The Huffington Post, an official arm of the Obama administration, published an article a few minutes ago on the resignation of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin with the following headline: Palin Will Run in ‘12 on More Retardation Platform
To make sure that the article’s reference to Gov. Palin’s infant son Trig who was born with Down Syndrome last year, the article is keyword tagged by the Huffington Post: …Sarah Palin Trig; Trig; Comedy News
The article is authored by Erik Sean Nelson was posted at the Huffington Post at 6 p.m. EDT.
The text of the article:
In Sarah Palin’s resignation announcement she complained about the treatment of her son Trig who always teaches her life lessons. She said that the “world needs more Trigs, not fewer.” That’s a presidential campaign promise we can all get behind. She will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people. To me, it’s kinda like saying the world needs more cancer patients because they teach us such personal lessons.
Her first act as President: To introduce a Pre-K lunch buffet that includes lead paint chips. Sort of a Large HEAD-START Program.
She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40’s just to mix up some chromosomes.
She now is in favor of abortion only in case of diploid birth.
Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter.
This will lead to smaller government because fewer Americans will have the cognitive ability to hold a government job.
Look, she says she’s resigning as governor because people are making attacks on her and Trig. If she ever did become president, all Osama bin Laden would have to do to defeat the United States is Photoshop a picture of Trig and she’d surrender the country that night. As she said, “That’s not politics as usual.” It isn’t. Politicians don’t usually quit for so stupid of reasons.

The Huffington Post was recently invited to the White House to ask a question of Barack Obama at a nationally televised press conference. The questioner, HuffPo National Editor Nico Pitney, asked a question on a pre-arranged topic of Obama. Pitney was trusted to do so because of his background as a Democratic party operative.

And his lame apology:
I wrote a piece making fun of the fact that a Trig Palin joke was given as the reason that Sarah Palin left office. I wrote jokes that were offensive but my intent was for them to be ironic and therefore not offensive. I was wrong. Within ten minutes of my post I received some emails from the loved ones of the retarded and I saw that my piece was hurtful. Therefore, I removed the post right after receiving the first 2 emails.
I removed it immediately because I saw that it did not come across as I intended. I apologize to all of those who were offended.
Sometimes the stupidity of people in the media just baffles the hell outta me. I rarely read anything that’s reported anywhere having anything to do with politics or even current events in general. I’m not sure why I made an exception just now but it reinforced my reasoning.
I hope that made sense, I’m drugged
I agree the failed attempt at comedy at the expense of the developmentally challenged was a bad judgment call and I am glad they pulled it. But after that you lose me. Unless you are willing to concede that Fox News is in bed with the Republicans, I might (although its a stretch) give you that Ariana Huffington is doing Obama’s bidding. As to Nico Pitney..he is a journalist, and one of several online media journalist that are invited to participate in the press conferences in the White House. Nico Pitney had been blogging all week with reports from bloggers in Iran during the election related demonstrations…So while Obama probably knew if he called on him it would be about Iran, its not likely he knew the question, and if he did,I don’t know why he would have called on him, it was the toughest question of the press conference… “Under what conditions would you accept an Ahmadinejad victory as legitimate?”- and truth be told, Obama managed not to answer it in any meaningful way.
Fuck right off, you whiny twat.
@ OW – it did
@ Elizabeth – If you have spent time watching Fox News, you will know that they are so NOT in bed with the Republicans. Glenn Beck is neither for Democrats nor Republicans. He challenges both, equally. Same thing with Bill O’Reilly and Brett Baier. I think that the only people who don’t know that about Fox are the people who don’t watch it. Also, please see my post about loving Helen Thomas for how much Barry is controlling the media.
@ pratfall – namecalling, no matter to whom it is directed, gets you nowhere. Explain yourself, your position.
I watch more Fox than I care too. Living in Argentina its either CNN Asian Edition (dont have a clue why) Fox or BBC. O’Reilly and Beck are personalities that have opinion shows. I am talking about when the news is being presented as fact and the anchors use GOP talking points. Watch the BBC if you want to see the news delivered as objectively as it can be.
Fascinating blog, cant figure out where you are coming from but interesting none the less.
@ Elizabeth – I would agree that the BBC is pretty objective. It’s all in perception, though of course. As a resident of the USA, I do have a different point of view. I will write a post about my point of view on politics soon.
