Mrs. Palin, you want me to sit here and explain how the Family Guy works?

    McFarlane was very fair to Down's Syndrome, not treating it with kid gloves. Every subset of human beings (men, women, black, white, tall, short, mentally ill, physically handicapped, etc., etc., etc) has its share of assholes. I think he was just pointing that out. The Palin dig was not consistent with what I thought was a very thought-provoking line of satire.

    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...

    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.

    Hey, it worked out for both. McFarlane got his rip, and Sarah the Attention Whore got another excuse to crank up her phony baloney media machine. You know, the one that lets her make fun of social networking on one hand while using it to the hilt on the other.

    The same guy signs Palin's and MacFarlane's paychecks.
    Think about it.
