Suffer The Little Children

During the final Presidential Debate, many cringed as John McCain said repeatedly that his campaign understood the needs of special children "because of Sarah Palin". He repeatedly used the term Autism. The cringe factor, (due to ageism, no doubt), was the feeling that he was misspeaking. That he meant to say Down Syndrome as it related to the Palin's 5th child.

Crisis averted: turns out Sarah Palin's sister has a son with Autism.

And...this will all be cleared up TODAY because Palin is scheduled to give a "major policy speech" on the issue of government assistance in the lives of special needs children. This will become a "national priority".

I will refrain from any possible cynicism at this point. None from this desk. Nope, won't even go there. Whatever you're thinking...I'm not thinking that.
