Sarah Palin shares her love of breastfeeding. Just not with Trig.

Here is a remark found in an e-mail dated March 11, 2008, from Debi Ballam, a nurse at Bartlett Regional Hospital:

Dear Govenor Palin,

Last year at the Juneau Health Fair , some nurses from Bartlett Beginnings at Bartlett Regional Hospital had a breastfeeding promotion table . We asked participants to share their thoughts about breastfeeding . You wrote , "I learned with 4 kids, the longer length of breastfeeding , the better . First baby 3 mon , Second baby 6 mon, 3rd baby 18 months, 4th baby 3 years."

We are making a PowerPoint slide show of many of comments , and want to include yours. We would like to quote you . i.e. add your name to your quote. Can we do that ? Many other quotes were wonderful too, but of course coming from the govenor , yours would be very powerful , and a great role model . Please consider letting as add your name to the PowerPoint slide.

Okay maybe I am not very up to date on what is considered the appropriate time to breast feed a child these days, but isn't three years a little long?  No wonder Piper never leaves her side, bonding is one thing but come on!

And if Palin really felt that breastfeeding for three years was appropriate then how do we explain this.

I know what you are going to say, "But Gryphen they COULD be feeding Trig breast milk that Palin used a breast pump to express herself!"

Really?  Does THIS look like a woman who was at that time breastfeeding a five month old infant?

What is that you are saying now? "But Gryphen there are other pictures of her taken on the campaign trail where her breasts look much fuller."

You are right, there are indeed.  But we already know that Palin has the ability to make her smaller breasts appear large any time she chooses.

But what is almost impossible to do is to make breasts that are in the process of breastfeeding a baby appear smaller. Even Harry Houdini would have trouble pulling off THAT trick.

So clearly Sarah Palin was NOT breastfeeding little Trig during his infancy.

But why not?

Did she not care about him as much as she did her other children?

Was she just too busy as a VP candidate to take the time?

Or is it that she simply did NOT have any milk to provide, since she had not recently given birth?

Ladies, I await your input.
