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

Newsbusters, Sat, 09/25/2010: Maher Guest MacFarlane Declares He’d Have Sex w/ Christine O’Donnell: ‘I Would Wreck That Chick’

Appearing as a guest on Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane made a crack about his willingness to have sex with Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell after host Maher showed a clip of O’Donnell from a Politically Incorrect episode from 1998. After a clip of the GOP candidate in which denied believing in the theory of evolution, MacFarlane declared, "I would, I would wreck that chick."

According to its definition at urbandictionary.com, the term "wreck" was apparently first used in a sexual sense in an episode of MacFarlane’s crude Family Guy show on Fox. Maher laughed while there was only mild laughter from the audience.

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

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

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?
