“We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied. Trig is our ‘blessed little angel’ who knows it and is lovingly called that every day of his life. [...] Consider the source ... Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention.”
—Sarah Palin responds to comments Levi Johnston made on CBS’s “The Early Show” yesterday that she has referred to her infant son, Trig, who has Down syndrome, as “retarded.” [via People.com]

Wifey and I were talking about this yesterday evening, but were unable to come to any satisfactory conclusions. On the one hand, something tells me political correctness isn’t something Sarah Palin concerns herself with when she’s not on camera. But on the other hand, Levi Johnston (or The Palin Impaler as a DJ called him this morning) does not exactly ooze credibility.

Medically retarded is the medical term for what he has. Is this no longer PC? I’m so behind…

@loveitalia: You mean Mental Retardation is the medical term and some people prefer developmentally disabled. And her son has Down Syndrome, which is different from mental retardation.

Real class would not have dignified an almost soninlaw with an answer.
