Palin: Bristol Was, In Fact, Named After ESPN Studio Location
Friday, February 6th, 2009
The thought that all sports fans had upon hearing the name of Palin’s most pregnant daughter has, in fact, been confirmed: “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.” This line of logic also explains why there are so many children of waitresses named “Hollywood.” [Esquire]
