What's the difference between Sarah's mouth and her vagina?
Only some of the things that come out of her vagina are retarded.

i like sarah as a person... even her bizarre view of her own lies and control issues surrounding her family... it's entertaining. i like the way she murders the english language trying to sound so proper. i respect her views on abortion, even though they're not even close to mine. i'm ok - with all of it.

what i'm SO not ok with, is her desire for political life. she's great with a baby, not so much with actually "knowin' stuff" our political leaders need to know in order to do the job they need to do.

She said she learned you don't need a title to make a difference. Does that mean she’s become a community organizer, kind of like a governor only with actual responsibilities?

I LOLed, for reals, at the "mauled the face and genitals of entertainment" line. Then again, I'm a little post-work giddy.

@3. What a pathetic joke. Yea Palin is fair game, but her child with Down Syndrome? Come on.

Irony: Sarah Palin's retarded baby is named after the nickname for a type of math.

Curious!

That may have been Oprah at her worst and most disappointing. I hope her show collapses.

"Irony: Sarah Palin's retarded baby is named after the nickname for a type of math."

Specifically the study of triangles. i.e. three sided objects.

Down's Syndrome is also known as trisomy 21, or having three copies of the 21st chromosome.

It's kind of a brilliant name for a Down's baby in a kind of horribly insensitive kind of way. I mean, really, who names their child after it's disability? It's like naming your child with FAS Johnny Walker.

well apparantly they named Trig's middle name "Van" because Van Palin sounds sooo cool and "kick-ass" like Van Halen.

Yes, they are from Alaska.

I thought it was short for "Trigger".

You know just because Obama sounds good, doesn't mean he is going to be good for us????????? Palin is a wonderful woman with all the qualities that we need in a leader. I think she's down to earth and the fact that she lives what she believes makes me believe in her. How strong of a woman she must be to have her son knowing he's going to need more attention because of his differences....and for the people who were so ugly as to talk about her beautiful child....shame on you! I'm sure you are ugly in and out and self loathing. It seems that people that are ugly on the inside usually end up showing it on the outside, from what I've seen. You would have to be to say such hateful remarks about an innocent baby.
