Gov. Sarah Palin was in town this past weekend for the Autism Speaks walk in New York. I’m not pleased she participated even though her nephew is on the spectrum. I’m afraid I can’t separate my politics and feelings about Palin from her supportive appearance in an organization I believe in. Her record of public service has been so clouded with dishonesty and mistrust that she doesn’t seem able to make the simplest gesture without a clownish response from the public.
Huffington Post weighed in on her speech with a query about her toe nails. Youtube is down so I can’t put in a link to her speech – if you search it comes up right away. I hope to listen to it later.
well.... what IS painted on them?
Even without the toenails and the Letterman jokes (why couldn’t she just ignore those?), it’s impossible for me to see her involvement as anything but a calculated campaign move. Palin concerned about families affected by autism? Please. Palin concerned about 2012.
