Family Guy vs Sarah Palin

Suprised no one has gotten into this one. Just watched the clip from Family Guy and I fail to see how they "made fun" of Downs Syndrome. SP will do anything to keep her stupid name in the news!

sorry, thought it was funny-as usual. she's probably mad because the girl in the show says her father is an accountant, and her mother is the former governor of alaska.

palin has to jump on stupid little things like this to try to make points. because when it comes to real worries, she's in over her head.

how anyone could actually believe she has the mental intelligence to be president of this country is beyond me. i believe she has reached a level beyond stupid. there are dogs that are smarter than her.

i'm starting to think the dems are the ones funding her nonsense just for a cruel joke on the reps.

Counter-insurgency? Brilliant!

After watching her on Bill O'Reilly complaining about this, and even O'Reilly giving up on her being able to think and speak, Roger Ailes wants his money back.

sorry i missed that....

honestly, it reminds me of when gov patterson complained when snl had a skit involving him-and he demanded an apology. so, they did another skit the following week! no apology as yet, and palin is barking up the wrong tree if she thinks seth mcfarlane will do differently.

she still gets a solid 1/3 of the vote in any nationwide election.

she plays to her base. they don't care about cribbing notes or transparently thin skin. that's all pointy headed intellectual stuff.

she's a sexier spiro agnew. or george wallace without the overt racism and penis.

it's the politics of resentment.

Before Dellinger and the rest of the crew find this, I think the best thing for Dems is for Palin to stay semi-coherent and the loony tee baggers gain ground and just splinter the hell out of the right. Ralph Nader messed up the Gore Presidency so I'm glad the neo-cons are getting a dose of a split party.

Yep..it would be Karma and it sure looks like thats the way its heading.

i don't even think she's reached semi-coherency. i went to foxnews and found the video of her with bill o'reilly. and once again, she made no sense. apparently, when rahm emanuel said effing retards it was wrong. when mcfarlane had a fictional character say her mother used to be gov of alaska, that was wrong. but rush using the term '******' or something to that affect was ok to her, as it was satire. gimme a break. apparently, it's only ok to make that comment if you're a conservative. anyone else is attacking her child.

I think she is a very strong candidate and if I were a Republican, would strongly consider voting for her for President.

Speaking of satire, there is a very nice Comedy Central video of Stephen Colbert announcing, straight into the camera, that as long as Sarah says it's okay to say that stuff if it's satire (referring to Rush Limbaugh), he just wants to say, as host of the completely satiric "Colbert Report", that "Sarah Palin is a .... ******"

But this is even more fun - here is the actress who played the Down character on Family Guy discussing Sarah Palin. The actress herself has Down Syndrome.

Quote:

Andrea Fay Friedman, the voice actress who played the role of "Ellen" --the character depicted as having Down syndrome on the Valentine's Day episode of Family Guy, has responded to the criticism of sometime-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Of special significance, Friedman herself has Down syndrome. Palingates has Friedman's complete response:

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".

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.

Ouch!

No Facebook scrambles from Palin over this one yet ....
