Bristol Palin named after ESPN headquarters

Two meanings in Bristol's name: I worked at the Bristol Inn, and Todd grew up in Bristol Bay. But also, Bristol, Connecticut, is the home of ESPN. And when I was in high school, my desire was to be a sportscaster. ESPN was just kicking off, just getting off the ground, and I thought that's what I was going to do in life, is be one of the first woman sportscasters. Until I learned that you'd have to move to Bristol, Connecticut. It was far away. So instead, I had a daughter and named her Bristol.

Thank goodness this moron lost. This country dodged that bullet!

The best part is the quote from the Mayor of Bristol Conneticut:

Bristol Mayor Art Ward tells the local paper that it's probably for the best that Palin stayed in Alaska.

"You can't see Russia from here," he said.
