Barack Obama's Mean Hometown Paper Calls Trig Palin a Fatty

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

In light of the ongoing flap about her wardrobe, Sarah Palin sat down for an exclusive interview with the Chicago Tribune to set the record straight-ish: Oh dear no we're really frugal, it's a double standard, we're donating the clothes to charity, gosh darn it, America, priorities, such as too which.

But of course the Chicago Tribune — conveniently located in Chicago, home of gym rat Barack Obama and the svelte terrorists with whom he pals — seized the opportunity to take a cheap shot at the youngest, second-most helpless Palin.

Seems little Trig has been porking it up on the trail, and his figure just isn't what it used to be, har har…

Palin on Thursday granted one of her first newspaper interviews since becoming McCain's vice presidential nominee. She was joined by her husband, Todd, who cradled Trig, noticeably plumper since he was first introduced to the world two months ago.

Why is the mainstream media so sexist toward babies?

  1. You people are all losers….negroid people are black because they've been in the sun too long, caucasoid people are white because they've been in a dark cave for too long, mongoloid people have the face of a person with Downs Syndrome and have you even known a dum Asian, NO!, they're all math wiz brainiacs…you better watch out with your putting Trig down, anybody with Downs, consciously thoughtfully educated well, these people are smart enough, they may be too innocent and trusting and a bum could take advantage of this but they can aquire a good simple understanding of how to survive relatively independently—if we all were more like them we would have less drama and evil between people and that would be a good thing

  2. Wow, so many angry comments jumping to little Trig's defense. Chill, guys. Sure, the observation didn't need to be made and contributed nothing to the article, but c'mon. Relax. They're not making fun of him 'cause he has Downs, they're making fun of him 'cause he's fat.

  3. It doesn't mean anything when a BABY is fat. What's wrong with you?

  4. Look, all I'm saying is this kid is a ginormous, fat, re-re. Soon, these alien-head porkers will be running the world. Corky over there is burdensome on the taxpayer and not part of the America I know. You're right. They don't exploit Trig (note the retarded name). They use that tater-tot as a blanket for the other kid to hide that bun in the oven on national T.V. I am indebted to the good folks at The Chicago Tribune for shedding some light on this fat bastard and inspiring others. This groundbreaking achievement in journalism and photography just shows how relevant the unholy size of this kid is. Did I mention he's retarded and fat and should be thrown down a well?

  5. Well, actually it DOES mean something when an infant is overweight. Overweight infants tend to grow into overweight adults.

  6. "I'd rather have what they have."

    Who wouldn't? Neiman Marcus, here I come.

    Re: fatty trig, he's cute, but if he has Down's, he'll likely never be taking trigonometry in school. Realistically, I'll never be shopping at Neiman with 4 more years of Republican Stain (not that I could before), but it's a pipe dream, I tell 'ya. A freaking Piper.

  7. I don't want the Palins' life, Neiman Marcus or not. I like my life as it is, pretty much, except for the current political climate. There's only one thing I would change about my life. I would have begun voting Democratic much earlier than I did!

    Oh. wrong — I just re-read the last 3 lines of your 12:26 AM post. Your satire is heavy-handed but (finally) makes its point with me. It is no more cruel to ridicule special-needs children than it is to refuse federal funding to address their needs. The logical extension of conservative policies is to roll back funding for all "welfare" programs. This is what die-hard conservatives devoutly wish, and it would deny support to millions of the most vulnerable in our society, especially ALL kinds of children.

    A society's greatness is measured by how well it cares for its weakest and most vulnerable members. We will be great again, as a people, when we act consistently on this principle. Thank you, "wrong," for prodding us to righteous indignation.

  8. Hmmm. If I suddenly became morally bankrupt, I'd say "Let's sacrifice the fat little retarded baby to Moloch. We got to get some population control going here. Bring back human sacrifice."

    Moses might have a bit of a problem with that, go off and break some stone tablets over out heads or something. We'd probably have to do our business before he came down from the mountain.

  9. Goodnight sweet, fat, retard. Goodnight.

  10. News Flash: The Chicago Tribune is a pro-Republican newspaper. Always has been.
