Bristol Palin Goes Toe to Toe With a Dude at Saddle Ranch (Watch)

By James Sheldon on September 23rd, 2011

Caught wind of this video, and while I’ve sworn to never again write about the momma bear, how could I not write about Bristol bear?

I can’t say that I dislike this girl, having never met her. I can also say that about 6.1 billion other people in the world who are going about their business, whether attempting to influence others or keeping it to themselves. Chances are our conversation would dwindle within two minutes…but I hate to be presumptuous.

Digressing.

This exchange. This verbal barrage. Chick (Palin) is riding the mechanical bull at Saddle Ranch. After Palin Jr. gets tossed from the saddle, some dude lets loose at the bar. You’ll hear below. Woo! Spitting venom.

For maybe 5 or 6 seconds I was really impressed with the way Bristol handled things. You may hate her, but you can’t deny this girl has had her feet held to the fire. In fact, I would venture to say that momma bear plunged Jr’s feet into the hot coals without really offering much consideration to the development of a young adult’s social life or emotional health. In that sense I want to lean toward the guy at the bar, but…he was a prick.

Then Bristol had to make it a gay thing vs. momma thing and I lost interest. I thought it might get really interesting. That she’d school a drunk a-hole who honestly deserved a schooling. Or some therapy. Probably both. But it fizzles. It does boast intrigue however. Do enjoy.
