Allahpundit earlier today linked to the latest Palingates attack on Palin, dealing with the Family Guy kerfuffle. Like everyone else (including, it seems from today's coverage, the entire MSM), I never saw the episode so I wasn't really able to comment on it. Well, I just did. And I kinda wished I didn't.
Want to know why? Just take a look at this transcript of a song which occurs around the 20 minute mark in which the Down's Syndrome girl is described as, among other things, "a special person's wettest dream" and a "little whore". Funny, no? Hysterical. Makes you wonder why Gov. Palin didn't laugh about it, really. I mean, where's her sense of humor?
Here's the transcript of the entire song, courtesy of reader Deirdre. Warning, absolutely NSFW:
"You’ve got to look your best tonight, you tubby little parasite ‘Cause there’s a lovely lady and she’s waiting for you. And though her pretty face may seem A special person’s wettest dream Before you get to see it there are things you must do. We’ll try a tie, and boutonniere of yellow. A rose that shows that you’re a classy fellow. With a posh panache of Jefferson at Monticello, Busting out a mile with style. I know you just can’t wait to stare At all that luscious orange hair But boy before you touch a single curl You must impress that ultra boomin’, All-consumin’, poorly groomin’ Down syndrome girl. On any normal day you reek As if you’re on a farting streak, Your fingers up your nose and you are dripping with drool. But if you want a lady’s love, You’re better off by smelling of A gentleman’s cologne instead of sneakers and stool. A squirt, a spurt of something just for Ellen And you’ll see that she will find you so compellin’. And she does because the only smell that she’ll be smellin’ Won’t be comin’ from your bum. You want to take that little whore And spin her on the dancing floor But boy, before you do a single twirl – You must impress that effervescing, Self-possessing, no-BS-ing Down syndrome girl. Her eyes are emerald portals to a secret land of love And her smile is like the sweetest summer flower. Her kiss is so inviting, and her hugs are so delighting. And what makes them really nice is that they’ve got a little spice Because they’re tighter than a vice and they go on for an hour. My boy, between the two of us we’ll get you on that shorty bus. And then you’re going to take it for a whirl. Now go impress that super-thrilling, Wish-fulfilling, Yoo-Hoo-spilling, Ultra-swinging, boner-bringing, Daily singing, ding-a-linging Stupefying, fortifying, As-of-Monday-shoelace-tying, Stimulating, titillating, Kitty-cat impersonating, Mega-rocking, pillow talking, Just a little crooked walking, Poorly pouting, boobies sprouting, For some reason always shouting, Fascinating, captivating, Happiness and joy creating Down syndrome girl
Okay, there’s stuff that’s funny at a drunken party that doesn’t always translate well to broadcast television. I mean, you can put it in the show, but you should know going in that you’re going to get crapped on for it. At best, this is that kind of funny.
I’ve always liked dark humor, but after giving “Family Guy” numerous chances, I realized it’s not so much darkly-humored as just an excercise in downright vileness.
Was that in the Family guy show? That is disgusting.
The DS actress who did the voiceover is being exploited by her parents and the network.
People need to lean on FOX about this incident.
Yes.
Now do you know what we’ve been talking about?
???????????? are you talking about? I know the subject of this thread.
Hehehehe......omg, I am a bad, bad person.
Don’t get mad, get even. And may God bless you and your child.
My neice, Jessa, is a few months older than my 16 year old son. She is funny, and caring and full of hugs!
Our family is close enough that she has grown up with my children. For many years she called me "dad" because that is what my children called me.
She is a heart melting sweet heart!
You set the straw man up and then you knock it down.
And then you give yourself away.
Well thank you and Bless you and yours. All the more reason from just my pov that when someone in the name of humor has it at the expense of say a Down Syndrome person said ‘’humorist’’ is the perfect canidate for a knuckle sandwich. Learns’em up fast not to make such ‘’’humor’’ at someone else’s expense.
This is not in any way funny. I hope some reporter somewhere has the guts to read the lyrics onair and then ask if anyone finds them offensive...then tell them where they came from.
I concur!
Revolting “Family Guy” attack on Sarah and her family.
God help anyone around here that is a conservative, but who thinks Palin is a weak candidate. If we nominate her, she will get knocked out of the running by September.
She has little experience.
She cannot deliver a speech without sounding sing-songy.
I have never heard her give a speech with anything other than cliches making her sound like Reagan-lite. (I spend my day with the TV on, while I work on the computer. I have seen her speak dozens of times—more than most of the Palin-fanatics on this site.)
I would love to hear her sit down and give a good discussion on her policy ideas, acting and sounding like a serious person.
Finally, haven’t we had enough of people will little practical experience in running major organizations. And no, three years as Governor, with half of that time on the road does not count as practical experience.
I do not have a problem with her speaking out about her children and the comments and attacks made towards them. BUT, if you want them out of the limelight, keep them out of the limelight. If you make your child’s disability part of your stump speech, expect to get some attacks.
I am not saying she isn’t nice. I am not calling her stupid. I am saying we need to get past what people say, and focus on what they do. And so far, i haven’t seen much of what she has done that has impressed me. Haven’t we had enough of the celebrity elections?
So, that is my position on Palin. If you look back at my posts, it has been my position on her since the election. I haven’t changed in six months. So I am not sure what you mean when you say, “I give myself away.”
The First Amendment to the Constitution means that I can tell the emperor that he has no clothes on. I can tell Palin I don’t like her. I can respond to the guys that call me names on this thread. If I wanted to, i could publicly call Sarah’s kids names and make fun of their disabilities.
If I do all that on a TV show that has advertisers, I can boycott their products and I can protest and picket their program and products.
That is why this is a great country.
She sure is and reflects their opinions in her comments.
I’m far from recovered, but doing much better. Thanks dear friend.
