Last night at the Republican National Convention, all eyes (and cameras) were on Bristol Palin, the pregnant 17-year-old daughter of VP candidate Sarah Palin. As if spending the evening surrounded by thousands of morally indignant Republicans wasn’t awkward enough, she was also forced to spend the entire convention holding hands with Levi Johnston, her baby’s father who she is now engaged to.

The Palin clan is continuing the great tradition of the “shotgun wedding,” when a woman (or her family) demands marriage in response to an unplanned pregnancy. Check out some of the most memorable forced unions from the last 500 years.

“I hear Bristol’s got a baby, but Bristol’s barely got a brain…”

Should we be shocked that young Bristol Palin, daughter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, is preggers at 17? History has shown that powerful people'whether they be performers, preachers, or, in this case, politicians'end up with daughters who become either total prudes or total party animals.

All those hours of hard work leaves little time for proper parenting, which is why Bristol isn’t the first high-profile politician’s daughter to engage in scandalous behavior. With our exclusive Joe Francis meter, we decided to rate the misdeeds of political daughters, past and present.
