Patrick Warburton, who the true geeks among us will remember as The Tick, sides with Palin over the FamilyGuy attack onTrig episode:
Cast member Patrick Warburton told TV critics Wednesday he objected to the joke.
Note to Ms. Palin — he was making a joke.
Phew. And I thought he was being serious.
Warburton is a Catholic, and he and his wife have four kids.
He may be The Tick to geeks, but to us dorks he’s Puddy!
I’m a dork. The episode where Puddy gets religion jumps to mind.
If we’re going to play this game, I suppose I should note that Andrea Fay Friedman, the actress who played the girl on the Family Guy episode (and who herself has Downs Syndrome) thinks Palin was the one who was out of line.
“My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.”
Yeah, she’s a real sweetheart BA.
Ms.Friedman seems to be doing the part of the house “low life African-American” for the Family Guy IMHO.
Marv,
I see you haven’t changed. Still wrong about pretty much everything, including contributors and commenters on this site. How very sad for you.
Oh, my goodness!
That last comment actually interrupted the finishing touches on a homily that has to be delivered in 25 minutes!
Judge much, Marv? “Her children are heavily involved in sex and drugs”? Scandalize much, either, for that matter?
what do you know of what Chelsea Clinton has or has not done (not that it matters)? the one thing everyone knows about Chelsea Clinton is that she hasn’t given birth to a child. We know *nothing* else. (not that I care to, but there it is.)
And it would not be inappropriate to moderate that little puppy out of the conversation.
I’ll pray for y’all at Mass.
In all honesty, haven’t had a chance to read the comments re Pat Buchanan. I’m not singling you out, Marv, really. I’m singling the comment out.
Re Sarah Palin and her motherhood, well…she ain’t Catholic. Is she a good role model for young women? I like much of what she does in public. MILF? Perhaps the carnal man might think so. But I choose to TRY not to think of ANYONE in that way, so as not to degrade either her or myself. Seems like she gets an awful lot of bad commentary based on the gifts god gave her. it isn’t like she spent millions on plastic surgery to look the way she does.
Lastly, “judge not” in the context of Scripture doesn’t mean that we should never call anything wrong because we all sin. Right and wrong are OBJECTIVE. Just because I smoke crack doesn’t mean I can’t call someone else wrong for doing it; it just means I recognize that I am wrong too. And your comments really do verge on being awfully ad hominem (what difference does my opinion about Sarah Palin’s politics OR body have to do with the correctness of her criticism of Seth Macfarlane (the correct answer is, “none”)?
We’d all be much more effective debaters if we stuck to the facts, and those conjectures and opinions supportable by facts. Whether Sarah Palin is pretty or not has no bearing, does it?
Marv, one of the joys of being a blog contributor is being able to pick and choose who I allow to comment on my threads. I have deleted your comments and you are now banned from commenting on my threads. Have a nice life.
