Ultimately, parenting a special needs child is a profoundly humbling experience. It forces a renunciation of the vanity of viewing your children as exemplars of your own special virtues. Perhaps this is the thing that sticks in our craws so much about Sarah Palin, who appears to have transformed one form of vanity about one's children into another.
