No serious person has ever made a joke about Trig. Poor baby was a new born when his mama was thrown into the spot light. Honestly, Palin put her own children in the spot light in the way that no other politician ever has. When you use your kids as props, people feel like they are fair game, whether or not that is fair. Comics, which you have pointed out, make a living saying outrageous things. Wayne Brady is not a part of the political dialogue and should not be used as an excuse to ramp up rhetoric. Making fun of those with disabilities is distasteful regardless of their parentage...God knows the joke didn't bother Trig any at his age, but others with Trisomy 21 may not take so kindly to the joke.
