The age-old Washington story: pot calls kettle black.
Indeed, it was a terrible gaffe, and I really can’t imagine being so insensitive as to have that come out of his mouth on (inter)national TV if it isn’t simply the kind of thing he says regularly enough that it just comes out of his mouth at any similar occasion without him even thinking about it. But for Sarah Palin to be publicly complaining is at the very least disingenuous.[Sarah] Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate and the mother of a young son with Down syndrome, said she was "shocked" by the "degrading remark about our world's most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world".She added that she hoped the president's comment did not reflect his true feelings about the special needs community.
May I add that I hope her actions do not reflect her true feelings about the special needs community.Gov. Sarah Palin is refusing to accept over 30 percent of the federal economic stimulus money being offered to Alaska, including dollars for schools, energy assistance and social services.[...]
Palin said she is accepting the federal stimulus money that would go for construction projects, but not funding directed at government operations.
[...]
The biggest single chunk of money that Palin is turning down is about $170 million for education, including money that would go for programs to help economically disadvantaged and special needs students.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
