Two of Palin’s daughters—Piper (7) and Willow (14)—are in tow after having spent the weekend in Orlando where they visited Disney World.

Piper especially seems to be enjoying her newfound celebrity, as she worked the rope line in Orlando on Sunday, waving to the crowd and even signing autographs. Conquering New York City should be a piece of cake for the precocious seven-year-old.

1. What are they doing? I thought the kids were supposed to be off limits?

2. Make it stop

3. What kind of parent lets their 7 year old sign autographs

She should be shielding her kids from the spotlight, not exposing them.

5. The same kind of parents who have kids that are stars

Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Ron Howard.......I could go on

4. But Bristol is still under wraps

Please don't ask her if she's Trig's mom, and her mom's a liar. That's personal.

6. How much school have those kids missed since this circus began?

7. Do I smell the next big Disney hit for tweens? Call it "Homeschool Musical" !

8. The day I really, really came to love Barack

Was the day that little interview with the Obamas and the kids came out, and Barack was so clearly not thrilled with it and said it would not happen again. I am really against using kids for the parent's benefit in the media, always. So although that one was cute as hell, and very beneficial to our nominee's image, it still bugged me. When I saw that it bugged Barack too, that's when I decided he was really a great guy, and he had my heart. He already had my vote, that day he gained my trust. He knew it was good for him, but that was not the point. Was it good for the kids?That was Barack's question. Palin is of course the very picture of everything I detest out of media figure parents in terms of exploitation of their children.

10. Is Willow pregnant yet? n/t

11. Remember that politician's little girl standing on stage crying when Daddy lost?

That's why kids have to be shielded from this sort of thing.

13. That was Santorum, wasn't it?

[Lex]

14. I can't remember. Yeah, maybe.

12. Piper, you mother was just named the VP nominee, what are you planning to do?

"I'm going to Disney World"

[ailsagirl]

16. Oh, brother. Like mother, like daughter

:puke:

[renate]

17. oh, I don't know, I think it's kind of cute

It bugs me when kids are dragged into the limelight against their will--as I assume is the case with Bristol--but if a little girl is having fun signing autographs, I'm not going to get upset about it.

18. Where were Mommy and Daddy?

This made it sound like Piper and Willow visited Disney World on their own.
