I can’t imagine Gov Palin is pleased hearing what came out barry’s mouth: as a mother, a mother of a special soul, a mother of a future Special Olympian, a governor, an American and as a citizen of the human race. Here she talks about the importance if the Special Olympics - which were held in Boise, Idaho in February - from what looks like her youngest daughter’s bedroom with Trig sitting on her lap.
Imagine how she heard barry’s disgusting words. Must have been reminiscent of jonjon alter’s “disabled infant” comment in NEWSWEEK.
Imagine if Gov Palin or Madame Secretary Clinton would have said: “My public speaking is - it’s like the Miss Black Teen talent contest. Ha-ha-ha.”
The uproar then?
So why hasn’t barry been held to the same standard?
Same as always: the Double Standard.

Her message: the Special Olympics will afford Trig the chance to engage in sports and competition the way the rest of her athletic family has been able and that his participation will be given the same attention as his siblings. And, of course, her trademark:
You know what the difference is between a hockey mom and a Special Olympics hockey mom?
Nothing!
