Either way, WTF??

Oh no it wouldn’t. Snowmobiles and wolf hunts from helicopters for EVERYONE.

These benefits will be financed by cutting taxes on Alaskan millionaires. Even though that sounds completely batsh1t crazy as a way of financing government, it “works” for republics.

The wetsuit-n-dildo arm of the republic party disagrees with you

Well, clearly she felt the child was disposable, since she knew he had Down’s already, so it didn’t bother her that she might miscarriage.

Indeed, I bet she was praying for it.

Hi, Billy Mays here for the Power Palin!

Do you have a political nemesis you want called a bitch? I have JUST the tool for you! She slices, she dices, but in the end she gets beaten like a rented mule and stuffed down the toilet!

The true outrage here is her continued failure to PUBLICLY chop open a Cantaloupe, scoop out the seeds, squeeze them between her fingers, and shout, “BRAINS!“.

Just saying.

This post is 1337, with an extra 1. :O

Well, this might make everyone uncomfortable, but Punky Brewster is now fucking HAWT.

True (even after the breast reduction she had at 16), but you do realize that she’s married now (and has spawned, no less), don’t you?

Nope. Nothing like that. I’m just the father of a 15 year old daughter with Down’s Syndrome.

Given what I’ve read about it (follow the links I’ve provided and maybe even look into it for yourself), she knew the condition of the baby (and her doctor strongly advised her against giving the speech or even standing up, for that matter), yet smirked about getting past the airlines observation that would’ve kept her off the plane (this from someone who rails against litigation, right?), rather than checking into a hospital there in Texas.

It’s incomprehensible to me that ANYONE would be so thoughtless and so reckless when they knew they were carrying a baby that was going to have more than enough in life to deal with, all for her own selfish motives. “I was not going to miss that speech,” she says.

Bitch at me about this all you want to, but I will continue to find it an outrage, and a defining moment for the Republican candidate for Vice-President. The public really needs to know who they’re dealing with, in this situation.

Phyllis Schlafly and Debbuh Schlussel to the white courtesy phone, please. Phyllis Schlafly and Debbuh Schlussel. To the white courtesy phone, please.

Thanks, kind internetual stranger, for the lulz…

She’s a creationist. She gave Wasilla a good reaming with her take no prisoners approach to building a sports arena. She was obsessed with saving the Matanuska Maid Dairy – and when she found out she couldn’t fire Creamery Board directors directly, she replaced her entire Agriculture Board with people who would fire the Creamery Board. Later that same year, they sell the dairy anyways – at less than half the asking price.

Her career is short, but there’s plenty to poke fun at without bringing the infant with Down’s Syndrome into it. For Fucks Sake.

Way out of line here, pal. Drop it already.

Here’s one

Another revealing that she knew the baby’s condition:

http://www.patriciaebauer.com/2008/04/21/governor-palin-balances-baby-political-aspirations/

From the Wall Street Journal (of all places):

“Gov. Palin’s opted to board a jet from Dallas in April while about to deliver a child. Gov. Palin, who was eight months pregnant, says she felt a few contractions shortly before she was to give a keynote speech to an energy summit of governors in Dallas. But she says she went ahead with it after her doctor in Alaska advised her to put her feet up to rest. “I was not going to miss that speech,” she says.

She rushed so quickly from the podium afterwards that Texas Gov. Rick Perry nervously asked if she was about to deliver the baby then. She made it to the airport, and gave birth hours after landing in Anchorage to Trig, who is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. “Maybe they shouldn’t have let me fly, but I wasn’t showing much so they didn’t know,” she says.”

They neglected to mention that her water broke, before her speech.

Dude, Trig was like a whole month early. And her fifth child. She thought she knew what she was doing – and having babies is one area where she actually is experienced. Also if women went to the hospital anytime they felt any contractions… No, fuck it – I’m not arguing this – this is fucking stupid. You want to pick on her for having babies you can go and share the big bag of dicks that Alkon’s eating.

Jesus, Mikey, don’t let Brad hear you say that. We’ll get a few more of those panic/despair posts.

I agree with you, tho.

There are a shitload of reasons not to head to the hospital when your water breaks, a woman with five kids has had some serious object lessons in why. I’m not going to moralize on you, it’s just a bad sort of attack and one if you know why you don’t want to tread down.

You aren’t going to get to eat, you are asking for a c-sec at that age, just…leave that alone, not because you being nice but because you are going to make her sypathetic.
