I like Sarah Palin. I have from the beginning. She isn’t perfect. No one is.

When Sarah Palin saw the US Weekly cover where Bristol and Levi announce their re-engagement, I am sure that she felt just what any of us would feel. Having your child bring home someone who has proven to be or will prove to be unacceptable is a heartache. Most of us haven’t been publicly maligned by your child’s new intended all over the press. I never heard Sarah say much about Levi except that she was sorry he was doing what he was doing and that it hurt the family. I think she stayed above the fray and tried to protect the family from further damage. Levi will have to face the music. So will Bristol. Remember they are young and stupid.

I have been blessed that, so far, our sons haven’t brought home any girl that we didn’t like. Still, I feel Sarah’s pain. Some other mother might want to get ahold of Levi and really tell him what an ass he is. Plus, my mother’s alarms go off about the possibility that this new relationship is more about avoiding his financial responsibility than missing Bristol.
