Why would the Palin family drag that poor infant out onto the stage well past midnight amid flashing lights, noise and distruption?  Wouldn't that be upsetting for any normal infant that age?  (and I'm assuming that a special needs infant might need additional care in establishing normal sleep, feeding an waking schedules.)  I only know that my developmentally normal kids benefitted from a daily routine which included plenty of scheduled sleep...midnight would definitely be in the "time range" of normal sleep times. 

As a mother of 3...less than Sarah Palin, admittedly...her mothering choices for that baby are scandalous.  Where are the family values in trotting an infant out past bedtime for a photo-op? Doesn't the McCain campaign pay for a nanny?  Can't Cindy cover that?

The way I look at it, if these people (Republicans) want to have a say in how I manage my reproductive choices, then why can't I have a say about the shitty way they are rearing their children.

Bastards. 

Instead of "Mother, Moosehunter, Maverick"  I think they should have branded her as a "Ditsy, Dumbshit, DooDah"

I've had conversations with non-native, English speaking taxi drivers in Singapore that reflect a deeper understanding of foreign policy, economics, English literature, and well, practically everything.

Where's the Gong!  Can't we bang her off the stage?
