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.

And what office would that be?

What do the Palin's think? That running for public office is a game show? Geez, You need a lot more than a High School GED to run for public office.
I can't believe this family gets so much press. It's like watching "The Beverly Hillbillies" when Jethro wants to be president of the bank.

More humor from the right. Dark humor, and I hope a very serious reminder to those who voted for McCain/Palin. Please don't waste your vote again. Try and pay attention, these people are making fun of you, laughing all the way to the bank.......(an overseas bank I'm sure)

lets see now. she barely finished high school if she did. she can't be serious. what she has going for her and i am sure her new boyfriend loves is those big pretty thighs. having said all that this is america and you can attempt anything you want. so i say good luck to her. there are enough morons around that she might win.

What, is running for office in vogue for the most ditzy of women out there? The chick didn't even vote in Nov. when her mom was in the thick of campaigns for Joe Miller, Christine O'donnell, Sharon Angle and Carly Fiorini! When is American intelligence going to trump absurd stupidity? God help us!

I'm so glad some people are educated in civics. You need to be at least 35 to run for president so it won't be 2012 for her!

By Kym

Bristol might want to consider getting an education first. There aren't too many politico types without an education...though I must admit some are ignorant.

By jcgordon45

I'm pretty sure this article is just a joke and not to be taken seriously....just like the Palins!

By fymayawf

Yeah! Being on Dancing with the Stars is perfect preparation for a political career!

By Willychamp

Resume + no political experience = good politician???? Really?!?!?! just absorb that one into the ol' cranium. Also I'm wondering what determines whether someone is considered elite or not.

Bristol Palin could "run" for any office, but this country proved, when John McCain lost the election for President, because of Sarah Palin, among other things, that the American voter is still smart enough NOT to vote for someone who is not qualified for political office. Sarah Palin is making money off her notoriety, not her ability to lead. We won't ever have to worry that it will get any further than that. She will spend all this extra money that she is being paid "for nothing", and she will end up worse off than she was before. No job, no money, no "fame", and still no education. She will live in infamy, as the saying goes.

People, People, Ask yourself who is this Mr. Shuter. Also note the article says, "sources say". Don't believe this stuff. He just wants to keep things stirred up. She is not running for any office.

The headlines of this story are a lie! Now I AM sure that
Huffington Post wrote this. Most of the story is from a "source," probably the National Enquirer!

Please .... stop ... laughing too hard ...
