Hey let's take a trip in the way back machine shall we?
Remember back around Halloween when the President said this:
"Too often parents have no choice but to put their kids in cheaper daycare, that maybe doesn't have the kinds of programming that makes a big difference in a child's development. And sometime there may just not be any slots, or the best programs may be too far away. And sometimes someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids, which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as a result. And that's not a choice want Americans to make."
And then afterwards the conservatives edited the remarks to make it sound like the President was dissing stay at home moms, and oh did they have themselves a fine little freakout over that.
Well apparently somebody forgot to rouse Bristol from her alcohol induced slumber and she missed the entire thing. Oh the humanity.
But fear not, on Friday Bristol, with the help of the ever punctual Nancy French, penned a much too late, and completely unnecessary response.
It is essentially full of the same kind of stupid as those other conservative responses (Including one from her mother twelve days earlier.) were.
However it also adds this to give it that oh so personal touch:
As a single mom, I have to work. In fact, I drive to Anchorage every day and clock in and out — just to make sure I have a steady income to put bread on the table for my son. However, I don’t think that we should look down on moms who have the option of staying home!
Yeah, no she doesn't. This job, which I assume is the same dermatologist office job that she has been bragging about for the last five years, is not a real job in the sense that she ever even has to show up for work.
How else to explain her ablity to take huge leaves of absence to do DWTS?
Not once..
but twice?
Or have her own reality show?
Or make that appearance on Celebrity Wife Swap?
No this is not the lifestyle of either a stay at home mom OR a working mother.
This is the lifestyle of a person whose family has millions of dollars to spend, and who has personally made over a million dollars herself by trading in on her mother's famous name.
The President was speaking of real workign families who have to scrimp and save in order to meet their monthly payments, and who sometimes have difficulty affording good childcare.
He was NOT speaking about a spoiled little brat, who convinced her boyfriend to impregnate her and then told the world he raped her, who drunkenly picks fights a parties and then claims to have been assaulted, and who flies all over the country appearing on various television shows while claiming to work a 9 to 5 job in an office in Anchorage, Alaska.
This would have been an ignorant post if it had happened two weeks ago, but now it is simply a pathetic cry for attention.
