A week after a high-profile uproar with comedian David Letterman over the late-night host's joke about her daughter, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is again sharply responding to the appearance of her children in the public sphere.

Palin's latest response comes after liberal Alaskan Blogger Linda Kellen Biegel doctored a photograph of the former Republican gPresidential candidate with her 1-year-old son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome.

Biegel, who blogs in support of the Alaska Democratic Party under the name "Celtic Diva," superimposed a picture of conservative Alaskan radio host Eddie Burke over Trig's face in an apparent effort to show how close the radio host is with the Alaskan governor.

"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."

Stapelton also suggested President Obama should speak out against such behavior from liberal activists.

"Babies and children are off limits," She said. "It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."

Responding on her blog to the uproar, Biegel said in no uncertain terms the doctored picture was intended to make fun of Burke, not Trigg Palin.

"It's called 'Baby Burke' because it's Eddie Burke…basically his probable second-biggest fantasy about the Governor," she wrote. "So, connecting the dots for you…WE'RE MAKING FUN OF EDDIE BURKE!!!!!!"

Earlier this month Biegel filed an ethics complaint against Palin for wearing a jacket made by a company that sponsored her husband — a snow mobile racer — to a public event. An investigator ruled Palin had not acted wrongly and the Alaska governor accused Biegel "asinine political grandstanding."

This is typical for Lanys.

First Dolalin, then Xantheus, and now CelticDiva making national news.

I'm probably forgetting somebody.

Yeah, I remembered Leo after I posted that.

And I'm sure somehow, some way, Tarot has been in the national news. Several times.

Call it a gut feeling.

I used to be in the Arkansas news all the time, but that was before I got on here.

After these guys took over and every blog from Wonkette to DKos was running the pictures, the Palin blogs suddenly ceased talking about this issue. Another idiot defeated once again by the Internets!

yah yah yah I'll believe it when I see it. 2 weeks ago Aidan started developing wrinkles on his brain, so I think he may be behind on those omega 3s

No. Not cute. Disgusting.

Here's the kid I was thinking of, it was speculated that perhaps he had that genetic muscle thing...but I guess now they're saying his dad secretly was giving him steroids. So fucked up.
