Palin Emails: Trig Baby Shower Gifts Donated to Military Families
March 2008. Talking about throwing baby showers and donating the gifts to young Army wives and possibly a crisis pregnancy center. And, um, no. No radio microphone in the delivery room. LOL -
Palin:
[Bob] Wants KWHL to throw me a baby shower. I say “yes” , if the gifts can go to these young Army wives who don’t have much, they’re far from their families, the dads aren’t there for the newborns first months , etc. And now Ft. Wainwright ‘s aviation unit was notified of a four month extension on deployments. Would u assign someone to work with Bob on that angle? Thanks
Kris Perry:
Yes, I’ll give him a call initially and then have someone work with him on details. Love the idea about the young army wives.
Sharon Leighow:
Governor- I have been asked about a baby shower in Juneau. I have already received offers to host it. Please let me know if you would be interested in a similair event. I too think the idea of helping young Army wives is fantastic.
Palin:
I would be interested in such a thing in Juneau – perhaps a different group of recipients for this area? Maybe to benefit the local Crisis Pregnancy Center?
Kris Perry:
I spoke w/Bob. He agrees on the donation and thinks it’s great. He brought up the possibility of doing it after the baby is born so the baby would be present as well. He’s envisioning ALOT of people, i.e. Egan Center and I’m not too sure about that idea. We’ll work out details once timeframe is determined.
He also asked again about the live audio recording of the birth and what you thought. A private moment?
Palin:
Don’t want to take this too far. Kinda wish I hadnt had to tell anyone, but crazy to think it could have been hidden long. No- no Egan, and I’m not going to assume this will be as smooth and easy as the other kids’ births, so can’t imagine inviting in a rock radio microphone.

Press release for the baby shower. Some edits by the Gov at the link. This is the final version:
TweetAugust 15, 2008, Juneau, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today announced she will attend a baby shower in Trig Palin’s honor next week and that all gifts will be donated to help military families.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Family Ties Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organization created to provide immediate support for the military families of wounded service members deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. The event is being hosted by local morning radio personalities Bob and Mark from 106.5 KWHL.
“My family has been so blessed by the arrival of Trig. It is my honor to share that blessing with our men and women in uniform through this event ,” Governor Palin said. “I invite all Alaskans who’d like to support our wonderful military families to participate.”
The event will take place at Romano’s restaurant, on Fireweed Lane at C Street, on Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited. Romano’s restaurant will donate a portion of the sales from the evening to the Family Ties Foundation.

This revelation doesn’t make me dislike Palin less. Between her quitting as governor, and her ridiculous snipes at Michelle Obama for not wanting Americans to be fat slobs, and her general thin-skinned nature.
What it does is make clear how ridiculous the media is being over petty garbage. Their relationship with Palin is like a drug-addled girlfriend. No matter how much she slaps them around, they keep coming back even though she has nothing to offer them but a quick fix and more abuse.
And nothing solidifies the media’s obsession with crap than cutting away from Nancy Pelosi having a press conference about jobs (remember them? Those are the things we’re supposed to forget about while the media tells us about gay marriage and tax cuts) to cover Weiner’s resignation. As though he was going to say anything new besides ‘I resign’.
thelonegummin proves that no matter what she does, Palin will never stop being despised by the left, who revel in repeating the same lame, tired accusations against her while willfully ignoring the flood of lies and hatespeech gushing forth from their own guys. They’re so emotionally invested in their hatred—having devoted so much time and effort to it— that they simply can’t give it up even when baldly faced with facts that run contrary to their wishes. It’s like a watching a documentary on the Nazi’s and seeing people who are on record voting for Hitler, being a member of the SS, and having their Jewish neighbors jailed. How sad.

[...] Former Gov. Palin was just so-o-o-o evil! Re the Paul Revere comment, maybe she got her history about Paul Revere (directly or indirectly) [...]
THIN-SKINNED? In what universe are you living?? The woman has been vilified by the press, the leftist politicians, the entertainment industry and even some in the GOP and her popularity keeps growing as she shrugs off all the insults and attacks on her, her family members and even her pets! Good Lord! The woman is as thick-skinned as an elephant!

Um, Palin thinks individuals should be in charge of how fat/skinny they are … not the GOVERNMENT.
Do you realize that you’re commenting on a pro-Palin blog? And that makes you just like the junkie media you deride? Did you get your Palin fix today?

Hey! TheloneGunman-You hate the military too and have no compassion for mothers struggling with a new born while their spouse is in a war zone protecting your sorry ass, so that you can blab your inanities anonymously from your basement or closet-whichever? You obviously have been sexually abused while a child and harbor these hatreds for those who are successful and lead decent lives. That excuse has been overused before. Get over it! With a pseudonym like that, I think you bear watching.
[...] She has been called words that I cannot bear to utter (for fear my mother may read this) by various actors, entertainers and those in the left wing media. Her detractors have reported that she may possibly have been untruthful about giving birth to her own special needs child. Her critics have accused her of having blood on her hands by a random act of violence by a deranged murderer. Her personal e-mail has been hacked. She has been bombarded with frivolous ethics complaints which ultimately led to her resignation as Governor of Alaska. And most recently the “Lamestream Media” finally got what they have been waiting for: her personal e-mails for the entire world to see (example below). [...]
