Special Needs Congressman Gets in Trouble with the Law

Little Skye saw a picture of Congressman Ney on the
news. It was a bad picture. The angle of the camera
was looking up making his nostrils look larger and his
eyes puffier.

I'm watching this story unfold and I'm thinking "Good!
I'm glad that republican got busted! One down. How
many more to go?" or some such thoughts.

Then Skye says "He looks like a special needs kid."

I giggled and Skye said "It's not funny, Mommy. You
shouldn't laugh at special needs kids."

I had to apologize and tell Skye that Ney isn't a
special needs kid. It was just a bad photo of a
republican who got in trouble for doing something
naughty. But I am glad that he has such high hopes for
special needs kids, that they can win votes and be
elected as public officials.
