WSJ Goes Into the Gutter on Sarah Palin

Here's the WSJ's June Kronholz looking into the soul of Sarah Palin and concluding that her newborn Trig is, well, just a cynical political prop:

"Little Trig Palin prompted more than delegate coos when he joined his mother on stage at the Republican convention. He also raised new questions among parents whose children have disabilities.

Was Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin simply including her 5-month-old son, who has Down syndrome, in a big family moment, or was she exploiting him in a tight presidential campaign? Would he help break down social barriers facing children with Down syndrome, or would those children now be drawn into the right-to-life debate?"

Wasn't it the media and the left wing blogosphere who raised all these questions and invaded her family's privacy?  Of course it was and that's where Krumholz went for her "sources."

"Among bloggers' top concerns is a Bush administration measure that would trim Medicaid funding for community services for people with disabilities. Democrats have so far stalled the cuts, which advocates for the disabled said would force the disabled back into institutions.

Blogs also were filled with questions about Gov. Palin's record on services to the disabled during her two years in state office. This spring, Alaska agreed to almost triple its spending on special-needs children, to $73,840 each beginning in 2011. But Gov. Palin didn't help draft the legislation."

She didn't help draft the legislation??  Obviously a sign of neglect!!
