TeamSarah is linking to this thread, it was only a matter of time.

Digg it (Links to wonkette but wonkette links back to here)

First, fellow goon Oglethorpe set up a blog and added the pictures "in case it gets big" (easy to tweet)

Then, Linda Biegel linked back to us when Google pointed us out

From there it was posted to Wonkette, where they had this to say:

Wonkette.com posted:

Palin basically poked a stick in the world’s largest beehive filled with cheap & tireless insanity, and the SomethingAwful.com goons have unleashed a pack of Photoshop Dogs From Hell to make the most incredible collection of Sarah Palin Desecration Images in the History of Time, the end.

Next, mancouch.com picked up on some of the action.

Schnoo over at Newsvine decided to make a post, and there are several comments there, too

Legal Insurrection decided to get their feet wet! (watch out for the fundie wackos!)

CNN posted:

A week after a high-profile uproar with comedian David Letterman over the late-night host's joke about her daughter, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is again sharply responding to the appearance of her children in the public sphere.

Palin's latest response comes after liberal Alaskan Blogger Linda Kellen Biegel doctored a photograph of the former Republican vice presidential candidate with her 1-year-old son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome.

Biegel, who blogs in support of the Alaska Democratic Party under the name "Celtic Diva," superimposed a picture of conservative Alaskan radio host Eddie Burke over Trig's face in an apparent effort to show how close the radio host is with the Alaskan governor.

"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," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."

This is the original picture in question, although there is a longer version:



I can't find the full-length picture, though.

http://www.divasblueoasis.com/ is the blogger in question.

CNN had the following picture which shows the photoshop in question, but I can't seem to find a decent original:



There was a link to something in the CNN article that is not available, I think it may be the photoshop in question. However, one I have seen floating around is this one, which is Letterman (thanks for letting me know!):



I don't think what Biegel did was in any way immoral. It's not like Biegel was making fun of her kid. I thought it was an interesting way to show the relationship Palin has with conservative radio in Alaska. :10bux: says palin would have reacted to any photo of her with a baby.

This is just begging for some kind of goon intervention. I'm sorry to say that I am absolute poo poo with photoshop and should not be allowed to touch it, but I hopefully have given you all the necessary material to get the job done.

Oglethorpe posted:

Another photo to use if you guys want a new perspective.

I think she was calling the radio guy retarded, and that may or may not be a little over the line, in that she used her legitimately handicapped infant son to reflect that.

If you're talking in generalities, approximately half of the nation did last year. Quite a bit less than half from an electoral college standpoint.

She's just keeping herself in the news, that's all.

I don't think anyone's taking her seriously anymore; the Republican Party would have to be crazy (er than they are already) to put her on the ticket. Right now she's more of an amusing joke. I say she make up for those months of hell she put us through with sheer entertainment value.

I'd actually agree with her... if she wasn't completely missing the mark.

Is it wrong to make fun of her special needs child? No. But that's not what this is, Sarah, it's only making fun of you and some radio host.

I had my fingers crossed, hoping that when Letterman apologized it would go something like "It turns out one of my writers is from the future, and he pitched that joke a year or two early. Sorry for the confusion."

Every argument sarah palin makes about anything is just like this.

"the liberal media hates me because of my conservative family values... they don't treat hillary clinton like that."
No Bitch, Its because you're really stupid. They don't treat Hillary like that because she can answer questions.

Plain and simple - you do not run for the office of vice president on a major party ticket if you want to live a quiet life as a private citizen and not have people scrutinize or laugh at you for stuff.

I'd really like to hear her thoughts on her former runningmate publicly calling Chelsea Clinton ugly, she clearly got over her parental "think of the children :argh:" rage for that one.
