And she doesn't strap him into a car seat. Yes, she took her baby to the state prison.
One Friday in June, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the chief of the state prison system on a tour of the Point MacKenzie Correctional Farm, a 90-minute drive north of Anchorage. It was a routine visit but for the presence of the governor's infant son, Trig.
Palin held her baby in her arms as the warden drove a short distance around the facility, said corrections director Joe Schmidt, who sat next to Palin. A few days later, the governor got a warning from her public safety commissioner that someone had complained that she did not strap Trig into a car seat for the ride.
Palin dismissed the complaint as petty, and the commissioner, whom she appointed, took no formal action.
The car seat is one thing, but taking him on a tour of a prison is another. Couldn't she have left him at home with Bristol. She was at home with mono. Or done what every other working mother does, and hired a babysitter. Most moms don't get to take their newborns to work.
And you know it was one of the prisoners who turned her in for not having him in a car seat. They are expected to follow the law, so why shouldn't she.
