While I am not a big Palin fan, the Huffington Post, has posted this fine piece of journalism.

Palin Will Run In '12 On More Retardation Platform

In Sarah Palin's resignation announcement she complained about the treatment of her son Trig who always teaches her life lessons. She said that the "world needs more Trigs, not fewer." That's a presidential campaign promise we can all get behind. She will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people. To me, it's kinda like saying the world needs more cancer patients because they teach us such personal lessons.

Her first act as President: To introduce a Pre-K lunch buffet that includes lead paint chips. Sort of a Large HEAD-START Program.

She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40's just to mix up some chromosomes.

She now is in favor of abortion only in case of diploid birth.

Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter.

This will lead to smaller government because fewer Americans will have the cognitive ability to hold a government job.

Look, she says she's resigning as governor because people are making attacks on her and Trig. If she ever did become president, all Osama bin Laden would have to do to defeat the United States is Photoshop a picture of Trig and she'd surrender the country that night. As she said, "That's not politics as usual." It isn't. Politicians don't usually quit for so stupid of reasons.

Wow, fail
And I'm not a Palin fan.

That article was inexcusable and repulsive.

To attribute it to anything to do with an "Obama machine" is pretty much inexcusable and stupid.

Still, the article itself was repulsive.

[Bang]

You can't expect the other side to do better if this is the kind of junk you'll allow.

Inexcusable.

that article has "douchebag" written all over it. terrible.

[DCranon21]

They took it down, and what you captured this guy is a total douchebag for writing that article. I read HP, and they lost on this article.

"Politicians don't usually quit for so stupid of reasons."

Fortunately, the writer is eligible for a cabinet post if all of this goes through.

It's "Politicians don't usually quit for such stupid reasons," jackass.

Sarah Palin -- What a Schmuck

It doesn't really bother me too much.

I guess that's because I'm not as sensitive as I used to be.

I don't see anything grossly distasteful about that one. I disagree, but who cares. The piece in the OP is disgusting, and I'm glad to see our board members on the other side of the aisle in agreement with that. (Not that I expected anything less. Though I disagree with many on the left around here, I don't know any that would support something as pathetic as this.)

[Burgold]

That's just horrible. That writer ought to be fired. Iresponisbile and ugly.

[ECU-ALUM]

Not a Palin fan at all...but that is just wrong on every level. She may not be a member of Mensa but one does not become a major player in politics without having some kind of intellegence level beyond the average person.

Not too bad

[StillUnknown]

some people are arrogant about their idiocy

dude should be fired with the quickness

[Teller]

Not too bad

Agreed. There's nothing there that screams out at me that it's inappropriate, really on any level. Legit matters of politics are open for hearty,even biting, discussion. Mocking a child with a disabilities is never right. Never.

Civility is a lost art.
