Is her fucking book tour over yet? If I see another photo of a piece of mid-American trash jumping up and down over the Rancid Cunt’s arrival at the local bookstore, I’ll puke.

Trig should be at home with his mother (Bristol) and father (Todd).

Perhaps the child was cut, pasted, and airbrushed into the photos. That would eliminate any person really caring for the small babe. Palin is trying to make that babe into a caricature, just like herself. Gross, selfish, narcissistic. She’s preying on a person who cannot ever defend himself, and that, as far as I can see, is a sin in the Christian sense of the work. Word.

Once again Duffy, a photo call and a book tour are two very different things. Got it?

Did Bristol have give Mrs P permission to parade her kid around that way?

Whilst it pains me to waste time ‘arguing’ with Duffster I have to point out that Aja is correct not only in the US but also the UK there is a no photo of kids even celeb ones unless permission is granted. So when you see a child in all its glory it has been sanctioned. Photocalls are what Aja is talking about as per Obama. Palin is technically ‘cavorting’ and allowing unlimited access – this translates as no holds barred and hence no blocked out face of her child in this case Trig.

Duff you obviously don’t buy pap shots as if you did you would know the grading and this has nothing to do with secret service, feds or any other body. I suggest you check out the Press Complaints Commision for clarification in UK, I’m not sure of the name of the body in US but in this country Price Charles redefined with the ‘co-operation’ of the press the images of minors.

I spoke to my BBC White House reporter friend and he clarified that the Obama children are under no circumstances photographed excepted under pre arrange photo calls. This actually applied to both the Bush girls when they were minors and upon maturity there were agreed photos. This is not an issue of politics – all politicians abide by this and all media courtesy is extended to all.

Trig is access all areas – his mother has chosen not to protect him or has asked the media to photo him, you decide which option she choose rather than thinking someone is making a statement.

My goodness, Aja, you mean all those cutsie pics of the little kiddies here, there and everywhere which I keep treading in on the net and in the prints all arose from sneaky paperazzi getting through the Secret Service security (not so hard these days, I gather) – Heavens to Betsy! what a bunch of scoundrels. And as for Mom and Pop, I accept your assurance that they are a model of modest, retiring self-effacement.

Oh and if you’re referring to Obama not keeping his kids out of the limelight when it comes to events like The Christmas Tree lighting, Easter Egg Hunts, etc . . . every kid who has inhabited the White House attends those events. It would be cruel not to let them. But a book signing, Palin puh-lease.

Ummm sorry to disappoint Duffster but when I work at the White House (something I do from time to time) there is a STRICT no photo policy to which we abide by when it comes to the little ones. You don’t know what you’re talking about. And after the kids were interviewed that one time for during the campaign the Obamas decided NEVER to do that again. Do your research Duffy and come prepared.

To clarify, I agree with the proposition that politicians should leave their families out of the limelight which, ‘pace’ Aja, above, Obama patently does not. All I was saying is that if she failed to appear with the child you lot would slag her off for being unloving, uncaring, ashamed, etc, etc.

Not that I feel sorry for her, you understand, I am an equal opportunities man when it comes to giving politicians, of any colour, a hard time.
