So the economy's in the crapper, and parents are cutting back on
everything from Santa to travel. So why are gifts pouring into the
Palin household?
The former (so happy to say that) vice
presidential candidate's father, Chuck Heath, told Grandparents.com
that gifts for granddaughter Bristol Palin's soon-to-be born baby boy
have been piling up from around the world. Really, this is what people
are spending their money on?
In case none of you remember, the Palin family isn't exactly
hurting. Mom just got offered a raise by one of the commissions she
helped appoint (OK, OK, she turned it down - but who is actually
getting offers for EXTRA money in their paycheck this year?). Then
there are all those RNC shopping spree clothes (including that Ramones
tee for a tot).
Bristol Palin does not need our charity. But at last count, Chuck
Heath says there are one hundred thousand gifts waiting for baby boy
Johnston. Yes, you read that right - one hundred thousand.
He admits she'll probably never use them all (ya think?), but
I've yet to hear any offers to give these things away to a pregnancy
center or maybe make some Christmases brighter around Alaska.
We get it, some people actually liked Sarah Palin. If you really
want to pay tribute to her, how about donating some gifts in her name
to someone who could actually use them?
Ooh, I know, how about one of those centers for pregnant teens she cut funding from? Just a suggestion.
