Palin family portrait. On picture worth a thousand words? Look away, Bristol, look away.

[havocmom]

Wish her well. There is life beyond toxic parents. Hope she gets away safely. She sure looks uncomfortable where she is.

1. Playboy in 5 years...

[mrmpa]

2. where's her son?

Or was he just for show during campaign time?

[Brother Buzz]

4. He's stored in props, or wardrobe....

I'm not sure. :shrug:

[NNN0LHI]

8. Didn't a judge give him a one-way ticket to Iraq?

[Robyn66]

3. Where is Trig?

She didn't want her favorite accessory in the picture?

[Jeanette in FL]

5. Neither grandsons are in the official family portrait

Just saying

[MrsBrady]

15. that's an older photo, it's not a current one

I remember seeing that way before either young boy was born.

[Gman2]

6. Pity poor Trig, the only way he will ever get away, is in a balloon.

How long till her reality show has a balloon?

[LeftinOH]

7. Where are the boys? You know- Dash, Bolt, Blitzen, etc.

[Robyn66]

9. Remington, Ruger, AK47 (nt)

[Raschel]

11. Isn't this an old pic?

[Raschel]

10. Wow, what a diverse family! Well, that's what Palin claims.

[lame54]

12. for bristol, the light just went on

[havocmom]

14. That's what I was thinking. The nebulous cloud of discomfort might clear yet.

I hope so, for her sake.

What can I say? Just a hopeless romantic always keeping faith in the power of personal redemption. No young person should be in hell because of parents.

[City Lights]

13. IIRC, that pic was taken before Trig was born. nt

[MrsBrady]

16. yep, you are right n/t

[Sub Atomic]

17. I can't wait until her family portrait looks like this one:

[gratuitous]

18. Hey now!

That's one of the frontrunners to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012. Not the pouty little girl holding the doll, the other one behind the microphone.

[Sub Atomic]

20. I can see my campaign signs for him now!

Vote for the frothy biproduct of anal sex or else the little girl will cry again!

LOL

[EFerrari]

19. She looks like she's holding her breath.

[951-Riverside]

21. He's probably banging all of them n/t

[tammywammy]

22. That's an old photo n/t

[Javaman]

23. "Is everybody ready?"

todd: where's bristol?

failin: christ on a cheese doodle. BRISTOL!!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!!

(Bristol from upstairs)
Bristol: I'm nursing the baby!

failin: (under her breath) oh for fuck sakes.

(to todd)
failin (cont'd): she knew this was important to me! That demon spawn can wait five fucking minutes for that little sluts tit!

todd: failin honey, be nice, after all she took the heat for your kid, right?

failin: what the fuck does that even mean? And it's our kid!

todd: yeah, right (air quotes) "our" kid.

failin: screw you, anyway, she's been nothing but trouble with a capital T!

The other kids mill about adverting their eyes, looking at the floor, stressed out.

Bristol makes it down the stairs.

failin: you, photo guy, snap to it! we won't have but a minute, so get it right the first time!

Photographer: Yes, ma'am.

failin: that's governor, to you bub!

Photographer: (under breath) you quit...(louder) yes, governor.

Bristol walks over to the group, much like a winter fisherman testing the ice.

failin: get your ass over here already! I'm not enjoying this anymore than you are.

Bristol: (under breath) I doubt that...

Photographer: okay, everyone smile, say, Caribou!

FLASH

failin: Wait! WAIT! I think we need another one.

Bristol: (under breath) oh for christ sakes.

failin: I heard that young lady! Now take the picture again.

Bristol thinks to herself: no one said I had to smile and the photographer doesn't give a shit, he just wants an easy paycheck. fuck mommy dearest.

FLASH

failin: (pasted on smile) now was that so bad?

Everyone quickly leaves the room, leaving failin and the photographer by themselves. The photographer nervously packs away his equipment when failin saunters over to him.

failing: So...those are some long lenses there...

photographer (thinks to himself): help me, god!
