Palin Hits Obama on 'Special Olympics' Joke

wrote:
Gov. Sarah Palin responded to remarks made last night by President
Obama related to the Special Olympics on “The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno":

“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about
Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark
about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the
most powerful position in the world.

“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity
than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform
many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s
comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs
community.”

Well, after the way his allies went after her, he really couldn't
count on a full-throated defense of a boneheaded comment. Obama used
the whole "it's just a joke" excuse with his "lipstick on a pig"
comment, too.

Be nice to see if she's revised her comments on family values.
