Palin's pissed off again

Posted By on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 4:18 PM

Sarah Palin really needs to get over herself. Not satisfied with bashing David Letterman for cracking a  joke about her daughter, now she’s raising hell about a political blogger in Alaska who photo-shopped an image of a conservative talk show host, Eddie Burke, onto the head of a baby being held by Palin. The blogger was designating that Burke is just a little too pro-Palin for the blogger’s taste. Now, though, the Alaska governor has jumped on her self-righteous-indignation horse again, saying that the baby in the original photo was her latest, Trig, who is a special needs child, and thus that photo shouldn’t have been “desecrated” (her words) for political purposes. Sarah, it’s like this: if you parade your family around as political props and mascots — including inserting Trig into your acceptance speech at the GOP convention, for God’s sake — you have no just cause to complain now. I don’t know if Palin is really as thin-skinned as she appears to be; probably not. But her “poor pitiful me” act is no doubt helping her with the educationally challenged crowd that thinks she comes close to resembling a competent leader. But let's cut to the chase here. There are lot worse things on the net about Palin than having some guy’s head photo-shopped onto your baby’s picture. In fact, here’s one for you. It was designed by someone who sees Palin’s Christian, anti-abortion, pro-war schtick as a great way to provide soldiers for any upcoming wars. Enjoy.
