quote:

"a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child,"

See, this sticks out to me. I've never seen the original picture before seeing it on Something Awful Dot Com, and I don't find it terribly moving or profound, certainly not an iconic representation of anything in any sense.

It's as though they're trying to tout her as some kind of retard baby Madonna.

Really, how much harder is it to take care of a baby with Downs than any regular baby? It's when they get older that they become a handful, at which point I guarantee you that she puts lil' Trig Paxson Van Palin into an institution to let them raise him instead.

Look at her hand. It's not positioned in a comforting or motherly manner - it's just kind of cupped over her child. Kind of like those courtesy hugs that are stiff and awkward. Her face looks a little disgusted or put off. Every picture I've seen of her and her baby, she looks like she's rejecting him.

I don't know. It doesn't look natural or mommy-like.

It's what I do.

when i saw this picture, it made me jump to the conclusion that at one time, hellbastard thought about entertaining the notion that he may or may not actually have had sex with the governor. That, or she stole his seed.
Both possibilities are nightmare inducing.

'It' is the appropriate pronoun for 'picture'.

Not if she is referring to Palin's behavior rather than Palin herself, which judging from the context she is.

Or it could have implied a comedic misunderstanding, leading from my reading of that post as if Sarah Palin herself does not look natural or mommy-like; and so from the ironic correction of a mistake that was never there, a hilarious juxtaposition twixt meaning and intent blossoms in the mind of the reader.

Oh the burning glory and hidden truths in these pictures!

And deciding to jump on the opinion train "The only train with no drat destination." When you go into politics, you instantly become a hooker. You may be a hooker with a heart of flint/gold (Bob Dole) A lying crack hoe that just begun showing those rotten teeth (recent Edwards affair) or a burned out ol' madam (Ted Kennedy). Any side of the fence, any time of the day, sell that rear end.

You parade your family around, you get photoshopped into oblivion, suck it up or get a job you are better at like a hockey goalie.

And these carrer politicians have plenty of paid flunkys making excuses for them, save your enegry and go play some TF2. Whoa that sounds like a good idea *zips off*

Even worse, somehow the part of my brain that does that kind of crap was slightly ahead of the rest of my brain, so it seemed like I heard PeeWee scream before I realized I had seen him. It felt like he had screamed and that made me look.
