children can be so mean, thanks mom
Monday, September 8th, 2008Yep another post about the recently chosen Republican VP candidate. What can I say, she’s comedy gold.
**************
I am writing a humorous piece on Sarah Palin for my show (truthfully, I’m barely doing anything: it really just writes itself) and I found out she has a positively peculiar penchant for naming her children unusual, to say the least, names. Her five kids are called:
Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
Okay, the girls’ names aren’t too bad, although it’s kind of funny that two of them have the names of weird TV characters and Bristol is a type of cardboard, but “Track” and “Trig”? What the fuck? What kind of names are those? And you know what’s even worse, she named the son with Down Syndrome “Trig.” As if he’s not going to have enough problems growing up. I can hear it now: “Trig Trig, stupid pig” and “Trig Trig, his brain’s not big.” For chrissakes, don’t people think of these things before dooming a child to years of torment? It’s like naming your baby “Harry Dick.” The poor kid.
And here I thought George Romney was a whackjob for starting it all by calling his son Mitt, who then felt the need to name his son Tagg. Tagg? Isn’t that the thing in the back of your shirt that scratches you a lot until you get all annoyed and rip it out? I bet ten bucks he spent years fighting off “Tagg, Tagg, he’s a fag.”
