Bristol Palin: Michele Bachmann 'Dresses a Lot Like My Mom'

By Rob Shuter Posted Jun 28th 2011 10:50PM

EXCLUSIVE: Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, says her mom has already made up her mind about whether to run for the White House in 2012 -- but will leave the big announcement up to her. That said, Bristol is more than happy to reveal what she thinks about someone who has announced they are running, Michele Bachmann, who Bristol believes has stolen her mom's look!

"I think she dresses a lot like my mom," Bristol tells me. "But a lot, a lot of women have done that the last few years. I do think it's odd, you know, seeing people with red blazers with their hair up with glasses."

Bristol added a giggle before continuing her thought about Bachmann, a Congresswoman from Minnessota. "I don't know if she's wearing glasses but you want to be hummmm, do you think that people don't notice you're dressing like my mom?"

The 'Dancing With the Stars' alum, who is promoting her new book 'Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far,' says that she's been through a lot for a 20-year-old Alaska girl and has stories that she hopes other young ladies will be able to relate to.

"The night with Levi is one of my biggest mistakes. I knew that if I wanted this book to have an impact on people that I was going to have to be completely candid and completely honest," Bristol tells me. "I put it all on the table just knowing in the back of my head that others can relate to these stories and hopefully learn from it."

Bristol wants to make it very clear that she is not an abstinence preacher, but rather someone who is really passionate about teenage pregnancy prevention.

"It's not ideal for anyone to be a teen mom and hopefully girls can learn from that story," Bristol tells me. "I hate the word abstinence. It reminds me of Sex Ed class. Ehhh. Its not all about abstinence. I wasn't going to have sex before I got married. For others, if that's not an option for them, you know, hopefully they will practice safe sex ... really safe sex. Just because you're on birth control doesn't mean you're not going to get pregnant."

Bristol tells me she has got a lot in common with her famous mom that she is so proud of.

"I think we are both driven, really motivated, to do what's right," Bristol tells me. "We are really religious and we know what's right from wrong. We both have a drive about us where we want to get things done for ourselves."

So much hatred of Sarah Palin and her family. It is pretty clear that you haters see yourselves and your pathetic families, in the Palins. One exception - the Palins can buy and sell all of you nitwits in a single day. So, quit torturing your feeble
jealous brains and learn to respect the Palins. Who knows Sarah may be our next president. Wow, that would really make you sexist, liberals cringe.

By GEORGE

She must not believe in that, she got knocked up at 16, another unwed mother, nice family values her parents taught her,you know what i said on bachman & palin running, no more Moriarty in the white house!!!!!!!!

By LM

Hey Bristol, how about the word "Bimbo" does that bother you as well. The apple didn't fall far from the tree in your family. When will you and your stupid mother go away. Please crawl back to Alaska. We don't care about your life story.

By Suzanne

And Bristol Palin's opinion matters because...? Her only claim to fame is that of an unwed pregnant daughter of a vice-presidential candidate, not so outstanding Dancing with the Stars contestant, and like her mother, publicity hound!

By dotlhs56

The baby is not a mistake but the incident that produced him was a mistake. Abstinence should be in your vocabulary and practiced. It should be in your mama's vocabulary and not mean abscence of sex but politics. She is a mistake to politics. A book??? Who cares??? Everybody writes a book and why??? Nobody cares about it. Get a life without writing a book and lead the rest of your life until marriage with abstinence.

I'd like to hear about her plastic surgery on her face and is she going to have anymore. And what made her feel she needed plastic surgery.

By scottnsandrac

Does anyone really care what this twit has to say? C'mon, a book about her life???? What for, she was spoiled rotten, got pregnant at 16, has her whole family support her and help raise the child (while slamming the dad with lies to make Palin LOOK better (maybe she shouldnt have had her 16yo daughters BF spending the night, ya think?)WTH does she have to write about? poor little spoiled rotten slimy me? Give us ALL a break and send every single news item regarding ANY palin's to siberia!

By reathea

First of all, abstinence IS safe sex, really safe sex. How can she say she is not a preacher of abstinence and yet promotes safe sex? Oxymoron!! And if she knows right from wrong, she should have known drinking, getting drunk and having sex was WRONG. Perhaps she has had an epiphany suddenly.

By Lee

God! Get this crazy girl out of the media's attention so we don't have to look, listen or read about her or her messed up family. Not to mention that we won't have to listen to these idiots that like her with their stupid post on how it's better to have the baby and made the mistake. What a bunch of loosers. People always have an excuse for low or "no" morals.

By IndyMom

We all know she hates the word "abstinence." That's quite obvious, isn't it? I love that she's sniping at Bachmann; a Teabagger catfight is always entertaining! The Palins, both mother and daughter, are small,stupid people. The fact that they keep showing up in the media tells us alot about the American media, doesn't it?

By Ben

This amoral tsunami has been the worst storm to hit our American young people since John and Yoko's sleep-in. The only reason she's not more of a threat is that everyone except her realizes what a joke she is. The only reason she's not "Afraid of life" is that she's been able to prostitute herself to the highest bidder be that Levi Johnston, "Dancing with the Stars", or Fox News. Now some ghostwriter has been paid to write for her a book (there's NO WAY she wrote a book!) that somehow seeks to make her escapades into some kind of heroic journey. The death wish that she has for her mom's politcal career is astounding. Every time Sarah even starts to get a little traction, up shows Bristol with either a baby or a book that totally derails her mom's opportunities. This gal needs help and fast!

By findemaxa13

What exactly does the sleep-in have to do with Bristol Palin? It didn't strike me as much of a "moral tsunami."

And they called it a bed-in, anyway, not a sleep-in.

By laughin@stupid

lmao she had sex-ed ???? lmao again what did she learn and she speaks about this lmao again the things the palins will say for money they will drown in it someday soon

By ThePellucid

That night with Levi (Gnat) was the biggest mistake of her life? It has to do with jumping over a log (tree) that fell over the pathway. It was fun jumping over the log (tree) that was repeated many times and a result Bristol developed a baby bump. Had the pair gone fishing, then they would have a very fishy story to account for producing a baby bump. It is the log (tree) thing that was the biggest mistake. Perhaps nest time it will be a boating story, with the boat in the water of course.

By Davidd

Jo you can't rape the willing. As for her hating the word abstinence it's most likely that she can't spell it and she doesn't know what it means. If she would have been a more responsible person she would not have ended up in the situation she did. Look in the mirror honey pot and take a long hard look for the real person who is responsible for all your problems.

By Kelly

Puleeeeeze; that girl wasn't drunk...she was a willing participant! I think she thinks it sounds better to say that...drunk my azz!
