Trig's Crew is really freaking pissed. Yesterday we noted the growing outrage directed at the very often hilarious politics blog Wonkette and writer Jack Stuef, who perhaps took it too far when he wrote a relentlessly mean, but still satirical post about Sarah Palin's son Trig, born with Down Syndrome, on his birthday, calling him "the greatest prop in world political history."
Stuef didn't stop there, though, riffing endlessly on Trig's disability. A poem by a Palin supporter to Trig ended, "Dream on little boy as the Angels stand guard," and Stuef responded, "What's he dreaming about? Nothing. He's retarded."
The whole thing was pretty dark. Now it's been disappeared from Wonkette, an apology in his place, but the angry mob is only growing, calling for all advertisers to abandon the site. Let's talk more about it in Press Clips, our daily media column.
