Just when you think mainstream media people can't stoop much lower in their final stages of Palin Derangement Syndrome, they plunge to new depths. Suzy Shuster works as a sideline reporter for ABC Sports. She also blogs at the Huffington Post. Her most recent contribution is,"Say It Ain't So: Trig Palin's Post-Debate Photo Op." She describes what irritated her most at last night's vice presidential debate:
It actually came after the debate, when for seemingly the millionth time, Sarah Palin trotted out her piece de resistance, her favorite prop of this campaign season: her five and a half month old son Trig.
Why is this child up so late every time there is a camera op? Why isn't this baby sleeping in a crib or bassinet somewhere with a sleep sheep or some other sound apparatus lulling him into night-night? Is it just me or does it seem like she carts this poor child around like a living breathing example of how wonderful a mom she is? After all, she's more than adopted the "I'm just a mom, just like you moms out there, America" attitude.
But the truth is, if she was just like all you other Moms out there, America, then she'd know the best thing she can do for this infant is to make sure he is tucked safely in his bed and out cold at eleven pm. And please don't say well, maybe she doesn't have anyone to watch him. Believe that, and I've got a Bridge to Nowhere that I want to sell you.
Shuster isn't the first to challenge Palin's parenting skills and motivation. Last month the publisher of Harper's Magazine made the same accusation that the baby is used as a political prop.
Naturally, Shuster's post was received by HuffPo readers with a rash of comments critical of Palin, references to "white trash," and other statements that you'd expect from open-minded liberals.
I can't claim particular expertise on the subject of when a baby should sleep. In my experience as a father and grandfather, though, it seems to me babies keep their own schedule to a great extent. I'd be most reluctant to judge other parents harshly because their baby isn't asleep at 8:00 PM or whatever hour has been designated as the requirement.
Moreover, there's little doubt that some of the liberals so critical of the Palin baby's schedule would have preferred that a special needs child be aborted in the first place. Their open-mindedness can only be extended so far.
In last night's debate, Joe Biden made a point about not questioning an opponent's motives. Shuster and other mainstream media figures have no problem doing exactly that much of the time.
Wow. Sarah loves all her kids and they were all on stage. What’s the problem, should she hide Trigg?
Is Sarah breast feeding Trig?
If so, good for her.
A TON of women have had abortions......some have aborted Down Syndrome children and Sarah brings up VERY BAD MEMORIES for theses women AND men.
It must be true that those women angriest at Sarah have all had abortions and her mere presence is a burning coal on their foreheads; guilt will drive you mad.
I have to pray to Him a few times a day as well. I don’t see how we can keep living with these people having any say in a sane society. It’s like having a poisonous family member who causes nothing but stress and pain. At some point, either you or they have to move out.
you have a point on projection.
The vitriol is amazing. I cannot imagine any other woman being subjected to this type of slander and abuse.
Come think of it I know why Rich Eisen cheated on her LOL!
If she writing this piece of crap on Huffington post
BTW Wagglebee come think of it how old is Tig Palin I think ole Sarah breastfeeding him RIGHT
I was thinking pictures of Alycia Lane would be appropriate for any thread featuring Suzy.
Democrats, ESPECIALLY insane Socialist moonbat ones, aren’t used to having the “Unassailable Victim Card” played AGAINST THEM.
If Palin wins, she can attack these victim-using attacks by saying she UNDERSTANDS the plight of Working Mothers, the Handicapped, healthcare, unionists, etc., and she thinks you are WRONG.
Using-The-Victim attacks are a HALLMARK of today’s Democrat Party Propoganda.

Maybe it would be easier to make a list of people who haven't trashed Sarah?
Yes, WHY didn’t she complain about Biden’s grandchildren? They were there, also, and some of them were pretty young and probably should have been in bed. Suzy Shuster is an absolute witch!!!
Trig is a mirror held up to the soul of every woman who has supported abortion. It’s just too hideous for them to see.
And whats more, they can't touch her.
She is impervious to there slander.
I do fear for her continued safety. I hope her security is loyal and highly effective.
Her hubby is her last line of defence. I hope he is packing heat.
That is just disgusting. By the way, that site is NOT safe for work. I can hear the company computer police walking to my cube right now. ;)
It burns the crap oput of Dems to watch Sarah get votes by carrying Trig around. I have no problem with that at all. She gets votes every time she winks at a camera.
But getting votes is not the reason Sarah is carrying Trig around.
These A$$ HAT Dem women from their ivy league schools think that they know in their arrogance " what is best for the child."
They have no freekin idea.
Trig would rather be with his mom, wherever she is, under whatever condition. These barren handmaidens of vagina monologue proportions have no clue about raising children.
I believe that she and her husband do have at least one son.
“...make sure he is tucked safely in his bed and out cold at eleven pm.”
Isn’t it amazing how, suddenly, liberals become so “traditional” while trashing conservatives. I have no doubt Suzy would’ve sentenced little Trig to death were she the expectant mother who’d just found out he had Down’s.
There could be a still, plain photograph of SP sitting around and
these women would screach about her shoving her religion/values down their throats.
They view SP’s life is an accusation.
