Beck, to his credit, actually asks why Palin has pushed her children so aggressively into the public spotlight: "My kids are left alone. I mean, but I just don't, I don't ever, ever put them in front of a camera. You know, anybody takes a picture of my kids, I go all TSA on them."

<snip>

What Palin has done is use her children, having failed to actually rear them. She is still doing it on her reality show. That she has gone so far as to use and thereby abuse a child with Down Syndrome whose interests are clearly in seclusion, careful nurturing and care, and constant parental attention, tells you a huge amount. So does this:

Her young son, Trig, was to have an operation — routine but still worrisome — on the Friday before Election Day, and so the mother was loath to commit to anything. Trig’s procedure went well. That evening, Palin’s political adviser, Andrew Davis, pulled an all-nighter arranging for her to make a Saturday drop-in on behalf of John Raese, the West Virginia senatorial candidate who was trailing the Democratic nominee, Joe Manchin, the popular governor.
Yes, she left her two-year-old with Down Syndrome after a "worrisome" operation to campaign half the world away the next day, to save a far right candidate who lost. But she didn't leave Trig behind on a late-night stop in her red-state tour to promote her last book.

1. She put them in that position.

8. A-f'ing-men!

That is all.

3. From the point where she was selected as McCain's albatross . . . (I mean running mate) . . .

She thought she'd been given a lifetime have-it-both-ways, get-out-of-jail-free, if-I-say-it-it's-true license to do whatever she bloody well pleased.

Occasionally she gets that alternate universe Sally Fields look on her face that says "You really don't like me?" and has to take herself out for a good pout.

Yes, Sarah, we really don't like you.

4. More like McCain's Dodo

5. Stage moms don't get to have that specific brand of whine

[Terra Alta]

6. Never thought I'd say it

but Glenn Beck is right.

Sarah, dear, if you want the media to leave your kids alone, stop using Trig as a prop, stop hauling them in front of a camera for your "reality" show, tell Bristol she needs to stop doing dancing shows, and tell Willow to stop posting homophobic comments on Facebook.

It isn't the media that is putting Sarah's kids in the spotlight -- it is Sarah herself.

7. She doesn't ever put them in front of the camera?

So the kids in her TV show are rented?

[Skittles]

9. it's what happens when you pimp them out on national TV

hilarious, coming from a fame and money whore

[Raine]

10. So STOP PUTTING THEM ON THE FUCKING TV

IDIOT!!!!!! :silly:

[UTUSN]

11. So, "media" pays more attention to her kids than she and Tawd do?!1

That's what Levi said and I believe him. Quitter didn't pack their lunches or make their b'fast or dress them. Has Quitter ever sued him for defamation?!1

[KeyserSoze87]

12. Then stop putting them on TV, dipshit!

I can't believe this total waste of oxygen could become president in 2012. If she gets elected, this country deserves to go bankrupt for being so stupid.
