Okay perhaps I was unfair, I mean surely she is much more competent with her OWN babies.
I stand corrected.
Gee I hope that is not something genetic which gets handed down from mother to daughter or anything.
Can't say I am surprised. Of course not being very good with babies does not necessary make you a bad person or anything.
Just not my day for being right is it?
Update: Okay I wasn't going to rub it in, but since so many of you asked...
Great photos & storyline! You should include one the many pics of President Obama holding a perfectly content & happy child. He does seem to have the touch!
ReplyDeleteHa.....you should put up the great pics of Prez and babies......Scarah would seethe.
ReplyDeleteBlows my mind they shit talk Levi.

Good post as usual Gryphen! MCShame was bad with babies too. Off topic but there was an oil spill in Montana early today that dumped oil into the Yellowstone River which is already flooded. I can just hear Quitler's response-Obama's fault and drill baby drill.
ReplyDeleteOh, Gryph, please add a few pictures of the "baby whisperer"... it seems that President Obama has a calming effect upon little ones.
ReplyDeleteI know this will sound horrible, but there is something about Tripp that just creeps me out. Always has. He makes me think of a midget more than a toddler.
ReplyDeleteIs the picture above G W's Bristol? That girl has no boobs, or at least there don't appear to be any.
ReplyDeleteAre there ANY recent pictures of Trig? Where is he any way?
Also too......as per the Bristol post, I came late to the party.
ReplyDeleteMy observation is that Bristol was sexually active for over 2 years, and her parents had no clue? or did one of them get her on BC, my guess would be mamma grizz.
And, then those same two parents throw her into the national limelight as an unwed teen, breaking Christian values......just so Sarah could have a chance to be VP.
What type of parent would do that to their child? What the H, they knew! Why in the world would they do that if they loved her and was such a close knit family??? THAT does not make sense!
And now they have Bristol so brainwashed and browbeaten she caves and says SHE was the one who made ALL the mistakes.
Good Grief!
This family is something else, and to air their dirty laundry in front of our nation and the world is just SO brazen and ridiculous, I hardly have words for how absurd this is.
She looks afraid so afraid to touch the retarded baby she about drops him to the tarmac.

If I was a baby looking at that face of Sarah Palin, I'd scream my head off. She looks as comfortable w/children as a dog who hates kids.
ReplyDeleteLook at the dysfunction in the Palin family...she's obviously been a horrid mother! All you have to do is listen to Bristol's recent interviews - she's a lying sack of shit just like her poor excuse for a mother!
It's true: babies love him.
ReplyDeleteObama's da man.
I have seen no nurturing or adoration in pictures of Mrs P with Trig. Not sure how the baby bingo all plays out but it's been my long suspicion that this child may be Todd's but not hers. She probably guessed her public would forgive her a grandchild out of wedlock blaming a reckless teen but a hubby? She could in no way whitewash that with her type of fans.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the photos of Levi interacting so lovingly with both infants makes me rethink even my crazy theory. When it comes to this family, nothing would surprise me.
How anyone can believe these two are 9 months apart is a dumbass.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "prop baby" she handling there appears to be Ruffles/Triggybear . . . the baby "used" for the official announcement photo.
Tomorrow, all the Alaskan bloggers should put up posts headlined QUITTER'S DAY. That should surely get some Google and press attention...rubbing salt and all.
ReplyDeleteBabies instinctively know who to trust...and it's not Palin..
ReplyDeleteI do not like your caption on the little girl in glasses. I know you were just pointing out Sara's coldness, but this is insesative to this little girl.
ReplyDeleteThat clip with President and Mrs. Obama ALWAYS makes me smile! I love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd doesn't Sarah look all "WTF do I do with this kid?" with poor prop baby Trig? I have no idea why that child chose her for his mother before he incarnated. Must be paying back some big debt to the Universe or something!
I will never tire of the Obama video. If only he could do that to the Republicans! I do love our President.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gryphen, for posting this! There are other videos out there, but this one (for me) is special, because it also shows the intimacy, the gentle teasing between two people who know each other.
ReplyDeleteWe are never as vulnerable as when we love, and as far as I am concerned, that love the Obamas share is obvious in this clip...
And NO, I am far from hero worship of any politician.
i think i may give her a pass on this one. i'm embarrassed to say that most of the babies i hold cry when i take them too. and i did have 2 of my own so i don't know what the deal is. i'm a nice person. REALLY i am! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the thread responding to the pictures of Sarah & Bristol when each was 32-weeks pregnant, one commenter called Palin "Medea" and another responded that perhaps "Medusa" was what was intended.
ReplyDeleteI think Medea is the right comparison. Medea, the wife of Argonaut Jason, was a poisoner, was responsible for the death of her own brother and conspired to have a rival king's daughters kill him (the king), which they did.
I agree with Nana,Gryph,you could have said "developmentally disabled.
ReplyDeleteI love that clip of Barack and Michelle and the baby. But also look how thrilled the young children are to be looking at them, in the front. Darling.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have to agree with Nana@4.59p about labeling that child "retarded". It's not about the girl, it's about Palin.
Woohoo! Love it Gryphen. And to end with "Oh Baby," that is just awesome!
ReplyDeleteOT but this was posted on Mercedes blog a few days ago.

Is this a show of support or a threat?
I say again, the man has soul.
ReplyDeleteFor the record "developmentally delayed" or "special needs" are the terms that I use to describe that particular population.
ReplyDelete"Retarded" is Sarah Palin's term, and one she has used more than once by the way, and so it shall ever be linked with that two-faced liar.
Great video of Obama. Kids obviously feel comfortable with him. The Obamas seem so normal.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama seems to know instinctively what to do with a crying baby and those babies know instinctively to get away from Sarah's clutches.
ReplyDeleteNot all babies are cute and Tripp, IMO, isn't one those cute babies. He reminds me too much of Chuckles.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of Bristol with both boys struck me as oddly familiar, then I scrolled down to the post comparing the infamous 3/14 photo of Palin with a photo of Bristol supposedly pregnant with Tripp. Bingo! Not the exact same face but it sure looks like the two photos were taken around the same time, with Bristol's face looking equally thin & equally mature in both. The comparison highlights what others noted about the "pregnancy" photo, also too: the disconnect between the thin face and big bosom/belly. The empathy belly returns?
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's okay to show off a little, Mr President. After all, "it ain't braggin' if you already done it."
ReplyDeleteHey, has Palin threatened Tripp yet?
ReplyDeleteWhat is up does she not have the money to pay her attorney to send a little notice or is EVERYTHING and more T said true? Perhaps Sarah is willing and ready to throw Todd under also too.
Thanks for all you do. I stop by several times a day to stay current on the latest craziness of all things Palin. I remember you stating that a Babygate book was going to be released this July. Is that still in the works? Keep up the great work..
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's okay to show off a little, Mr President. After all, "it ain't braggin' if you already done it."
ReplyDeleteI just love Michelle's reaction :) They are an adorable couple, and he is just a great President!
ReplyDeleteLove that video! Thanks, Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you included the Obama video. I have always believed you can trust babies and small children judgement about adults. As a small child in the early 50s, I knew Nixon was a crook and was not to be trusted.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of the Obama video with the crying infant. Sasha and Malia must have had a great bonding experience with their dad from the moment they were born. That's important for all kids, but especially girls and their dads.
ReplyDeleteBut you already know that, Gryphen.
I have to admit that I was extremely awkward holding my first baby. He seemed so vulnerable and fragile to me, and it took awhile to adjust to the full weight of motherhood, but I would NEVER hold him facing forward, while mugging for the best angle, wearing high heels, and hyped on God knows what and red bull.
Levi seems to have that same knack, it's a shame the baby mama is using her baby to punish him while exploiting him for fame and fortune.
Hey Bris, if you truly love Tripp, you have to get over your hate for his dad. You chose him, and Tripp needs him in his life. Oh wtf, why do I even bother? She has no conscience and reasoning with stupid people is just futile.
Sarah: "I pray that you stop crying! PLEASE stop crying now!! Don't you know who I am?"

Question for Sarah, why hold somebody else's baby when you don't even hold your own grandkids?
ReplyDeleteBristol really needs to grow up and quit the high school jealous mentality. Bristol is paranoid about Levi's female friends holding Tripp. Get over it at least somebody is showing your son some love besides the nanny.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Bristol let Levi have his son without limitations. If you do that it will show that you have matured.
That's THE answer to "Where's Trig?" LOL
ReplyDeleteBUT....notice that both are crying in "the chin" pic? FAIL AGAIN. These poor children.
What's wrong Mommy Dearest and Mommy Dearest Jr.? Is that the best you could do? Back to your Bachmann and Obama voodoo dolls.
A picture is worth a THOUSAND words and we've GOT it. You screwed up again!
Even when I was a casino pitboss wearing expensive suits to work,on the way home I stopped to visit my grandbabies and draped them on my shoulder where they happily slobbered,drooled,and peed all over those suits.Lots of dry cleaning,but lots of love.
ReplyDeleteYep. That was the video. That's our President, the Baby-whisperer.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the vid link Gryph put up, here is a vid of pics of the President with babies. Cute!! with a bonus at the end!!! LOL!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKt3nxCaGyw
This vid is 5 minutes in length but it becomes addictive watching pics of the President with babies. They aren't crying - They aren't trying to escape. I couldn't help but smile!!!!

Love it..The best one is $creech holding trigger like a bag 0f taters..I feel sorry for him..
ReplyDeleteI just love the gentle bounce he does with that baby when he pulls her close. Love the look he gives Michelle. Clearly he has been a very involved daddy and easily connects with kids.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories is sitting with my then-4 month old daughter watching Obama do one of his first interviews with Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes, just after he announced he was running. I knew I liked Obama but didn't really expect I would vote for him. Still I didn't want to miss the interview and sat with my daughter propped on my lap.
Every time they showed a closeup of Obama answering a question, she COOED. It was the most remarkable damn thing. She had never made any kind of noise like that, yet this cooing and babbling happened Every. Single. Time. he answered a question. The camera would show Kroft and she would stop. Then Obama's face would fill the screen and she would start talking to him. This went on for 15 minutes! She was so damn HAPPY and I kind of wondered what the hell she knew that I didn't.
I don't always agree with my prez, but I am so happy I voted for him. He is just a good person and that goes a long way.
GOP must feel awfully stupid for letting themselves be conned into backing ignorant Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteLevi should be keeping a journal for Tripp.
ReplyDelete7/2/11 Called Bristol about you. She refused to let me see you. (Then he could write down how he feels about his son and what he'd like to do with him and tell him.)
Not only would this document his attempts to spend time with his son for Tripp, to counter when his son accuses him of abandonment due to Palin brainwashing but it would also serve as a record for the courts should he ever decide to sue. Having a diary or journal holds more weight than heresay from the other party. When it's he wrote she said the writing has more weight.
Just sayin'.
I won't ever get tired of watching President Obama with that baby.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a better caption to the picture with the little girl with developmental disabilities would be "Just why is it you haven't made sure Trig wore his glasses???
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 7:28 pm
ReplyDeleteGreat story about your baby daughter.
At the risk of repeating myself, children love Obama. Our local public library hung posters of Obama at child-eye level after the 2008 election.
Kids would run up to the posters excitedly saying, "Obamaaaaa." It was very cute.

Pretty awful. Explains a lot.
"....why does Palin ALWAYS carry Trig facing away from her?"
ReplyDeleteThe better to get those SPECIAL NEEEEEEDS parents' empathy (and money).
Back before the 2010 elections, Palin came to my town to stump for a carpetbagger that lost the primary. Anyway, an enterprising television reporter and his cameraman met Sarah at the airport! She came down the concourse carrying Trig, and you could tell she was surprised to see a member of the press. She would not stop walking and seemed desperate to get away. She placed Trig between herself and the reporter, which seemed an odd thing to do. I think most mothers would instinctively shield their child from a perceived threat, not use their baby as a human shield!
ReplyDeleteDear Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteIt is closing in on the 4th, independence day. What a great day for all of america and I want to thank you personally.
From the days of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, we all have enjoyed the "free" commentary and free speech, thank you for continuing that tradition and a value of the US that I hold dear. We expect you to be here daily ( multiple times) we expect you to be a constant source for the voice of the "small" guy, and yet we never seem to worry about the time it entails for you. THANK YOU for being not only a voice for many of us , but a sounding board and a point of expressing our free speech. Happy Independence Day Gryphen, you are part of it all.
My coworker's twin granddaughters were having their fourth birthday. They reminded their grandmother to buy party dresses she had promised. Grandma asked what else they wanted for gifts. The twins said nothing but Obama to come to the party!". I bought them a children's book about Obama growing up.
ReplyDeleteHow anyone can believe these two are 9 months apart is a dumbass.

4:43 PM
---------------------------------
Toes in the Sand,
As a former mediacally fragile foster parent I can tell you EXACTLY why holding a baby away is of value.
If a baby does NOT KNOW YOU and gets thrown into your household that first night, then sometimes it works to hold the baby faced away from you so the baby will sleep. It is done just that first night or day, just so a new addition can be rested before you can bond enough to rock and cuddle them. It is NOT good parenting and used sometimes by foster parents with new lil ones, not out of uncaring, please do not interrupt it as such. But an overtired baby cannot adjust as easily as a well rested one.
President Obama looks more comfortable carrying and comforting strangers' babies than Sarah Palin looks carrying her "own" supposed baby..Just saying..
ReplyDeleteAnon@4:40 thanks for posting a link to this photo
ReplyDeletehttp://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/harper/images/PalinAtHomeLRG._V194460104_.jpg
I agree with what you said about the two boys not looking as if they are 9 months apart. I also think that they resemble each other. But, the most telling thing is the way Trig is beaming at Bristol . Are there any pictures of him looking at Sarah with that look on his face ? I don't think so.
President Obama is a natural with that baby while Sarah holds Trig in an unnatural and unmotherly way. It's disgusting how she holds Trig...like he's some sort of trophy DS child.
ReplyDeleteIn defense of Gryphen, if you follow the link in blue for "retarded children" you'll find the reason he used those words is because the link leads to an article in which Sarah Palin uses those words. That is why he used those exact words and put them in quotes. They're her words, not his.
ReplyDeleteWhat about all the photos of children being soothed by Sarah? From the past book tour, that redheaded downs boy? Sarahs so good with kids. And you're soooo biased, picking and choosing photos to make a point. Um, pictures mean nothing. Didn't obama just forget how old his daughter is?
ReplyDeleteI'd bet on bristols compassion against obamas any day
Bristol was om birth control in early 08. Tis a fact.
ReplyDeleteThe palins don't acknowledge that the term retarded exists. They are all offended by it.
ReplyDeleteTripp loves his papa and nana.
I feel sorry for tripp due to his accidental father. I feel sorry for bristol. She is such a good mother who was freaking knocked up accidentally by an irreosponsible moron
At least tripps happy and blessed. His "girlfriend" is adorable. Its good bristol has girlfriends for tripp to play with. He definitely has his shareof playdates.
@9:19pm
ReplyDeleteI saw the same thing: How Trig beams at Bristol and how she is focused on him with a big smile, too.
But of course, I'm biased, because I have always thought Bristol is Trig's mother.
Do you ever wonder if Bristol ever had a baby at all. Maybe she faked her pregnancies too. Did we ever see a birth certificate, birth announcement in the paper, photos in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteEverything these women say is by their word of mouth. Who was Bristols doctor, etc.
Why is there no photos of Bristol and Levi and Tripp at the birth. Sarah said she cut the cord because Levi was shaken, but why no photos...
She holds Trig away from her, because she doesn't want to get her clothes dirty or have him pull her hair (off).
ReplyDeleteanon@918, amen to that!
ReplyDeleteanon@906, I think you've got it! Apart from the prop thingy and all, I mean. And the "heaven forbid this icky creature should throw up on my nice suit" sentiment that shines through her face. I have friend whose baby was especially cranky, and when I occasionally offered to hold him I'd cuddle him close & do the baby bouncy thingy, but keep facing outward so he could see Mom, which helped him calm down. Those photos of Palin with Trig don't just reveal something in her body language!
Bristol looks so sweet and genuinely fresh and pretty in the photo with those kids, one who is her bio kid and one who is a replacement of her original kid.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, she is mean and nasty vindictive and uneducated, BUT, she looks genuinely sweet and pretty here. Credit where credit is due.
She really butchered herself with all that surgery. SAD.
Ooh the trolls finally showed up! Now go away. http://sarahpalinhasaserpentsheart.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteThe more things change, the more they seem to stay the same..There's always been a $arah PaYin type involoved in the political game.
Take a look back in time, especially during the 60s/70s/80s.
Hell, just watch old reruns of All In The Family/Good Times/Sandford and Sons, etc.... Same ole bullshit different era..
F em all.
"christian conservatives" whores never appear to change.
To the nit-picker that can't get over President Obama referencing Malia as a 13yr old, less than a week proir to her birthday...the 4th of July (Happy Birthday Malia and America).....the perfection you demand of Obama is stunning. Shame on President Obama for being so imprecise.
ReplyDeleteShow us the evidence of Palins warm and affectionate interaction with children. They say a picture paints a thousand words for good reason.
The lives of her own children reflect some serious shortcomings as to Palin's success as a parent. But I forget those in her camp, follow their leader, perpetually finger pointing and blaming anything and everything but themselves for the enviornments they create.
IMO, you lack the courage to take responsibility for your personal evolvement and the way you interface with the world around you. Grow up, open your eyes, broaden your perspective, recognize that you are but a part of the whole. Have the courage to be part of something much greater than yourself. And I am not talking about Palin's limited world view.
Namaste
Damn, Trig sure looks like Sarah. Just like Sarah sometimes, and just like Levi other times, to be exact.
