but TWICE, and YOU dumped HIM both times.  So STFU!

They tell Sarah that Willow is going with Bristol to California. Now, I actually have had this conversation with my mom. After college, I told her that I was moving from home in Cleveland to L.A. Had I told her that I was taking my 17-year old sister with me, she would have said, “Over my dead body! Your sister’s job is to finish high school!”  But Sarah being Sarah, she says ok, “So Willow’s mission will be taking care of Tripp while she is there, right?”  WTF?!

Sarah sings (incorrectly) the Beverly Hillbillies theme song to them and they all laugh.

Gino comes in (OH MY GOD – hahahahahahahahaha.  Gino fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.  He is the poor man’s Levi, and that is being generous.)  Bristol asks how much he will miss her and tells him she might find a new guy in L.A. He says he will still be there when she gets back and that he loves her.  I wonder how much she had to pay him to say that on camera.  Bella says, “gross.”

Bristol, Willow and Tripp move into a hideous mansion in Beverly Hills.  Bristol reads a Mother Goose book to Tripp (while he sucks on a pacifier!! For God’s sake, woman, he is 3!  Get rid of the pacifier!) and after reading “Humpty Dumpty” she says, “that one is too long.”  Bella and I look at each other and both bust out laughing.

Bristol and Willow go shopping (um, who is watching Tripp?) and make fun of all the clothes. She says, “People here are a lot more into their image than they are in Alaska. The image thing, to me, doesn’t mean much.”  Yes, folks. She actually said that.  LIAR!

She leaves Willow with Tripp and goes with her friends Jacob and Marissa for a night out on the town.  Bristol rides the bull and the heckling incident ensues.  They do not blur Stephen Hanks’ face.  Now, granted, Hanks was rude.  But Bristol could have ignored him.  She ran over to him and confronted him.  They leave in the “is it because you are a homosexual?” line, but not the “because you look like one” and “is that your wife?” lines.  Hanks tells her he met Levi and that Levi has so much more class than she does. She shouts back, “He hasn’t seen his son in a year!”  Whose fault is that, Bristol?!  You moved out of state!  Twice!  I want to punch her in the vagina.

Bristol starts bawling on the phone to Gino, telling him she wants to go home. That she was attacked and “there were a ton of paparazzi on (her)” – no, honey, that was your own camera crew for this ridiculous show I am losing brain cells watching.  Then she calls Sarah and cries about the “hate that (they) go through.”  Blood libel anyone?  Targets on Gabby Giffords’ district?  Nobody in the U.S. has spread more hate than that family.  

Bristol goes to have lunch with Mark Ballas (without Tripp) and complains about how she has to travel all the time and that Willow teaches Tripp bad things (um, then don’t leave him with her!).

Ok, I was wrong – Bristol actually does go to Help the Children.  They take her to Skid Row.  She says “what is Skid Row?”  For a second I think, "please let someone on bath salts eat her face."  But then I remember that it's full of silicone and Restalyne and Botox and realize that it probably looks unappetizing to even the hungriest drug addict. I have no idea what Bristol does for this charity, because the extent of the scene where she is supposedly working is her being driven in a car down Skid Row.

Willow calls Andy and says she hates L.A. and that Tripp is a brat.  She is wearing a “girls with guns” hat. Keep it classy, Willow. They ask Tripp what he thinks of California, and he says, in the cutest voice you can possibly imagine, “Cay-fo-na is too far way.”  Bella and I look at each other with sad eyes and both say, “awwwwwww.”  Poor Tripp.

Bristol tries to guilt Willow into staying to help her. Willow tells Bristol she is not fun to be around. Bristol tells her everyone will be disappointed in her and think she’s a quitter.  BITCH!  She is your sister not your servant! Bristol says, “you think you are invincible because you are, ridiculous, just ridiculous.”  Bella screws up her face and says, “What?!”  Bristol starts crying because Willow is leaving and “Tripp doesn’t have a father figure.”  What one has to do with the other, I have no idea.  “It’s not normal that he doesn’t have a dad,” she whines.  I yell, “he DOES have a DAD, in ALASKA, where you are REQUIRED BY THE COURT to let that dad visit him!” Bella is checked out and playing with the kitten.

Bristol says that she was Willow’s age when she got pregnant and she “never thought it would happen” to her.  I choose to believe Levi’s story that she wanted to get pregnant and did so on purpose.  It fits much better with the level of emotional maturity she is displaying.  She is obviously a very sad and angry young woman who is too stupid to see how bad she looks.

Willow leaves and Bristol is pissed.  She can’t hire another babysitter because they will sell stories about her to the tabloids.  Bristol – this is HOLLYWOOD.  Don’t you think that celebrities MUCH, MUCH bigger than you deal with that issue every day?  It’s called a non-disclosure agreement.  I’m pretty sure you are familiar with those.  In fact, I’m pretty sure those are what saved your ass from the truth about Trig being revealed.

Bristol says she never expected to be forced to take care of Tripp on her own in L.A., and the show ends.

And now, because I am a REAL single mom, without a nanny or a reality show to pay my bills, I have to go put my own precious daughter to bed. 

Goodnight all.  Try not to have nightmares!

"LA heckler" Stephen Hanks sues Bristol Palin, highlighting a lie by Bristol Palin which Politicalgates revealed in January 2012 - and which the media chose to ignore

By Patrick 

The path of the Palin-family is littered with victims who fall prey to their vindictiveness. This unfortunate fact is not often reported by the media, whose members still love to dwell in the many myths that the Palin-family created about themselves - especially the myth about "hockey mom" Sarah and her "happy" family.

These myths are lies. The media developed their own narrative whenever the Palins appeared in the news. One of these narratives is the assertion that Bristol Palin is a single mom who deserves our pity, and that Levi Johnston in contrast is a deadbeat dad. The Palin-propaganda worked pretty well in this respect, but the truth is far, far more complex. For example, the details we got to know over the years from sources in Alaska about Bristol Palin's "life as a teenager" showed a girl living a dysfunctional life within an even more dysfunctional family. That's not something which you will find in Bristol Palin's autobiography or in mainstream publications. The Palins re-write their own stories, and they do it pretty successfully.

Over the years, we had numerous contacts with people in Alaska who know the Palin-family incredibly well - including people who were actually very, very close to the Palins. These contacts resulted in scoops like this one, which I published at Palingates in July 2010. After I hit the publish button of this post, I was actually quite nervous, because I knew very well how "close to the bone" the information was which I had published there. But later I realized that I shouldn't have worried: The information we published did not "fit in the picture", and I could not present hard proof, so it was a given right from the beginning that our story would be ignored.

But what is even more disturbing, even when confronted with hard proof, the media is now used to turning a blind eye as far as the Palins are concerned. Bristol Palin for example had no hesitation to lie in court during the David Kernell trial about the existence of a landline in their house in Wasilla, in order to make her "suffering" even more dramatic, as I reported at Palingates. Nobody chose to follow up. Another example, well known to our readers, but hardly known to anyone else, due to the fact that the mainstream remained silent: Sarah Palin and her team of enforcers in the Alaska Governor's office had no hesitation to bully and threaten the Anchorage Daily News repeatedly in order to cover up Sarah Palin's faked pregnancy with Trig. As so often, only Andrew Sullivan was interested in reporting this important story, which is extremely well documented.

The mainstream stubbornly defends the pre-conceived ideas which the Palins quite successfully manage to create about themselves. A faked pregnancy, threats, lies, distortions and vicious propaganda do not fit into the picture. Anybody who gets in their way is a target, but that is not newsworthy. After all, Sarah Palin is still a "Republican super star", is she not. The sad stories of Palin-victims like Mike Wooten, Walt Monegan or John Bitney are therefore virtually forgotten.

In January 2012, we published another story, presenting hard facts, which was ignored because it apparently did not fit into the picture: That Bristol Palin blatantly lied when she explained to "In Touch" magazine that the encounter with heckler Stephen Hanks was the reason why she returned to Alaska. We revealed that Bristol Palin bought her new fancy $ 400,000 house in Alaska two months before she met Stephen Hanks in a bar in Los Angeles. But Bristol herself claimed in "In Touch" that only the encounter with Stephen Hanks prompted her to leave Los Angeles - an obvious lie in order to inflict as much damage on Stephen Hanks as possible:

When I published the story, I basically already knew that hardly anyone would be interested in reporting it - despite the fact that we unearthed extensive documentation and published hard proof for all our claims. It just did not fit the picture - again. Could Bristol Palin really be a liar? The media absolutely  refuses to believe this notion. It would also completely destroy their narrative.

Therefore I was very happy to see that Stephen Hanks, another victim of Palin-rage, actually chose to defend himself with a lawsuit (which rarely happens after people have been left behind as "collateral Palin-damage"). Yes, he is a victim, because despite the fact that he started the argument with Bristol and was abusive, he was just an ordinary citizen in a bar who did not deserve to be featured against his will in Bristol's reality show and have his livelihood threatened as a result. But past events prove that the Palins want only one thing when somebody else crosses them: Destruction - with lies and dirty tricks as standard procedure.

I will be forever thankful to Stephen Hanks that he had the courage to point out in the lawsuit the fact which we had exclusively reported in January 2012 - that Bristol's new house in Alaska was bought long before Stephen Hanks met Bristol Palin, and that Bristol's claim that the encounter with Hanks was the reason for her to leave Los Angeles was a typical "dirty trick" in order to inflict as much damage on a person who dared to cross the Palin-family.

From the filed by Stephen Hanks:

Stephen Hanks, who apologized for his behaviour shortly after the incident, is a brave man.

It remains to be seen what the outcome of the lawsuit will be. But one thing is already certain: Bristol Palin has been caught in a nasty lie - and thanks to Stephen Hanks (and no thanks to a previously silent media), the world finally gets to know about it. If you want something done, do it yourself, especially if the media is sleeping deep and fast.
