Damn, whottt has to be against autism research now.
His imaginary girlfriend sure isn't making it easy for him.
And Palin officially has no credibility. At all. Period. Zero.
I will never, ever support a platform this lady is a part of. She is a complete disgrace, and she is ing STUPID. There's no other way to put it.

What happened!?
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/24/palin-fruit-flies/
This morning, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) gave her first policy speech urging the federal government to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), “a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation.” In the speech, Palin cited the need to do more for children with disabilities such as autism:
For many parents of children with disabilities, the most valuable thing of all is information. Early identification of a cognitive or other disorder, especially autism, can make a life-changing difference.
Palin claimed that the amount that Congress spends on earmarks “is more than the shortfall to fully fund IDEA.” She then ridiculed some of the projects — such as “fruit fly research” — saying they have little or no value:
Where does a lot of that earmark money end up anyway? […] You’ve heard about some of these pet projects they really don’t make a whole lot of sense and sometimes these dollars go to projects that have little or nothing to do with the public good. Things like fruit fly research in Paris, France. I kid you not.
Watch it:
Palin did not specify what fruit fly research earmark she was referring to (presumably a grant for olive fruit fly research), but she is apparently unaware that scientific research with fruit flies has led to valuable discoveries that have boosted autism research, as a study at the University of North Carolina demonstrated last year:
[S]cientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have shown that a protein called neurexin is required for..nerve cell connections to form and function correctly.
The discovery, made in Drosophila fruit flies may lead to advances in understanding autism spectrum disorders, as recently, human neurexins have been identified as a genetic risk factor for autism.
She's a walking, talking joke, donchaknow-youbetcha-goshdarnit-geewillikers-shucksaroonie!
Fortunately for Sarah, she didn't stick her foot in her mouth.
Unfortunately for her, she continued pushing, sucking, and managed to wind up with a Nike in her ing stomach.
Don't quote this: whottt will now declare that the McCain campaign is now intentionally trying to sabotage Palin's political future.
No wonder they won't let her talk to the press. She is a nightmare. Is she even aware that we have an international bee crisis and studying the pollination effects of other insects is of extreme importance? Even barring the autism element here (which is damning) there should have been a red flag in the back of her head that something like this could have to do with pollination research and kept her mouth shut.
That's a bold statement...
I told you not to quote it. Now he'll see it
Ah, who am I kidding? He reads them all.
Pfff. Like he doesn't read every comment you make anyway. Clicking "show" about 50 times per day is well worth the self-assurance to Whottt that he is superior in every aspect and can prove it by not paying attention to you.

Quick! Predict BRHornet's take on it, before he comes storming in here!
BR's take will consist of some non sequitur YouTube with a black person using racial epithets for black people.
sons (followed by childish, racist, and erotic nonsense a la his alter ego gtown).
god bless sons
...it might be that she hasn't read it in one of the papers or magazines she reads...
Yeah. She was probably tired after finding all the hidden objects in the most recent edition of Highlights.
...the silly woman talks about elitests and then takes a shopping trip worth more than my house...
Wow... where are the Palin supporters rushing to her defense!?
She'll say whatever they tell her to, but which speechwriter vetted this?
Nah....she's such a maverick she just shoots from the hip...right to her foot...
John the Desperate, Sarah the Moron, Joe the Plumber and Ashley the Liar. Grand Ol' Party indeed.
Bump.
Still nothing? I thought Palin was the best thing to happen to the RNC? Where are you guys to defend her?
Is this directed at anyone not named whottt?
Someone needs to break out that 3million dollar Overhead projector and show her the facts.
