    She proves anyone is capable of being governor.......anyone. Its not hatred.....its the utter loss of understanding that anyone would seriously consider her to lead anything.

    Today from the Washington Post....Levi Johnston, Giving the Palins a Mud Bath

    -- Sarah Palin urged the teenage couple to let Todd and her adopt the baby they were expecting; Johnston theorizes that this was because she didn't want people to know her daughter got pregnant. "She was nagging -- she wouldn't give up."

    -- The governor is not the outdoorswoman she seemed: "I've never seen her touch a fishing pole. She had a gun in her bedroom and one day she asked me to show her how to shoot it. I asked her what kind of gun it was, and she said she didn't know."

    -- But no bookworm either: "Once in a blue moon, I'd see her reading a book, and I've never even seen her read a newspaper in my life. The Frontiersman and the Anchorage Daily News were always there in the morning, but the only one who looked through them was Todd."

    -- The Palins slept apart (Todd "in the living room, on his little black recliner, with the TV going in the background -- usually with the news or an Ultimate Fighting Championship match on -- wearing clothes he wore that same day") and dropped the "d" word when fighting ("Todd would say, 'All right, do you want a divorce? Is that what you want? Let's do it! Sign the papers!' They'd either stop and be fine or Sarah would go to her room. That's just how it was with them.")

    -- Sarah Palin seemed to dote more on her new grandson, Tripp, than on her own infant, Trig. "Sarah has a weird sense of humor. . . . Sarah would call Trig -- who was born with Down syndrome -- 'my little Down's baby.' . . . and sometimes say, playing around, 'No, I don't want the retarded baby -- I want the other one,' and pick up Tripp. That was just her -- even her kids were used to it."

    Why do media outlets keep giving that kid money to talk?

    It takes a special kind of prick to publicly trash your kid's grandparents (whether it's true or not).

    Seems he had a bone to pick and I gather if money wasn't offered he wouldn't be heard from at all. It does give a bit of insight to the world of the Palins. All that has happened to the Palins in the last year has to affect their marriage in one way or another.

    With the exception of the quote regarding the "retarded one", I don't think there's anything written here that people didn't already suspect. It's been overtly apparent to me that she is a liar and not the person she attempted to portray.

    The comment about the downs syndrome baby, however, is heartbreaking and beyond what I have imagined her to be. :evil:

    As a mom to a daughter with Down Syndrome, I agree, reading this part is purely heartbreaking to read...whether it's true or not. It's no secret that Palin's done nothing for those with special needs in Alaska, however. She's cut funding for special ed. twice in the last few years.

    Grammar Police! Do you mean, "We who lean?" You have added the word whom to most of your posts in this thread. You should see the Spelling and Grammar thread in AET.

    When someone knocks at the door, do you ask, "Whom is it?"
    Do you correct the title of the show Doctor Who by calling it Doctor Whom?
    Do you refer to a band called The Whom?
    Should PJ be singing Whom We Are?
