In non-Mark Sanford fucking some lady from South Mexico news, attention-whore Snowbilly Princess Sarah Palin took time out from her busy photo-op schedule to complain that someone is photoshop-raping one of her kids:
Sarah Palin is again responding forcefully to a perceived attack on one of her children, this time attacking an Alaska blogger who edited a picture of her and her baby son, Trig, to replace Trig’s face with the image of a conservative Alaska talk show host, Eddie Burke.
Emails Palin’s spokesman Meghan Stapleton:
"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.
The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling. To learn that two Alaskans did it is absolutely sickening. Linda Kellen Biegel, the official Democrat Party blogger for Alaska, should be ashamed of herself and the Democratic National Committee should be ashamed for promoting this website and encouraging this atrocious behavior.
Babies and children are off limits. It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."
The degenerate desecration can be seen here.
Sarah Palin has a Liz Becton-level of sensitivity that will serve her well in the 2012 Republican Presidential primaries providing there are any candidates left who haven’t given up the pursuit of the party’s nomination for the pursuit of nookie.
We now rejoin the Sanford press conference, still in progress..

I guess Sarah’s found her issue: a Constitutional amendment to ban photograph desecration.
“Iconic representation”? Certainly thinks a lot of herself doesn’t she? I prefer to think of that picture as the “Iconic representation of a child’s love for a batshit crazy parent.”, if we’re going to get all “iconic”, you know. ‘Cause, she IS the iconic representation of batshit crazy.
You know.
For someone who placed her last baby at great risk (deferring for ten hours a doctor’s look at a “special needs” baby when the water broke two months early – effectively attempting a “natural” abortion in the same vein as a punch in the stomach) she now goes out of her way to make certain everyone “knows” how sensitive she is.
Yeah, right.
As well as this year’s poster child for missing the fucking point.
Can you believe that this Limp Bizkit video was from almost 10 years ago? Before GW Bush.
I just can’t get over the accelerating passage of time.
OMFG.
Doesn’t the word “desecration” imply that the picture is somehow sacred? Yeah, my butt. Reminds me of the Church Lady talking about the artist known as Madonna!
BTW, I had to explain “snow-billy” to a friend last week. Guess she’s blissfully ignorant of the Media Whore of Babyl-Wasilla.
FunnyWheelieDiva
PS: WTF is up with that jacket in that photo?! It’s worse than the “Playclothes from Drapes” in Sound of Music. Somewhere in Wasilla there’s a butt-ugly sofa missing its upholstery fabric
So who’s going to break it to the Drama Queen of Juneau that Trig wasn’t actually the target of the photoshopped picture and that she looks like a goddamned fool for making hay of this?
yeah … ya beat me to it ..one only desecrates “sacred” things ..
so ..ergo sum .. sarah thinks she’s “sacred” …
splurf !!! naaawwww .. just as she isn’t famous ..more like “infamous”..
The Wasilly Sods won’t be happy until they get a reality show, where they can get all of their necessities paid for openly, instead of needing to take it under the table in the Governor’s mansion. Which reminds me, the next residents of that mansion might want to get the floors sanitized.
Ah, she just loves those lesbian furries. Must be a *whole bunch* of them in Alaska.
“Help I’m being
oppresseddesecrated!”Maybe Sayrah will get that crazy priest from Africa at her church to do some voodoo on that bloggers ass. Jesus is all about the revenge.
Did everyone commenting look at the picture? Palin’s mendacious stupidity is a given, but does it justify anything and everything? Either the execution was criminal, or it was just a really tasteless, bad idea. I’m guessing there were other photos available that would have better accommodated a radio succubus. She wins, she doesn’t care that she sounds crazy to rational adults- crazy is the coin of the realm in the land of Bible Spice.
Cry me a f*ckin’ river! Meghan Stapleton also no doubt believes that the disabled are too delicate for “real life” and thus should be safely “warehoused” where the general public can be spared the unpleasantness and expense of interacting with them. I mean, god forbid that all-American capitalistic businesses should have to install ramps or wheelchair accessible bathrooms, or employers should have to accommodate typists with rheumatoid arthritis or the blind!
As a disabled child (–pre-photoshop–) I can tell you that my worst nightmare was not being made fun of by the other kids; it was the kids of fundamentalist Christians–many of whom I didn’t even know–who came up to me in school and told me point blank: If [I] accepted Jesus Christ as [my] Lord and Savior, [I] wouldn’t have a disability. Make sure you tell Trig how to respond to THAT one!
Sarah’s crusade to right all the wrongs of the world is going quite well, thankyouverymuch, what with her getting Dave Letterman fired and all.
I’m sure photoshopgate will work out fabulously for her.
Dude,
I watched like 30 seconds of that video, absent mindedly, not realizing what it was. You made me listen tol limp biscuit, and for that you shall not be forgiven! This manly man is gonna fuck you up bogg!
if i were her i’d draw as little attention as possible to her “son”
Try explaining that the picture is protected under freedom of speech laws and watch her head explode trying to figure that out.
TMZ and HuffPo are saying that Michael Jackson is dead having succumbed to cardiac arrest. RIP.
…Mark Sanford fucking some lady…
I’ve seen no indication the anonymous Argentine paramour is female.
It would be irresponsible not to speculate. Loudly. And often.
Jeez has it already been a week since Palins been out of the news??
And has anybody asked what Eddie Burke’s mother thinks about him being photoshopped onto Trig??
Palin can’t afford to be classy. She needs the publicity.
Maybe she should find a turkey serial killer to stand next to…for the photo
shop.Also, the fact that it’s Basset Thursday hasn’t escaped my attention. Looking forward to unphotoshopped pix of Houndz of the Diegovilles! Also!
Palin doesn’t know how to be classy.
I’ll bet Caribou Barbie has TiVo’d every episode of “Jon & Kate + 8″ and watches them endlessly, taking notes.
[This = reference to Kate’s rumored many years of list-making re the “free stuff” she wanted to make sure she got via the “reality tv” deal.]
WE DON’T HEAR YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN TO PRONOUNCE SIMPLE WORDS CORRECTLY
Leave her to heaven.
Heaven help her if she ever finds out about this.
Nah, they get the point of the image, and they know it has nothing to do with the child at all. This is just typical political hackwork – take a legitimate attack on how much Palin luurves some talk show host and portray it as an off-limits swipe at a baby.
