* She addresses 'unreal, sad and confusing' news of son's Down's Syndrome
* Writes Trig 'may provide more challenges and more joy' than imagined
* Writes that others would have wanted to abort, or send sympathy
* Shows thoughtful, human side of controversial politician
Sarah_Palin 'played God' in a deeply touching email she wrote two weeks before her fifth child, Trig, was born with Down's Syndrome, it was revealed today.
The poignant message to family_and_friends, included in 25,000 pages of her private emails made public on Friday, may alter the way the former Governor of Alaska is viewed by the American public.
In April 2008, two weeks before Trig was born with Down's Syndrome, Mrs Palin sent the email to her friends and family from her official government account.
In the touching message, Mrs Palin writes from the voice of God, as 'Trig's creator, your heavenly father'. She addresses the 'unreal, sad and confusing' news that her soon-to-be born child will have Down's Syndrome. The letter's existence had previously known, but only very brief excerpts had been made public.
Writing as God, Mrs Palin wrote, 'I let Trig's mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it...'
She wrote, 'Trig's mom and dad' were told early by doctors that the child 'may provide more challenges and more joy than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for.
'This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective... and get everyone focused on what really matters. The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven't experienced yet'. The letter also makes unlikely conspiracy theories that have long been circulating on blogs that Trig was actually born to Mrs Palin's unwed daughter Bristol....

Boy, this whole escapade sure has backfired on the media, hasn't it? If they keep it up, they'll "scandalize" her right into the White House!!
They should leave him there...
I am sure he is a joy. People like Trig show us that it’s about love here on earth, not always about brains. Love and kindness are more important than brains without either. I prefer to spend time with people like Trig than people like Weiner.
Andrew Sullivan has already proved he is incapable of letting facts and reality affect his delusions...
The more these knuckle dragging bottom feeders publish about Sarah’s emails, the better she looks and the more despicable and pathetic they look.
I would love to see emails from these pathetic excuses for human beings.
Indeed.
The difference between the right and left (which, of course, is also the difference between good and evil) couldn’t be more clear when comparing the content of Sarah Palin’s e-mails with Anthony Wiener’s.
It sure has. Palin comes across as a great person in these emails.
Headline from the WP, NY Times, LA Times etc - “Palin imagines herself to be God!”
Full text of email -
To the Sisters, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends of Trig Paxson Van Palin (or whatever you end up naming him!):
I am blessing you with this surprise baby because I only want the best for you. I’ve heard your prayers that this baby will be the happy and healthy, and I’ve answered them because I only want the best for you!
I heard your heart when you hinted that another boy would fit best into the Palin family, to round it out and complete that starting five line-up. Though another girl would be so nice, you didn’t think you could ask for what you really wanted, but I knew so I gave you a boy.
Then, I put the idea in your hearts that his name should be “Trig,” because it’s so fitting, with two Norse meanings: “True and “Brave Victory” ...
Then, finally, I let Trig’s mom and dad find out before he was born that this little boy will truly be a GIFT. They were told in early tests that Trig may provide more challenges, and more joy, than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for. At first the news seemed unreal and sad and confusing. But I gave Trig’s mom and dad lots of time to think about it because they needed to understand that everything will be OK. ...
This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective and bind {you} together and get everyone focused on what really matters. The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven’t experienced yet. He’ll show you what “true, brave victory” really means as those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world telss you is “normal” or “perfect.”...
Trig will be his dad’s little buddy and he’ll wear Carhartts while he learns to tinker in the garage. He’ll love to be read to, he’ll want to play goalie, and he;ll steal mom’s heart just like Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper did. And Trig will be the cuddly, innocent dependent little brother that his siblings have been waiting for... in fact Trig will - in some diagnostic ways - always be a mischievous, dependent little brother, because I created him a bit different than a lot of babies born into this world today.
Every child is created special, with awesome purpose and amazing potential. Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed-up world you live in down there on earth. Trig is no different, except he has an extra chromosome. Doctors call it “Down syndrome,” and Downs kids have challenges, but can bring you much delight and more love than you can ever imagine! ...
Trig’s mom and dad don’t want people to focus on the baby’s extra chomosome. They’re human, so they haven’t known how to explain this to people who are caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. ... Some will think Trig should not be allowed to be born because they fear a Downs child won’t be considered “perfect” in your world. ...
Many people will express sympathy, but you don’t want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this.
I know it will take time to grasp this and come to accept that I only want the best for you, and I only give my best. Remember though: “my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts... for as heavens are higher than earth, my ways are higher than yours!”
I wrote that all down for you in the Good Book! Look it up! You claim that you believe me - now it’s time to live out that belief!
Trig can’t wait to meet you. I’m giving you ONLY THE BEST!
Love, Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father
she’s not playing god, but praying to god, thats what you say when you pray
The infamous pornographer Larry Flynt said that Sarah Palin should have had an abortion, and that Trig is a vegetable, and shouldn’t have been allowed to live.
The irony is that the wheelchair bound Flynt meets certain criteria of “non-productive” or “non-functional” life that he criticizes in a Down’s syndrome baby.
“NBC sent ex-Newsweek scribbler Michael Isikoff to Alaska for the dirt.”
I heard that the poor fool is hold up in a hotel room in Juneau, reading Sarah’s emails!
Hmmm. wouldn’t it have been easier to sit in NYC and read them online??? Stupid Stupid, stupid...
That was a terrific comparison, all men can be evil but the democrat party thrives on immorality and illegality.
I see her an not so much the right politician for the job but the antivenin to the Obama poison in our American bloodstream.
Oh NOES, the scandal, the scandal...(/sarc)
Monitor got all blurry...
