Fox could be heading to Sarah Palin's doghouse after the animated show "Family Guy" appeared to mock her son's Down syndrome on Feb. 14.
In the taste-challenged episode, one of the show's characters dates a woman who apparently suffers from Down syndrome. The woman makes comparisons to Palin's 22-month-old son, Trig.
"My dad's an accountant, and my mom's the former governor of Alaska," the mentally disabled character said, without mentioning any names.
The irreverent cartoon stepped over the line just days after Palin lambasted both White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and radio talkmeister Rush Limbaugh for using the word "retard," which she considers an unacceptable slur.
There was no immediate comment from Palin, who recently became a Fox News contributor.
The former Republican Vice Presidential candidate demanded that Emanuel be fired for using the r-word to describe liberal activists in a closed-door meeting last summer.
She also called Limbaugh "disrespectful" for using the word during his program.
