Last month we told you about the party Sarah Palin's family attended in Anchorage, Alaska, that turned into a bloody brawl. In the weeks that followed, some interesting details have leaked out, but nothing has been nearly as interesting as an audio tape TMZ first got its hands on earlier this week. The tape is of Bristol Palin hysterically telling the police her version of what happened. It is a tirade of explicatives with Sarah Palin in the background scolding her daughter for cursing while giving her statement. Bristol's account seems to back up everything we had previously heard about how ugly the drunken fight was.

This whole bit of drama seems to back up what a lot of people have figured for years: The Palins attempt to look the part of political royalty but at the root they are just as dysfunctional as everyone else. Not long after the fight, Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page in support of her scrappy daughter, saying:

"I have to say this as a proud mama: right up there with their work ethic and heart for those less fortunate, my kids' defense of family makes my heart soar! I love my Bristol! My straight-shooter is one of the strongest youngest women you'll ever meet."

Take a listen to the audio of Bristol talking to police and tell us are you surprised by her language given the situation? Do you think she was overreacting to the bloody altercation, or is this one instance of Bristol taking some unwarranted heat from the public? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
