Palin wrote an e-mail to friends pretending to be God: ‘Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.’
In a new article in next month’s Vanity Fair by Todd Purdum, former McCain presidential campaign aides unload on former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, calling her a “Little Shop of Horrors,” a “diva,” and a “whack job.” The exposé also reveals that Palin, in an e-mail to her friends announcing the birth of her baby Trig, pretended to play God:
When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”
Also, Purdum reports that Palin lied about not having insurance to show “she could empathize with uninsured Americans.” Palin insisted that in her early years of marriage, she and husband Todd did not have coverage, when in fact they had catastrophic coverage. Palin “insisted that catastrophic insurance didn’t really count and need not be revealed.”

So she purposely created a child with Down syndrome? Seems kinda cruel to me…
June 30th, 2009 at 12:12 pmI discount the sanity and the thoughts of anyone who voted for that dingaling.
She is the embodiment of the current repiggie intellectual sclerosis.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:15 pmAnother Joe says…
Not more TP backwash! Who’s ever heard of this Sara Plane woman, anyway?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:16 pmPalin “insisted that catastrophic insurance didn’t really count and need not be revealed.”
You don’t count as far as I’m concerned , Bible Spice Palin ; therefore , you should leave office immediately…….
June 30th, 2009 at 12:16 pmThe first line of the article says all you need to know about republican integrity and values:
So, republicans don’t care if you’re an idiot, incompetent or a ‘whack job,’ as long as they can use some sort of image to bamboozle voters.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:18 pmWhen will she start publicly nursing the baby?
That woman craves attentiion. Anyone around her can serve as a prop.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:18 pmShe’s feeling quite complimented — she didn’t read past “Little” in “Little Shop of Horrors.”
time for a mornin’ run.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:19 pmWell, she has pimped out her other kids to get a little media attention. I guess she finally got around to exploiting the most helpless of her spawn.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:23 pmWith a media whore like that for a Mom, I predict a future shortage of psychoanalysts in Alaska.
Northern Exposure II anyone?
Palin wrote an e-mail to friends pretending to be God: ‘Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.’
Can anyone please explain who in the world would want to be friends with this nitwit ?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:24 pmIf she’s a heavenly “father,” does that make her and and the first dud gay married?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:25 pmCan we get a twofer on Repug resignations?
Palin and Sanford? What a to-go package that would be!
June 30th, 2009 at 12:27 pmI’d be a little worried about lightning bolts and earth-opening-up stuff, what with the blasphemy ‘n all.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:27 pmSo what?
There’s a lot of baggage that Sarah brings to the table, stuff that makes her genuinely unfit for serious consideration of the kind that the Republican Party appears to be affording her.
This email is not part of that baggage. It’s trivial and insignificant.
Grow up a little, TP.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:27 pmShe yammers on about being such a “christian” and all that.
Why isn’t she a fulltime mom, staying at home and taking care of her family?
That’s what her holy roller cult preaches 24/7.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:27 pm…
this is god™, your heavenly father.
sarah is an idiot.
† † †
that is all.
?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:30 pmWhy is this crazy beotch continuously in the news? Enough already.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:31 pmWhew.
Hubris much, Sarah…?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:31 pm…
me again.
creating the universe in seven days is not “trivial”.
† † †
that is all.

June 30th, 2009 at 12:32 pmI’ve heard of evangelicals doing this before. It’s not all that unusual.
My question is this: Who is she trying to convince?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:33 pmNice grandkid, Palin.
“Oh hi everyone, this God. By the way Sarah was pregnant. Suprise! I know, I know, nobody noticed, but really she was…
June 30th, 2009 at 12:34 pmYeah, and she was a virgin when she got married to Todd … because all those other guys didn’t count, either.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:35 pmFacts prove that Trig, although mentally retarded, is already proving to be more intelligent than his Mother.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:36 pmIs there any eyewitness evidence as to whether Palin was actually pregnant?
Any pictures of the pregnancy in 2007-2008?
I’ve never seen one.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:36 pmI read the VF article and it is quite good and informative.As I have said before McWars didn`t want her as his running mate he had no choice in my view,Caribou Barbie was the party`s choice not his,she was there to “bamboozle” the base with her looks and lack of brain power,you betcha!
June 30th, 2009 at 12:37 pmI agree with Ralph, this is lame.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:39 pmIt’s interesting that whoever posted this thread didn’t want their name associated with it, and posted under the generic title, Think Progress.
Great. Now she’s going to be all over the so-called news media defending herself and claiming that it’s all hogwash.
Plus now I hear that HarperCollins has offered her a book deal worth an estimated $7-$11 Million dollars. So she’ll get good and rich and we’ll be subjected to her for years. Joy.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:40 pmDr Matt,The re-pukes can`t stand the truth so they will definitely be out in droves to protect her and her family values.Once again hypocrisy abounds with the Reich and their ideals.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pmPalin and Sanford and all the rest of the phony moralists are merely public relations props for the most extreme in this country. Republican consiliares, using Luntzs’ talking points and study groups, advise lackeys what to say to fool the naive and gullible: to bad America has such an oversupply of them. It now appears the DLC Dems are using the same tactics to sucker the rest of us into supporting their extreme corpratist agenda with the help of the Obama administration. We lose again, as usual. No justice, no peace!!! End this freaking corrupt cycle now!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pmI could see her becoming a cult leader. That would be a good career option for her in the near future.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pmAll I ever want or need from Sarah Palin is a good clear picture (taken by me)of her exposed breasts!!!!!
I know that Playboy or Penthouse would pay at least a Million for the picture. This is the only way I’m going to get out of this rescession and afford health care and keep me house! Oh wait…Im Canadian, I guess I’ll just buy pot with it instead since we have a roof over our heads, Single payer health care and still working….Geez i better read some boring Canadian news….LOL.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:43 pmPurdum’s article is a great wrap-up of all we’ve learned about Sarah Palin with two glaring exceptions: (1) her “7 Mountains” extreme fundamentalist connection and (2) the glaring inconsistencies in her pregnancy story with the DS child that is basically her entire right-to-life ticket to ride.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:45 pmIt is a given that we will be subjected to media fawning about her for the next several years. The corporations that control the 24/7 “news” channels are all in the pocket for her. She would probably end any sort of tax on these corporations.
Taxes are for little people.
So let’s just keep lampooning and skewering that moron.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:46 pmShe carries that kid like a bag of flour.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:50 pmThis is side dish BS. I’m all for pointing out Palin’s political blunders but this should be beneath TP.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:51 pmWhat does her witch doctor have to say about this unjustified attack on her and her family?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:52 pmIs there any way she can blame David Letterman for this and then demand an apology?
June 30th, 2009 at 1:00 pmIt says that the GOP didn’t learn a thing from the GWBush debacle. That is exactly what she is – W in pumps, a vacuous hypocrite who is not smart enough to know how smart she isn’t…
June 30th, 2009 at 1:01 pm“…she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it ‘Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.’”
An imperfect God it turns out.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:01 pmAnd here all this time I thought it was the holy ghost who was the godhead impregnator??? WTF???
June 30th, 2009 at 1:02 pmAlso, Purdum reports that Palin lied about not having insurance to show “she could empathize with uninsured Americans.”
Palin’s willingness to lie concerns me more than her “email from god.”
She tells bald-faced lies at every turn, and when caught she lies again in order to assert that her initial lie didn’t really count.
This woman claims higher ground because she’s a (c)hristian, but fails to hold herself to the same standard to which she holds everyone else.
How, exactly, is this a good (c)hristian woman?
June 30th, 2009 at 1:02 pmThinking God would stick a name like “Trig” on any of His creatures is profoundly blasphemous. Same goes for Wank, Slalom, Sauron and Riboflavin or whatever the hell the rest of her Midwich Cuckoos’ names are.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:04 pmThats the problem with repugs and cons they bring god into everything. Religion has created so many wars around the world. Bible thumping god fearing and religious fanatics are so blinded by their faith that they dont even recognize the destruction they cause around the globe.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:07 pmTrig is way too fat. They must just stuff food in his mouth to shut him up. That is not good parenting. Perhaps they need counseling on how best to raise a Downs child.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:12 pm.
Palin = Daryyll??

She totally brings out the sexist pig in me too. Normally I’m the quintessential 21st century male feminist in all walks of life, but every time I see that silly b!tch I just … RRR!
June 30th, 2009 at 1:38 pm“Trig’s creator, the almighty lord of darkness, Satan”
June 30th, 2009 at 1:41 pmIf Sarah Palin is God, I guess Joe the Plumber is Jesus Christ, and John McCain is the Holy Ghost.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:42 pmshoeless Says:If Sarah Palin is God, I guess Joe the Plumber is Jesus Christ, and John McCain is the Holy Ghost.
ooooh!!! maybe all the O’Reilly-prompted insect names could change to patron saints . . .
. . . like, say, Patty of Reese’s!
June 30th, 2009 at 1:54 pmThe fact that McCain put this country at risk by picking her is the important issue her. He put his desire to be president before country and now he wants to pontificate on President Obama’s plans. If Senators had any conscience they would discipline him for picking her.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:54 pmIt is rumored that Bristol’s baby phoned Tom Cruise and asked his permission to date his daughter……….
June 30th, 2009 at 1:56 pmWaitaminnit here…
You say she claimed not to have had health insurance when she actually did have insurance at the time?
Butbutbut…
But that would mean she… she… lied!
A politician? A Republican politician?
LIE??
Couldn’t be.

Seriously? Scratch the surface of that woman, and you’ll find a bubbling cesspool of pus and bile.
That’s hawt! :-D
June 30th, 2009 at 2:05 pmAt least God doesn’t pretend to be a politician.
June 30th, 2009 at 2:05 pmAlso, Purdum reports that Palin lied about not having insurance to show “she could empathize with uninsured Americans.”
If she wanted to show that “she could empathize with uninsured Americans”, why didn’t she just do something to help them get insurance?
June 30th, 2009 at 2:06 pmWhy does the Christian god always let his followers show him up like this? Looks like he is either a pussy, or he’s asleep at the wheel. If she tried that shit with Zeus, he would probably hit her with a lightning bolt.
June 30th, 2009 at 2:11 pmnote how “god” is always male. always “father”.
that’s highly offensive to me. as offensive as moose-o-lini claiming to be “god”.
June 30th, 2009 at 2:15 pmWhoa! I’m getting the impression from these comments that lots of folks believe that she is not God. If she’s not God, why else was John McCain always moaning, “Oh God Sarah, oh God”?
June 30th, 2009 at 2:26 pmYeah, I hear that really pisses off Gaia too.
June 30th, 2009 at 2:28 pmYou know how it is. We men are always late for everything except sporting events.
June 30th, 2009 at 2:46 pm“pretended to play God”
What makes you think she was either kidding or pretending ?
June 30th, 2009 at 3:18 pmHeh. This doesn’t have much to do with anything, but *I* think Sarah Palin found all her kid’s names at Ikea….
Seriously.
June 30th, 2009 at 3:37 pmAll of these self-righteous pseudo-religious hypocrites are insulting the collective intelligence of the American people. They banter biblical references around and continually refer to “God’s will” and “God’s plan” as though they are somehow “divinely chosen” to be politicians.
God does not play favorites in the realm of politics any more than He favors one football team over another.

How, exactly, is this a good (c)hristian woman?
This really isn’t all that weird. I want it to be–her and all her anti-intellectual constituents are offensive to me and dangerous to this country, but I suspect this is more a mother affirming her child to her community. She does enough disturbing thing that we don’t have to include everything she does.
