Stop Sending Palin Baby Presents

Posted by JeanneSager at 1:15 PM on December 29, 2008

So the economy's in the crapper, and parents are cutting back on
everything from Santa to travel. So why are gifts pouring into the
Palin household?

The former (so happy to say that) U.S. vice
presidential candidate's father, Chuck Heath, told Grandparents.com
that gifts for granddaughter Bristol Palin's soon-to-be born baby boy
have been piling up from around the world. Really, this is what people
are spending their money on?

In case none of you remember, the Palin family isn't exactly
hurting
. Mum just got offered a raise by one of the commissions she
helped appoint (OK, OK, she turned it down — but who is actually
getting offers for EXTRA money in their pay this year?).

Bristol Palin does not need our charity. But at last count, Chuck
Heath says there are one hundred thousand gifts waiting for baby boy
Johnston. Yes, you read that right – one hundred thousand.

He admits she'll probably never use them all (ya think?), but
I've yet to hear any offers to give these things away to a pregnancy
center or maybe make some Christmases brighter around Alaska.

We get it, some people actually liked Sarah Palin. If you really
want to pay tribute to her, how about donating some gifts in her name
to someone who could actually use them?

Ooh, I know, how about one of those centres for pregnant teens she cut funding from? Just a suggestion.

    MEOW!!!!! That is about as catty a commentary I have read lately!!! And who makes you the insider on what private discussions have been had about the intentions for these gifts??? You libs need to get a purpose in life and leave everybody else’s life alone!!! Disgusting.You are all about telling us about tolerance but certainly don’t practice it yourself. Lay off the Palins. PUHlease!!!!

    I’m glad she’s the FORMER candidate too. And why should people reward this teen for getting pregnant out of wedlock? She’s a pathetic example for other teens, especially in light of her mother’s take-no-prisoners stand on sex education. What a horrendous case of hypocrisy.

  • Marcus says:

    The baby was supposedly due on 18 DEC. 2008. No doctor would allow the baby to be delivered past 10 days. The fact of the matter remains that Trig is Bristol’s baby. Now if she doesn’t have a baby until Jan., that would make two babies that Bristol could account for.

  • frank burns says:

    Word from Wasala has it that the pregnant girl they had lined up to quietly adopt the baby over to them balked out at the last minute. Now they are scurrying to find another. After grand-pa blabbed about the boy, that complicates things a little. They aren’t even asking prospective ghost-mothers about blood-type, they don’t figure anyone will check that far, and they are probably right.

  • Fiedler says:

    Gifts not needed. Funny what people will do for a little attention. No one asked for these gifts so what is the purpose, the Paless certainly do not need them. Give them to a unwed mother’s home where the one hundred thousand gifts (more BS, Paless wasn’t even liked that much and not that many approve of a wedless pregnancy will be put to good use and not just piled up in a room. Here I thought all the flack about Sarah and her family has quited down and here we go again. And the previous writer is probably right on target, baby number 2 for Brolin. Hope this one is okay.

    How about some real details instead of just a vague assertion of such shocking magnitude?

  • Sleuthy says:

    11 days overdue, but who’s counting? Certainly not the Republican retards who believe the fantastical nonsense that Trigger is Sarah’s biological baby. There is ZERO medical evidence to support that assertion. But the arrest of Baby Daddy’s momma for drug-dealing (more “Republican family values”?) on Bristol’s due-date has derailed the closure of the Palin Baby Fraud. All eyes are on criminal Alaska, now.

    We’re close to the moment of revelation, its days or weeks now. Will Sarah claim Bristol had a “miscarraige” because of the liberal media or left-wing bloggers? Will she let heartbroken Bristol & Levi adopt Trigger? That closes the circle: a bad fat Republi-tard lie, sealed with a kiss for the tundra-pig Palin lovers.

    @frank burns: Where did you hear that? Are in or near Wasilla?

  • Victoria says:

    My God, I didn’t think people could sink so low — but to actually use their political leanings to thwart generous impulses towards an unborn baby, that is the lowest of the low.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Sarah Palin is a COMPLETE FRAUD.

    WAKE UP world!
