    MimiTurner, did you actually look?

    I'm all for mothers having careers, but Sarah Palin looks as disinterested in her children as if they were somebody else's. I haven't seen a hug, hand-hold, really any acknowledgment of her children. Unless I've missed it, I haven't seen her hold her baby, who at five months would typically be pretty attached to her. Seems strange to me with all the emphasis on her being a mother of five that she pretty much ignores them.

    -- MimiTurner

    She was in an interview on Saturday with the baby slung right in front of her, she's had the same child with her during State business.

    She's had her youngest child with her numerous times since her VP announcement on Friday.

    How many times have you seen her at all? If it's once, well what do you expect?
