Palin: Let's stop funding fruit flies and start researching autism. Scientists: Uhhh, we study the one to study the other....
Yes, autism again.
ThinkProgress said this better than any of us in the lab: "Palin did not specify what fruit fly research earmark she was referring to (presumably a grant for olive fruit fly research), but she is apparently unaware that scientific research with fruit flies has led to valuable discoveries that have boosted autism research...."
More about that specific research here, if you're more curious than certain candidates.
Or, if you'd like to help us MODIFY THE BRUNDLE CHAMBER into something a little more LIKE A RAY, WE HAVE OPENINGS IN THE LAB!!!

Beautiful! Nice job on the links. Palin is becoming even more of a joke as the days pass, (hard to believe). It is amazing to think that she or any one else on the right side of the aisle thinks she has a political future.

This was a pretty huge gaffe for Palin's first policy speech. I am surprised that we haven't heard more about it.
