not that this should be unexpected coming from the palin camp but....
in Palin first policy speech today in which she is calling for increased funding for special needs children, she goes on belittle earmark spending on such frivolous things like fruit fly research... turns out that a certain type of protein discovered via fruit fly research might lead to advance in the research of autism... guess doing anything involving research is beyond the grasp of palin and her handlers, it's makes the most sense just to string together a bunch of talking point together and call it policy.
it's not a gaff or blunder, it's just plain incompetence
