As it should be, imho.

What I especially took exception to with the Palin pic is that she personally took the pic and accompanied it with the message to use whatever or whoever you have to to get to where you want to be. That's how I interpreted it because stepping over and on people (and other creatures and the planet) is The American Way and conservatives are proud of that.

Here are her precise words that accompanied the pic of Trig and their dog:

"May 2015 see every stumbling block turned into a stepping stone on the path forward. Trig just reminded me. He, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his signs for "up!", found me and a lazy dog blocking his way. He made his stepping stone," she wrote.

I stand corrected about the relationship, and have edited the title FrodosPet Jan 2015 #3

And she was roundly criticized for it - Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #20

Exactly my point! FrodosPet Jan 2015 #7

Wouldn't that depend on the animal? hootinholler Jan 2015 #11

But Ellen had nothing to do with letting that particular child Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #22

Yes Palin is the pet owner and the parent and arthritisR_US Jan 2015 #41

So Ellen posted it despite knowing its not behavior to be encouraged? onenote Jan 2015 #49

I was responding directly to the comment, Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #56

IMO, not a non story. One day the dog will arthritisR_US Jan 2015 #42

If the dog was bothered by being used as a stool... abakan Jan 2015 #44

You do know it is a "service dog" right? Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #53

It is actually almost certainly NOT a service dog. Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #61

just for clarity... abakan Jan 2015 #72

The service dog was a reference to Palin's dog - Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #73

Good point. nt cwydro Jan 2015 #19

In any case, it was worth it to hear Palin's incoherent retort. Nitram Jan 2015 #14

It's not Ellen's kid and she's not necessarily approving treestar Jan 2015 #16

Because when a good person does something we consider not good, Cerridwen Jan 2015 #21

The negative comments about thinking it was cute Ms. Toad Jan 2015 #24

It's nice to see we both recognize false equivalency. Cerridwen Jan 2015 #26

Yay! Let's lie to protect Palin!!! jeff47 Jan 2015 #28

I don't think he's trying to protect Palin. Rather, an attempt to attack Ellen. Scootaloo Jan 2015 #32
