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.
I think its just offensive to even point out that her child has downs syndrome, why bother bringing it up if you are family guy

they are doing it because they know it will get a response out of her, and to people who didn't see the point of the episode they probably just viewed it as making fun of people with downs syndrome

and I wouldn't solely classify the republicans as masters of spin, every politician would fall under that category
