Here's the scoop: in a profile in The Wall Street Journal from last Friday, in which a bunch of super liberal progressives whined that Rahmbo was too political and wasn't helping the left enough (which is exactly why they went crying to that liberal bastion The Wall Street Journal), a story was mentioned in which, when these progressive liberals suggested, in August, that they should run attack ads on conservative Dems who were most likely not going to vote for the health care bill, Rahm reportedly said, "That's fucking retarded." (Because it was! And he was right!)
So anyhoodle, Ms. Sarah Palin (whose Facebook profile says she's a Politician, while Rahm's says Other Public Figure and do we not see a problem here?) has decided to comment on a 6-month-old comment because, as Wonkette put it, she hasn't gotten attention in a week. Here is some of what she said:
A patriot in North Andover, Massachusetts, notified me of Rahm’s “retarded” slam. I join this gentleman, who is the father of a beautiful child born with Down Syndrome, in asking why the Special Olympics, National Down Syndrome Society and other groups condemning Rahm’s degrading scolding have been completely ignored by the White House. No comment from his boss, the president?
Sadly, Rahmbo has apologized, but I was so looking forward to a Facebook war. One wonders what he's saying in private about Palin, and hopes it gets leaked for the public's eternal merriment.
*Sigh* Be my Valentine.
I understand where people are coming from, though - I mean, okay, she's being annoying, but she does have a point about the "retarded" thing. It's just that she's doing it for other reasons than mere political correctness.
