Psst. Sarah! Over here! If you didn't want your kids to be in the political arena, maybe your shouldn't have tossed them in there in the first place and touted your motherhood as viable political experience.
Ugh... Hopefully if she is given enough rope she will do in her own political career with her repugnant Jerry Springer approach... I'm Canadian but, like the whole world, we are so effected by US politics. Plus, if she looks the other way, she can see my country from her house... Also I hear she shoots Canadians from helicopters.
@Ellabella: She keeps mistaking us for wolves. (I'm both Canadian and a US citizen - she's going to shoot me and then attempt to run my other country. Help.)
Palin on Hillary Clinton, "When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or, you know, maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, man, that doesn't do us any good. Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don't think it's, it bodes well for her -- a statement like that."
@DuckDuckGoose: Well... it's not that well done. And that's about the worst I can say about it. (Seriously, they couldn't find a face that would fit better than that?)
Apparently this is the 'Lady who cried malicious desecration' method of campaigning. It didn't work so well for that boy and the wolf, why would it work for Palin?
If you don't want your kids' photos to be out there in the media, don't hold your kids up on stage at major media events. Also? They photoshopped a face of a person whose opinions Palin ostensibly agrees with into the photo - it's not like they drew satanic emblems all over the baby. Someone needs to put their big girl panties on.
Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. As much as I hate, hate, hate that she uses her family as a political prop, I'd like us to be the bigger people and not use them to make jokes. The way she uses her kids in the media is bad enough.
On the other hand, I'm getting really tired of her acting like a child every time she's attacked, criticized or lampooned. Most of her responses to these are better off in a middle school bathroom. I have never wanted to scream "GROW UP!" so much at one person. She is so whiny, so insolent, and just downright pathetic.

@AthertonMerriweather: Never, as far as I can tell. In the election of 1800 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams slung all sorts of mud at each other. I believe bestiality may have been alluded to.
She did not fucking say that did she? For the love of Bob. This woman reduced the funding for Alaska's Special Olympics, doesn't believe in abortion in any case, considers gay marriage an abomination and stood there allowing people to spew the most disturbing and hateful epithets about Obama without so much as saying a damn thing (which her running mate did manage to do more than once). I'm all for tolerance but she needs to smacked over the head with it repeatedly before I even begin to consider tolerating her.
@EkaterinaBallerina: oh yes she did, well her spokeswoman said: "Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child.
The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling. To learn that two Alaskans did it is absolutely sickening. Linda Kellen Biegel, the official Democrat Party blogger for Alaska, should be ashamed of herself and the Democratic National Committee should be ashamed for promoting this website and encouraging this atrocious behavior.
Babies and children are off limits. It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."
note the use of the words: atrocious, degeneracy, iconic, malicious desecration
@notheretomakefriends: Note that they don't actually describe what the 'shopped image involves - they're hoping people will imagine it's something really, really horrible without actually looking at it.
@BabyJane: @curiousgeorgiana: Perhaps we can encourage media outlets to take a vote, a la eOnline's Speidi poll. The media should stop covering this woman until she does something newsworthy such as dropping her campaign against my uterus.

Just like Letterman's joke was about BRISTOL AND A-ROD AND SPITZER, AND NOT THE 14-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
Geez, she makes me shouty.
