Jeez, that was sort of a joke. Maybe she didn't want a family picture for all posterity with her looking like she was about to deliver.

Default New Twist to Family Guy saga

New twist to the Sarah Palin vs Family Guy...

The Family Guy voice actress & character copy,Andrea Fay Friedman, was an actual down's syndrome woman & she herself fired back at Palin's attack of "cruel,coldhearted":

Let's see, Sarah. I'm confused. Is it realistic humor, satire, or as Ms. Friedman so aptly put it, sarcasm? Or is there now a bit of irony thrown in?

This article just convinced me that Palin did this for another chance to whine and cry.

Q. When did you find out about the reaction that the episode elicited from Sarah Palin and her family?
A.
[laughs] That I did not even know about until my mom told me, “You’re on Channel 4!” And when I watched on Channel 4, on “Extra,” and I saw Sarah Palin with her son Trig. I’m like, “I’m not Trig. This is my life.” I was making fun of Sarah Palin, but not her son.

Wow, the twist is pretty interesting. I'm sure some loons out there will find a way to "twist" the twist here. But it is what it is. Friedman has a sense of humor AND is willing to call b.s. I love the "I think it's called sarcasm" bit.

I asked it before, and I will ask it again-where is hussein obam's real birth certificate?


Funny that you are talking about off limits.

It's been shown, it's your own problem that you don't believe it. but of course, it's you and you are one of the posters not willing to be completely pro-Republican.

Perfect example of right wing christian family values.
The entire family should have been created as pinyatas, since they're sooo easy to poke a little fun at.

In certain ways Palin is a brilliant manipulator to divert the attention from the underlying implication of "palmgate" (that she actually needed notes on her palm to remember the answer to the pre-arranged question of the 3 important points of the Republican Party) to Poor-Persecuted- Me- Victim-of-Family Guy.

What's sad is that the baby did not even need to be brought into all of this.... and who was it that did that? Not Ms. Friedman!

Maybe not, but neither Sarah nor Bristol were pregnant when that photograph was taken.
