And I was so sure those crazy kids would make it. Or wait, did I mean the opposite of that.

Bristol Palin and quote-fiancé-unquote Levi Johnston no longer affianced.

Oh noes! They were, like, the epitome of romance.

Durrrrr, who could have seen THAT coming? ;)

Of all the reasons to be glad McCain/Palin didn't win, this is probably the absolute least significant one... but I'm still kind of relieved that two *kids* weren't forced into getting married just to throw a bone to the far right. (Of course, I guess I'm assuming that they *would've* gotten married if McCain/Palin had won, but who knows? It wouldn't be the first thing said on the campaign trail that didn't get followed through on afterwards; maybe the plan was always to wait until people got distracted and quietly call the whole thing off.)

I'm so mean. I find this absolutely LOLarious.

Who had March 11th in the pool?

Also, this.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

yeah, well, the moment there was The Pregnancy, there was The Shotgun Wedding... the whole thing was a fucking travesty.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Indeed exactly yes.

[greywingnut.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And to echo liviapenn, it's a small relief that the other shoe has finally dropped and they (and their child) won't be subjected to a sham marriage. Now we can completely forget about the whole thing.

Too bad they can't. Ugh.

This.

I love the word 'affianced.'

That is all.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

And I so rarely get to use it!

I knew I smelled powder when that marriage-to-be was announced. (And I don't mean the kind that goes on a baby's bottom.)

Hear, hear.

Oh, thank goodness! I was so worried they were actually going to force that poor girl to marry him.

I believe the first work in which I ever encountered 'affianced', and indeed the only place I've witnessed its use, was in the Shaw play Arms and the Man. A particular favorite of mine in high school....which seems an eternity ago. :D

So, what happens to the little Republispawn? That was, after all, the catalyst for their engagement, I believe...Levi was going to Do The Honorable Thing by marrying her, because he couldn't be arsed to Do The Honorable Thing and take preventative measures in the first place.

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

yes.

That girl has dodged a bullet, IMO. She should count her lucky stars!
