Dr. Drew Commends Bristol Palin and Sarah Palin’s Parenting
Dr. Drew Pinsky had accolades for both Bristol Palin as a mother and her parents Todd and Sarah Palin on the job they did raising Bristol. Dr. Drew rubbed elbows with Bristol during a Candies Foundation event to raise awareness about the consequences of teen pregnancy. ”Less than 2% of teen moms ever finish college, and 80% of the dad’s take off. Every day 2000 teenagers become pregnant. We need to do better, and Bristol has been working with The Candies Foundation to help get the word out and educating and empowering young women to not become a statistic.”
Here’s what else he had to say:
“Bristol was fantastic. She is clearly a mother. Her parents (Sarah and Todd Palin), have handled it just right.
“Take the Palins’ politics out of it — they have done a remarkable job with Bristol. She is very poised and clear on who she is. She doesn’t apologize for who she is.
“Bristol is taking a sub-optimal situation and reaching out to her peers and trying to educate them about teen pregnancy.”

Michele commented on May 10 10 at 8:13 amBristol’s “obviously a mother,” he says. What does that mean? She had a child…she’s a mother. Duh. From where I stand, as a woman who raised two children, she appears to be headed in the same direction as her own mother. Reports of the amount of money she is getting from Levi indicate that she does not need to work. She should be raising that child herself…the amount spent on daycare would buy a lot of diapers. But since Sarah cannot be bothered to stay home with HER toddler, why would Bristol not jump at the opportunity to spend time on TV in NYC and then go to an adult club. After all, she is 19 and the club is for 21 and over. Oh, did she use a fake ID? Or is this another Palin perk, like raiding Rodeo Drive on Oscar week? These people and their sense of entitlement are getting old. And she may now be in an apartment, but I read that that is a very recent change in her living arrangements.
Mysucre commented on May 10 10 at 9:19 amSo it seems the Palin females have wooed another otherwise intelligent male into their web.
Trish commented on May 10 10 at 11:22 amI would love to hear Dr. Drew’s take on Trig and Tripp often being given Benedryl right before an interview, press conference or rally.

Pew Drinksy commented on May 10 10 at 1:56 pmWait a minute. When any other girl except a Palin gets knocked up, drops out of high school, and doesn’t marry the baby-daddy, she’s a “whore”…but Palin is exemplary? LOL!
cam999 commented on May 10 10 at 4:51 pmAs long as Bristol and Sarah can stay in the news, and take up space on hollywood rag magazines they will continue to bank about 12 mil a year or more. They are probably laughing all the way to the bank.
cam999 commented on May 10 10 at 5:04 pmI think the only involvement Sarah has on her Facebook account is her picture. With all of her travel, TV deals and fox it seems obvious that Todd is in charge of Facebook and Twitter, so the Teabagers should take exception with him. Its really nice of the Teabagers to keep lining Sara’sr pockets so her and Todd can live the good life.
hunter69 commented on Dec 05 10 at 2:58 amThis just proves that psychiatrists are whacked. To call Todd and Sarah Palin good parents. Lets see, they have spent these kids lives running all over the country for Sarahs political agenda to be President, they have one daughter (Bristol)that regularly was out getting drunk and according to her chatter with friends, probably high. Then got pregnant, probably while liquored up. She’s only doing these speaking engagements to make $15,000-$30,000 per speech and to keep herself and her mother in the political limelight. Her actions over the last few months have shown possible signs of what many therapists call “substance abuse induced emotional stunting.” This is a fancy title that means that when someone uses heavy alcohol or drugs for a period of time, maybe even just a couple of years, it retards their emotional maturity. In other words if a person 40 years old drank heavy amounts of alcohol or used drugs when they were 15 years old, even moderate amounts of marijuana, they can be an intellectual genius and have the emotional maturity of a 15 year old. Of course theres the other daughter (Willow)the 16 year old that is hooked up at least into alcohol and a party where she and the other partying teens did $20,000-$30,000 dollars worth of damage to someone elses vacant house. According to the reports she helped lead the teens to the vacant house they destroyed. Of course by the time Sarah Palin got through having a secret meeting with the with her stoolies at juvenile justice, Willow and all of the girls are just witnesses and the boys are being prosecuted. Good christian values? Good family values? Good parents? What type of drugs is Dr Drew taking?
