I'm not sure what to make of this. I suppose I can understand wanting to define for future pageants what does and does not constitute "disabled." On the other hand, I seem to recall that FDR was usually photographed standing up so as not to give his detractors ammunition. Nobody would deny that he was disabled.
Technically, my Tourette's Syndrome qualifies as a disability, but I'm not getting any special parking permits for it. (Nor barking permits, for that matter.) Maybe disability is in the eye of the beholder. (No disrespect to blind people intended.)
Then again, maybe it's just a silly attempt at sour grapes.
