“The Hill” posted this article under their “Tweets You Need To Read” section. Looks like Gov. Palin does indeed continue to be relevant, contrary to what others might have you believe.

On her Facebook page:

Bristol’s new show “Life’s a Tripp” premieres tonight on the Lifetime channel at 10pm/9c! I think people viewing the show will see how independent and hardworking she is — as is Willow who is shown making the move from graduating high scho…ol early to working and moving on to her next school. Bristol’s show is the antithesis of any glamorization of single parenthood. Hers is a very real life (in fact, the show’s producer recently mentioned that Bristol has a very ordinary job, but that was one of the few places she wouldn’t allowed filmed because it is in a doctor’s office). Single motherhood is shown to be as difficult as it is — especially with the added challenges that come with having people irrationally dislike you. But I think people will also see that Bristol doesn’t see herself as a “victim.” She just deals with the challenges, learns from them, and moves on. The show’s first installment tonight lays the foundation of the show, so it has to delve into some backstory; but the series moves on from all that stuff and becomes a great Alaskana show that keeps getting better as it goes. I hope you’ll join me in tuning in tonight.
