Sympathy For The Palins

"Family Guy" sure knows how to gussy up cruelty in an attractive package:
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol have issued a statement on Facebook blasting Fox's TV network for running a show that makes fun of individuals living with Down's Syndrome.

On Sunday's Family Guy, the character Chris Griffin dates a woman suffering from Down's Syndrome. The woman says her mother was the former governor of Alaska, suggesting she's making fun of Palin's youngest son, Trig, who has the condition.

"My dad's an accountant, and my mom's the former governor of Alaska," the mentally challenged character quipped.

In a Facebook statement, Sarah Palin called "yesterday’s Fox show" "another kick in the gut," and asked, "when is enough, enough?"
