Default Palin Hits Obama on 'Special Olympics' Joke

Here's a republican doing it

Gray, R-Phoenix, bristled when she got an e-mail last week from a
ninth-grader at Sunnyslope High School.

The student wanted to know why lawmakers cut the education budget, and
questioned why "you don't cut any money from your budget?"

The e-mail was an unbroken string of sentences with no punctuation.

Gray noted this in her pointed response: "I have grave concerns on
your ability to pass the AIMS language test," she wrote.

"Why didn't you take to (sic) time to write an e-mail with the proper
punctuation? By your poorly written e-mail, your example tells me that
all the money we have spent on your education shows a lack of learning
on your part."

The e-mail ended up circulating among the student's friends and
teachers at Sunnyslope, a local TV station and on the liberal Daily
Kos blog.

Gray was even more mortified when she heard the student has special
needs, something she learned when the girl's physical-education
teacher sent the senator an e-mail.


Everybody steps in it, on occasion. LBJ picked a dog up by its ears.
Yikes!
