Too bad his Dad didn’t “pull out early”.

On the contrary our Pretender-in-Chief will be calling them to ask the first poignant question at his next presser!

This is the press he loves dearly!

The USE of that offensive and ugly word simply PROVES that you are not sincere about any apology.

I totally agree! I think it was just another vile dig toward Trig and ALL developmentally challenged individuals and their families!

You'd be pissing blood for a week.

I'm betting Todd Palin is thinking the same as you!

Disgraceful. They are still attacking the baby. Can Sarah Palin sue anyone when they attack her baby?

the fact that hufpo has someone that writes for them (or contributes to their site) shows that whoever runs that site has very bad judgment - the fact that he could post the article adds to the evidence

this is not this queen's first distasteful writing - i won't describe it, but he writes disgusting stuff about Jesus

there is no excuse for the post - i do not think he posted it without approval - i think hufpo believed they could push the limit just a little more

what scares me more than the post, is that der fuhrer is giving these hatemongers 'press' status

Exactly Where in Governor Palin’s Resignation Speech did she say she was quitting because of jokes?

I guess you missed the part about how upset the children were that the "adults" (she used finger quotes) mocked Baby Trig.

there was no direct apology to the Palin family nor was the author fired

Translation: "If we hadn't been called on it, the article would have stayed."

I think I'm missing the part where that kind of behavior is considered a "joke."

Who cares.

Exactly. This is sort of thing we have come to expect from the HuffPo.

Obama made that special olympics joke on Leno for Sarah.

He is that much of a L0ser.

Just like scrathing his face with his middle finger...

Barry’s Media Brownshirt’s Ping!

Apologizing after-the-fact is pointless, much in the same regards as apologizing for running over someone’s kid then apologizing for it or murdering someone then apologizing later for it, etc., etc. The damage was/is already done....but yeah, a belated apology after-the-fact always makes one more appear more earnest and sincere, right HuffPo? Not.

I apologize for offending you.

And I apologize to everyone else that a random bolt of lightning didn't vaporize you on the spot.

It’s not enough. It sounds sincere, but it’s not enough. At the very least, they should admit it was in very poor taste and apologize directly to the family.

HuffPo needs to acknowledge that there is a big difference between satire and classless oafishness.

And the author tried to make it sound like he took it down because he got emails from people on behalf of retarded people, but that’s BS. HuffPo makes it clear they took it down. The author isn’t just a pig - he’s a filthy lying pig.

One thing they can’t stand is that Sarah didn’t abort Trig.

Neutering would be good, too, and do wonders for the gene pool.
