18-year-old Bristol Palin, daughter of also-ran Vice Presidential candidate and current Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, gave birth to a son on Saturday. She and fiance Levi Johnston named the new addition Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. Depending who you ask, this is either Bristol's first child
or her second.
Bristol did not finish high school (neither did her brother Track, who is in the army, which brings Sarah Palin's total of high school graduate offspring to 0/5)
Levi, who is also a high school dropout, is training to work as an electrician.
If
People is willing to drop a lot of coin for pictures of your infant, I guess that makes you by their logic a celebrity. What does this mean? It means that, for now, we're stuck with Bristol, Levi, Tripp, and the rest of the gang. That doesn't just include Sarah Palin, it includes Tripp's other grandma, Sherry Johnston, who got
busted last week for selling OxyContin to an undercover police informant.
