I did make the observation at work a few months ago that our boss resembles the Dad in Family Guy. Now no one in my office can look at him w/o chuckling.

[nutmeg]

Wow... how despicable. I haven’t been able to stand Seth MacFarlane for years, but this is a new low...

[del4hope]

I can honestly say that I have never seen it. Probably still won’t watch it with Rush on it. Other than sports, we do not watch much TV around here. And the sports are minimal too.

[Eagle of Liberty]

[del4hope]

Happy Birthday!!!!

[ColdOne]

After reading that I may not watch it. Rush or no Rush.

[del4hope]

I timed it good. Turned it on after the first half hour. He was done with the small talk.

LOL, you sure did! ;-)

[rightwingintelligentsia]

The caller wanted Rush to stop rooting for the Steelers because of the owner’s support of Obama!

[Eagle of Liberty]

I'm a big fan of Rush, but I will be skipping his "Family Guy" episode, especially after I read things like this:

Will probably skip out on the episode too. Remember the Family Guy Palin stuff?

For fans of the button-pushing cartoon, "Family Guy," the subject matter of last Sunday's episode was hardly shocking.

Actress with Down syndrome speaks out on cartoon that angered Sarah Palin. Chris Griffin, the show's awkward teenager, goes on a date with Ellen, a girl with Down syndrome.

"So what do your parents do?" he innocently asks.

Her response?

"My dad's an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska."

That one-line jab at Sarah Palin's special needs son, Trig, has led to a war of words between Palin and Seth MacFarlane, the cartoon's irreverent creator. Now, the battle between the two is being waged on TV, with a little-known actress caught in the middle.

And the actress who said the one-line jab?

Andrea Fay Friedman, 39, has Down syndrome. In addition to the "Family Guy" voice over, she has also worked on TV shows such as "Life Goes On" and "Law & Order" and gives motivational speeches around the world about Down syndrome.

Friedman said her "Family Guy" character should be inspirational to others with the disability. And she said the episode wasn't written to poke fun at Palin's son. It was designed to poke fun at the former governor.

"Sarah Palin didn't even get the joke," Friedman told ABC News.

"It would be nice if she did have a sense of humor. Come on Sarah, laugh a little," she added.

What was the joke?

[ColdOne]

Rush, in the past, has referred to the UN as the bar scene in Star Wars. and he would be correct!

[del4hope]

Was that the caller that sounded unhinged?

[IMissPresidentReagan]

I heard part of that call. That’s a little insane, imho.

[conservativebuckeye]

I’d like for everyone to stop rooting for the Steelers. Although, that caller was a little off his rocker.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Yup, definitely unhinged.

[del4hope]

That guy may be getting a visit from SS.

[nutmeg]

Actress with Down syndrome speaks out on cartoon that angered Sarah Palin. Chris Griffin, the show's awkward teenager, goes on a date with Ellen, a girl with Down syndrome.

Ugh, thanks for that reminder of yet another stellar episode of Family Guy.

I despise Seth MacFarlane... see post #53 above.

[AGreatPer]

Dumb a$$ Jets caller.
Sitting at a sports bar watching 9 games at one time, do we ask each other if we're Dems or Repubs?
We just don't care when it comes to sports.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I can’t stand Family Guy either. But I’ll be watching this Sunday.

If I can get through Bill Maher, Colbert Report or The Daily Show with Jon Liebowitz I can take FG.

OT, I can’t believe 2, count them TWO, Sunday talk shows used a segment form the Daily show as legitimate “opinion”. He even calls his show “fake news”. Too Bad Mitch McConnell or Mike Pence didn’t have the temerity to tell Greggy and Christiane Imawarwhore to stick it up their microphone.

[Eagle of Liberty]

It’s one thing to make fun of the politician, like SNL did with Tina Fey, but to go after her special needs kid? I just can’t stand that, especially after all of the other attacks her children have had to endure.

Just another double standard....

Sasha and Malia - off limits

Jenna and Barbara - report everything

Chelsea - off limits

Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig - report everything. YOU CAN EVEN MAKE STUFF UP!!
