Short Robe, Short Bus, Short Life For A Nation Of Sheep

TBogg like to had an aneurysm Tuesday upon seeing one of Sarah's frocks.

Others are on Thread Watch, & have found another doozy.

All well & good. We've sported some amusing threads ourself. (In the early '70s. Some of us eventually wise up.) But this creeps us out, if that's a strong enough phrase.

Ben Smith of Politico has written an article examining how central Trig has become to Sarah Palin's political popularity:

In the months since she returned to the public spotlight, Sarah Palin’s continually evolving political identity has undergone a subtle change as her public persona centers increasingly on her disabled son, Trig.
. . .
But the most striking evidence of her son’s impact has been Palin’s book tour promoting her memoir, “Going Rogue.” As she descends from her tour bus or private jet to meet her fans, 19-month-old Trig has been a conspicuous presence — and generated a huge response. “There’s a lot of people who come through the line to see Trig instead of to see her,” says Jason Recher, a campaign aide who remained close to Palin and is now accompanying her on her book tour.
. . .
For Palin, Trig has proved both a powerful political rallying point and a kind of shield.

We'll just keep our fingers off the keys & our figurative mouth shut about the concept of a retarded Jesus (Spontaneously fathered by the Holy Ghost of Elvis? Certainly the same heartland demographic.) being worshiped by the anti-intellects & "common sensers." Nor will we even once mention the FLDS women in polygamous marriages who hope their next child will have Down's syndrome (easier to handle among the quiverful, & welfare money: Win-win!).

And we wouldn't type word one about how nations insufferably proud of their stupidity & deliberate in their ignorance are not long for this world. Not us, you fucking imbecilic sheep.
