The life of Sarah Palin, the former beauty queen who found a niche in the wild and woolly world of Alaska politics, has undoubtedly been transformed by her brief stint as a Vice Presidential candidate, fielding such good fortune as 20-percent raises and shining-star accolades from the GOP. And now, this streak of good fortune is extending to her grandchildren.

According to Australia's Strollerbaby, the offspring of Bristol Palin (pictured) and hockey stud Levi Johnston has already received a number gifts from well-wishers around the world. In fact, Sarah Palin's father, Chuck Heath, says that the presents have literally been piling up.

To the tune of one hundred thousand. You read that right.

The question is, how will this little soon-to-be scrapper, who also shares a family tree with accused drug dealer Sherry Johnston (Levi's mom), possibly play with, wear, or nibble on all the treats that have arrived to welcome his birth? In an interview with Grandparents.com, Mr. Heath remarked,

"[There's] all kinds of gifts laying around the place - all kinds of baby stuff. I'm in a room right now just full of baby stuff - more than she'll ever use."

As much as I can appreciate the thrill of standing in a room filled with "baby stuff," I think Toys for Tots would be the decent, real American route at this juncture.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
