4. She doesn't seem any brattier than any other kid her age. Why
comment negatively on a kid, nobody gets to pick their parents and she has no control over what she is exposed to.

10. yes, nobody picks their parents
but some absolutely play on them


this little girl was cute during the RNC when she licked her brother's hair down



now she is a little brat just like Willow and Bristol.

and don't bother lecturing me about "the kids" I hate all the grifters alike!

16. i certainly am not going to blame palin's kids for their parents. i feel bad for them.
i am betting they get raised by nannies and don't get much attention. i'd hate growing up like that. poor kids. they are reacting to their situation, whatever that is. if they were promised (probably again) something and then let down.... they are probably understandably hurt and confused and if they act bratty, it most likely has to do with lack of boundaries and getting attention from their parents beyond that which you see in front of the cameras. who knows, maybe when they aren't in front of the cameras they are great with their kids and the kids know that these are the times it really sucks and they react like this because they know it. but either way, i wouldn't want to be them no matter how much money they have. uh uh. and i won't make fun of them either. my guess is they don't have it as great as it may seem from another perspective.

3. I actually think Piper is cute. She acts like any other bored kid
would if forced onto the campaign trail.

12. If so, it wouldn't be any ordinary theme park visit.



The halfwit half-gov and her entire entourage would get the full red carpet
treatment the whole time they were there. Front of the lines, free souvenirs,
special meals, no waiting for anything.

Anyone else who has been there can tell you most of your time there is spent
walking and waiting in lines.

8. CNN doing hit jobs on 10 year olds
That should boost the ratings.

11. It's done here also. It isn't just CNN. The whole family is fair game
when a parent is unpopular is what I've learned here.

22. When you make your whole family a traveling TV show
bad things happen. It sucks for the kids because they have no say on if they want to be part of it or not, or more to the point they are too young to know they don't have to a part of it. Even worse is the post child star success rate ain't all that great. Turning your life into a giant reality TV show can be great $$ for parents. With the first generation of tweener stars now in young adult hood and the first generation of young reality stars hitting their teens I guess we will find out if times have changed. My guess is todays child stars won't do better than previous generations.

9. I'm gonna cut Piper some slack here...
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 09:52 AM by Contrary1
Of all the Palin kids, this one has been dragged around the country the most.

As far as the "body blocking" of the reporter, who's to say her dingbat mother didn't order her to act that way? I'm sure she has been exposed to more than enough yapping from Sarah about the evil liberal media.

This little girl has been described as a diva in the making. I think what we are witnessing instead is a child hungry for the right kind of attention from Mom.

15. Dogs and kids...
You can't blame them for their behavior... Owners and parents are to blame. That said... I was a hll of a lot more pushy at age ten... Oldest of four siblings and oldest of 10 grandchildren... I have always been Queen Bee:p

20. Sadly, one day she will realize her mom is a piece of shit.

I pity poor Piper.
Hopefully, she can avoid the same fate.
