Why should anyone feel sorry for her? I should be so lucky!

Yeah, look at all the fame Anna Nicole got for having done nothing noteworthy.

ITA I especially like the part of not being the VP.

She used them as an excuse.
She brought them into the conversation.
I responded to her comment.
How would I know if she was childed or not if she didn't present the information and use it as an excuse?
There's a difference between an excuse and a reason. I think you're just trying to justify a classless attack.

I'm thoroughly expecting some kind of sit-com to result from this. And of course a book deal.

My opinion is that when you bring your children as an excuse, you make them fair game.
If they're that distracting, perhaps the parenting part should come in.

I find it interesting that you think I'm a "palinista" because I don't think it's cool to blame kids when it's convenient.

I don't know if it's hit print yet but CNN has played that clip from Limbaugh's radio show. Wow. Talk about a stupid comment. She did, though, follow her "I have nothing to lose" within a few seconds with "but America does". I think the McCain campaign was much wiser to keep Palin's mouth taped and her hidden away from anyone who understands the spoken word, reads sign language or reads lips. How many holes do you suppose McCain's numerous homes have in their walls from his beating his head on them over his 'energize the base' VP pick?

Your dislike of children and people who have children is well know. I just think it is very telling that you seized upon that one part of a person's remarks to once again attack parents.

Why didn't you try reading the OP and responding to the content? Did you really get anything from attacking a misspelling?

I really don't care but I 'm a very good parent in fact. I have 7 children and until earlier this year was a Foster parebt to 45 . We have adopted as well. I didn't use my children as a excuse. I didn't spell a few words right. Get a life.
