In September of 2008, Palin announced that her daughter Bristol was five months pregnant by a Paraguayan soccer player named Felipe, who was in the country illegally and has since been convicted of smuggling pandas. After having been given the choice, Bristol bravely chose to keep the child, rather than skinning it and selling it for meat as the liberals demanded.
