1. I wish the couple many years of happiness and many healthy children.

[tammywammy]

5. +1

[NuclearDem]

10. +2

[xmas74]

23. That is the correct, polite response.

I may not like her but I wish her well on her upcoming nuptials.

[sammythecat]

38. ok, whatever, but why "many"?

Seems kind of archaic. Like 1850ish. Back when labor was needed for the farm and childhood death was common.

Why do we need "many" children today? Seriously, isn't there enough of us on the planet right now? Why not 1 or 2 instead of many?

2. Bristol Meyer.

Where have I heard that name before..hmmm

Well, good luck to them.

6. Actually, "Squibb" would be within the range of believable

[misterhighwasted]

13. Squibb..bwaahaaa

Dang

[misterhighwasted]

16. Plavix, Zerit ..geez!

That'a long list..lots of offspring in their future!

[jberryhill]

17. It reads like a Palin family tree

[misterhighwasted]

19. LOL..

Yup!

[jberryhill]

4. .

[misterhighwasted]

12. Oh duh. That fits ..perfect. Haahaaaa

[MADem]

9. Ok, that's funny!!

I wish them luck, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't last very long.

[pa28]

7. Poor guy is going to be saddled with a batshit crazy mother in law.

I know the feeling.

[Brother Buzz]

8. I bet Las Vegas is already laying odd...

I'm just saying....

[misterhighwasted]

11. And Sarah is brokering the Reality Wedding Show

Back to Hollywood!!

[hifiguy]

41. I am sure that the British bookies are already laying odds.

Hell, in the UK they'll make book on which of two glasses of beer a fly will land on.

I think I would take the "under."

[Ex Lurker]

14. Poor guy. He needs a life of peace and quiet

and that's not what he's gonna get.

[AngryAmish]

18. Just luke Audie Murphy.

[malokvale77]

21. Poor guy?

Nobody is forcing him. He is either an idiot or he is benefiting.

[NuclearDem]

22. Or he maybe, you know, loves her.

[malokvale77]

24. That is where the idiot part comes in.

Most people with half a brain would have avoided the encounter to begin with.

[NuclearDem]

27. You've got so much cred.

Much more than me. I don't sufficiently hate everything connected to the last name Palin yet; after all, I did wish a couple well for their wedding.

[malokvale77]

29. My only cred comes from people who know me.

You are the only one who brought up hate here.

[NuclearDem]

30. A wedding? How wonderfu--oh wait, it has the Palin family attached to it?

Grr, it must be a Tea Party thing. Doesn't that guy know how much we're supposed to hate those people?!

Grr.

[malokvale77]

33. You are funny.

I must admit, I think the Palin family represents the worst of America.

I feel it unfortunate that they breed.

I have never thought weddings were events to celebrate, including my own.

By the way, I saw the SGT on Letterman. He didn't seem too bright. So sue me.

[Warpy]

32. Not unless they move to Vermont.

Or maybe Uruguay, someplace with a lefto government and population to keep electing it.

[840high]

15. I wish them much happiness.

[3catwoman3]

20. Where does a sergeant...

...get enough money for a rock like that?

[malokvale77]

25. Heh

Makes me wonder who is funding the whole affair. Who is benefiting from it all.

It looks like a big publicity stunt to me. Maybe SGT. Meyer is the next Teaparty hopeful.

[stevenleser]

26. Might not be that expensive depending on color, clarity and cut and other aspects

A diamond in the lowest category of each dramatically lowers the price. You really can't tell from that picture how good of a stone it is.

[mwrguy]

34. Dark money

Koch bros buy him nice rock, hold it over his head when he inevitably runs for office.

[hack89]

35. He has been a civilian for five years.

between his job, the book he co-wrote and speaking engagements he makes more than a sergeant.

[anne neville]

40. Sometimes a family helps out.

In my case, I used the diamond in my mother's ring but in a new setting.

[gwheezie]

28. I wish them well

I remember reading an interview with Bristol after she had the baby. She was trying to make it on her own. She was working and trying to go to school. She said she wanted to go to nursing school but couldn't afford it. At the time Sarah was selling books and going on speaking tours and I thought what the hell is wrong with that woman. Why wouldn't she foot the bill for school? Was she trying to prove some kind of point? That girls didn't need an education? Or if you get pregnant you should pay a price by having you hopes and dreams crushed? Who would do that to their daughter?

[scscholar]

31. Well, that is the way of their kind

I wouldn't expect anything different.

[trumad]

36. Oh fuck Bristol Palin...

[sammythecat]

39. Thank god

I thought I was the only nasty curmudgeon here.

[greymattermom]

37. kissing before marriage?

Other stuff before marriage? Will Michelle Duggar start making calls about them?

[davidpdx]

42. The guy is an idiot

Good luck on the darkside, you are going to need it.

[Vinca]

43. The guy has my sympathies marrying into that family.

If there's a "hate gene," they surely have it.
