I am not one to normally point out when a politician is correct. Fortunately for me, it doesn’t happen very often so I don’t have to. In the case of Sarah Palin and her complaints against The Family Guy cartoon, I, gulp, have to agree with her.
Don’t get me wrong, although I think Sarah’s overall knowledge and sense of reality are just short of being frozen herself; I think she has a legitimate complaint in this case.
If you missed it, and I think most of us did, The Family Guy featured an episode of the Griffin family’s son bringing home a girlfriend with Down’s syndrome. When quizzed by his parents about her family, she said that her mother used to be Alaskan governor.
Although I am guessing Palin’s issue is with the Down’s syndrome part (and not the daughter of an Alaskan governor) in either case, the show stepped over the line.
Palin herself is a fair target for late night parody (and there is sooo much to choose from) but leave the children out of the picture…special needs or not.
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
