From NBC's Mark Murray
Reuters: "The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.
Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said. 'We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,' the Palins' statement said. 'Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,' the Palins said."
*** UPDATE *** Here's a statement the McCain camp released from Todd and Sarah Palin, which is identical to the quote in the Reuters story: "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support."
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."

Whatever. Don't care. That's tabloid crap for the lowest common denominator to squeal and root at.

Bristol Palin is not running for any political office in the land.

That is not a mother I'd want angry at me.

I DIDN'T DO IT I SWEAR I WAS NOWHERE NEAR HER!!!!

She's marrying the father so he's safe. Now if he dropped her like a lot of inner city guys seem wont to do then he'd better be able to run fast and far.

My wife told me this. I was like, why is this news? What does it matter what her (adult) child does? I agree with this just being pointless attempts to find news.
She's not quite an adult yet (17). But yeah, it's still a non-issue.

To me, it is sort of like that Democrat guy mentioning Cheney's lesbian daughter during one of the debates 8 years ago. It didn't hurt Cheney and only made that Democrat look bad.

Clearly we must locate the father - an evil pedophile to be sure - and send the local state troopers/ATF/FBI/SWAT to raid the hell out of his house, shoot his dogs, shoot his grandmother if she's around, shoot him, add him to the sex offender list posthumously.
After that McCain must withdraw his candidacy and sow ashes on his hair for having cooperated with the horror that his VP has allowed to occur.

Has anyone noticed a few more female news reporter people on the TV criticizing Palin in the last week?
