OMG: I didn't Realize they Dressed Poor Little Trig as an Elephant for Halloween

[JCMach1]

Poor little dude...

[begin_within]

1. And the girl went as a lamp?

[Why Syzygy]

2. "Snow Princess"

Watched live.

[JCMach1]

7. I am seeing White Witch straight out of Narnia

:)

Also, Piper doesn't look too amused.

[Why Syzygy]

14. She lacks self confidence,

unlike the Obama children, who are secure in themselves. Piper doesn't get what she needs. She lives with freepers. You could see when they were on stages, she was constantly trying to get attention from her mother.

[JCMach1]

18. Maybe she just doesn't like being a prop... Wonder what those costumes cost the RNC?

[jakem]

23. I thought Caribou Barbie wanted to be the snow princess...

[nxylas]

41. Sarah loves lamp

[all.of.me]

59. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the guffaw!!!!! I bet you said that with a straight face.

:rofl:

[Cleita]

3. I saw that, in other footage, but I just noticed Piper's outfit.

What is she supposed to be and why is she standing on the edge of her foot? It seems she is awfully tired.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. BRAND NEW shoes. They probably hurt her feet...

:evilgrin:

[Egnever]

4. Why doesnt that woman hold her child?

It bugs the hell out of me.

[Cleita]

8. Be grateful she doesn't

The few times I have seen her hold him, he isn't supported, sort of like a child holding a teddy bear. I have to say Todd held the child more like it should have been held from what I saw.

[silverojo]

11. My mom can't stand the way she "holds" her baby, either

Unlike Sarah, my mother is a good mommy. :)

I'm sick of people like Sarah Palin, using their kids as status symbols.

[BrklynLiberal]

5. There was a poster here on DU

who kept calling the baby Prop..."Oh that's right, It's Trig. Why do I keep calling that baby Prop???"

[Catshrink]

9. Is Todd wearing a codpiece or something?

[progressivebydesign]

10. Do those parents EVER hold that child?? WTF? n/t

[HamstersFromHell]

12. At the risk of being politically incorrect...

I offer a few gems of comments about Palin from Fark:

Someone commented that: "For Halloween, Trig was dressed as the symbol of the GOP: A retarded elephant."

About her hockey game appearances:

"No hockey town wants her there...she appeared in Philly, and the Flyers had a 6 game losing streak. She went to St. Louis, and one of their starting players tripped on the carpet they laid out on the ice for her and was lost a few games due to injury...she's totally bad luck."

Also commented: "I heard she's going to be in St Louis to drop puck, and I thought "WTF? She's having another kid?"

[arewenotdemo]

39. "drop Puck".

Now that's funny.

[CreekDog]

13. Why did they name their kid Trig?

should have named him Prop.

[npk]

15. Cause all the really good names were taken. n/t

[tanyev]

21. The next one's going to be named Vice.

Middle name, President.

[roody]

49. Because they can't pronounce Calculus.

[KitSileya]

16. That isn't Bristol holding Trig, is it?

'Cause that woman isn't 7 months pregnant for sure.

[SoCalDem]

17. weeping willow is the nanny

:(

[KitSileya]

27. Is Willow their middle child? nt

[SoCalDem]

28. yep..two older..2 younger (if you count grandson Trig)

:evilgrin:

[DesertRat]

46. She and the younger one should be in school

:(

[Bippity Boo]

19. this picture looks like an outtake from "The Shining"

it's very frightening... scary children, scary parents

[tanyev]

20. Is Piper dressed as Lyra from The Golden Compass?

I thought the fundies hated that book.

[dissemination]

22. I hope they will all do well as a family.

[Obamarama]

24. WTF? The election is over. NEWS FLASH: WE WON. You can go now.

You should really just stop embarrassing yourself. You remind me of the pitiful, psycho Japanese soldiers who failed to accept that WW2 was over and that they had lost.

Off with you....go hang out with all the other trolls wherever it is you people hang out - just make sure it's not here on DU because we will separate you out from the pack and chase you down.

[dissemination]

26. I hope all families do well. When families

do well, we, as a nation do well--no matter what political persuasion they come from.

[CitizenPatriot]

29. that's a nice sentiment

and I think everyone here is actually saying the same thing; they feel bad for her kids, as they should. You don't see good parents keeping their kids out of school to further their political agenda. Furthermore, Trig has special needs and should not be around bright lights and loud noises. Those things aren't good for ANY baby, but especially not a special needs baby. It's sensory overload for young bodies. It's been proven scientifically and known for decades. Babies also thrive when they are held close and safe, near the heartbeat of their mothers. It's unspeakably sad to watch the way Sarah Palin treats her kids.

And I've never commented on her family before now. I didn't want it to be a political weapon. It's free game now that she lost.

[WinkyDink]

32. Oh, really? Bless your heart.

[blondeatlast]

37. "God Love ya." (Joe Biden)

[mokawanis]

30. Don't worry about that

chances are they'll all grow up to be nutty republicans like their parents. Hope I'm wrong.

[WinkyDink]

31. WTH cares about these ignorant greedheads, as they continue to try to rip off the Alaskan treasury?

[bobd0]

34. Problem is, they don't give a shit about anyone else's family. If you don't believe me

just consider the wacky ideas Palin supports. The same misinformed, wacky ideas that got millions of American families into their current dire straits.

[Berry Cool]

25. Word has it that Trig has informed the press that next Halloween,

he will dress himself as a donkey.

Quote: "I may have Down's syndrome, but I'm not stupid."

[applegrove]

33. Cute little elephant costume for a cute baby.

[stuntcat]

43. yeah, elephants rock

I'm sorry people hate them so much just because republicans use them. I think the outfit's kinda cute.

[Sheltiemama]

44. I thought it was cute, too.

Plus, it looked like it kept him warm.

[Patsy Stone]

35. One of the more psychotic moments of the campaign.

And Willow and her little Miracle on 34th Street/Nutcracker outfit was a bit much too.

[Madam Mossfern]

48. Stop that now

that's very mean spirited. I have no issue with the baby being dressed up and Willow's costume is really very nice.

Sheesh!

[Patsy Stone]

51. That baby

was not in costume because he wanted to be dressed like an elephant.

You know, it took me a while to find even one picture of Obama's kids in their costume; and when I did, it was because he was taking her to a party, not showing her off on stage at a campaign rally.

And, my bad, it's Piper, not Willow. Still, those outfits were really expensive and were for publicity purposes only. I have nothing against these children, but I do have something against their parents using them as political props.

[Madam Mossfern]

55. Trig did not know the difference

Lots of people dress their babies up for Halloween. The outfit was cute and it looks comfortable. If you want to rail against him being subjected to the noise and lights of a rally, that's one thing, but dressing him up is not so much out of the ordinary.

Why else would they have costumes that size?

http://www.infashionkids.com/bacobahaco.html

Surely all those moms who buy those costumes for their infants are not abusive.

[Patsy Stone]

57. I never said it was abusive

I said he was used as a prop.

[mkultra]

36. I still think trig is Bristols baby

i waiting to see if bristols "current" pregnancy actually delivers :|

[rdublue]

50. I think so too.

[Nevernose]

58. Wasn't she due in late October?

If that was an accurate due date (and if I'm not just making stuff up again :silly:), then the poor kid must be enormous.

And I agree: Trig is Bristol's kid.

[mkultra]

62. you know, i cant remember. Ill post an OP

[bunnies]

38. Well... he is the "mascot" after all. nt

[Robeson]

40. This nation dodged a serious bullet with that crew.

[Jennicut]

42. Say what we will about Todd and Sarah as people and parents

but little Piper and little Trig are very very cute. Too bad they couldn't have better parents, ones that won't force crazy cult religion on them. We see how well Bristol turned out. And Track was a drug user and vandalizer before ending up in the military. Sheesh, these people are bad parents. Maybe the Obamas or Bidens can adopt them?

[DesertRat]

45. Christian fundies aren't supposed to celebrate Halloween.

Just saying.

[DesertRat]

47. To quote my 77 year old Mother

That little baby should be in his own crib and not being dragged around exposed to crowds and germs.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. we won, i think its time for us to move on.

[1Hippiechick]

53. That's one of the better pix. The one I saw she had him propped on her hip facing AWAY from her--

like a damn package.

I feel sorry for her kids! It will be interesting to see if her daughter gets married NOW.

[1Hippiechick]

54. These double posts are becoming annoying!

[road2000]

56. Did anybody notice...

After the non-triumphal return to Alaska, when Palin was asked about 2012 and she cited the kids. First she kind up pumped Trig, then reached down to touch a finger to the smallest girl's face. The girl flinched. Having been spanked mercilessly with a belt and yardsticks as a kid, I felt some recognition.

Hope I'm wrong.

[SarahB]

60. This is kind of petty. nt

[QueenOfCalifornia]

61. Out of all the shit

on the plate of this country right now, you decided that throwing more poop about the baby is a vital topic here?

What is even more weird is just how happy a lot of people are to make crazy comments about a baby in a Halloween costume.

My son, born on October 10th 1999 made the cutest little pumpkin ever. Big deal.

We all know that Sarah treats that baby like a pile of crap but dressing him in a costume is not a big deal. sigh.
