This is what is written under Palin picture:
Love her or hate her the former governor of Alaska and 2008 vice presidential nominee has put motherhood front and center of her political career by stressing family values and highlighting her pro-life stance via the highly publicized birth of son Trig, who she decided to have despite the doctor's warning of potential Down syndrome. Palin’s daughter Bristol recently made headlines by criticizing president Obama for taking advise from daughters Sasha and Malia regarding gay marriage.
So what do you think guys? Love her, or hate her?
Personally I am interested in the criteria they used to pick these women. I mean on the face of it Palin would HARDLY seem like a reasonable choice for such a distinction.
After all her teenage daughter DID get pregnant, and remains unmarried to this day. Her second daughter has been involved in breaking and entering, along with underage drinking and substance abuse. And Piper has been relegated to full time babysitter and has been seen roughing up the paparazzi.
So WHERE is all of this good mothering?
Perhaps it was just an impression they got based how well she interacts with other people's children?
Personally I am completely unimpressed with the woman's mothering abilities.
In fact if I were to choose the Top 5 Moms in American Politics, I would more likely choose this guy, irregardless of his gender,..
..rather than Sarah Palin.
I mean come on, take away the Y chromosome, and it's not even a close call.
Never heard of PolicyMic, but it looks like they just grabbed the Top 5 political "news maker" moms and tossed them up with with a trite bio, with practically no info on their "mothering skills".
ReplyDeleteA better title would have been "Top 5 Women in politics who routinely make the headlines... oh, and they happen to have a kid or two."
Exactly right. The thoughtful moms that kept their kids out of the spotlight are not even mentioned.
DeleteWhen things got tough raising her children, she quit mothering and shipped them off for someone else to
Deleteugh...gross.
ReplyDeleteThe way Sarah holds babies, Trigg in particular, is the first clue that she doesn't relate to her children. No one who loves and respects children holds them like a moldy sack of potatoes. Sarah always seems to hold a child as if they were stinky, dirty and loathsome.
ReplyDeleteWomen with real maternal instincts - and many who don't - hold children securely, tenderly, and with an eye for safety and emotional security. Not Sarah - she seems to think infants and toddlers are inert packages to be handed-off to someone else.
Most people would be embarrassed to have so many of their children repeatedly make poor decisions. Most people would not embarrass their children as she did Bristol.
Most women would not dump their responsibilities unto their daughters as she did. Most women would have taken Piper aside and discussed the proper way to act in public --- but judging from the crude way Piper's older sisters often conduct themselves, it is no surprise that Piper behaved like a brat on that national tour. She needed mothering, guidance, and love. Piper may never get that from Sarah.
Hate to put a mother down on Mother's Day, but considering that I do not regard Sarah Palin as a woman who behaves like a loving mother, I don't apologize.
Anyone can have a child who behaves badly, but when each and every child becomes a wild child, it reflects on the lack of proper parenting, not the children. Sarah forfeited her responsibilities as a mother, and unfortunately it shows.
I completely agree with you regarding the way Sarah holds babies (including her son). That action alone speaks volumes. You hold babies close to you, not only to give them a sense of security but to ensure you don't drop 'em. ;)
DeleteYou don't hold them like they're a bag of garbage.
At least it wasn't 'I raised 25 foster children" Bachmann.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyone with a lick of sense knows Palin is no mother.
And Michele kept at it, every opportunity to shove that 'fact' down our throats.
DeleteThat the press didn't vet that 'accomplishment' is very telling, that she hadn't a chance to make it to the convention.
I've seen no coverage on this except for thie Blog - apparently isn't having much of an impact.
ReplyDeleteKind of sad that this polymic article isn't getting more attention, but hey, those people that like Sarah Palin are generally immune to all of her deficiencies. I don't really care how screwed up her kids are; she has to live with them and they have to face the consequences of her bad parenting. We call the Palin family (and the Johnstons as well) Cautionary Tales: Examples of What NOT to do in my family. No one from those two families is in danger of their children getting a full ride to MIT. Oh, but wait, that's that old elitist education thing, and them folks don't need none of that, they are the poster children for the 25% of uneducated Americans that don't strive to improve their situation.
DeleteI'm with you in finding any coverage this blog has received. I even checked Fox and couldn't find any mention of the blog. This guy must just be disparate in trying to attract followers and thought this might do it. Not!!
DeleteOf course you haven't seen it anywhere else. No one gives a shit about her anymore and some of that is due to people like Gryphen uncovering the bitch's antics and the bitch biting back to try and shut him up. She's just not all that and a bag of potato chips.
DeleteDisparate troll? Go back and try again. Use the dictionary or at least spell check.
Delete(eye roll)
lol. What a joke. Sarah Lou has been successful in grifting and that's about it. Her political record for the past 10 years includes losses in 2 of her past 3 campaigns, and the one win she managed to get was for the Governor of AK, which she resigned under investigation for corruption. I won't detail her sorry record as a mother, but she should be ashamed for not being an active parent instead of pushing her family to the side while she selfishly pursued her own political dreams.
ReplyDeleteSo she made a few bucks while failing everything else. Sarah, I'm sure, is very pleased with herself. I feel sorry for her kids.
Jealous bitch - the Obamas have true family values - she will never get it.
ReplyDeleteIf you are choosing among high profile women, I'll nominate that man's wife! She clearly loves children, and her child clearly are loved and cared for. Of course, she was raised by an awesome mother who is loving her grandkids too.
ReplyDeleteYou're right President Obama has better maternal instincts than the fraud and fake mother named Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteIt is only my opinion that any list that does not have Michelle Obama at the top isn't worth reading.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is at the top of the list of the WORST mother of the year...we all know a thousand reasons why. I think in other states, all her children would have been taken away along time ago. Bristol is in her 20's and we can see where she is going. The other 2 are gonna be just as bad, no education, no direction except to get money for nothing...and easy men. Very, very sad...just giving birth does not make you a mother.
It is not only your opinion Sharon - it is the opinion of millions that Michelle Obama would be at the top of any list worth reading.
DeleteIt will be interesting to hear her talk on the "teenage years" during her husband's second term. I found 13-16 by far the most difficult time when it came to understanding children. Mrs Palin sure failed during that time period.
Right on!
DeleteBut Gryphen was also right to point out that President Obamo has more maternal instincts in his left foot the Sarah Palin has in her entire being. :)
Holy shit, will we ever live in a Palin-free environment? I hope not, because this pack of mutants make me feel, well, somehow superior. Although I was a pianist of some note in the past, and finished a novel( published, not very good),I generally feel like mostly a washout and coward. However, when I consider this passel of brain dead motherfuckers, I feel like the little king of everything. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. You are the reason I sleep through the night,the morning comes with the promise of a new day and the thought that,at least somewhere, there is someone way more fucked up than I.
ReplyDeleteBut Sarah was a flautist. And a best-selling ghost-writer. . .
DeleteYou jealous h8r without a title. At least they are a strong happy family that lets these insults flow off like water off a lame-ducks ass because of their still spines and with God on their side.
I would love to have Palin tell what the definition of a good mother is. By looking how her children have turned out so far, it certainly doesn't look very impressive. Her older son got caught slashing bus tires and was forced to join the army. Her oldest daughter got knocked up at sixteen, never married the father, and is now living off her mother's fame and learning the skills her mother is teaching her on how to grift. Willow, as you said has already shown her lack of potential so far, and from what we have seen and heard in the past is a homophobe and racists, just like the rest of her family. Piper, the one who probably had the best chance of all of them if they allowed her to stay in school while she off and campaigning is turning,or already has turned into a brat and I'm sure will continue down that path like the rest of them. And of course the youngest, we can only hope he is given the care and attention he needs to proper, but as it looks so far it seems Sarah just likes to pawn him off on others.
ReplyDeleteSarah herself, is a selfish mother who is void of any mothering skills who only cares about herself and money. Her history as a mother who is vindictive, seemingly uneducated but tells a different story which is hard to believe, and a lier, is just not something most people related to as being a good mother.
No doubt, in the coming years, if she still manages to find a way to get herself in the news, which we actually wish not to hear anymore about her and her family, will provide further evidence she is a poor mother by hearing the poor decisions of her children.
If there are any Palinbot's who are reading this, you are welcomed to provide further proof of Palin's grifting by telling everyone about her mothering skills. But please provide examples like I did to base you comments on. Other wise, you'll by just showing your blind ignorance, narrow minded thinking, and blind allegiance to someone who has qualification, ambition, or work ethic to ever try to run for a public office again. Besides, she knows we all know what a poor and unsuccessful governor she truly was in the short time she was willing to work.
FUCKING DISGUSTING.
ReplyDeletethIS HAS got TO STOP AND now!
Bring this bitch DOWN.
She DID NOT BIRTH tri-G!!!!!!
Top 5 moms????
ReplyDeleteThey included the witch from wasilla?
It must be April Fools day again...
And the panel that included her must be on some crazy drugs... what an insult to all of those other women.
It is annoying that people are not called on the lie that Obama was "taking advise (sic) from daughters Sasha and Malia regarding gay marriage." This is what he actually said:
ReplyDelete"You know, Malia and Sasha, they've got friends whose parents are same-sex couples. And I-- you know, there have been times where Michelle and I have been sittin' around the dinner table. And we've been talkin' and-- about their friends and their parents. And Malia and Sasha would-- it wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. It doesn't make sense to them. And-- and frankly-- that's the kind of thing that prompts-- a change of perspective. You know, not wanting to somehow explain to your child why somebody should be treated-- differently, when it comes to-- the eyes of the law."
That is not taking advice from children. That is considering an issue from a different perspective. It's a good thing.
Get a life, troll.
DeleteAnon @6:18 Pm, Nora is not a troll. She is quoting Obama's actual statement and pointing out how the right spins(lies) about it. She is
Deletepraising an aspect of the process Obama used to arrive at his personal perspective on this issue.
Troll? Do you understand what the poster was even saying? Did you even read it? She was not criticizing the president in any way - she was supporting him.
DeleteIt sounds like you are just looking for a fight somewhere. Any fight. Anywhere.
Thanks, Anon 6:38 and 7:04 -- I thought my head was going to explode.
DeleteThis Alex Marin from the Policy Mic blog that posted this claims that he worked for MSNBC, however, there are no known ties to him at that network. He's not a journalist; just some pretender with a blog. I'm sure he listed Sarah at the top of his Moms list because it would bring people to his blog, a blog that no one prior to today has ever really visited.
ReplyDeleteHate to inform whomever wrote that piece, but Susanna Martinez does not have any children.
ReplyDeleteAnd what does the governor of New MExico have to do with this conversation? Sure she is also a puppet, but...??
DeleteAnon @6:17 PM
DeleteIf you read the article Gryphen's post is based on (see link "Policy Mic"), Susanna Martinez is listed at #4 on the "Top 5 Moms" list. Palin is listed at #2.
HaHa, they really did the research on this, huh?
Delete6:17.... Susana Martinez is included in the list of top moms, but she doesn't have children. Therefore she is not a mom. The author obviously did not do any research for the article.
DeleteClassic!!!!!!
DeleteWell I guess you can't fuck up being a mom if you don't have any kids??
Oh, I get it, marrying a Pimp makes you a good Mother. Raising 3 Juvenile Delinquents makes you a good Mother. Faking a Pregnancy makes you a good Mother. Saying terrible things about our President makes you a good Mother. Having sex with your Husband's business partner makes you a good Mother.
ReplyDeleteSnorting Cocaine from a 50 gallon drum top makes you a good Mother. Grifting money for Political Office when you are not running for Office makes you a good Mother. Using someone else's Special Needs child as a Political Prop makes you a good Mother. Taking advantage of your Special Needs oldest daughter instead of helping her to learn to read and function on her own makes you a good Mother. What a Fake you are, Sarah Palin.
You said it ALL!
DeleteI guess WME [Woe me] could be exchanged for WGE [Wedgie]. Worst Mother Ever is really worse than Worst Governor Ever. Way worse. Her abysmal mothering skills have been played out in so many ways it's hard to pin down the worst episode--pregnant daughter outed in national media in 2008; sad little petulant daughter outed in summer 2011. Mad, bad angry daughter trashing neighbor's house in 2008? 09? Thoroughly disgusted son avoiding all attempts at media outing by his mother from 2008 until present. And this is just the stuff we've seen. Who knows how bad it is behind the scenes?
ReplyDeleteIf whoever wrote that article thinks that Sarah Palin is a good mom then that person must of been raised by Satan.
ReplyDeletewhat makes sarah palin a top mom is that she still sometimes breastfeeds track & bristol
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin breast feeds with what?
DeleteHer limp sock looking breasts are empty, bone dry. That's why Sarah went out and bought herself those Belmont fake titties.
If you are looking for a few laughs, I suggest you check out this "biography" of Brisdull I found while trying to find info on her trashy reality show. The photo is one I haven't seen before and really WTF happened to her face?!?!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.biography.com/people/bristol-palin-20798015?page=1
Hmmm...the biography talks about Sarah Palin's FOUR children, not five.
DeleteThe most interesting part of which is the first paragraph - "Bristol Palin is the eldest daughter, and second of four children, of Sarah Palin.."
Delete" But in no way did I want to send the message that teenage pregnancy was something to endorse, much less glamorize."
DeleteThat is precisely what Bristol did with all the photo shoots, magazine articles, reality show failures... then DWTS... her new chin, and now still glamorizing her unwed teen meme to the fullest with her blog and upcoming Unreality Show. If THAT's not endorsing and glamourizing unwed teen pregnancy, I don't know what is!
I think that picture of Bristol is really Kim K. the one she modeled her new chin on.
Who would you want for a mother?
ReplyDeleteSatan or Sarah Palin
Ha ha got ya!
That was a trick question, “they are one and the same”.
Comment seen on Malia Litman's blog:
ReplyDeleteNo caring Mother would allow a Pimp to pose as the father of her children. Any Real Mother would have kicked Todd Palin out as soon as she found out about his Pimp, Sex Trafficking and Prostitution Ring. Sarah Palin’s only reason for not getting rid of Pimp Daddy is that she was a part of the
Scandal and approved of it as long as it Benefited her Agenda. As for being a Mother, Sarah Palin was a Mother at Birth only, afterwards it was all about Sarah. She is one of the worst Mothers of the Decade. She exposed her daughters to the Public for her own gain. The only Sarah Palin Offspring who has not been in trouble with the Law is Piper. She has failed as a Mother, and we all know it. Anyone who believes differently is a Fool.
The only Sarah Palin Offspring who has not been in trouble with the Law is Piper.
DeleteShe is suppose to a little diva. Unless there is an intervention by the Alaskan Children's Protective Service, she is on schedule to follow the footsteps of her mentors Bristol, Willow, Track, Todd and Sarah.
God help us all.
She WILL be the worst of all. Can't do simple flash card math, must call Mommie Dearest "Sarah," and public tantrums at such a young age that she needs to apologize for.
DeleteGEEZ, SARAH. Do you give ONE MIDDLE FINGER for your kids? All one has to do is observe. So much for GOD and your "common sense solutions."
No "mom" EVER holds her child like that. A MOTHER does....and the Palins women ARE "mothers." Is Tripp done with the chocolate syrup-coated pacifier yet?
ReplyDeleteHolding a child away from you like that is a trick that foster mom's used for yrs. Getting a baby in the middle of the night or straight from from the hospital because an illness or injury.
DeleteI used the trick while I did medically fragile foster care for the first night or two until the baby got used to me.
It has always seemed strange to me that Sarah would always be photographed or filmed that way with Trig. She is obviously a stranger to him.
Bless you for caring for ill/injured foster infants and children.
DeleteYou have a heart greater than many I know, including myself.
AND, the fringe of the US media turns to shit before our very eyes in real time.... Isn't that why it's called 'fringe'???
ReplyDelete"...has put motherhood front and center of her political career "
ReplyDeleteAs a PROP. Trig was a PROP in '08. Poor Track was touted as a war hero as a PROP. Wa$chilla DeVile uses her children as political PROPS to validate her as a mother. Utterly deplorable. Par for the paylump course.
"...has put motherhood front and center of her political career " Just look at the way she carried Trig!
DeleteBristol is just Sarah's MiniME. And Bristol just doesn't seem to get it, that as long as she is tied to her mother's lapel pin (I doubt Sarah has an apron), she will never have a real relationship with anyone or a life of her own. One day she will not be able to deny certain inconvenient truths about her life, and when she realizes she was so ruthlessly used and abused by her parents, she will be very bitter and angry. I think she and Levi could have made it if it weren't for Sarah and Todd who did not like him. They lied about Levi's having an affair and they bribed her with promises of easy riches and celebrity. So where is Bristol now? Back in Wasilla, unmarried, and not likely to be married anytime soon. It may take decades for her to reach this point, but someday she will.
DeleteHow much did this survey cost you Sarah? Better yet why don't you tell us the details of your "scientific survey"?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I know the question was really really hard. How many people were surveyed? What were the critera for derterming what made a "GOOD" mother? Simple stuff like that. Without any of this information this poll is worthless crap.
Oh this is terrible. Unworthy, Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteIt's not THE list. It's nothing but a pissant blog.
Filled with spelling and grammar errors.
"criticizing president Obama for taking advise..."
It's ADVICE, not advise.
And Lisa Murkowski? Please.
Lisa seems to me to be a very good mother. She shields her sons from the public and makes certain life-changing decisions through family meetings.
DeleteI didn't realize Mothers Day was on April Fools Day this year.
ReplyDeleteRick
Sarah has orchestrated and planned the image of her as a devoted mother. When Sarah thought that Bristol was pregnant in 2007, she took away her cell phone for a few days. In "Sarah Palin's Alaksa" it was Willow trying to sneak a boy up stairs (oh how cute). Remind me again why Track was shipped off to Michigan and then into the army. Conceiving a child and then getting married seems to run in the family: Sally Heath, Sarah Heath Palin, Bristol never did get married, Track Palin. Piper was such a sweet child that she pushed reporters and yelled at them for ruing her vacation on her mother's fund raising campaign bus tour. The only direction being given to Bristol seems to be to get out there, get on TV or have someone write these blogs for you. What a life. Willow: breaking and enter, Track: vandalism, Bristol: abstinence hypocrite, yup, Sarah's a real role model.
ReplyDeleteFor Sarah Palin to be named to any list as a top mother makes me gag. Track had problems so she sends him off to Michigan or Wisconsin for a year. Bristol got pregnant, she humiliates her on national TV with the world watching after having banishing her for many months during Bristol's first pregnancy. Willow - guilty of breaking/entering then trashing a house during a drunken brawl. All of them were not kept in school, instead they were dragged around the country for mama's ego. Then the famous Wild Ride story that either means she lied about being pregnant or endangered a high risk DS baby's life. Either way, she's a lousy mother. For all of that, she gets named to a "top mother" list? WTF?
ReplyDeleteO/T sort of: Bristol/Nancy bashes President Obama about "taking advise from daughters Sasha and Malia regarding gay marriage" but what about Mama Sarah's often repeated story that "before she decided to accept McCain's invitation to be on his ticket, she had all of the kids vote" and "before she quit as governor of Alaska, all the kids voted ... one even voted 'Hell Yeah'"? Weren't both of those "votes" taking her kids advice? Of course, we know it was a lie that they voted about her saying yes to McCain since Steve Schmidt had to tell the kids that she had accepted before she walked on the stage but it's about what she told.
Does the Palin / Heath family even know the definition of the word "lie"? It's a three-letter word, surely they can learn the definition of three letters words.
Sarah Palin is NUMBER ONE in the category
DeleteWhite Trash Top 5 Moms in American Trailer Parks.
HA HA HA
ReplyDeleteShe came in SECOND to Hillary! Eat Crow, Brancy
I LOVE HER!!!
I especially loved this part:
highly publicized birth of son Trig, who she decided to have despite the doctor's warning of potential Down syndrome. Palin’s daughter Bristol recently made headlines by criticizing president Obama for taking advise from daughters Sasha and Malia regarding gay marriage.
"potential Down syndrome?" Didn't she lie and say she had amnio? That one of her kids noticed the thick neck on the sonogram? (as if they're certified to read one, mind you).
And of COURSE, you can't mention Screech without mentioning Nancy, her girl crush that writes for the bovine miss Palin (Beefy!!!!), child of God, mother of Tripp, unwed prop for mamma's hatred of all things wonderful, like our President, for instance.
I'm disappointed with Lisa Murkowski!
ReplyDeleteAs a mother, an Alaskan, a person with authority, she should of had Pimp Daddy Todd investigated.
Especially if she has kids or grandkids.
Protect Alaska!
Wouldn't be surprised if Sarah Palin already bought her little diva Piper Diaper her first pair of Hee Haw Daisy Dukes and hoe-boy boots like her big sister Hop-A-Long Beefalo.
ReplyDeleteWhat's next?
Announcing Piper Diaper will graduate high school 4 years early and is engaged?
Photos of Piper in LA showed her with such short shorts you couldn't even tell she had shorts on! She's been seen with make-up, glam glasses, hair dos and you betcha she plays dress up with her big sister's duds. I predict that age 15 she will get mono and Sarah will miraculously birth a baby at age 55.
DeletePicture caption:
ReplyDeleteWill somebody please get Bristol's DS baby from me!

ReplyDeleteMaybe Gino left Bristol because she doesn't ride the same after loosing all that weight?
You know some people just like big cars that has that smooth bounce and big rear ends instead of those new plastic cars with fake chins, I mean fake accessories.
They were done filming, with no one to PAY him to be with Brisket why would he stay/.
DeleteAnybody see a pattern here?
ReplyDeleteBristol gets pregnant by Levi and announces a trial wedding to Gino.
Sarah gets pregnant by Curt Menard and elopes with Todd and delivers Track.
Willow is said to be pregnant and announced that she is engaged. I wonder if she is engaged to the baby's daddy?
Somebody better get Piper a chastity belt with a lock on it before she gets into high school.
Time to stop the Palin Madness!
It all started with Chuck. His wife was not available or involved in the family due to her religious fanaticism. Allowing, possibly encouraging sarah to walk around sans clothing as she was growing up is creepy and perverse. But, oh well, that is just dear old dad who, after the failed VP fiasco, also made the strange statement that "the kids were always losing their underwear." Hello?
ReplyDeletesarah is mentally and emotionally challenged. She lives in her own decaying world and has no connection to reality or common decency. As a mother, she has shown to be a failure over and over...and over again.
sarah should be the poster mother-in-name-only for Child Protective Services. She had no business bringing any child into her twisted and selfish world. No nurturing, loving, or decent values were taught or modeled for those children. They were left stranded without any positive parental guidance. The unbridled criminal behaviors of Track and Willow and the total lack of respect and decency of Bristol and Willow is all due to the fractured, unavailable, just plain crazy, and warped mind of sarah heath palin.
I'll bet little Trig would not agree!!! When was the last time she changed a diaper (never?) or simply cuddled him? As for her other offspring, not impressive AT ALL. I guess in her warped world, pregnancy before marriage (Bristol, Track's wife and maybe Willow), truancy (Willow and Piper), vandalism (Track and Willow), lack of interest in any kind of meaningful education (probably all of the above), dishonesty (ditto)... I could go on and on. And still Sarah is considered one of five top political mothers. How sick is that?
ReplyDeleteI hope Bristol doesn't try to hook up with Levi again?
ReplyDeleteLEAVE LEVI AND SUNNY ALONE YOU WHITE TRASH UNEDUCATED WASILLA HILL BILLY.
Go hook up with Gino's dad Bino.
Mother of the year, please. How about Bitch of the year? It just goes to show how gullible we have become as a society. I'm surprised that they did not give one of the awards to Casey Anthony. She has as much integrity as the Bitch. Next up Toad, as the Pimp of the year.
ReplyDeleteDid that Gino boy leave Bristol's dumb ass already? It just goes to show, you can lead a Cow to water, but you can't make her think.
ReplyDeleteI never ever carried my baby boy around by his genitals like she did with Trig in that picture. And she is squeezing him around his chest - Trig looks uncomfortable. I also think he was drugged during his appearances to make him more manageable.
ReplyDeleteWorst mother ever with Bristol running a close second.
ReplyDeleteAnd how do they justify not having FLOTUS at the top of the list?
ReplyDeleteOf course any list with Michelle Obama on it should not include The Creature From Lake Lucille.
I wouldn't take this too seriously. I mean come on, who in the hell is Policy Mic? How many of us have ever heard of them? Let the Bitch get her jollies off behind this bullshit, because we ALL know the truth. Go ahead celebrate Bitch, while the rest of us continue to LAUGH AT YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FUCKED UP FAMILY.
