“More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—“a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy”—and thought it fit her perfectly. 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.”

Your blog is socially unacceptable. We are all at the mercy of genetics. Having handicapped children strenghtens many people. Some people choose abortion. They think that if a child is not perfect in every way they have a right to kill it.
Sarah Palin is NOT the problem here…YOU and people like you are the ones who have JACKASS mentality.
