Q: (CNN) On Friday morning, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) stood before the Values Voters Summit and made fun of people with disabilities. After a joke about people running for office being "no-brainers," he got mock-serious. "And I do want to warn," he said, "Since most people here are Christians ... A true believer does what Jesus did ... you don't make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs. And whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired." The crowd then displayed their values, laughing and clapping loudly. This is funny? Everyone needs to stop using disability as a punchline. Whatever you think of Clinton, jokes from people who should be leaders -- like Gohmert -- and the crowd's giddy response come with very real collateral damage for millions of people with disabilities whose humanity is too easily ignored.David Perry: At Values Voters event, GOP Rep.

Q: Stoke boss Mark Hughes believes the quality Ibrahim Afellay demonstrated in the Capital One Cup quarter-final victory over Sheffield Wednesday should have come as no surprise to anyone. Afellay has been struggling to live up to the excitement that had been generated among Potters fans by his signing over the summer. The 29-year-old Holland international and ex-Barcelona player was sent off in only his fourth game for Stoke and failed to regain a starting place in the Barclays Premier League thereafter. But having been handed a start against Wednesday in the cup tie at the Britannia Stadium, he registered his first Stoke goal in fine style with a delightfully-executed volley on the half-hour mark.Stoke beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in the Capital One CupIbrahim Afellay and Phil Bardsley scored the goals for the PottersMark Hughes was impressed with Afellay's performance on Tuesday night
