Part of the importance of Palin’s facebook writer lashing out in the names of Palin and one of her daughters this past week being countered by the real actress behind a voice on a cartoon show, is that once again, Palin’s treatment of Trig, before and after he was born, needs to be far more closely scrutinized than has been the case.
Down Syndrome victor, Andrea Fay Friedman has presented the most clear image in our nation’s history of a person successfully realizing and fulfilling life, while dealing day to day with her tough challenge. Andrea’s descriptions of her upbringing, education and professional career are compelling. Her immediate criticism of Palin’s comment about the show Andrea had voiced was as straightforward and honest as Palin’s posts Andrea was responding to had been patronizing and dishonest.
It’s important to revisit how bizarre Palin’s atitude toward Trig is:
She only disclosed the pregnancy very late. She hid Trig so intentionally, that her slimness has helped give credibility to some who question whether or not she really did give him birth. Knowing that her fifth child’s delivery might be risky to the unborn person in her womb, she flew all over the place. Then she flew all over the place again and again. Then her water broke, and she flew all over the place with Trig again. And again.
Palin has now given at least five conflicting versions of the last 50 hours of her most recent pregnancy. The most recent version, given in Texas this past week, has her quitting a speech early at an event the day before Trig was born. The statement made this week is at odds with each of the other four versions, each of which is at odds with at least one element of the remaining four.
Although Palin has stated numerous times that she has produced a public birth certificate for Trig, there is no such document. The MSNBC emails revealed that a medical insurance query had asked for it.
As Andrea said on Thursday, "my mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of french bread."
Images of Palin on the campaign trail in 2008 with her younger son, and on the book tour, show Palin doing just that. Again and again.
I’ve seen enough posts, gotten enough emails and comments about Palin’s irresponsibility and disregard for Trig to fill a large book. Many of the comments at my blog have been on the mark, and share life experiences from women who, had they treated their late pregnancies as Palin did hers, would have resulted in the death of, or lasting disability to the baby.
Then there’s the stress the unborn kid who is going to need extra help is undergoing in a pregnancy such as we now know Palin was inflicting. To me, that’s the weirdest aspect of Palin’s conduct then. She had to know what she was doing was hurting him.
Didn’t she?
"like a loaf of french bread."
I wasn’t upset with Palin’s public appearances that included Trig during the 2008 presidential campaign during the campaign itself. The way she seemed to not connect very well with Trig during the well-covered book tour bothered me, though.
The way her people so indignantly jumped on Rahm Emanuel recently for something he had said way, way last summer was also weird. Then Palin gave Limbaugh a pass for worse. "Satire," Palin explained.
Andrea says:
I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm”.
Andrea Fay Friedman’s challenge to Palin Friday was this:
I’d like to see [unclear] a normal environment for Trig, and have a normal life like I have, and don’t treat him like he’s a loaf of bread.
That’s not right. He needs a normal life. Like I have.

Andrea was a hero even before this recent exchange. Kudos to her and her family.
Another thing that seems to have gone unnoticed amid the phony Palin controversy is that in the larger context of the Family Guy episode, the character voiced by Andrea is depicted as confident, competent, and desirable.
For that, I believe the staff of Family Guy deserve credit rather than condemnation.
the character voiced by Andrea is depicted as confident, competent, and desirable.
… and witty.
ET, this is a stunning clip. My brother has mental retardation, though not Down Syndrome. But many of his friends do. Friends. Work colleagues. My brother and many of his peers live semi-independently in our communities and are wonderful neighbors and citizens. People who pay taxes. People who vote. People who speak to our legislators about what they need and hope for.
This is an absolutely heart-filling interview. Thank you so much for posting it here.
Both my wife and I have worked extensively with children and adults with, as Andrea characterizes, “challenges.” Beyond the very personal case of Trig, Palin has not shown much sign of understanding or depth on these issues.
My Alaska blogging buddy, Gryph, has collected some of the statements made in defense of Palin, attacking Ms. Friedman:
Re the MSNBC email request form the State of Alaska and the email exchange regarding the birth certificate for Trig, I didn’t realize Andrew Sullivan was one of the writers covering it. Makes sense, though:
Multiple stories, multiple lies
Whats on a birth certificate that gots you interested ET?
I don’t know what is on it. I’m fascinated that she keeps claiming she has produced it, yet has not.
Sarah seems to use her kid as an accessory to get votes. Andrea is right he kid needs a normal life.
Sarah should step up and tell her stalker fans to back off. If they go after a Down’s Syndrome girl Sarah might as well go back home.
I’m still trying to figure out why the airline let her on the plane if she was at least 8 months pregnant. A friend was told she couldn’t board the plane because, even though she was only 6 months along, she LOOKED like 8. Because she didn’t have any documentation with her to prove her status, the airline wouldn’t let her on the flight.
I mean, jesus. How important was this speech in Texas, anyway?
Rcmd, ET. I don’t usually follow celebs, but it’s interesting watching Sarah and her followers.
Heh. Even Mexico is more dilligent.
I was 5 months pregnant. Bought an antique rifle at the national pawn show in Mexico City, wrapped in brown paper, tied in string, looking for all the world like a rifle wrapped in brown paper & tied in string. Carrying it boarding plane to Cozumel. No metal detectors. Getting sweaty. Finally as I was about to walk onto the tarmac, an alarmed attendant signalled me to halt, much to my relief. An English speaker arrived, and queried: How pregnant are you?
VERY Important!!! Straw poll was fun.
I did fly back & forth from West Coast in my 8th month. Never asked any Qs. Was 1981, though. From my 15, you can see that Mexico was more diligent about pregnancy, though not about guns.
Oh, my word. That could be straight from a Mel Brooks movie.
I met a couple yesterday at a housing meeting who house developmentally disabled. They don’t use group homes. I do know exactly what their business plan is but funding is a problem for them. Sometimes they find a roomate situation with like folks. Some clients have assests others not. So sharing a home seems like a very nice way to help another developmentally disabled.
That is really funny in an ironic way. Pop pop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is.
Ed – does anyone know if Trig is receiving benefits at all? Is he receiving the help he needs and deserves?
Thought it was pretty bizarre myself.
To complete the story, we flew back to NYC by way of New Orleans. At the point of entry, NO, they saw the rifle wrapped … and said they would have to get ATF to certify entry into U.S. We ripped a bit of brown paper from the end of the barrel so they could look down, claimed, rightly, that it was an antique that hadn’t been fired in years, and they let us in with no additional paperword. My, how times have changed.
Late husband’s friend who we ran into in Mexico after purchase, who claimed to know, said that it was a Mexican revolutionary rifle. Can’t prove it by me, but makes a good story.
So many ironies in this story, in this post. I read the comments in the NYT – many, many pointing out Andrea’s comment about Palin carrying Trig like a loaf of bread.
Then a few amazing ones, like the one who equates Andrea’s earning a living as an acress playing characters she is uniquely equipped to play as “using her Down’s to make money”—-WTF? Most merely accuse her parents of “using” or “taking advantage” of Andrea.
Guess those posters would keep such a child of their own wrapped in tissue paper and “protected” in a locked room without ever having to learn to speak complete sentences (never mind a second language, like Andrea!)or learn to care for herself.
If Palin keeps carrying Trig the way she dos, he’s in danger of not even learning to walk. And what’s with standing around in the cold night in winter, outdoors, holding Trig carelessly, without even putting a coat or hat or sweater on the poor baby? That’s neglect of a healthy kid, for dog’s sake.
[gentle rebuke] It’s terrific when you say things in more than three sentences. Illuminating, insightful and humorous.
Please do more. :)
I think someone asked Alaska Air, and they didn’t have a problem. On the other hand, it was the governor, and she probably already had a reputation for causing trouble to people who crossed her.
Or is he just being carted around like a load of bread?
?
Gentle rebuke & say more?
Really. ‘Course, I suppose being all self-reliant, independent, conservative fiscal-and-persolnal responsibility militants like the Palins are, they wouldn’t care to rely on the state (struggling to keepa straight face here) for benefits to be paid to their child. Who they can pefectly support themselves. Butt out, state, none of yer business.
When can we expect Orly Taitz to begin filing lawsuits demanding Palin “show the birth certificate?”
Hmmm, think maybe I’ll whip up a few signs to carry to the next local Tea
baggerparty (oops, my bad) rally…. Anyone else in?Not to be snotty, but perhaps we need to rethink our opinion in terms of what Palin’s goal is for Trig.

Yeah, I’m your arch-friend!
You so often distill to such small output. I say since you’re not working at messaging for firms, just expand. You’re a huge personality with such a big experience.
Take some space! Expand! You’re funny and you have a lot to say.
not an expert by any means, but i recall reading that Down syndrome babies are hypersensitive to sound and light. Yet Palin was toting Trig around those very loud, brightly lit convention halls as if he were immune to sensory stimulation.
if anybody here can educate me a little more on the Down syndrome infant’s needs, I’d appreciate it.
Good Q to ask since Sarah seemed eager to rip of Alaska for every benefit possible.
I still don’t get it. I think I’ve told my whole story, esp as it relates to the subject of this post. What more can I reveal?
Andrea is right, the only thing that matters at the end of the day is that Trig has a normal life with his family, like she has. I hope Ms Palin takes that to heart. Thank you for posting her interview here.
Trig would have to find a different family in order to lead a “normal” life.
His parents are quickly becoming very wealthy, and he has always had the medical care of the upper middle class or better. So the problem of lack of means to get adequate access has never been there.
I’m happy that this diary has gotten to the front page @ fdl. Unfortunately, Ms. ET and I have to leave for a concert in about ten minutes.
Here’s the Down’s wiki.
Early in my career I worked in a cytogenetics lab. Among other studies, we collected blood and grew it in tissue culture from Boston City Hospital admitees who had obvious symtoms of chromosome abnormalities.
Kelly – interesting. I’ve never thought eCAHN was unusually concise – maybe what she says is plenty-just enough, dunno. Or maybe she says more some places?
Dunno, eCAHN – are your Caturday posts longer? I never thought about it one way or another. Am aware that I often blab on and on…..
I appreciate the abbreviated versions eCAHN gives. So much internet and so little time!!
♪♫♪♫
Sarah should butt out of this since Bristol is obviously the mother. And Sarah really should stop shlepping Trig around like a loaf of bread.
Beats the shit out of me. What more can I say? Ask & I’ll respond.
eCAHN look, one of your better illuminations was the post you did about the NY Freethinkers/Atheists, when you went to that meeting. Link escapes me at the moment.
That post had a gazillion words, for you! And it was great.
I’m just saying, I think you self censor for brevity in comments, and I think you should actually expand a bit. Nothing about your personal self.
You have a lot to say, and I don’t think brevity is your friend, as much as I like your attitude about concision.
Lurves me some eCAHN! I’m just saying…
I agree.
I’m a big fan of brevity myself as anything that can’t be stated in one sentence is probably better left unsaid.
Just kidding, sometimes two sentences are necessary.
Fine. Just let me know the way u would like me to expand & I’ll try to do so.
Bristol is Trigs mother not pinhead Sarah.
Courtesy of instant analysis on cable biz channels, I’ve tried to distill meaninful essence into a sound bite. Happy to expand when sound bite is incomprehensible. Just let me know.
Here’s the paragraph on health issues from the National Association for Down Syndrome home page:
The heart defects mention reminds me that when I was growing up in the dark ages of the 50′s and 60′s, Downs children usually died very young, under 3 or 4 yrs. of age. Does anybody remember Dale Evans’s heartbreaking book, “Angel Unaware?” about their Down’s daughter, who died at around 2 yrs old, IIRC.
Highly unlikely, as Bristol’s child was born too soon after Trig.
I like concise comments.
Who doesn’t?
I’m not trying to tell you how to write.
I’m just saying I know who you are, and what you have to say is really, reliable, if not important and so forth when it comes to economics and power structures.
I guess I’d just say, look, if it takes another line or two to explain on thise subjects, do THAT in lieu of shorter. That’s all.
I find your opinions valuable, once they’re teased all the way out of you. *g*
Here’s what really freaks me out: Her water broke at 4:00 am when she was in bed in her hotel room the morning of the day she was scheduled to speak at the Dallas Republican governor’s conference.
If you are pregnant and your water breaks, that’s the sign to GET TO A HOSPITAL OR FIND A MIDWIFE, PRONTO! As in NOW, DAMMIT! Infection and other issues are a serious danger if the baby isn’t delivered immediately.
But what does Palin actually do? Well, she doesn’t go to a hospital right away, that’s for sure.
She told the NYT that she called her doctor, who she said gave her the OK to go ahead and make her presentation before going to the hospital. (The doctor refused to comment on the record for the NYT.)
So she makes the speech at lunchtime. This is eight hours after the water broke. (She either had the world’s best set of Depends or she was leaving a trail of amniotic fluid everywhere she went.) Does she go to a Dallas hospital?
Nope — she flew to Seattle, then to Anchorage, a ten-hour trip, allegedly so she could have the baby on Alaskan soil. It is now eighteen hours since her water broke. (By the way: The flight attendants, who as you noted are trained to spot such things, had no idea she was even pregnant, much less in her eighth month, even much less flying with her water having broken hours before.)
Okay, she’s now on Alaskan soil and Anchorage has top-notch hospitals. Let’s have the baby now, OK?
But no. She instead drives herself to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, 45 minutes away, and right outside Wasilla, the town where she was mayor. Trig Palin is then delivered one month premature, Friday night. She returns to work after three days.
Just. Un. Believeable.
Hey, Kelly, eCAHN – I suspect that some of us are just naturally gabby and some naturally brief.
We prolix types, no doubt including Kelly along with me, just can’t quite comprehend that concision comes naturally to some of us. Witness our beloved eCAHN’s bewilderment.
We’re just built differently in the brain, no doubt.
I’m sure Kelly means no offense, eCAHN, and Kelly, eCAHN is being herself, so doesn’t get where you’re ocming from. My take, as one who must edit and cut my own verbosity. Sometimes I even do it in a blog post. *g*
Kelly.
Rayne has treats, upstairs!
FDL Cutting Room Roundup: Saturday Evening Video
[I'll be quiet now. *slinks*]
Agreed.
I understand that. What I’m asking is, in the context of the current thread, what other qs do you have?
Just wear something slinky, sweetums. :-)
She drove herself? How many hours later?
But, then given the multiple versions, how much should be believed?
Obviously, this kind of weirdness – both if the facts are true as related in this version – and her mutually incompatible changing versions — are the reason the speculation that Trig is really Bristol’s kid won’t go away.
And yet, Obama has never varied an iota from the facts of his own birth, but the birthers won’t give up…..
Naaah, nothing racist there, move along…(Yeah, I know that’s another thread)
LOL! Rat, you must keep Bob in stitches. Can parrots laugh? Out loud, I mean?
Improbable doesn’t work.
Nothing. I would have e-mailed this actually, but we have not passed this stage of tutoiement. *g*
The larger parrots can simulate laughter. Birds don’t have vocal chords, they make vibrations via some other method.
I don’t think they have what we perceive as a sense of humor, meaning they don’t understand subtleties like irony. Bob likes to play tricks though, such as throwing things on the floor when I’m not looking, waiting until I turn around, then shrieking with joy at my feigned dismay.
Another point (ahem; I’m not expert either but..)My experience is that once you’ve had a couple of kids, unless there are some sort of issues in the middle of labor, labor follows the breaking of the water pretty fast. I knew a woman who with baby number 3 had the kid in the parking lot of the hospital – 45 min. after her water broke. I think there are a LOT of questions about this pregnancy from first to last and they all center on Palin’s attitude toward the pregnancy, giving birth and caring for a child at all, having a child with Downs syndrome, and so on.
Thats one theory on why Sarah won’t produce a birth certificate, Another might be whats on the birth certificate there were rumors Sarah was fooling around my the dad is not who we think?
I am open to other theories what else might we learn from a birth certificate maybe the baby was born on a day Sarah was in Texas giving a speech?
My cousin Mame gave birth to a child with Down’s Syndrome. Neil only lasted 19 years on this earth, but I have never seen a being who exuded such pure, unharnessed love to those around him like he did. When he would see you, he would run as fast as he could, jump up and squeeze you around the neck as hard as he could while laughing the whole time. We felt we were the lucky ones to know him,
How Palin carries that child is a dead giveaway of how she feels about him.
Perhaps the joyful shrieking is parrot laughter?
(disclaimer: I know you’ve told us Bob’s species, but can’t call up the name at the moment. Hope calling him a parrot is not insulting him.)
Yup. This issue was discussed widely here…
There is no way Sarah did all she says with her FIFTH child. At that point they just sorta fall out. She’s lying about something but I can’t figure exactly what or why.
Well, she could have been fooling around with a dozen guys (theory! Not saying so!) but as she was a married woman at the time of birth, state law (in all states I’m aware of) would put her husband’s name as the father anyway. No matter whether she might have thought he wasn’t – husbands of mothers are legal fathers absent any legal action to declare someone else the father (tho’ with DNA testing, this is happening. Not before the birth, though)
Yes. ‘Tis a mystery.
But then, why Sarah Palin does most things is a mystery to the average human being.
Wouldn’t at some point after her water broke would she be feeling contractions? Wouldn’t the stewardesses notice?
You betcha !
There is a cynical part of me that wonders if her religious beliefs would not allow her to terminate the pregnancy but that she secretly hoped the baby would not survive, to the point of engaging in activities that put the child in needless peril.
I will not go so far as to say I think that is likely, a simpler explanation might be stupidity.
Well, here’s a weird theory: Trig is not hers or anyone else’s in her family. She was never pregnant – it was all cooked up to get her votes from anti-abortionists and families with special needs kids. She came back because the doctor who wrote the notorious letter, was able to find a Downs syndrome baby for her. That’s why they won’t supply a birth certificate – because then everyone will know that Trig is not hers – the whole thing was a stunt. How about THAT for a theory?
Bob is a Nanday Conure, one of the smaller species of parrot.
Thanks for the clarification still though I have no idea what Sarah might be hiding.
I thought about that. Wouldn’t put it past her at all. She carried him around like a piece of luggage – seemed completely unaware that he was actually there.
Thank you. I think we’re very lucky to have friends as good as your friend Neil.
Yeah, are there bonding issues?
I’ve wondered if all these hyper-sensitive attacks by Palin against non-existent put-downs/insults/mockery of Trig might just be her defense mechanism against her own lack of motherly affection for this child. Given what we know of Palin, going back to her valuing skills like shooting and field dressing moose, shlumping around in waders in lakes pretending to fish or something apparently self-reliant, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she just can’t accept this baby who may not be able to do those things.
Given also, her obvious lack of compasssion and empathy for anyone not just like herself, I would bet she’s struggling (or not) to love Trig. Look at the pictures of her holding him! Even a first-time Mom has learned how to hold a baby properly in a few months, and Trig is her 5th! Something is very wrong, and it isn’t with the public or the late-night comics she loves to attack.
On edit: Emerson–I had missed your post. My post here is just a long way of saying what you said.
As likely as any theory, and likelier than any story she’s told, that’s for sure.
My understanding is Trig is insured with the Native Alaskans. A socialist program.
You don’t necessarily go into labor when your water breaks. Mine broke about 6PM, called doctor, he gave me permission to eat and then directly to hospital. Never went into natural labor. Every time they turned the inducement drug off, I went out of labor. I’m certainly not a Paylin fan but wanted to add to your knowledge (snicker.) My son was born at 10:00PM the following day.
B
It depends. My sister had to be kept away from everyone but immediate family when she was a baby, and even the family had to be careful. It wasn’t her Down’s per se, but she has a hole in her heart that is common with Down’s. She doesn’t get enough oxygen, is prone to sickness, and at that time was not expected to live past two. But then, doctors now advise people to keep even healthy newborns somewhat isolated until they can build up some immunity.
My sister didn’t like being in unfamiliar surroundings, but it could be personal. I know non-Down’s kids like that as well. She was the only Down’s child I knwe so I can’t tell you if that’s a Down’s thing. She loves being out and about now. She has never seen a stranger because she introduces herself and the entire family to everyone she meets.
I avoided even long car trips when I was as pregnant as Palin was when she went to Texas. There is no way you could have got me up in the air around my due date. To get on a plane when my water had already broken? No way in hell! I was told to go straight to the hospital if my water broke. Usually it starts labor but even when it doesn’t, I was told it was important to check for infection. Either she is lying or she doesn’t much care about her baby’s wellbeing. I think she’s lying because even if you don’t care about the baby, you don’t put yourself at risk of going through childbirth in the cramped, unsanitary conditions of an airplane, for heaven’s sake, with absolutely no access to emergency medical care should anything go wrong and nothing but discomfort even if everything goes swimmingly.
WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE??????????!!!!!!!!!!
“Recently released documents from the custody battle show clearly Tripp Palin Johnston has socialized health care through Indian Health Services and the Alaska Native Medical Center.
Palin’s family has federally funded health care afforded to them…but if you had it Barack Obama might kill you. Put this on the list of Palin’s Greatest Hypocritical Hits…volume 97.”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shannyn-moore/granny-palin-overcomes-he_b_470297.html
Sarah is too selfish to have adopted Trig. She’s just not that into him, even as a prop, and we all know she is hip to the use of any and all props, also. She knew he would be a downs baby, she hoped he would not be (live) born. That is what I guess.
Agree…at least, that is the only way her behavior makes any sense to me.
Sort of the theory Ms. ET maintains. I’m agnostic.
EXACTLY. Ding ding ding! A diarist earlier on Daily Kos posted a theory that the things the Republicans go after Obama for so insanely — like the birth certificate and the illegitimate president memes — are exactly the things they have massive vulnerability/guilt themselves on. Best defense is insane offense. Since the press follows the sock puppet talking points so sockpuppetly, and fair means only that you put an opposing talking head on without ever checking the facts*–it’s a wash. Libs say 2000 and 2004 elections were illegitimate, well cons say 2008 was–it’s a wash. Obama’s birth certificate is funky? Never go after Trig’s. Or if you ever do–it’ll be a wash. If Trig’s wasn’t funky to begin with, I doubt Obama’s ever would have been an issue. Or maybe they want to run Arnold for president.
*I’m sure I read the comment here about this kind of journalism: “Shape of the world? Views differ.”
The thing about Bristol being Trig’s likely mother — this story originally broke on Daily Kos when a brand new diarist posted it as his first diary with plenty of pictures for evidence, showing Bristol looking early pregnant and Sarah looking not at all pregnant. This was right after Sarah was announced as VP candidate. I was one of the Kossacks who went on the google hunt that weekend. In a couple of days that diary came down, so I can’t send you back to look at all the nicely organized photos (several) and embedded news videos. The thing was, the diarist had mistaken the date of the especially suggestive photo of Bristol as being within Trig’s gestation period, but he/she was going from the date the Anchorage Daily News published that photo, but if you kept googling (I did) you could see that another pic from the same photo shoot was published by the ADN in October 2006, well before Trig’s conception. So it couldn’t have been Trig, but that didn’t make Bristol look any less pregnant. So my lingering question has always been, what happened to that baby, assuming that that photo really does show a pregnant 16-year-old Bristol? I left a comment about it at the time on Daily Kos, with links, none of which work right today. Except… if you click through the ADN Sarah Palin gallery, it’s now photo #30: http://www.adn.com/2008/08/29/v-gallery/509850/sarah-palin-biography.html?/2008/08/29/509852_a509987/gov-palin-gallery.html
I respected Obama’s hands-off-the-kids rule, except the validity of the question goes to Sarah not Bristol, since Sarah the candidate advocates for laws that apply to every pregnancy, regardless of age or choice of the mother. Which absolutely freaks me out, and which apparently may apply to her own family in screwy ways. Nothing like living spin. The other truly freaky thing about Sarah and Trig was that she wrote Trig’s birth announcement in the persona of God.

More re Sarah and Trig — http://palingates.blogspot.com/search/label/babygate — someone’s keeping track of every palin-gate there is (babygate only one of many). Photos, videos, documents, analysis, links… tons… (Sarah as Bible Spice? :-)… Interesting, glancing through I don’t see anything about the October 2006 photo of Bristol that caught my eye (@ 92 above), though there are photos of flat-tummy Bristol in June 2007 and round-tummy Bristol in September 2007 and heavy Bristol in October 2007, as well as skinny Sarah on April 8, 2008, and pregnant Sarah on April 13, 2008, also photostat of Sarah’s active schedule page (events redacted) for April 17, 2008, Trig’s birthdate.

Lots to see, fyi
