Gotta Love Those Dysfunctional Palins

Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol has broken off her engagement with Levi Johnston, the father of her 2-month-old son Tripp although she claimed just the other day that Levi is a hands-on daddy and they planned to get married after finishing their education. Levi's sister Mercede Johnston says Bristol is "just crazy," actually broke up with Levi more than a month ago, is not attending school, rarely lets Tripp see its father, whom she calls "white trash."

I offer this post with semi embarrassment. Because as Jason Zengerle correctly notes, these are two teenagers who would be screwing -- and screwing up -- in private if Bristol's mother hadn't accepted John McCain's offer to accompany him to the slaughter house.

Meanwhile, the mother of the Johnstons is awaiting trial on drug trafficking charges.
