She shouldn't have taken the bait because all it gave them was free publicity, but it was over the line
Is Palin ashamed that her child has Downs? Why would she be mad that a TV show brought it up?

My questions are only half rhetorical. Palin clearly knows what kind of show Family Guy is and regardless of how positive or negative the reference she was going to complain. Let's not forget that Republicans are the masters of spin and Palin using her child as a PR tool to gain sympathy and attention is expected.
