Wonkette Deletes Controversial Trig Palin Post
Editors issue apology for 'poor comedic judgment'
Wonkette, the gossipy political blog, has deleted a post mocking Sarah Palin's son Trig, who has Down syndrome, after many of its advertisers announced that they would withdraw their advertisements from the site. However, Wonkette editor Ken Layne still maintains that the true target of the post was the former governor of Alaska, not her son.
"A post on this page satirizing Sarah Palin using her baby as a political prop was very badly done and sounded like the author was mocking the child and not just Sarah Palin/Sarah Palin’s followers," Wonkette said in a note explaining the deletion.
