"My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes."
That's actress Andrea Fay Friedman responding to failed governor Sarah Palin's teeth-gnashing lashing out at a Down syndrome character Friedman played in Family Guy. Friedman has Down syndrome.
Folks with Down Syndrome are disabled, not stupid.
Ms. Friedman may not be a rocket scientist but compared to Sarah Palin, she's Stephen Freaking Hawking. Good on her!
My buddy Herb, who's been working for the same company for 20 years, watched the news every day and would come in with questions for me. It was a challenge trying to explain the stupid to him when he saw the world through eyes that couldn't perceive stupid.
Herb may be disabled, but he's a helluva lot more on the ball than these Repug fools.
Shout out to Herb: Hey Herb! (he'll want to come by and see his name in the comments here!)

Palin is just plain dishonest. That's all. Will use any fake "controversy", be "hurt" by any damned thing, force everyone to say "used the R-word" and let Limbaugh and other freaks use it whenever they want.
It's a game. It isn't even particularly well played by her. She is just plain stupid, and has nothing else to use except here little "quips", and her palmed notes (Like "lift americas spirit"...as she couldn't remember to use the phrase?), and her fake "soccer mom" character.
She was "tricked" by an interviewer asking specififically what she read...
She makes no sense, talks in circles, and is totally self-contradicting, and obtuse.
I wish she would just go away.
