The part that troubles me is her use of Trig. He's her most precious set-piece in the family. This isn't to say that she doesn't love him, but does this woman take the time to consider the very real fact that she is using a child with Downs to promote her own political career?
Case in point, this picture:
Ostensibly just a mother and her toddler going to or coming from the SUV caravan or heading out to some presser with family in tow. But does she have to hold Trig that way.
Again, perhaps this is just me, but look at her. Does she know no other way to hold her child other than face-forward? Oh, that's right - the people need to be reminded that you are the mother of a special-needs child. Right. Have to keep up the image, otherwise the people will start to look in another direction.
Certainly, toddlers are resilient and can be bent in canted angles ( always away from mommy's hair though ) or trussed-up by their legs, armpits, and neck if they have to be.
We get it Sarah, Trig has Downs, stop exploiting him. But don't expect everyone to believe that you struggle as most do. Not everyone has the luxury of being in a position where they can afford a staff to help out. But we should all remember this - family is "off limits".
As an aside, here's an intersting tidbit about Palin writing an email as God. No, seriously:
When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father."
