Bristol Palin Confirms She Will Run for Political Office

By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 9th 2011 07:12PM

Bristol Palin, 20, is already plotting her future career in -- you guessed it -- politics! In an interview with E! News, Bristol admits that she'll "probably" run for office sometime "further down the road."

But sources claim Bristol's foray into politics is going to happen a lot sooner than she lets on. "Bristol has a new sense of confidence since she did 'Dancing with the Stars,'" the source said. "She has seen her mother (Sarah Palin's) success and believes Washington should have more regular people like her in office making decisions for the country, rather than the elite that currently run DC."

The abstinence speaker and soon-to-be author "doesn't have a strong political resume," but the source claims "that's what will make her a great congresswoman or even president!" Who knows? Maybe Bristol will be vying for the White House in 2012 instead of Mama Grizzly!

When asked just what would drive this young mother to enter the cutthroat world of politics, Bristol's answer was similar to one her own mom has given in the past. "If I saw something that needed to be changed, then I would step up to the plate and do something about it," she said.

Bristol better prepare for a lot more criticism to come her way if she wants to work in government. The Hollywood bullies' cracks at her are nothing compared to the punches Washington, DC, is sure to throw her way. And while we might not know much yet about her ability to cut excess spending or pass a bill, we do know the girl's certainly got a mean foxtrot.

Stupidity and ignorance is in her genes, so of course she'll run. What a friggin' fool! She can't even think for herself, got a few bucks as the national joke on DWTS and now she thinks she's worthy of a national political campaign. JOKE!

The Ivy League elitest have screwed this country up so bad. You really think Palin or anyone else could do worse? I seriously doubt it.

By vickie

please tell me she didn't say that....her and her mother really think too highly of themselves.....

By tomf

Anyone that reverts to pseudo profanity to express an opinion is neither capable of coherant thought or able to express themselves intelligently. Using harsh invecetives or casting personal aspersion reflects poorly on you

By speech

KT: Please put yourself out of your misery.... NOW !!!

Speech or whatever unorginal name you use to hide behind.YOU SHUT UP and put yourself out of your misery,because Bristol is the BEST !! YAYYY BRISTOL !!!

I would guess that KT is only 15 or 16. If that old!

By me

Speaking of ignorance... Bristol CAN'T run for president in 2012. She's 20 and has never held office.
She is clearly her mother's daughter. Despite the personal attacks and humiliation her family suffered, she isn't scared straight. Maybe I'm just not "rogue" enough, but if I belonged to that family, I'd rather do anything BUT politics!

By dhefu

Yes, that is such a waste of time to get an MBA, Law Degree, what we really need are these "real" people, who know the difference between right and wrong and dancing with the stars is an excellent prep for running the country. We are so lucky to have these shining trailer trash to lead us.

By Stephanie

This girl forgot to vote in the latest national election because she was so busy on DWTS and shen expects to be taken seriously in the political arena? Laughable.

Bristol has learned from her mother that you don't really have to be knowledgeable, you just have to say outrageous things and you can make millions from the limited intelligence crowd. No real work required.

Does she know where Russia is located?

True! Did you not know the job as dog catcher was available?
Like her mother there are a bunch of morons that will vote for anyone. Almost like the Governor of New Jersey, and he has thousand's of Police, Fire and Teachers loosing their jobs in New Jersey because of his foolish politicks. Where do you see a school being closed because of a foolish Governor? New Jersey.

By themeeker

I pity her constituency if they are really foolish enough to vote for this idiot.

Exactly -- couldn't have said it better myself!

If she thinks she's going to run for president in 2012, then she shows that she has about the same amount of knowledge of our constitution as her moronic mother. You must be 35. Having a kid when you're a loose teen skank doesn't give you extra credit.

By Van

Uhh, Rebecca, you are aware that you have to be 35 to run for President of the United States, right? I'm sure you must have just said that in jest, but it does make you look a bit foolish.
