Nancy French uses Bristol Palin's blog to congratulate herself for raising a black child. Update!

I have sort of decided to avoid Bristol's ghostwritten blog because, well because it is usually a complete waste of time.  However I happened to receive an e-mail alerting me to the fact that there was this rather bizarre post on there yesterday. So I held my nose and went over to take a look, and found THIS.

The above picture is of Bristol standing next to Nancy French with Nancy's children gathered round.

Here is what was written on the blog:

My mom delivered an amazing speech, Occupy Wall Street tried to interrupt her talk, and reporters were everywhere. (In other words, it was a lot of fun!) However, the Huffington Post posted video of Nancy and her family between the speeches. Immediately, there were over a thousand very hateful comments. 

Why? Nancy and her husband David have three kids – two who are her biological kids and one she adopted from Ethiopia. Believe it or not, the liberal HuffPo readers were angry that Nancy – a Republican – would raise a black child.

Now I did not see the post on the Huffington Post (If anybody finds it let me know), but I am a little confused as to WHY "liberals" would have a problem with a person adopting a child, regardless of their ethnicity or skin color.  That does not sound like us.

However what REALLY caught my attention was that, as we know, this post was written by Nancy French, who is essentially defending Nancy French against those damn "liberals" for criticizing her for daring to adopt an African American child.

I don't know, but writing under somebody else's name, while pimping how non-racist and open minded you are for adopting a black child, just feels all kinds of wrong to me.

And if that were not bad enough, then Nancy posted a link to the blog she writes under her REAL name and continued patting her non-racist self on the back:

Are my husband and I Republicans? Yes. And we also love our little black child. I’m learning, for example, how to braid hair with colorful beads, I’m learning which colors look good against her chocolate colored skin tone, and I’ll teach her about her country of origin right after she learns her ABCs. 

("I'm learning which colors look good against her chocolate colored skin." Really?)

Is it just me, or is there something very defensive and sort of creepy about how she speaks about caring for this, I am sure wonderful, addition to her family?  It almost sounds to me like she is speaking about a project, or an experiment she is attempting, rather than a human being.

But perhaps I am reading too much into this.

What I am not imagining however is that Nancy is clearly using Bristol's name, and reflected fame, to drive visits to her blog and attract a bigger audience for HER personal issues.

In other words the family of users and grifters, is also being used. for grifting. Not sure that is a bad thing actually.

Update: Okay here is the post that was on Huffpo back in February that French is bitching about. (H/T to Kajo for the find.)

The little girl, Naomi is her name, is wearing a shirt that says "I Only Cry When Democrats Hold Me." So essentially Nancy was using her as bait to attract negative comments, and then turned around and played the victim while hiding behind her adopted child.

Gee, NO WONDER she was attracted to the idea of working for the Palins!
