I’m sure everybody’s heard about the big “Family Guy” kerfuffle, where a girl with Down Syndrome said “…my mother is the former Governor of Alaska.” Now, of course, poor, poor Sarah Palin is all inflamed with faux indignation at this horrible swipe at her. Interestingly enough, guess what? The actress who played the character (Andrea Fay Friedman) has Down Syndrome herself. She also seems to have a sense of humor.

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm”.

In my family we think laughing is good. 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.

Ooh, snap. “French” bread, no less. Nice touch. :rofl2:

Besides, it’s satire. And satire’s supposed to be OK, isn’t it, Sarah? Or is that only for Rush? Lighten up, Sarah, and send Seth Macfarlane a copy of your book.

Speaking of cartoon characters, Jessica Simpson says she’ll never do nudity. :yawn:

Oh no! Where will they ever find another dumb big-boobed bottle blond broad willing to take her clothes off? Oh, I think Carrie Prejean is available.

By the way, if you haven’t heard already, Sam Seder will be doing the Young Turds again today at Noon EST.

Sam says

I’ll be talking about the Obama administration’s push to get credit for the stimulus, what a jerk Evan Bayh is and has always been and how utterly insane the GOP has become. I’ll also be talking to one of my favorite bloggers- Digby

Oh well, it’s Friday, so let’s get this party started.
