A poster that used to hang on my mother’s office wall proclaimed, “If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with baloney.” Or something to that effect. It is an adage apparently taken to heart by Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joseph Biden.
During a campaign stop in Columbus, Missouri, Biden took a swipe at his Republican Party counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and suggested that Republicans are not seriously concerned with special needs children because they do not support stem cell research. Palin is the mother of a child with Down’s Syndrome.
Said Biden: “I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy -- because there’s joy to it as well -- the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who was born with a birth defect. Well, guess what, folks? If you care about it, why don’t you support stem cell research?”
