Oh, man. This is too sweet. An Onion-type headline made real:
Actress With Down Syndrome Mocks Sarah Palin’s Outrage at Character With Down Syndrome: Actress then explains sarcasm to former VP candidate… sarcastically.
Far and away my favorite news item of 2010. Faith in humanity, temporarily restored. She works at a law firm. Does some acting gigs on the side. From the sound of it, she’s better-adjusted than, like, half of us. Good for her.
We’re so used to hearing from the PC Police as a crazy phenomenon of the left. But wingnuts do it, too.
This.
“…But mostly, it doesn’t matter if you have Down syndrome…” She’s cool.
Damn this girl is hilarious. My favorite bit?
I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”
In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.
