Here's a timeline to remember:
1. Obama joked on Jay Leno that he bowled like a special Olympian.
2. Soon after, Obama apologized for the joke.
3. The next day, Sarah Palin said she was "shocked" at Obama's poor attempt at humor.
4. That same day day, Palin turned down nearly $40 million in Federal funding for programs catering to special education kids.
If Palin had looked further than her talking points, she would have seen the recovery package passed by Congress and signed into law by the president would have directed around $36 million to Alaska in Individuals with Disabilities Education Act money, including funding for the same Americans who participate in the Special Olympics.
Palin said she was shocked by Obama's comments. What about being shocked by your own actions? Actions do speak louder than words, you betcha.
And this is the same lady who doles out $1200 oil subsidy checks to all Alaskans calling the recovery package "bribes".
