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.

Highest Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

When McCain selected Palin as his VP candidate I looked at her and said woo-hoo, way to go John! Then she opened her mouth and ruined everything...and she hasn't closed it since. Now her kid is going to turn out exactly like her, but without the good looks.

Did I miss something in the article about her actually going to school to learn about politics or is she just gonna wing it?

By early_exit

The above article states the infamous " source" for this hard hitting news reporting, This could mean the Keebler elves , or the Scoobie gang , or as I suspect the newly acquired Huffington post editorial staff. Political office could refer to park district, library board or city council or PTA at a future date. Stupid threads do attract stupid posts right Susan, KT, Driver.

She better get a thick skin, because the way she gets offended with Kathy Griffin and other's she will melt like snow.
I think her ego from DWTS is getting to her. I'm a Republican, and baby I wouldn't vote for you. Get off your high horse.
