Are people freaked out by the wheelchair? I don’t get it. It’s like making fun of the sneakers Wendy wore when she filibustered. I don’t know whether Abbott has done that, but I would see it as equivalent. Maybe I am un-freaked because I work on wheelchairs. It’s just another means of transportation. It happens that Abbott uses one because a tree fell on him.

I don’t think it’s any worse than calling Davis ‘Abortion Barbie’. And by the way, it’s the ‘Barbie’ part that’s offensive. It means ‘airheaded doll’ and they use it because Davis is blond.
