Palin gets into it with actress with Down's
As usual, anyone who gets anywhere near Caribou Barbie's family suffers her wrath. But one of her targets zings her right back:
My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Large Medium" episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". 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".When you use kids as a shield, sometimes they get dinged up a little.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.

Don't miss the "Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator" - plug in your name, or that of a loved one, & it will tell you what the name would be if Palin were your mom:

To pick a name at random, "Jack Bogdansky" would have been named "Chap Poach Palin," which goes well with his brother Trig.

So it is true that Palin resigned from being Governor of Alaska to start a new career as Professional Victim.

My name would be "Stockyard Mudslide Palin". No kidding. I feel dirtier already.

Funny she gets so defensive about a kid that isn't even really her's.....

Legally, he's probably hers.

Let's just say Andrea looks a lot smarter and more normal that Sarah.

"I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm"."
No, it's not sarcasm. It's exploitation. Exactly what Palin was condemning. The other side of the 'shield' argument is 'sword.' Either way, the subject is being used. I'm sorry this actress was used in such a despicable manner.

I suspect they didn't legally adopt. Too much trouble dontchaknow, plus it'd be hard to get the state to pony up for the legal expenses. Not that that would stop them.

Jack, the election has ended. Palin isn't even liked by the tea parties in general.
Even Letterman hasn't moved beyond this.
Can the Jackster?
Using your kid to promote your political agenda is time tested tactic by all political parties.
Hey Jack! What about the Randy's Union Pal getting a Hundred Grand plus for not workingfor 13 or 14 years? I thought you'd be all over that. Oh! Allegedly not not working foryears.

Mr Thoward: We expect future elections. Ms Palin continues to be a national figure and potential candidate, and as such the provocation for observations that subject her to satire, ridicule and derision. All deservedly.

Kicking dead horses has become a cottage industry.

Palin has a way of bringing dead horses back to life like no one else can. She's fair game.

She can't be a "dead horse" until she shuts up and goes away.
