Bill Clinton: Having a "Down syndrome kid" gives Palin a boost
The Associated Press
NEW YORK | Bill Clinton says he understands why Sarah Palin is popular in the heartland.
Clinton said Monday that since he's from Arkansas, he understands why voters would identify with Palin.
He said voters would think, "I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They're wonderful children. They're wonderful people."
Palin, the governor of Alaska, became an overnight star when Republican presidential candidate John McCain tapped her for his running mate.
"People look at her, and they say, 'All those kids. Something that happens in everybody's family. I'm glad she loves her daughter and she's not ashamed of her. Glad that girl's going around with her boyfriend. Glad they're going to get married.'"
Clinton said voters would think, "And I like the idea that this guy does those long-distance races. Stayed in the race for 500 miles with a broken arm. My kind of guy."
Palin's family, including her Down syndrome baby, Trig, her pregnant 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, and her husband, Todd, four-time winner of the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmobile race, have garnered intense media interest.
"I get this," Clinton said. "My view is ... why say, ever, anything bad about a person? Why don't we like them and celebrate them and be happy for her elevation to the ticket? And just say that she was a good choice for him and we disagree with them?"
The Clinton Global Initiative, a project of Clinton's foundation, will hold its four-day annual meeting in Manhattan startng Tuesday.
After that, Clinton said he will be busy campaigning for the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Only Bill Clinton could get away with saying this kind of garbage without any uproar by the MSM.
Maybe he was talking about this down syndrome kid in particular?
