Yeah, I'm not sure either. I watched the episode and I thought at the time it was kind of a low blow but as I've already stated without the full context of the comment I don't see what is offensive about the girl saying "my mom is governor of alaska".

My initial memory suggested that Family Guy was implying that it is somehow hereditary, like ######s breed ######s, which is quite offensive to Palin but in the context of the article I can't find anything offensive about it.
