Palin is right, "retard" is wrong


Rahm Emanuel shouldn't have said it, Rush Limbaugh shouldn't have said it -- though what Dear Leader Rush said was much worse:

"Our political correct [sic] society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards," Rush said, adding that Rahm's meeting [on Wednesday] with advocates for the mentally handicapped was a "retard summit at the White House."

In response, a spokesperson for Sarah Palin wrote that "Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful."

Yes. Yes it is. And Rush is a demeaning, disrespectful jackass. 

But I'm sure this little spat -- she hardly ripped him, after all -- won't prevent her from engaging in many more mutual sucking-up sessions with him in future.
