1. No comment.

[jefferson_dem]

4. The image + Piper's statement speaks for itself.

Very sad. And no...I don't blame the ten-year old.

[GoCubsGo]

59. An impudent little bugger, ain't she?

Takes after her mother.

[customerserviceguy]

2. They've taught that child a culture of false victimhood

Why would this response be surprising?

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Thank your mom for trying to ruin our country.

See what she says about that.

[Cleita]

9. +1000

However, I wouldn't say it to a ten year old, but address it to mommie dearest.

[HipChick]

5. Palin lied to her too, and told her it was a vacation...

Not a pre-campaign Publicity tour..

[TransitJohn]

6. Sucks your mom lied to you and said it was a vaction, kid.

No sympathy here.

[KittyWampus]

7. your mother lied to you. It's not a vacation. It's a sting to make money.

[TwilightGardener]

8. You're not ON a vacation, sweetheart, no matter what the Grifters told you.

[AtomicKitten]

10. Piper doesn't understand the meaning of "media whore" yet.

She is sporting quit a 'tude there though.

[JoePhilly]

44. The word she's learning on this trip shoul be .... PROP.

Because sadly, that's how mommy is using her.

[msanthrope]

11. Poor kid. Palin probably told her it would be a 'vacation.' Palin shouldn't

subject her children to this, but they are just props to her, it seems.

[Raschel]

19. The kid just tags along. Sarah doesn't even notice her.

[styersc]

12. I'm almost on the other side of 45 years old, and I can assure you

that the country was a better place when a 10 yeatr old would be scolded for being rude to an adult.

But, back then, a family vacation wasn't carried out on a painted bus filled with family and staff, and photo ops weren't the purpose....

[calimary]

34. I remember those days. My parents taught me not to be rude to adults.

Man, that Piper looks like she's gonna be a monster. Wonder if she still has that big Louis Vuitton bag she was seen carrying around during mommy dearest's last national campaign? Pretty heady stuff for what was then a seven-year-old kid from the wilderness.

[jillan]

13. It must really suck to be Sarah's child. This probably is Piper's summer vacation - and she's

probably wishing she stayed home.

[onehandle]

14. Generations and generations and generations of...

...useless grifters.

Thank you, Senator McCain.

[liberal N proud]

15. She can't even tell the truth to her kids

:banghead:

[HipChick]

18. she never told her own kids she was pregnant...

why would this be any different?

[Raschel]

16. Oh, this is just terrible. Can you imagine any other politician doing this to their child?

I can't think of one. Why isn't anyone on TV calling her out on this?

The media should have scorned her a long time ago. She is a joke.

[C_U_L8R]

17. Poor kid doesn't realize she's a prop

She'll figure it out one day and
probably resent her mother for it.

Palin really is a toxic narcissist
and should be ashamed

[saras]

21. I hope so, but she's pretty dense for her age at this point

[LiberalFighter]

47. She either has to be dense or she knows exactly what she is doing.

I'm voting for the latter as I'm sure the apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree.

22. Well, if they wanted to get Palin on mis-use of PAC

funds, couldn't that be used as evidence? After all Sarah MUST HAVE told little Piper this was a VACATION and not a working tour.

[Denzil_DC]

24. Very good point! n/t

[Avalux]

23. It IS a vacation. Sarah's probably joked about vacationing across the country

while her supporters pump $$ into her PAC. She's a grifter....getting paid to take a vacation and free publicity.

[dbflah]

25. Sweet Sarah rubs off........

Strip the whole damn family of their organs and throw the rest away! All dog dirt.

[JBoy]

26. Wanna ride a painted bus? Learn to play the tambourine.

[boppers]

32. Just take a trip....

[postulater]

33. Love the AAA sticker in the window.

[FailureToCommunicate]

48. Further!

Last saw that bus (or one like it) at Woodstock...

[Raine1967]

27. From the mouth of babes....

we get the truth.

It's a vacation, it isn't a running for potus tour.

[struggle4progress]

28. I feel for the kid. Frankly, I don't think it's an abnormal reaction from a ten year old:

she's getting dragged around, from press event to press event, and it can't be any fun.

[global1]

29. Really - You Posted This In The "Presidency" Discussion Group?........nt

[Sheepshank]

30. lashing out where she is 'allowed'

perfectly normal response by a frustrated 10 year ol. One day she'll see this pic and realize where her anger was truly directed.

[Blue-Jay]

31. At least nobody asked which Twilight books she reads.

[gordianot]

35. I feel for this child, she is fortunate to be safe in her Mother's haste braving a tornado....

just to make a political oneupmanship on Mitt Romney. She is lucky to be alive.

[Mz Pip]

36. Her Mom is having the time of her life, though.

Mommie dearest is in her element and would have been miffed if TIME didn't show up.

Next time leave the poor kid with a sitter.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

37. Il remember this Piper

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn-OctEgKvE&NR=1

[CakeGrrl]

38. Oops. Kid spilled the beans on the grift.

I'm not so sure how "Poor Piper" she is. She was the one carrying the designer bag during the '08 campaign.

She may or may not follow in her sister Willow's footsteps if Mama Grizzly is shaping her kids as their role model:

[LibGranny]

50. I recall seeing a photo of this child flipping someone off during the

campaign! I don't think all kids are "cute" just because they're children. This kid acts like her big sis Willow!

[tammywammy]

54. That was a photoshop

http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/piper.asp

[abq e streeter]

39. Nothing but sympathy from me for this poor kid

Imagine having Sarah Palin for a mother. She must be miserable right now.

[Ya Tzarone]

40. Loving parents don't give their children fucked-up names.

If, God forbid, Sarah has another child, will she name it Cessna?

[tanyev]

45. Emissions.

[Politicalboi]

60. LOL!

I like it.

[leftynyc]

41. Even at 10 years old

you would think she would realize traveling on a bus plastered with your mother's name is not the way to get anonymity. I feel sorry for the kid.

[avebury]

42. Another monster in the making

[no_hypocrisy]

43. "Vacation" like the Partridge Family was "on vacation"?

[tanyev]

46. Proof that Our Lady of Perpetual Victimhood has taught her kids at least one thing.

[FailureToCommunicate]

49. Sarah making everyone sing chirpy patriotic songs finally got to her!

(My life sucks but I'll blame the Media, just like mom does)

[olegramps]

51. And all she got was a lousy T for being a prop.

[rbixby]

52. It its a vacation

why all the attention whoring with the specially painted bus? It seems to me like they'd go for being a little more incognito if it were a real vacation.

[efhmc]

53. You should thank your media addicted mom.

[craigmatic]

55. They clearly coached her to say that or she has no idea that her mother is a publicity hound.

[lunatica]

56. No child could come out normal in that family

In every photograph that I've seen Piper in during this trip she seems to be perfectly comfortable with the mob around her mother. This is a normal day to Piper. And Sarah Palin doesn't do a thing to protect her daughter in those mobs.

[Jakes Progress]

57. And a big thank you to your mom for keeping the repubs out of the white house.

[tanyev]

58. Remember when Sarah told her family the 2008 trip to Ohio was for an anniversary trip?

Surprise! You're going to be onstage at the GOP convention! And you won't be going home again until November!

I bet poor Piper was told this was going to be a fun family vacation.

[Politicalboi]

61. Does mommie dearest have a

Back hump? Or is she wearing bullet proof vest? Or did she sleep in those clothes. LOL!

[JAnthony]

62. Just thinking of the negative press the Obama's would get if one of

their daughters said something THAT arrogant and impolite to a photographer EVER!

Fox news would be all over the Obama family for raising an IMPUDENT, MANNERLESS child !!!!
