Yes I know it’s pointless, that’s why I posted it here!!! About the mother of the self-proclaimed “fucking redneck”, [NY Times / AP reports:](http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2008/12/19/us/AP-Palin-Johnston-Arrest.html) > [@](#): > > ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Alaska state troopers have arrested the mother of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend on drug charges. > > Sherry L. Johnston was arrested Thursday after troopers served a search warrant on a Wasilla home. The 42-year-old Johnston has been charged with six felony drug counts. > > Troopers did not identify the drug involved in a brief mention on the agency’s Web site. > > Johnston is the mother of 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP nominee for vice president, announced in September that her 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, was pregnant and Johnston was the father. > > Sherry Johnston was released from jail in Palmer on $5,000 bail. ---

I suppose if my child were to marry into the Palin family, in my distress I would seek relief in some like fashion. ---

So, is the wedding still on? Funny that we haven’t heard much about it lately. When’s the big happy joyous day? ---

Six felony drug counts, who stays there Keith Richards?! My money is on meth. ---

The Palins are such social climbers! Marrying to move into a better class of Alaskans–postively shameful! ---

Holy crap. Maybe this is why there hasn’t been a wedding. Jon Stewart picks the damnedest time to go on vacation. He’s missed the shoe-throwing incident, Caroline Kennedy’s bid for the Senate, Madoff (did he miss Madoff?), and now this. ---

The Mat-Su Valley, where Wasilla and Palmer are located, is rife with meth, so that’s what my money is on. ---

This couldn’t possibly be a set-up to enable the Palins to gracefully bow out of the wedding plans. He’s clearly not good enough for her…what with being the son of a druggy criminal. ---
