Alaska shock jocks Bob and Mark wanted to record Palin giving birth to Trig. Can everybody say "Eeeww!"

I am trying to pace these e-mail stories out a little bit as there is just an enormous amount of information in them.  In order not to trip all over myself while trying to get them posted, I have decided to focus on about one a day.

Today's selection is one that has some rather odd revelations about the relationship that two Anchorage based DJ's assumed they had to with Sarah Palin, while also providing fodder to help imagine the comedic implications that could have ensued if Palin had actually taken these two imbeciles up on their idea.

Here are the e-mails in question:

Wants KWHL to throw me a baby shower. I say "yes", if the gifts can go to these young Army wives who don’t have much, they’re far from their families, the dads aren’t there for the newborns first months, etc. And now Ft. Wainwright’s aviation unit was notified of a four month extension on deployments. Would u assign someone to work with Bob on that angle? 

Thanks

Yes, I’ll give him a call initially and then have someone work with him on details. Love the idea about the young army wives. 

So far this sounds very reasonable and appropriate, and you kind of have to give Palin credit for thinking about military wives. (Though her generosity COULD be the result of some guilty feelings I guess.)


But then it gets weird.

I spoke w/Bob. He agrees on the donation and thinks it’s great. He brought up the possibility of doing it after the baby is born so the baby would be present as well. He’s envisioning ALOT of people, i.e. Egan Center and I’m not too sure about that idea. 

We’ll work out details once timeframe is determined. 

He also asked again about the live audio recording of the birth and what you thought. A private moment? 

WTF? Bob Lester wanted to record the Governor of his state WHILE she was giving birth to another human being, and then play that tape on the air for his radio audience? And he believed in his chances of getting a positive response from Palin enough to ask multiple times? Really?

"Eeewww!"

Don’t want to take this too far. Kinda wish I hadnt had to tell anyone, but crazy to think it could have been hidden long. No- no Egan, and I’m not going to assume this will be as smooth and easy as the other kids’ births, so can’t imagine inviting in a rock radio microphone.

Wait! She's "not going to assume this will be as smooth and easy as the other kids births?"

That concern was certainly NOT reflected in her famous "Letter from God," written less than a month later, in which "God" clearly states "I let Trig's mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it, and I even seemed to rush it along so she could wait until near the end to surprise you with the news." But a month earlier Sarah/God was worried that this birth might be MORE challenging than those preceding it? (Kind of hard to imagine since this was a fake pregnancy, which would be followed by a fake birth. OH! I see the problem.)


Now it should be noted that Palin has always had a rather bizarre and cozy relationship with Bob and Mark. 

They laughed together over Lyda Green's cancer.

Bob and Mark got into hot water for being disrespectful to Alaska natives, so they have that in common. 


Piper has called in to the show, apparently while she was left alone watching Trig. As has Bristol. So Bob Lester has become like part of the family I suppose.


And of course Palin had also PROMISED to announce her decision about running for office on their radio program. (Though of course she didn't.)


However, regardless of their relationship over the years, WHY did these two yahoos believe that Palin might let them record perhaps the most private, and excruciatingly painful, experience that a woman ever goes through in her life?  

Are they really that dim? (Actually I can tell you from experience, that yes they are, yes they really ARE that dim!) 


Of course the request was moot, because Palin would eventually fly back from Texas in the dead of night to produce this child before any media could get to the hospital in time to bear witness to the "blessed event." 

"I was pregnant, and now there's a baby. Nothing to see here. So move along!"

Still I cannot help wondering what might have been, if Palin HAD agreed to stage a radio dramatization of a woman giving birth. 


Do you think it would have supported her version of events? Or do you think she would have screwed it up so badly that her deception would have been uncovered well BEFORE John McCain was "convinced" to pick her for his running mate?
