Not to be crowded out of the news, Palin hits back at 'malicious' photo.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

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.

2. For somebody who purports to be so pitbull tough, she sure can't take it
She wanted an apology from David Letterman, and she got it. That only seems to have enabled her further to cry foul every time someone mocks her.

4. The 'p' in "poutrage" stands for 'Palin.' (And "pimping" ... as in "pimping her kids.")
:shrug:

13. Right. Some pitbull.
She must mean never lets go. About the same as a deer tick.

5. I don't like Sarah Palin at all but I do agree with her on this.
That photoshop is over the top and malicious! Really no sense in stooping this low, Republican or Democrat.

7. It's from a freaking blogger.
Is she going to have a press conference every time so random person on the internet says something bad about her? She's just calling attention to something that no one would have known about had she just let it go. But to ignore something that could bring her attention is something that Palin is incapable of doing.

10. The photo made me clutch my pearls and swoon
Thank the christian god there was a fainting couch nearby!

It was a mans face on a baby! Clearly an attempt to insult babies and not pointing out the creepy relationship of a radio host brown nosing a Governor!


Oh! I referenced brown nosing! That's a nose in another persons butt, I'm feeling faint again... Swoonnnnn <thud>

14. Absolutely agree with you. It's horrible, disgusting taste and totally uncalled for.
I never have and most likely never will agree with anything coming from Sarah, but as a mother I'm completely with her on this one.

15. Puleeeze!
Crooks and Liars used SAME photo, putting Letterman's face on the baby. Then it appeared on Celtic Diva's blog with Eddit Burke's face on the baby. Eddie Burke is an AK radio host in love with Palin - and Burke is a self-avowed racist. The baby is EDDIE BURKE (who makes Rush Limbaugh look tame). This is about Eddie Burke and his constant promotion of and fantasizing about Sarah - it is NOT about Baby Trig at all! No outrage when Crooks & Liars used the same photo with Letterman's head - more faux outrage from Palin. She is now the joke police and the cartoon police? Can you tell I cannot stand the bitch? Latest news up in AK today is that an iceberg has hit the SS PALIN and that IRS is up there investigating her for embezzlement - please let it stick, this woman is a dangerous, incompetent, menace to society. Makes Blago look like a boy scout.

11. Even worse, there are FACTUAL ERRORS!!! ...
Once I went to a website and it read "The Brady Bunch was on television from 1968 to 1974". It's actually 1969 to 1974!

I had the vapors for days.

16. This is what happens when you turn an airhead beauty queen into a politician.
Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 01:19 PM by Marr
Sarah Palin's business is promoting Sarah Palin. It always has been. That's all she knows.

She seems to have no sense of perspective. She is a Governor, for crying out loud. She should not be responding to every random voice on the internet that offends her. God, I'm almost embarrassed for her.
