As expected Sarah Palin makes an ass out of herself in Joplin

From The Joplin Globe


When Sarah Palin was told her child would have Down syndrome, her doctor gave her a book. But Palin couldn’t open it because she wasn’t sure she was equipped to handle it.

She remembered asking her husband, “Why us?”

His response: “Why not us?”
Palin spoke Thursday night to a filled Taylor Performing Arts Center on the Missouri Southern State University campus. Her talk was part of an informational and fundraising event for LifeChoices Health Network, which spent the night marking its 25th anniversary.
Mixing her talk with jokes, her political thoughts and various anecdotes, the former Alaskan governor and vice presidential nominee spoke about having a child with Down syndrome, as well as about her daughter Bristol’s pregnancy.
“It’s not a story; it’s a chapter of my life,” she said.
She reflected on being 12 weeks pregnant and having an ultrasound when the technician told her the baby’s neck was a bit thicker than normal. At the time, Palin was told there was a good chance things would be just fine.
Later, however, when the doctor performed more tests, Palin found out her child would have Down syndrome.
At the time, she wasn’t sure she could handle it, she said. She was busy being the governor, chairing a board and taking care of four other children. About that time, her daughter Bristol announced that she was pregnant.

I think I will spare all of you and now post any video.  I just watched it and now I have a headache.
