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

wrong: thank you for insulting a baby born with Down Syndrome. I bet that makes you feel like a real man!
Athena: I don't know about Palin being a good person, but it's not Trig's fault that she chose to have a baby after the age of 40, thereby massively increasing the chances of having a child with Down Syndrome, nor is it his fault that she has carried him around like a trophy to improve her political image.
I can't believe I even have to say this: don't be mean to the baby!!
Shut up! I know two families with downs syndrome children. You people with the snide comments can't hold a candle to either of these families. I can almost guarantee it by your tone.
I've known many of these children and they are a delight. Much smarter in ways that you can only imagine being barely human as you are.
Sheesh. I don't about "people" like you.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but have you seen the size of that kid's head? He's fat. Downs Syndrome is a hoot. I mean, lighten up! The retard will never see this. Cuddly little mongoloid he is. That fat, retarded kid is old and looks like E.T. The Palins love holding that freak up for the cameras. And you may not agree with what I have to say, but, several wax museums are already putting in bids for the bust of that cranium. Being mean to babies is fun.
This has gone way beyond midget tossing. Apologize. Now.
wrong, indeed. I'm the farthest thing from a Palin apologist, but c'mon! wrong, you are stepping way beyond the pale, here. It's one thing to rip on people who can defend themselves, but a kid! Less classy than Joe McCain in traffic.
I am against Palin and McCain as much as I could be, but come on people! Trig is an innocent baby who did not ask to come here and has no control over the hand he was dealt. Lets remain human first shall we, leave Trig out of our adult BS. I think fat babies are adorable! And its not like he's one of those Maury babies so what if he's a little fatty. All GOD's babies are beautiful! No matter what they are all beautiful. Lets not loose focus, lets leave baby Trig alone. GOD bless him … Now vote for Obama!
@hilo08 and DaveW: Politely I disagree. Why do you think the author is calling the kid "fatty." Because he's a fatty fat kid and she likes to make fun of babies? No. Yes, in part. She is sarcastically making fun of media for covering this for one, and, also it implicitly points out the lunacy by using the word "fatty." Also, I'm tired of the politicization of this child. A child with Downs Syndrome. A child they injected into the spotlight and use as a pawn in the politicization of issues for children with special needs Palin doesn't even support. (like the fruitfly experiment and funding for the Disability Act). Humbly, I stand by my position, making fun of babies is neat. Especially one's with humongo frontal lobes. For they deserve no federal funding according to Palin.
Oh cut it out. You know damn well you're trying to get a rise.
That's ok. I'm getting used to it.
Enough. I appreciate the irony of Palin appearing before an audience of parents of children with special needs, and then raising objection to funding for fruit fly research — which research has already resulted in discovery of a protein thought to be associated with incidence of (I believe) autism. One still does not drag the children themselves into the argument. And who cares how much the youngest Palin child weighs? He's not running for office, he's off limits. It certainly isn't his fault his mother shamelessly exploits her family to further her ambition. That makes HER fair game, not them.
She's not exploiting her child. She had her life just as it is before McCain came into the picture. She takes her kids everywhere with her. She and her husband actually love each other.
Maybe you're more "sophisticated"? Too boring maybe? Good for you if that's what you want in life. I'd rather have what they have.
