CNN

The Baby Jesus was born out of wedlock and is He is God in the flesh! Merry Christmas.

[...] not going to try to smear Sarah Palin with this because every family in America is somehow affected by drug abuse and this is just another example [...]

its only news because of what so many others have said; that the republican party likes to act as if they are morally in the right in every situation, but as we can see that isn't the case. Who cares if obama tried drugs: a) I'm sure it was nothing to the extent that this woman got busted for and b) most americans have experimented with drugs. The real victims here are Levi for being caught up in this whole mess and the unborn child. Everyone needs to take a step back and realize what is actually at stake here. The election is over.

Man, did the cops miss a once-in-a-lifetime chance! They screwed the pooch in the PR sense. Imagine the headline, "Trooper Wooten Valiantly Collars Bristol's Future Ma-in(or out?)-Law! Details at 10!"

just like the rest of america, with power, comes greed, so sad.

Come on, when is the witch hunt going to end. You really think this justifies a major headline on the homepage.
The bias trying to make a story out of this is a joke.

I guess his mom is a maverick as well...no?

NOT NEWS. I don't care. Leave these people alone.

Cover the crap going on in Illinois and leave this kid's mother alone. This has nothing to do with politics, and it's disturbing that all of these people are so ignorant and awful as to comment with "hillbilly," "trash," etc. Grow up and get lives outside of making fun of people you don't even know on the internet.

Just another example that McCain didn't do his homework!! He is a great american, I just wish he picked a better running mate.. Palin was a disaster.... Palin=Too many questions... At a time when we needed none.. Pete G

PALIN'S DAUGHTER BRISTOL WAS BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK.
LOOKS LIKE BRISTOL'S BABY WILL BE BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK.
WHY HAVEN'T THEY GOTTEN MARRIED? WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR, OR IS THAT THE CUSTOM IN THAT FAMILY? WHY
WHY NO NEWS ABOUT THE BABY COMING, LIKE WHAT HOSPTIAL WILL THE BABY BE BORN IN. WILL ALL GRANDPARENTS BE AT THE BIRTH?
SARAH PALIN NEEDS TO FORGET HER POLITICAL FUTURE AND CONCENTRATE ON BEING A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER.

Poor unborn kid. One Grandma is a Meth head and the other Grandma is the village idiot. This poor baby will never have a chance.

HEY, MAYBE THAT IS WHATS WRONG

WITH SARAH, WAY TOO MUCH METH.

When the governor was asked to comment on Sherry Johnston's Oxycontin arrest, she said "I did not know that using a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms is illegal."

I JUST LOVE THESE PALIN PEOPLE ?????

THEY HAVE THE MOPRALS OF A SEPERATIST RABBIT

IN HEAT, YET THEY PREACH REPUBLICAN MORALITY

ALL DAY LONG OR ALL CAMPAIGN LONG AS IT WERE.

Gotta love those conservatives! The only reason THIS IS an issue is because Gov. Palin shoved GOP-invented FAMILY VALUES and GOP-invented REAL AMERICANS in everyone's faces.

HYPOCRISY's the game; GOP's the name.....

It's all good breeds in ALASKA.

Palin is palling around with drug dealers. Gotta love those family values of "real America".

"The shoe-throwing incident has made Sarah Palin want to be president even more. Free shoes! You betcha!"

I truly feel bad for what the family is having to go through with all the media coverage. It has to be difficult

LOL. There goes the moral majority. LOL.

Sarah can pronounce Oxycontin correctly because it doesn't end in a g.

SUCH A NOBLE FAMILY ???

The point – regardless of political affiliation – is that Ms. Palin believes she is justified in telling the rest of us how to conduct our lives, while her own family is clearly suffering from a lack of sound guidance. She needs to back off from her personal agenda and pay attention to matters closer to home.

What model parent they must all be.... How she was selling at cost... Was she hooking to purchase the drugs? Perhaps they were using Palin's plane to bring in the drugs?

Wow, you liberals are freakin' crazy. I'm a police officer and can see the distance between Sarah Palin and her Daughter's boyfriend's Mother. Get over it. Don't you remember Geraldine Ferraro's Son? You silly Democrats still supported her. The distance between Ferraro's Son and Palin's Daughter's Boyfriend's Mother seems to be a lot closer to me. Ferraro's Son handed the undercover cop the cocaine for money right from his apartment.

And Sarah Palin had the nerve to say Bristol could be a spokes person for teen pregnancies like it's something new. Bristols had her own drug problems, seems like they keep it all in the family. PWT

Aren't the republicans supposed to outraged about this behavior? Where is the outrage Bill 0 and the rest? What kind of values do these people teach their children? How irresponsible is it to have drugs around your child? What kind of parents are they anyway? The war on Chrismas is also on and raging!!! No, nothing, from the Focus on the Family people? Nothing?

Oh, I forget. The outrage is always only for the speck in the other person's eye.

WE ARE NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE RESPONSES ABOUT THIS SO CALLED BREAKING NEWS. USUALLY AT LEAST A FEW BLOGGERS LOOK BEYOND THE POLITICAL AND SEE WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING TO A PART OUR NATION. THE REAL STORY ARE THE TYPE OF DRUGS INVOLVED. WE SEE ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS THE RESULTS OF ALL ILLEGAL DRUGS. IF IT IS CRYSTAL METH. INVOLVED, THEN OUR NATION IS IN DEEP TROUBLE. TO THINK THAT A VP CANDIDATE WOULD NOT KNOW. BETTER YET, TO CONTINUE TO PUSH A DESTRUCTIVE DRUG LIKE CRYSTAL METH. SPEAK FOR ITSELF WHEN YOUR SON/FUTURE SON-IN-LAW IS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. EVEN MORE BOTHERSOME IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME SARAH AND TODD SPENT ON ONE STATE TROOPER WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON. WE STAND AS NEITHER FOR OR AGAINST NONE OF THESE PEOPLE. OUR DISCUSSION FINDS ITS FOUNDATION IN THE LOSS OF A LOGICAL MORAL DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DEFECTS OF THE MINDSET OF THOSE THAT FELL FOR THAT "REAL AMERICAN REDNECK NATION".

I knew that boy was cool.

Remember two months ago, when McPalin repeatedly threatened to sue the National Enquirer for their stories on her sordid affair, her kid's alcoholism, her kid's drug use, wild parties, Bristol not going to ever marry Levi despite Palin's coercion, the Palin/Heath family civil war., etc.? If you don't remember these, google them. The National Enquirer said, bring on the lawsuits. We have recordings, we have testimony, we have legal depositions, and we even have a few polygraph tests. See you in court. Palin never went to court. Well .... one published story was that Track was hooked on Oxycontin for two years. They interviewed his friends to obtain this information. They said that he enlisted to try to straighten out his life. Now we discover that his supposed soon-to-be relative is busted for distributing Oxycontin.

Sarah said that Sherry is "just someone who happens to live in the same small town as me whose son knocked up my daughter. I don't really know her."

"They aren't married yet? I thought they were fine upstanding teenagers dedicated to their baby? You mean they were just political pawns? SHOCKING!!"

If this kids, having sex and children, are "fine upstanding teens" then Gosh I would hate to see kids who do have real problems!!

To: NoBamaOsama....
I am sure Palin did approach and/or discussed things with this woman regarding the relationship of her daughter and this woman's son.
So, on the same context that Palin used to accuse Obama to "Pall with terrorists" , she is definitely "Palling with drag users/dealers". Don't you agree??

The governor admitted to having tried oxycontin once, but it had absolutely no effect on her. The voices told her so.

let's see now. Is this representative of Alaska policy?
perhaps we can see the wedding highlights in Vogue
I personally can't wait to see what the Pallins wear?
Perhaps virgin white would be nice or perhaps hypocrite
pink. So that's what happens during six months of darkness

All you people making a fuss about this issue whether you agree or disagree with each other, needs to learn how to keep your mouth quiet. For those who are of the far right and are calling every liberal and even Obama a crack head, call 1-800-GET A LIFE. So goes for all of you far lefts as well. This is the very attitude of division that got this country where it is right now. All you people need to learn to come together, and then we might see some results come in to America. DIVIDED WE FAIL, UNITED WE SUCCEED. Read that a couple times over and eventually you will get it.

Do you liberals really want to go there? Have you read "THE ONE'S" book? He admits to being to being a crack head and in a drug induced haze for a good part of his youth and college years. Maybe he can help the war on drugs in his administration by fingering his drug dealer during his college years. Which brings up another question, he says his mother had to live on food stamps,how could he, as a poor college kid, afford to buy drugs, along with his ciggrette smoking habit? How did he earn that much money while going to school? Also, now that he is president, will he do like every other president and release his FULL medical records, not just a piece of paper the resembles a permission slip to participate in athletics. Even VP Biden has released his full medical records. What do you suppose Obama is hiding from the American people this time?

hahaha. I wonder how proud Saint Sarah is of her innocent little daughter's sent from heaven boyfriend now!!!

Pat "I don't see what Levi has to do with his mother's problem. At least HE is doing the right thing (thankfully, SOME children of "problem" parents understand that they are NOT to blame for their "deadbeat" mom/dad)."

PaT and that this boy did is get a girl pregnant. So in your eyes he is doing the right thing. Gosh I used to be a republican then I saw the light. Send bush and his lying cronies to the Hague for Crimes Against Humanity. Over 800,000 innocent dead Iraqis and counting.

Ha ha.....this is stupid. Poor Levi doesn't look like a druggie, though. His mother was probably making meth in their basement.

At least Gov. Palin isn't trying to sell a senate seat!! What do you democrats have to say about that?

As as former resident of Alaska, I've been waiting beyond my patience for the press to break open the news of the drug traffic going on in Wasila and who knows where else in this beleaguered state. This is common knowledge in the 'hood. Why has the fact that a visitor cannot draw a breath of fresh air in Wasila been a press black-out? The police chief Palin fired grows a hefty crop of mary-juana under gro-lights in his blacked-out windowed trailer and nearly evey day shuffles out his market of vegatables in tupperware–cars and trucks lined up.

Where the hell are you?? Of course what's his name's mom has been arrested. I mean, like, is anybody off the payroll really watching?

I have to wonder who's paying you to keep quiet. Maybe you can tell I wasn't born yesterday.

Isn't Bristol due to deliver like Saturday?? So when are they going to get married??

The first 'white trash' family, folks!
Aren't, you stupid Repubs, relieved, that you guys lost?
What would Mccain have to say here?
Repubs are just plain hate mongering, school dropout retards.

You know, I just do not understand liberals. When you point a finger 3 are pointing back. This is a non-story that means nothing. Our president elect did drugs, hung out w/radicals, subversives. He is the one who was elected, so why are you people nitpicking at those who didn't. How can you not see the irrelevance of this?

Do we ever get news anymore? It seems like the media is directly responsible for the destruction of American civilization...any time they can find a wedge to split this country right down the line...they take it...

I voted for McCain/Palin...and they lost...and I'm over it...

I was over it within three days...

And I hope that Barack Obama really does accomplish great change...I hope that he is truly able to unite the warring parties in this country...and I hope that if he does...that he will get the credit...that the democratic party will not try and steal his glory and his place in history for the sake of "more of the same" politics...it seems that his party will present him with his greatest challenges...

Bush is doing everything he can to help ensure Barack success...McCain is trying to help Barack however he can...even Newt Gingrich is trying to stop the petty divisions...

But the extreme left is throwing up their arms over his choice of who says the prayer at the inauguration?

Democrats are crying about how his appointments thus far are not far enough left...!?

I really hope that the democratic party does not implode as a result of their victory this election cycle...for the good of the country...

I'm inspired by Obama...but I fear the ugliness of the democratic party and their allegiance with the mainstream media...it's a recipe for disaster...

Won't the holidays be fabulous at the Palin's and the Johnston's? Gosh, the in-law dynamics are going to be amazing and there will be soooo much to talk about: New prison tats. Visiting hours. Maybe seeing if Sarah will commute a sentence...

I wonder if Sarah and Todd wish they would have taught their daughter about sex and birth control. It might have prevented an unplanned pregnancy and the new family dynamic that ought to be a scream in the Palin household.

Family values at their best!

'Yo BB, Slow down! You are quoting Rush and Sean? Is that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha., ha!!!!! That packs about as much credibility as quoting Gumby and Mr. Bill!! You cannot have two seperate sets of morality codes. And as for Rush, Sean, Ann and the rest of the set of self rightous, fact-making-up egotistical nutjobs...bwaaaaha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!

Sarah Palin FAILED AS A MOTHER to keep her 17-year-old daughter from dating a foul-mouthed bully with a drug-dealing mother. Look at the people Palin let PAL AROUND with her daughter. What a HYPOCRITE!

Pathetic, ignorant loser... just like her son's future mother-in-law!

Thank God that she did'nt make it in the White House. The family would be doing drugs. We have enough problems but drugs in the White House.WOW!!!!!!!! Oh well she is a JOKE!!!!!!

Ima Kidding December 19th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

You liberals are crazy – you say people are bad for getting unwed teenagers pregnant or dealing drugs but you are all for giving poor people health care and talking to Muslims. Rush and Sean are right!!!!
______________________________________________________

Honey, you have some serious issues.

Just more proof that there is no such thing as a "perfect" family. We all are dysfunctional (but, hopefully, loving) in our own, human ways. When you're in politics, however, you have no private life. I feel sorry for the boy.

It's none of our business, but the hypocrisy is our business if Palin is going for public office and using lies about her policies to get there. She was trying to reach some demographic of voters with her stance on "morals", but her life hasn't been that great of an example. Her son got in a lot of trouble with drugs, her daughter's fiance apparently sells drugs, her daughter got pregnant out of wedlock, and Sarah herself was pregnant when she got married, then later she had an affair, and she has misused her power as governor....these are some of the things we know about. All of the above is really not our business unless she makes it our business, which she has.

Palling around with drug dealers....not very vice presidential nor presidential is it now, huh Sarah. Ya see Sarah, when you starting slinging garbage you have to be careful about what is going to come back and hit you right in the face. What's the old saying? What goes around comes around. and it couldn't happen to a more deserving person. What's that I hear? Oh yeah, it's the end of your career in politics. he he he he. gotta love it.

Caroline Kennedy's uncle Ted left a woman to die upside down in a river in a car he was driving, is that Carolines fault- no, Hilary's husband deliberately lied in court as president, is that her fault – no. It's interesting to watch the the self righteous New York left blame Alaska and Palin for this. Grab a brain idiots

This is gossip. Palin's office is right; this isn't a matter needing political comment. Those two were never getting married anyway. That was just a story so the media would move on the next BS controversy – anything to avoid talking about, you know, actual government policies.

Family values in action!

It must be Obama's fault. I bet the democrates hired someone to follow everybody in Wasilla and get a news story. It has to be the liberal press that has went and dug this stuff up. A fine upstanding Governor like Palin has to be squeeky clean. She is after all a "real Amercian" from the rural part of the country.

Levi don't you worry mom Sarah will make it all go away she has friends in high places. And if they want do what she tells them to she will fire them and get some more people who will. Besides that she has the ultimate "Pardon Power."

Hey "NoBamaOsama" Your a complete idiot and should never be allowed outside your village unsupervised. Palin is and has been palling around with drug dealers. Get back to your welfare line? I have your food stamps and you can pick them up when your finsihed smoking meth with the other idiots in Alaska. You betcha!!!

The x-wing is out to destroy Palin's future I know it through the tea leaves.

I feel bad for both Bristol and Levi. Most teenagers don't have their personal lives or their family's shortcomings splashed across the national news. Neither one asked for this attention, and they have been pushed into the limelight only because of the actions of their mothers.

oooo my...how ironic. "Sarah Palin doesn't have a view of America like the rest of us do. I heard she's been pallin around with drug addicts."

ooo how unfortunate.

NoBamaOsama, why don't you go back to bleaching your white hood and robe you racist friggin' idiot. Clinton "didn't" inhale and Dubya was a drunk cokehead back in the day, but I'm sure that's OK by you. Alright because all white? Moron.

People – get a life. Palin's hometown? Marion Barry and several others have been arrested, had their hands slapped and it was no big deal. But to jump on this shows just how desperate you liberal idiots are. Next thing you know you will be trying to prove she got her drugs from Sarah Palin. You lilly livered, spineless do gooders not only lack morals, you lack common sense as well.

Again I say – get a real job, get a life, become part of the solution, not the problem.

interesting...she was selling oxy's (OxyContin). this epidemic has officially reached the whole continental U.S.

It is scary to think this family was even close to the White House.

Palin, Obama, and McCain have all admitted drug use in their day but this lady has no excuse when she has a son who has a baby on the way and looks to her for guidance on parenting.

Thou shalt not distribute drugs....

Sarah Palin should stop praying to God & start praying that her Grandkid will see age 21

that's the the holier than thou concept, well sarah, if mom's got drugs i wonder about my boy

It's probably some type of anexity Rx drug......sad for her and for her son.....

We laugh at this because we love seeing the right wingers froth at the mouth and stutter their answers.

Frankly, I could not care less as it was utterly apparent that Palin was not competent to hold national office. But the right wingers just foamed for a month on how she would carry the banner in 2012.

Maybe not so much now. Believe me, if you think this is the last "oops" on Palin's resume, keep watching. It will look like a soap opera.

And this is the family that the whack job right wing evangelicals thinks is the second coming for the GOP. Certainly probably, you betcha...

Turkey anyone?

And? We knew what kind of people they are, why are we surprised?

Too bad the First Dude spent so much time stalking his ex-brother in-law instead of finding out about the family of the young man that his daughter was engaged to.

Hillbilly trash!

Palin got knocked up as a teen and so did her daughter... wow those christian values are working over time... and not teaching your kids any sex ed really did the job!

Thank god that this woman never got close to the button.

Sleeping easier in Seattle

Geez you libs don't get it. Republicans are saved, so they can do whatever they want - let's talk about the stick in your eye, not the log in mine. Sarah was an unwed mom, as Bristol will be. If you are a white evangelical, that's just a beautiful way to say you are pro life. If you are a minority, or a Democrat, then is it simply evidence of the moral decay of the USA. Sarah hangs out with drug dealers and convicted felons? It's a big tent. Obama knows Blago? See, I told you he was crooked.

Gov. Palin pallin' around with druggies? Let's see, didn't all of you Obama supporters get rather upset when it was suggested that, at the time Presidential candidate, Obama was pallin' around with terrorists and felons and the likes of Ayers, Rezko and Wright? You all said that his relationships were not pallin' around - remember? Well, the article doesn't say that Gov. Palin was sitting on several boards with her future son-in-law's mother, or that she has given that same woman hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to pursue a favorite pastime. Crawl back into your holes all of you two-faced idiots.

Wait until the GOP primaries in 2012, Sarah. You're going to hear all of this over and over and over; just like you did to Obama. Only this time the truth will be involved.

Merry XMAS!

Who taught Bristol how to form good judgment based upon sound moral values, Palin the absentee mother?

I always knew that only in Alaska there are adults that do drugs and have children out of wedlock! Or so you would think by ready some of these comments. You people act like this is the only place this happens. This story has nothing to do with Gov. Palin. I'm sure if all of you haters looked into your closets, your mothers and fathers closets and so on you would all be surprised what you found. Get off your hater high horse. No one on here is free from wrongdoings. As far as Palin paling around with drug dealers at least she isn't an x coke head who more than likely paled around with dope heads, radicals and corrupt people for 20 years and continues too. Gotta love the chicago way of life. Sex, drugs, corruption and murder. Yea, I want to live there.

ok, 1st why are some of you guys so hateful? Express your view point and move on, no need to get all nasty! 2nd it's news because she condemed Obama for knowing someone with a checkered past. She herself has people in her inner circle with their own demons. You can"t talk trash and not expect the favor to be returned.

At least the War on Drugs is working. I know it's very successful here in Los Angeles. Hell, I can't even score conaine without making a phone call.

Umm, big freaking deal? That boy is not responsible for raising his mother. The Palins are not responsible for raising his mother. This is a total non-issue.

Looks like Sarah's chaste morals and Christian Values haven't made much of an impression on Bristol or Levi's family! What goes around comes around.

Oh No! Someone is doing drugs. Legalize it all and take back the power from the prison gurads and the DEA, and the ONDCP.

What better reason to legalize abortion. Poor kid, one grandma is an idiot, and the other is a meth head. Dear God I'm scared what is this world coming too???

I am not a fan of Governor Palin, but attacking her family, especially on her teenage daughter has gone too far. Let he or she who has not had pre-marital sex or done drugs cast the first stone. Otherwise, what moral differences does it make for you to judge others? When celebrities get so much media attention for having a baby out of wedlock, how can you explain to your kids what's right? Come on people, get off your high horses!

For those of you kool-aid drinking granolas that seem to think that this in any way is reflective upon Sarah Palin, you're an absolute moron. She's not palling around with drug dealers but your messiah does, in fact, pal around with black supremisicts and terrorists. Get a life, go back to your tree-hugging and SHUT UP. Gov. Palin is going to be the person that pulls us out of the depression that Obama and the liberals are going to cause.

Palin 2012

Mother had a 8 month baby , daughter had a baby out of wedlock, daughters stud is "sex on Skates" and not marriage mateial, his mom is busted hopping smack. Yikes this is Moral values 101 to 121 pull Viagra off the shelves up there please.

I sensed there was something fishy about the boyfriend when there wasn't a quick marriage. He probably wants out, and who could blame him. These Palin-type hypocrites make me sick. They think they can do anything they please, no matter how outrageous, and the rest of us should just smile and say how wonderful they are. The poor children are innocent. The actions of Ms. Palin, acting like a sex kitten, have to cause problems for the poor kids. If Jesus were here today, I don't think he'd condone Palin's conduct.

Let's see how Sarah "winks" herself out of this one.

This aint been a good year for her...first she is the cheerleader for McShame, gets fancy clothes, loses the election, loses the fancy clothes, gets back to ALASKA where her in law bro the trooper, still has his job then... her church burns down, and now this......what's next folks?

WOW this WASILLA, ALASKA is some kind of little town... The babies are out having babies while the parents are smoking crack and meth at home .... CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GROUP CAME THAT CLOSE TO BEING IN THE WHITE HOUSE .... Oh my goodness ......... Everything happens for a reason ... Thankfully the good lord was watching out for us, this group needs to attend a few more Sundays at church and less time having unprotected out of wedlock sex and doing drugs ...

(Heard at Thanksgiving Day)

"Now Sarah, stop carving that turkey and come into the living room and snort a few lines on the coffee table with your baby's Momma in Law and friends.

...did I hear someone say Trailer Trash?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

It seems that CNN wanted to make a point that like the Ayer's situation that the Republicans quickly jumped on the Democrat's would jump all over this as well, which appears to be all too true.

I don't like Palin one bit myself, but this obviously shows that the war on drugs does not work. Even the mother of a soon to be son in law of a public figure has turned to dealing drugs. Even most elected officials have partaken in the use of drugs and most of them still do (tobacco and alcohol may be legal, but they are still drugs and addictive). What is that makes it possible to outlaw one drug, but say another is perfectly fine to distribute to people of a certain age? Was any research done saying that at this age the health effects are not so bad or that at this particular age the user will be responsible enough to use the habit in a harmless manner? Where are those half baked numbers?

Until our gov't and the rest of the brain washed liberals and conservatives realize how disgustingly hypocritical they have become of drugs they have never tried, nor researched for themselves, I will be saving my hard earned American money to go to places like Canada, Amsterdam, and British Columbia to enjoy the one life I have to live. I hope the rest of you enjoy you're war on drugs, war on terrorism, and war on gay marriage while I sit back in some small coffee shop enjoying a 'J' and not giving a...dime about how messed up ideology is around the entire the world.

I hear Jerry Springer's producer is looking at the Palin Bunch for new show ideas.

Boy am I glad we dodged that bullet!

Title: "Drug arrest in Palin's hometown". What in the world are the liberal jerks thinking? A drug arrest? that is funny! What about all the millions of drug arrests and MURDERS in Obama's hometowns? We're talking Kenya, Indonesia and Chicago What a joke. Why don't the liberals clean up their backyard before digging into others?

Palin knew a drug dealer. Obama was a drug user. Maybe the kids mom and Obama can get together!

I guess snarky comments about Obama are not allowed, eh moderators!

ADN.com reports it was oxycontin. And I'm sure it was medicinal oxycontin.

You have to love these folks. I mean the same church that the demons were put into or taken out of Sarah, burns! Sarah is so conceited she thinks it is about her. Isn't everything about that narcissistic moron? Then, we all know this so called baby daddy was in the pics with Jack Daniels along with the illustrious governors daughter that they draped her belly when she hit the scene as VP pick.

With all the drama in the Palin household, can I ask why would her daughter be involved with anyone other than people like this? Birds of a feather............end up on television on Thanksgiving.

What a wedding reception this ought to be.

But all in all, GOVERNOR PALIN IS 'PALIN' AROUND' WITH DRUG DEALERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, another excuse to start trashing Palin. Your all a bunch of dangerous mindless idiots!

Thank God Palin lost. They would be making Meth in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Let's remember this people are human they are no diffrent than any of
us out here in the world. Face it his to be mother-in-law didn't make it any way so what da. lol

From what I understand, you can throw a rock in just about every town in Alaska and hit a meth lab...

All I have to say is its a joke, Palin's daughter and Levi never planned on getting married. It was just for he media. She is just a hokie from Alaska.

Does anyone really think these 2 are going to get married now?

Ya'll come up here.. Invitation is open from the Wasilla Hillbillies.

Heh,
All these funny comments against Palin while seeing the real DEMOCRAT culture of corruption. Nice!

Further, i read some of those comments posted here and on the past story about the arson at the church...some remarks about how it was deserved. Know that there were was a childrens event going on when the arsonist stroke. Children could have been burned alive all b/c somebody doesnt like Palin's politics. Some people on here, some 'liberals' believe that republicans are so bad that they don't deserve to live....funny b/c it's thoughts like that, that made me give up the GOP. Sadly it seems the Democratic party is just as evil as the Republicans. Radicalism has overthrown reason in both houses.

how long til the palin machine says this was a revenge tactic by the state troopers? welcome to the spotlight alaskans.

This is only the beginning of baby Mama drama. There is not, nor was there ever a plan for Palin's daughter to marry this redneck. The next few years will involve visitation and support issues involving this poor child. The good thing is that it won't be happening in the Whitehouse. Funny....isn't baby mamma dramas supposed to be minority issues?

You people actually believe these two are getting married? You people are dumber than you sound. This was all a cover up because it was brought out in the news that she was pregnant. Levi will be definately stepping away from that cookie family. Who would want Sarah Palin as a mother in-law. Now that would scare the beegeeez out of me.

Amazing how no one bothers to report about Obama and his video tape that a news agency in LA has but won't air, of him in a limo smoking crack....guess that isn't news since he is our beloved PRESIDENT – ELECT! maybe he can hold another press conference on that....or how he's tied to such sleezy people, but lets let him run our COUNTRY. So this kids mom isn't such a good example of motherhood, the point is it's his mom, it's not him. People just want to make something out of it because it involves Gov. Palin. If it was someone related to Obama we wouldn't be posting all over the net with it (i.e. his aunt?? sister??). Sad that society has brought us to this.

When I saw the headline I said to myself "Who???". Then I read the posting and thought "Why does this kid's mother's behavior matter a lick to us?" I heard the Saudis want to build nuclear power plants. Now THAT's a story I would like to read about. CNN, my beloved, you have reduced yourself to Political PEOPLE magazine or worse yet, Political ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT...

What a relief this people did not endup having to do anything with the White House. Can you imagine what will be for this country to deal with all that personal mess and problems of Palin's Family acquaintances.

Hey, I don't care for Palin at all but this is too much...

I mean, the teenage guy's mom? How is this national news?

MSNBC is reporting its an arrest concerning Oxycontin. She's probably looking at a lot of time, they are getting increasingly hard on Oxy dealers.

Here is the war on drugs in a nutshell:

"There's no way to rule innocent men.
The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime
that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged

I'm gonna love it when Sarah becomes President in 2013 after the Obama administration implodes. You left wing nutcases will have exploding head syndrome. It will be fun to watch!

Nice Family to be part of the First Lady of the state and the First Dude.!

When one breaks the law, one certainly should be prosecuted, and pay the penalty, if found guilty.

I wonder however, about a higher law, - that being one of ethics and responsible reporting. While I realize that once one is arrested, that action allows the media to provide the information to the public, I have to wonder however if those who wrote and approved this bit of trash reporting can sleep at night.

While I completely support your rights, I wonder why nothing was reported about any other person who committed similar crimes throughout the United States that same day by CNN.

Another even more important question might be asked of you as to why CNN decided to not ask for clarification and amplification about of statements made the day following Mr. Obama's election; in which he and some of his supporters both indicated that he might not be able to keep his campaign promises.

What does bias in reporting have to do with each action? Plenty!!

It is amazing to me how many people on here are throwing stones at the Palin family, or anyone connected to them. I would almost bet that if any of you were thrust into the national spotlight, you would not want people calling you some of the names that you are calling this family. I would also bet that most of you have the same problems that they are having and the only difference is that theirs are made public.

To pam Eugene OR: I have not heard these two young adults say anything about how they are better than you. Apparently, you are just hostile to Christianity in general and you are using them as a scapegoat to vent. How sad.

WHAT DID WE EXPECT?!

Look the reason that the drug dealing of Bristol Palin's future mother-in-law is legitimate news is this:
(1) that future mother-in-law will be co-granny with Sarah;
(2) and if Obama's past social contacts with Professor Ayers was a legitimate topic of the McCain campaign and makes Obama a terrorist, as Sarah Palin claimed, then Sarah and all the other Palins need to be busted for drugs if they've ever had a conversation with the other caught red-handed granny-to-be!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton's brother took money from convicted drug dealers and promised to get them a pardon.
Jimmy Carter's brother actually registered himself as a foreign agent of the Libyan gov. and was paid a quarter million dollars by a government that bombed American soldiers and blow up airplanes.
John Adam's son gambled and drank away his investors money.
The list goes on and on of politicians who have direct relatives that commit unthinkable act. This story is about a future in law and you people are calling for Palins head. When Pres. Obama speaks about change he's talking about all of ya'll. YOU ARE WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA. The same flaws the Pres. Bush suffers from are also found on this page....ITS THE HATE THAT YOU HOLD. You people hate Palin b/c she's different. She a hunter, a christian, a beauty pageant winner, a small town mayor, a small state governor, she's not very intelligent when it comes to international politics or legal matter...well most of you didn't know Georgia was a country 6 months ago, and 20% of all American don't know that the Republican lost control of congress 2 years ago. To hate someone b/c there different is bigotry...WHEN WILL YA'LL REALIZE YOU HAVE BECOME WHAT IT IS YOU HATE?

Inlaws and outlaws. I hear dueling banjos.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA........
I love it!!! Sarah Palin and that family of hers all need to be on Jerry Springer. What a bunch of disfuntional hill billies. And the republicans and Jeus freaks wanted Sarah to be president.....HA HA HA
See republicans, this is why America rejected you...we wanted intelligent and worldly people running our country. Not a Wal mart Yee Haw Ho, who hunts and thinks the earth is 6000 years old. HA HA HA HA

OBAMA ROCKS

Let's see, you think Sarah Palin not supporting gay marriage, unwed parenthood and other conservative issues is hate-mongering? What exactly is enjoying and reveling in the misfortune of others?

What a small town value? Paling palling with drug pushers now. What is the next step, AIP takes over?

Mike in NYC writes of "your typical liberal, who dearly wants everyone to think like him/her and has no problem using the club of the State to accomplish that."

Interestingly, 80-odd years ago H.L. Mecken aptly described the kind of people we now call "conservative christians" as those who want others to think like them. He also coined a much better name for such folks: the "booboisie."

What did Levi know and when did he know it?

It was rumored during the election that Palin's son HAD to join the military and go to Iraq as a deal with a judge in order to avoid jail time for some drug-related matter.

Do you think they will offer Mrs. Johnston the same deal?

to pat: isn't it interesting the engagement happened after Palin became the VP nominee? If we (the rest of the country outside Wasilla) didn't know about her, the daughter would not be "engaged to be married."

Repubs, karma is a beyotch!!!!!

You tried to crucify BO over Bill Ayers....remember 'pallin around with terrorists'?

Well, I guess we now see that your lovely SP is palling around with big time meth dealers.

Although it does not say, the only drug that you can make in your home is meth...and isn't Wasilla the Meth Capital of the US?

as i said earlier....karma is a beyotch. I hope you repubs can take it as good as you give it.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imakidding.... "Talking to Muslims?" What you won't talk to anyone that doesn't believe as you do? I know some very nice people who are Muslim and so very nasty ones who claim to be Christians. Kinda like Hannity...

It's news if people want to read it.

It would dang sure be news if a black V.P. candidate had an 18-y.o. knocked up daughter whose baby-daddy-momma was manufacturing drugs.

Gotta love those Republican family values; and their holier- than-thou attitudes about how the liberal Democrats have no morals. Does dear Sarah still think that real Americans are only to be found in her neck of the (back) woods?

Hey Mike in NYC, you've got to be kidding. "Conservative Christians" love to get in everyone's face because "their" way of living is the only correct way. Their way of thinking is the only 'right' way. If you think for yourself then your on their enemy list. You must be against abortion, gays, gay marriage or anything to do with gays. You better accept Jesus as your saviour. You better accept the infallibility of the Bible. etc. I'd much rather deal with Liberals than Conservative Christians.

You republicans are great...last summer you get your undies in a bunch over this babe with her hair in a beehive and think she's the next coming of Ronald Rayguns...then all you white-trashees go to her rallies and get all worked up, calling Obama a terrorisr and yelling to kiil him. Meanwhile, you don't bother reading (maybe you can't read too well) this woman's background and crooked policies because you want so desperately to believe in her. You don't mind that she claimed that she was for all these "moral" things that she and her family did not practice...you don't know what hypocricy means (those 4 syllable words are tough to figure out)...she forces her knocked up daughter to marry this dropout bozo, and you got the cajones to bring this fool to the convention and parade him around like we should all be proud that she is forcing her daughter to marry him. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried...I suggest you smart republicans defend her for the next 4 years and then have her become your presidential candidate in 2012. That will guarantee Obama winning in a landslide. Man, has your party fallen apart. Thanks for self-destructiing!!

and their kid will be the future of Alaska

Was the witchdoctor cooking the crack in the church when it burned down?

It's sad really...that with our country being in the state it is in, crap such as this takes priority. The election is over and the mainstream media is still trying to find any small morsel that might smear Governor palin. Are we really going to have to put up with this BS for the next 4 years?: Can't you guys just leave it be and report on IMPORTANT issues? Good grief.

I hope Bristol Palin wasn't doing drugs while pregnant.

Now, mom is involved in dealing with a controled substance AT HOME!!!!!
What are the chances that redneck boy is not involved or using the same drug??????

More tolerance from the left I see. PE Obama has buddies that sale senate seats, blow up the parts of the Pentagon and preach hate and Mrs.Palin' daughters, boyfriends mother has a problem and they attack. They already tried to burn down her church....I guess she's lucky the "tolerant" left didn't physically attack her.

snort snort puff puff, Oh what a relief it is...hoping 2012 will not be littered with the likes of these people. Snow machine trash. And please take Megan Stapleton with you....

Mike in NYC:

Conservative Christians have much less of a desire to interfere in people's lives than your typical liberal, who dearly wants everyone to think like him/her and has no problem using the club of the State to accomplish that.

Really? And who is standing in the way of gay rights in this country? Who spies on ordinary citizens? Who holds citizens of this country without cause, and uses illegal torture methods? Who has been responsible for killing thousands of American troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians? That would be your conservative Pres. and conservative leaders.
I wield no club, in fact, do not believe in violence of any kind. I pray only that we follow the Constitution, ensure freedom and rights for all our people, and follow the Golden Rule. Seems to me that any conservative might believe the same if they were not so busy waging war on anyone thinking differently than they.

WHITE.......TRASH.

Who DID NOT see this coming?

Palin was and is the candidate of the WHITE TRASH of America, who thankfully are a small minority.

I'll bet Caylee's Mom is a Palin fan.

Who the heck names their kid "Caylee: anyway?

Hey CNN what
about the economy stupid?

Of course CNN would never bother to report that Palin REFUSED A PAY RAISE, cut her states budget by over 7%
all while Congress, Pelosi, Franks and the rest didn't bat an eye as they accepted their raises and ran

I wish we had more "train wrecks" like Palin maybe we'd actually get something done in government
Maybe some of the Govs of some of those states going bankrupt should take a page out of the Palin book of how to run a state

The MSM never does their job anymore what a shame....

“Our office won’t have any comment,” Palin’s spokesman Bill McAllister said Friday. “This is not a state government matter.”

Oh, this is not a "state" government matter. So, she can get involved with the "state" trooper former brother-in-law but no comment on her daughter's baby daddy's mother's arrest.

Wow, Governor Palin's daughter is "palling" around with druggies. Interesting.

I'm guessing about now Rush and Hannity are trying to tie Obama some way in this.

"Palin is palling around with drug dealers. Gotta love those family values of "real America"."
Like Obama the crack head? It isn't even Palin you moron, get back to your welfare line!******YOU Crawl back under that Rock ...and the H_LL with YOU Palin and the entire BETCHA BUNCH

Someone in Gov. Palin's home town, who is connected to the governor through their children, gets into trouble with the law.

Just wondering, did you pay this much attention to the fraud suits filed against VP-elect Biden's brother and son? Or did you just ignore that, since Biden is a Democrat.

I know, silly question. You libs would never pay attention to something like that. If it doesn't let you feed on your soulless hate for Republicans, you're not interested.

CNN – the least trusted name in news.

First of all, I don't know why this story deserves to be on CNN. However, I can't help but laugh at Palin's hypocrisy in talking about the "real America". The state of Alaska is well-known for its crime and corruption. I know this because all of my relatives up there are convicted murderers, drug addicts, or the boss of a mafia-like union. Now it turns out that someone in Palin's hometown with a relation to Palin is arrested for drugs.

And by the way, Ima Kidding, WHAT THE #@&% ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? There's nothing wrong with giving poor people health care, and talking to Muslims isn't wrong because NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS! And I'm telling you, the side effects of listening to Limbaugh and Hannity include bigotry and brain damage. Obviously those side effects have already started with you.

CNN, leave the Johnston family alone. This is a private family matter. I did not vote for McCain/Palin, but articles such as these should not be used to stir up people's disdain and hatred towards Gov. Palin and her extended family.

I don't understand what's wrong with talking to muslims? Are we talking about Palin's daughter's mother-in-law or about muslims? As for muslims, there are a lot of nice people among them, very highly-educated and civilized. Don't judge them just because of a bunch of terrorists. My friend is coming from the country where islam is an official religion, but there is no islamic regime, government took european way of development . Young people of that country are impressively educated, they learn foreign languages, participate in educational programs which gives them opportunity to get an education Master's in Europe, USA. They don't have teen pregnancy and drugs issues the way we have in USA. They don't hate foreigners, they are very hospitable and friendly. The country is beautiful. I think americans lack interaction with the world, they don't learn or they just don't want to learn anything about other countries.

this is not not worthy of cnn news. Obama will give us plenty

Pat,
Just how is Levi "doing the right thing?" He's dropped out of high school, there is no wedding date, and he becomes a father tomorrow. That may be par for the course in Alaska, but where I come from, that is a recipe for disaster. Who will raise this child? Where will he/she live? In the $500,000 Palin homestead? Will Alaskans be footing the bill for a nurse/nanny? Thank God it won't be the VP's mansion in DC at least.
These kids need to have at least a high school diploma, don't you think? A college degree and some life experience might be nice as well before they become parents. Oh, and a wedding? I know times have changed, but this is sad. And obviously, the grandma will be no help from her prison cell.

Can't you just envision the Johnstons and the Palins on a future Jerry Springer episode?

To maggie from va your an idiot for making such comments like that.
For the rest of the liberals get over it the election is over , why do you worry so much about Gov Palin ???? is she your idol ???

Having read the prior post, it's amusing to see that President Obama has a lot of work to do!

It's also interesting, 'We Americans' haven't learned that "WHAT GOES AROUND-COMES AROUND"

I heard a long time ago (when Palin first came on the National radar) that Wasilla was the meth capital of Alaska. I thought they were just joking.... guess not?

The gift that keeps on giving..

Enough already. Palin didn't sell it, so leave it alone. Let's not make anything remotely related to Palin relevant.

Headline from cnn.com homepage: "Drug arrest in Palin's hometown"

Uhhh, hello. Wasilla is known as the "meth capital of the world". It shouldn't be a surprise that there was a drug related arrest in that town.

One minor error in this news story. Sarah Palin did NOT announce that her daughter would be having a baby out of wedlock, but that Bristol Palin was pregnant and that she and Levi would be getting married.

Sarah lied again.

Model citizens...nuff said.

I am not a fan of Gov Palin but this is just plan stupid. How does anyone know that she "pals around with this person". Do you really know all your kids parents that well?? I know some do but I have been to a friends house where parents drop their kids off for a sleep over and don't even bother to introduce themselves. I'm sure Gov. Palin knows this mother but we don't know that she pals around with her. One thing I can say is that as far as I have seen she is a good mother and has tried to do her best by her kids while holding down a full time job like most parents in this country and no matter how hard you try things will happen. I'm just suprised this actually made it to CNN. It must be a slow news day. There are plenty of things you can slam the Gov. about but this is not one of them. She did not get busted.

Way to go America, you dodged a bullet. Could you imagine four years of Alaskan "family values".
It's Meth, by the way.

SARAH PALIN PALS AROUND WITH DRUG PUSHERS!

You got a problem with that?!?!

It must be true when you base it on Sarah's own definition of truth. Based on Sarah's perspective, President-Elect Obama superficially crossed paths with Bill Ayers, which means Obama is BFF (best friends forever) with terrorists and needs to come clean with explanations. That’s Sarah’s beliefs per her own campaign statements. Now using Sarah Palin's logic regarding Bill Ayers and Obama, this would mean Sarah also "pals around with drug pushers" like Momma Johnston.

Turns out it is an Oxy bust, there's gonna be more it's just that the Troopers are being a little "tight jawed" at the moment, stay tuned......Gotta love those small town hockey mom family values......

Palin is palling around with drug dealers...this would not be a story if Palin had not made things like this a story....or is this simply a nifty way to get the future mother in law out of her daughter's life? Too bad Levi has become a High School dropout, it would have been nice if an adult had stepped forward and promised to help as long as he stayed in school and furthered his education.

So now we need sex ed AND drug ed.

Wow, her family is such an example... were this Obama there's be so much backlash.

Ummm don't you mean Bristol Palin's FIANCE Levi Johnston? Or at least, that's what we were told during the campaign. Hmmmm...

It looks like the Republican Family Values wagon just lost another wheel....
It's the Palin touch again.......
- Promiscuous teenager daughter
- Teenage pregnancy
- Child's father is a high school drop-out
- Family sent the father way instead of finishing high school
- Ethics violations and abuse of power
- Falsifying expense reports to the state that include travel for her children
- Attempting to expense living at home as a travel expense
- Her favorite consignment shop illegally using the name of a HIV/AIDS Non-Profit and served a 'Cease and Desist' order.
- Race bating
- Secert Service reports Palin is responsible for death threats to the president-elect of America
- Beheading turkeys on national television
- Now the grandmother of her grandchild is arrested on 5 drug counts.

I am sure right now, Palin is trying to cover up the fact that her son-inlaw and daughter were both using 'crystal meth' also. Alaska is the Crystal Meth Capital of the United States.

and to think " this are the people we are told are in real america" , the more i see " real america values" the more i want to stay in my other america values. thanks but no thanks sara stay in alaska with your very " interesting families" wao! bristol you really snagged yourself a good one ! you betcha!

Boyfriend of Bristol Palin? Didn't he, like, get her pregnant? BTW, we who frequent Wonkette.com miss Campbell Brown's presence!

Just reminding us how happy we are that this charmin' family is not going to be haunting Washington D.C. for the next several years.

Maybe Hillary could give Sarah a few lessons on parenting.

Hillary managed to raise an upstanding, functional Stanford/Oxford graduate daughter that any parent would wish for and be proud of.

While the best Sarah could do was raise some pregnant uneducated teenager whose boyfriend's mother makes and sells drugs!!

The Palins are as disfunctional as the Reagan brood and the Bush twins!

Will People magazine cover the wedding? What is the date of the wedding?

Looks like immoral behavior runs rampant through both families, doesn't it ?

Sleigh trash.

I like the look on that kids face...

It screams: "God ,I wish I wore a condom!!!"

I'm sorry, but it's laughable if many of you can't see that the relationship (between Palin's daughter and Levi) during the campaign was staged. If it ever does go anywhere, Levi will be leaving the daughter in a few years. This kid has no head on his shoulders; he's just that – a kid. The rest of his friends will be departing for college soon and he will try to take care of a baby. He will become bored, and he will abdicate his responsibilities. He may repent later on in life, but repentance is a far cry from acting responsibly. And that is my greatest complaint toward the moral right – you can all talk the talk, screw up, repent, and then become clean as unblanched snow. I can't possibly conceive of a loving God that endorses your views.

Does this mean Dr. James Dobson and the "Family Research Council" is going to rush their high-powered lawyers to Alaska in support of Momma Johnston , , , , in the same manner as was done for Sarah Palin when news broke she was under investigation regarding Trooper-Gate?

Ha!
I knew that the "Real America (TM)" was the one you see on COPS rerums! And, before you comment, understand that Ima Kidding is Justa Kidding.
MZ

Word has it she cooks crystal meth and Levi is involved as a seller to his high school buddies. Uh-Oh!

Let us see, first this statement; ""The warrant resulted from an “undercover investigation,” according to Alaska State Trooper spokeswoman Megan Peters.""

And then; ""Palin’s spokesman Bill McAllister said Friday. “This is not a state government matter.”"

I guess in Alaska the State Troopers are not working for the state government?

Everytime a right wing Republican opens their mouth do they lie? Or, are they just stupid? They thought the American people were stupid this past year, but enough of us woke up.

PS: for all you clowns that still believe all Democrats are on welfare, take a look at the Bush Wall Street bunch and ask yourselves just who is on welfare?

So Sarah Palin FAILED AS A MOTHER to keep her 17-year-old daughter from dating a foul-mouthed bully with a drug-dealing mother. Look at the people Palin let PAL AROUND with her daughter. What a HYPOCRITE!

@John G:

Talking too much about violence in Chicago would rouse the inevitable charge of "racism."

@pam Eugene OR:

Out-of-wedlock births are only OK when they're non-white. Or didn't you know that?

Conservative Christians have much less of a desire to interfere in people's lives than your typical liberal, who dearly wants everyone to think like him/her and has no problem using the club of the State to accomplish that.

What family doesn't have its ups and downs?

I don't know why any of us would be surprised. If Palin presents "Real America," I don't want any part of it. Let's see, how can the conservative base spin this one???

Can you imagine the prenup that Levi was probably forced to sign!

Uhhh...not only is this not state government business, it's not even news. If her cousin's barber gets picked up for unpaid parking tickets, are we going to have to read about that too? Come on, CNN!
By the way,
McCain/Palin suckers: Get over it. You lost.
Obama/Biden suckers: Get over it. You won.
Alaska Haters: Bite my butt. Alaska rules, even if the governor doesn't.

Palin's spokesperson, Bill McAllister, sez "no comment, this isn't a state government matter" LOL. These morons crack me up, so a church in Wasilla is almost set on fire and there was comment aplenty on that incident from the Palin Admin, that must've been a state government matter.LOL... Dang this Palin Admin, amongst other things, is two faced.

Wow – thank goodness the US electorate dodged THAT bullet!

Wow, does CNN know its public or what? The far left is so obsessed with Sarah Palin that they jump on any opportunity to trash her. CNN is more than happy to chum the waters too...

Sarah Palin is as relevent today as Jack Kemp was on Christmas of 1996. People with something to do just don't care that much. Its an election, a big show, and the more popular guy won. Everybody go back to whatever rock the crawled out from under...

Has anyone seen Bristol lately? No! You know why? Because she's not pregnant and never has been. That was a lie concocted by the lying GOP (led by Liar-in-Chief Sarah Palin) to cover up the fact that Bristol - not Gov. Palin - gave birth to the baby with Down's syndrome. Now that it's finally time for Bristol to deliver her (and Levi's) baby, she's nowhere to be seen - and I'll betcha (to quote Palin) you won't be seeing a wedding or a baby. Oh, and as for Levi and his mama, he's already said he's a redneck so it's not surprising that the apple don't far fall from the trailer.

I can't wait for the next SNL.

what... is irony dead in this county along with everything else? Look at my name... get it? No wonder McCain/Palin got as many votes as they did. As Scooge said, "I'll retire to Bedlam..."

@ NoBamaOsama,

Is that the best you got? It does not change the fact that Palin is palling around with drug dealers.

Maybe Mrs. Pallin will intercede on Mrs. Johnston's behalf. She interceded last time when she stepped in and got the State Trooper ex-brother-in-law fired. "No I'm not guilty of abuse of power!" So maybe she won't abuse her power with Mrs. Johnston. Levi Johnston was never prosecuted for getting a minor child (Bristol Pallin) pregnant. See? No abuse of power.

Republicans smoke pot too. When they're not they're running around busting us progressive liberals for it!

EJC... I don't think the police do covert investigations for months for just a simple stoner....

$1000.00 on Methamphetamine. Any takers? I'm offering 7 to 1.

It's the champaign of drugs you know.

This is part of the Family Values Tour right?

Who says Gov. Palin is "palling" around with druggies? Just because her soon-to-be son-in-law's mother gets busted for felony misconduct of an illegal substance, doesn't mean she knew what was going on or that she pals around with her. It really bothers me to see all the left-winged liberal nut-jobs slamming a governor they KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. Try living in Alaska for a change and you'll see that things aren't as bad as the leftist media makes it out to be.

.. I hate to be a wet blanket.... but doing drugs while pg can lead to birth defects such as mental retardation.... I would hate to think it...
but it does look suspicious. I hope the daughter and boyfriend were not doing drugs with her pg....

Well, Obama never claimed to be Mr. Family Values. The democratic party never set itself up as the party of the righteous. The republicans are always preaching how they are the party of morality. If Palin hadn't said she was the stereotypical loving mother with the ideal family, then this wouldn't be such a joke.

Seriously, the election is over and your guy won, CNN. Let these two young people live their lives. This is ridiculous – use some judgment in your reporting.

I can only imagine the uproar had this story been about Obama's hometown and the boyfriend of Sasha.

I'm willing to bet the drug was meth. How tragic.

mmmmh.... and these are family friends of the first family of Alaska?

Sorry "NoBama Osama" looks like you're outnumbered on this one because I've seen more people making the same post about Palin and a drug dealer. And if anybody goes back to the welfare line they just might meet Joe the Plumber there seeing he was on welfare twice himself.

When you throw stones be careful, somebody just might throw them back at you....

you betcha!!

Ok, let's calm down...

Liberals know that this is not funny, this woman has real problems. But, consevatives, understand that Gov. Palin did a campaign where she claimed that this kind of mistakes are unforgivable and that the mistakes made by people around us are pretty much mistakes made by us. Wasn't that what the Governor implied so many times?

It's amazing how liberal consevatives get when they are criticized based on their own words.

Gotta love those family values.........

another entertaining instaallment on family values

Dysfunctional sums up this Palin group. Sure this will not be the last of their escapades

LMAO!!

Who cares?!? This is news?

booo whooooo booo whoooo !!! Poor lil boy from Alaska

Are you kidding me, is this really news? Who cares that the mother of the boyfirend of the oldest daughter of a failed Vice Presidential candidate got arrested for drugs. It amazes me that this woman and anyone related to her is still in the news, any other election year and the loser is out of the news very quickly after the results. But because this retard from Alaska (who is carefully watching the nasty Russians from her porch) was a blip on the nation scene, does not make her news-worthy. Does this mean that because my wife and I were raised in Idaho, the same state that Palin was born in, that if we blow our noses that we can get on the national news. Please Palin just go away.

Why is this even news? Who cares? This kind of stuff makes my eyes bleed. CNN do us all a favor and stopping reporting on trash like this.

Palin knew a drug dealer. Obama was a drug user. Maybe the kids mom and Obama can get together!

The mother-in-law will have all charges dropped.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Really, anyone surprised?

Two sayings I don't like to say, but, I'm going to anyway... "What goes around comes around" and "Told you so". Palin should have been more careful before she went around pointing her finger and acting as if she were above everyone else. Things can happen right in your back yard, you betcha! She probably had no clue that Levi's mom was having issues, just like I or you don't know what our neighbors are doing behind their closed doors. The difference between "us Americans" and "Palin Americans" is that we don't go around making statements which have no truth to them. Sad, sad, sad...

BB,

I'd rather talk to my educated Muslims friends, it is my constitutional right you know, rather than morons like Rush and Sean! What bimbo's just like Palin!

Crystal Meth capital of Alaska. Nuff said?

Wow, did America dodge a bullet. Can you imagine if Sarah Palin was the Vice-President-elect and this story surfaces? What a bunch of hillbillies.

This made me laugh, but is it really news?

These people are so trashy, Jerry Springer should look to moving his show to Wasilla.

ha ha, you guys, um, "Ima Kidding" was just KIDDING.

Jesus.

What a wonderful example the families are setting for American young people! Sarah didn't have much to offer except her eyesight. Certainly not her insight!!

I'm not surprised, anything or anyone with close connections to Sarah Palin would be tarnished in some way.

I feel sorry for the baby though!

Based on all this hard-hitting, no holds barred journalism by CNN, one can only conclude from this that Gov. Palin is soft on crime and supports drug use.

Like Obama the crack head? It isn't even Palin you moron, get back to your welfare line!
_____________________________________________________
Obama is a crack head???? First time I heard that one.. (NoBamaOsama) why dont YOU get back to hanging Christmas lights on your TRAILOR????
BTW....Levi mom allowed him to DROP-OUT of school,because Palin's daughter got "knocked up" which I thought was strange...
But maybe Sherry was too high to notice her son's a High School Drop-OUT!

The Sarah Palin Chronicles just never end. 'Say it ain't so", Sarah. You can take the woman out of the trailer park but you will never take the Trailer Park out of the woman.

The baby is supposedly due tomorrow? But no wedding yet? Isn't it a rule that neo-cons can't give birth out of wedlock? It pleases me more than I can say that Sarah Palin pals around with dope dealers!

"Like Obama the crack head? It isn't even Palin you moron, get back to your welfare line"

EVERYBODY IS ON WELFARE NOW (Including AIG, CITI, Bank of America, The big three). Did you see the welfare line in Palm Beach, FL (After the Madoff fiasco) ?

Everybody needs a hobby....

Something on youtube said Palin's daughter was doing drugs, could Levi's mom be the source?

Oh and JJ, I have 4 pcs and a mac, at home where I work, live, play and something really scary – READ.

The Sarah Palin Chronicles never end! Please 'say it ain't so',Sarah.

Wow, you guys are really starting to stoop to a new low in journalism. Just how is the arrest of a mother of the fiancee of the daughter of the former GOP VP nominee considered news? Only far left nutjobs care about this garbage.

Levi's mom probably needed a little something to help her get through wedding preparations with Sarah Palin!

JJ maybe if you got off your lazy butt and off of welfare and got a JOB, you would be having the same problem.

Leave this family ALONE!!! Get a life people. What can you do to make America, a better place!!!

I'm waiting for Palin and her in-law apperance on the Springer Show. I always thought she was high on something. Bastard Grandchild, Druggie in-laws, stealing the RNC clothes and underwear. What's next for these God fearing holier than thou idiots from Alaska. I sure hate she's not going to be Vice President.

Another conformation that we voted the right ticket into office,

is she covering for him?

"You liberals are crazy – you say people are bad for getting unwed teenagers pregnant or dealing drugs but you are all for giving poor people health care and talking to Muslims. Rush and Sean are right!!!!"

Yeah right, GOP is full of drug dealers & pill poppers (Rush and Cindy).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When IS that shotgun wedding supposed to take place? Mother in law dresses come in stripes, I hope!

I can see Miss Palin and the boyfriend drivin' up to the pen so young Cooter Palin can see his Grannny. Look for them in a dirty old pickup truck, beer cans rattling around in the back, McDonalds trash flung out the window....Do you suppose Miss Palin's future mother in law was cranking out meth for Sarah to send on to her good friend and admirer, Rush Gasbag?

That's hot.

Now Sarah, stop carving that Thanksgiving Day Turkey and come snorts some lines on the coffee table with ya baby's Momma in Law.

It's Wasilla. What do you expect.

Here come the democrats, lets attack, You betcha. Your 15 minutes of glory and hating republicans is over, get over it. Obama took drugs. Who cares about this. its just fodder to help entertain democrats that have nothing to do but attack someone.

Here come the democrats, lets attach, You betcha. Your 15 minutes of glory and hating republicans is over, get over it. Obama took cocaine. Who cares about this. its just fodder to help entertain democrats that have nothing to do but attack someone.

I don't know what this is doing in the "politics" section, but then again I was bewildered by the fact that Sarah Palin was voted into office, considering her obvious lack of knowledge on almost any subject.

maggie from virginia palin palling around with drug dealers thats a good one.

A drug arrest in Wasilla, Alaska makes the national news? What's next guys?

palin had a baby out of wedlock as well. she needs to stop casting stones and speaking out against abortion and gays when she has her own sins to work on. god nor jesus would approve.

Excuse me ... why is this news? The mother of the fiancee of the daughter of the governor of Alaska is hardly a public figure.

FOR i'M A KIDDING......Are you serious? What's wrong with giving poor people healthcare? What's wrong with talking to Muslims? You CANNOT condemn a whole religion for what a few extremist did. There are extremist in all religions. If this is the best that Sean and Rush has to offer, no wonder republicans took such a beating in the elections.

As for this woman getting arrested...WHO CARES!!!!!! I'm no Sarah Palin fan but this has nothing to do with her.

I don't see what Levi has to do with his mother's problem. At least HE is doing the right thing (thankfully, SOME children of "problem" parents understand that they are NOT to blame for their "deadbeat" mom/dad).

There are lots of "parents" (I daresay, some of "THESE" are blogging on CNN) - who don't deserve the designation of "parent" and all that it honorably entails.

Still, their children go on to lead constructive lives –and I say, GOOD FOR THEM! And good for Levi and Bristol!!!!!!

After all, Obama's mother and father had HIM out of wedlock - and Obama's father was a major drunk, who had to have one leg amputated following drunk driving - and eventually killed himself while driving drunk - AGAIN - so big DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, THATZ IT!!!!! 101 COMMENTS FOR THE HILLARY STORY AND ONLY 8 FOR A PALIN-RELATED STORY. WOW, EITHER THE ANTI-PALINS ARE ON HOLIDAY OR THEY HAVE FINALLY-THANK GOD- RUN OUT OF STEAM.

JJ, why don't you move out of your parent's basement into an apartment, stop smoking doob, go back and get your G.E.D., and get a real job.

Then come back here and post something more intelligent than you have so far.

Or maybe, just maybe, you are Levi, in which case, never mind. It wouldn't do any good.

Tough to have a tweaker for a mom, huh?

The "war on drugs" is a complete failure and a huge waste of taxpayer's money. This civil war in America has accomplished absolutely nothing other than to empower criminals, and organized drug gangs while ripping apart millions of American families. In order to feed their habits, American cocaine users are authorizing countless murders of innocents by in Mexico by drug cartels. A common sense Federal drug policy would treat addictions as disease and regulate recreational drugs. The drugs should be taxed and distributed in a safer manner and addicts should be able to receive medical treatment rather than simply building more jails. This failed war has done absolutely nothing to stem the flow of drugs into our nation.

That being said, the fact that this woman will also be the grandmother of Palin's grandchild is meaningless. In spite of how much I dislike Palin and would love to have another reason to ridicule her this story is meaningless when presented in the context of Palin. The headline should be: "Another American Family Falls Victim to the Miserable, Failed War on Drugs".

The baby is due this week. Am I the only one who thinks this is sad?

Ima Kidding,

How is giving healthcare to the needy and talking instead of killing bad? I can see your moral values are down there with Atila the Hun, like the rest of the conservatives

Well, I guess there ain't really good newspapers to read up in Alaska; you betcha, so you gotta amuse yourself with other activities in your spare time while your'e not goin' to church.

On a serious note, it is sad that this State pays its investigative officers for snatchin' a pot smoker or coke snorter (remember 16 years ago while running for President, Bill Clinton swore "I didn't inhale") instead of identifying and prosecuting rapists (it's hard to bust your family members). A little behind the times and not well read, but you betcha!

Crooks hang out with crooks

I'm shocked, simply shocked. And I thought that the Palin family and "in-laws" represented "real small town" American values.Or... maybe they do!

WOW!! This is sad...............Paliin must be furious with the Johnston family for putting her in a negative spotlight. six counts of felony misconduct; WOW just WOW!!!!!

Palling around with drug dealers. You Betcha!

JJ, what makes you so unique? You only work 'til 4?

@ Ima Kidding...

you know I guess you're right...poor people should just stay sick or die instead of giving them health care and like all Christians are good and all Muslims are evil. No wonder Rush and Sean get million dollar contracts for speaking the truth.

Ordinarily, this wouldn't be funny. But since Palin is the one claiming that she and her rural America constituents are the "real Americans" and "pro-Americans", you have to laugh that she and her family are "palling around" with drug dealers. What a hypocrite!

Maggie from Virginia December 19th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

"Palin is palling around with drug dealers. Gotta love those family values of "real America"."

Like Obama the crack head? It isn't even Palin you moron, get back to your welfare line!

"Fambly Values" at work.

To Ima Kidding December 19th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

*******************************************************************
I'm a republican, so just chill.

She's probably just a stoner like so many Alaskans. Leave her alone. When is this country going to realize that cigarettes and alcohol kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year? Where's all the pot carnage? Mexico? At the hands of the drug cartels that profit from pot's prohibition in th U.S.? The 'stepping stone' theory is ancient propoganda history. Most kids do tobacco before any other drug. Alcohol and tobacco are America's 'stepping stone' drugs......and don't forget Mom and Dad's prescriptions.

If the Republicans had not announced that their party was the only one who had "family values" this would not be much of a story.

But those who set themselves up as "holier" than the rest of us poor slobs end up falling farther and landing harder: when they turn out to be human.

People who stick their nose into other people's business, then whine when their own transgressions are published are just plain old hypocrites.

So let me see if I can wrap my head around this...

The mother of the father of the former vice presidential candidate's daughter's baby was arrested on drug charges and it makes CNN but God only knows how many drug related corpses turn up in big cities like say Chicago on a daily basis and are lucky to get a mention in the obituary section....

This really is just pathetic.

WHEN IS GOV.PALIN'S TURN TO BE WIRE TAPPED ? ALASKA IS NOTED FOR CRIMES AND SEX,AND CHILDRED BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK.IT'S A WAY OF LIFE AND VERY SAD THAT THE IDIOT SARAH PALIN CANNOT CURB THE CRIMES HAPPENING RIGHT IN HER BACKYARD.

They aren't married yet? I thought they were fine upstanding teenagers dedicated to their baby? You mean they were just political pawns? SHOCKING!!

How is the State Police not part of the State Government? If it is, then isn't this inherently a "state government matter"? I can understand her reticence to speak on the matter, but she's gotta come up with a better answer than that.

Sarah Palin should stop palling around drug dealers. How dare her!

To "JJ" Yes, SOME of us have computers at work, we are JUST WORKING for our pay AND NOT using them for PERSONAL use. That's why some of us are "so mad" by the time our WORK shift comes to an end, we can blow off people who use the computers at work for PERSONAL use INSTEAD of DOING THE JOB YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING! HA! U Make me laugh...

Is this really news? We all know they are "trash". By the way is Bristol Palin STILL chasing her baby's father or has she given birth in an undisclosed igloo someplace? I'm sure unless it's a shot gun wedding-the "proud" groom won't be there. More reason why Sarah Palin should be home. She will never occupy the WH. Never. All the media needs to do is play the turkey video and remind everyone about her home life. Enough said.

The shot gun wedding is definitely off now!

To deb in Colo December 19th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

So when exactly is that wedding??
********************************
They're waiting until next summer. Want to set a good example for their 6 month old. BTW, the baby is due tomorrow, so Grammaw Johnson gets her arraignment when the baby's 2 weeks old. How sweet. Gotta love the family values --------

JJ, most of this is propaganda by political parties. They are trying to sway public opinion this way.

Palin is palling around with drug dealers. If the shoe fits throw another one.

This all could have been prevented with a little sex and drug education. The hypocrisy continues... Palin, your Chickens are, coming home, to ROOOOST.

Six felony counts after an undercover investigation that "had been going on for a while"

Doesn't sound like they caught her smokin' a joint in the parking lot does it?

Gee, I guess Sarah's going to have to explain why she's pallin' around with drug dealers.

What a pack of white trash they all are. When did it become OK for a teenager to have a baby out of wedlock/\? The moral majority party has lost their way.
There have been rumors for quite a while that both the "children" (Palin's pregnant daughter and Levi) were involved with drugs. It seems the baby is due quite soon and still no marriage. I have no problem with this other than these professed Christians want to tell the rest of us how perfect they are and force us to live by their rules.

You liberals are crazy – you say people are bad for getting unwed teenagers pregnant or dealing drugs but you are all for giving poor people health care and talking to Muslims. Rush and Sean are right!!!!

Will there still be a wedding now that Palin is a has-been VP candidate ?

Just when you thought you wouldn't be hearing about Alaska / Palin bunch!!!!

deb in Colo: When is the wedding? Well, since the mother of the groom is otherwise occupied.......

Baby daddy left his ring in the wrong cookie jar, now his family is looked out in a microscopic view...do not leave your ring in the cookie jar...

What is Palin's third-cousin's brother-in-law's uncle's fourth cousin twice-removed up to these days? This is something we need to know.

Of COURSE Sarah Palin will not issue a comment! WHAT kind of comment COULD she offer without looking any more lame than she and her "morals" appear to be [or~had been.] It is not one thing someone wants when in the public eye, let alone, in their private life. Her daughter is with child OUT OF WEDLOCK and is getting into "marrage" with a man whose mother got caught with illegal substances. That's not something you want to "appear" to support. It's very, very hypocritical to "stone" someone else unless it is in YOUR family! Marriage is not as sacred as it used to be. Why don't we ALLOW the gay people to get "married" and maybe, just maybe they could remind us how it is to be done. I know [gay] people who have been together for over 20 years and they do not get the right to "marry".

Who cares?

What?!!! Oh well, figures.

Why do I think that Sarah has a bogus explanation for this as well as everything else in which she perceives herself as an expert?

Obama was a drug user. Do a story on that. These people do not hold any office. This should not even be printed.

Waoooooooo, like mother – like son, like daughter – like mother, hello RNC. see ya 2012

If CNN is reporting it it must be news right?

Thank god America did not climb on to this train wreck!!!

Do most of you people only have use of computer's @ work!!! i never see the HATER blogs after 5pm... Makes you wanna say UMMMMMMMMM????????????

And in case you all don't know – it's a conspiracy – law looks the other way in Alaska. Only 600,000 people in that entire state, and live without snoops looking in their doors.

I meant baby Daddy's MOMMA is in trouble...OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably for a wedding present.

Oh My...Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy is in tourble...I'm sure glad it wasn't one of Obama's daughters...we would still be hearing about it everyday since the story came out!!!

I may not have liked Palin but this is a sad situation for the family and Levi. May the lord bless there family and help them work thru this pain they are having to deal with. No matter if you don't like someone you should never wish ill upon them.

I just have a feeling that after Palin lost the election that this "shotgun" wedding is not going to happen anytime soon if at all. And that might be a good thing since these unions normally don't last anyway.

Levi's mom does drugs. Did Gov. Palin know about this investigation while she was running for VP? So Palin pals around with convicted drug felons. Hey, since Bristol and Levi's baby is due Saturday and they were supposed to be getting married before she gave birth, did we miss a wedding or is this baby being born out of wedlock?And what about those racist emails in Gov. Palins office. Makes you wonder if all those internet rumors about her being a racist were indeed true.

Don't worry Levi, your mother-in-law will make this case goes away when there is a wedding ring on Bristol's finger. Arresting your mom should warm up those cold feet a little.

Obama was a drug user, wasn't he?

WOW...what a surprise that Sarah Palin's future son-in-law's family might also be kind of TRAILER PARK..."ish"

Now Sarah...this is your daughter's BABY DADDY'S MOMMA!

So when exactly is that wedding??

Palin is palling around with drug dealers. Gotta love those family values of "real America".
