Andrea Fay Friedman, the voice actress who played the role of "Ellen" --the character depicted as having Down syndrome on the Valentine's Day episode of Family Guy, has responded to the criticism of sometime-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Of special significance, Friedman herself has Down syndrome. Palingates has Friedman's complete response: My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Large Medium" episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in " Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm". In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.

Good line.
(laughing)
The fact I was an RM2 escapes you obviously, and what that implies. Badeye posted on 2007-01-30 16:42:29 ET Reply Trace Wasn't one of the Kennedy clan siblings retarded? Didn't the old man have her lobotomized? Too bad a "Family Guy" equivalent wasn't around at the time. I'll bet Uncle Milty would have had a field day with that situation. And everyone would have found it hilarious.
Day after day, Too bad a "Family Guy" equivalent wasn't around at the time. I'll bet Uncle Milty would have had a field day with that situation. And everyone would have found it hilarious. Sounds funny. I hope you get credit for it if they use it.
That was a standard treatment for several mental illnesses and disorders in that era. Palin does carry Trig around like a loaf of bread but don't you dare comment on it otherwise you will be accused of being in favor of abortion.

Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
